Guest guest Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Namaste All , I joined this group recently I started reading Lalitha Sahasra Namam some two month back.I dont know what motivated me to read it. I have listened to a talk which explains meaning of some of the namams in Lalitha Sahasra Namam.While listening to the talk, explanation of some names really moved me and i almost cried. At times i feel devotion to Amma ( " divine mother " ) in the sense that i love her like my mother. I dont know whether this devotion( " i am not sure whether this is devotion " ) made me read lalitha sahasra namam everyday. I dont know whether the reasons are selfish ( before i started reading i have read about the benefits that you get when you read Lalitha Sahasra Namam). there is a sincere question to everyone! why did you guys start reading Lalitha sahasra namam?? Is it because of selfish motives( like the benefits)? Is it because of Devotion to goddess?? I am facing a problem while reading Lalitha sahasra namam . Some days i get good concentration while reading. Some days my mind slips while reading it and wander here and there . How do you guys keep concentrating while reading??Is it because i am not intiated to Lalitha Sahasra Namam??Is it necessary to be intiated to read Lalitha Sahasra Namam? If it is necessary how do i know that the person who is initating is a person who is capable?? Although i lose concentration in between i started loving it for some reason. It just gives me so much energy and at times gives me a feeling that there is someone who is always there for me.Now that i have started reading I wont be able to stop it.Am i going in the right direction? prayers, Navaneeth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Dear Navaneethji, Welcome dear brother to our group. You are going in the right direction, entertain no doubts about this. However, persistence and caution are necessary. Maybe Amba is calling you to this path is all I can tell you right now.Each of my message is intuitively addressed to everyone who emails me with his or her problem and never on a generalized stance. I request however to you that you must read Lalitha Sahasranama after getting initiated into Panchadasi. To improve your concentration.Start reading about Goddess Lalitha, Goddess Rajarajeshwari,about Srividya path first from books.But do not practice any mantras or the like seeing books.This is just to inspire you,create a fire inside you.Concentration wavers because there is no real fire in the belly. When there is fire in the belly, then one gets working. Now, this is initial.Then there must be a fire in heart! Fire in heart makes you think of Amba even in your dreams. But first things first. Please read myold messages(Lalitha Sahasranama Vishayasoochika Parts 1 to 5): Message Numbers: 2433,2445,2446,2447 and 2453 Also, please read other messages of interest: Message Number: 2261,2605,3095,3133,3437,3705,3947 and 3951 Type the message numbers in the Search Message number facility(with your mail id login to our Group). Type " Lalitha Sahasranama " in the search facility and you would get tonnes of information from our Group postings and past queries by members. For anything do email me or post in this Group.Everytime I type about Devi, I get immense pleasure. Thankyou for giving me the pleasure.
