Guest guest Posted July 12, 2000 Report Share Posted July 12, 2000 To our friend in Glasgow (I too hope you'll share your name with us), I affirm all that Madhurima has said and would only add a couple of things: I recently learned that there are 1000 names for different deities, eg. Lakshmi. The 1000 names that Amma's devotees practice are the "Sri Lalita Sahasranama". Here's what Amma says about this practice: "Devi will always protect those who chant the Lalita Sahasranama with devotion every day. They will never face a shortage of food and basic necessities, and will also gain spiritual growth." Jai Ma!
