Lalita Pancharatnam - Special prayer during Dasara

[Guest guest]

The social and spiritual life of Telugus is replete with celebrations

that allow people to come together as common cultural group. During

Dasaranavaratri festival days,the energy aspect of almighty is

invoked in the form of Universal mother Lalita Tripurasundari. In

these days, the Godess is decorated in nine incarnations and on the

10th day Dasara ,She is worshipped with prayers as Lalita Devi.The

related stories from Devi Bhagavatam connected with these decorations

or avataaras convey significant messages for Personality development

and bliss. One Sloka from DeviBhagavatam:

 

Nodyamena vinarajyam nasukham naparaamgatim

Nirudyamamnasamsanti kaataraa nachasodyamaha

 

Without effort or purushaprayatnam nothing can be achieved in

life,either worldly happiness or moksham. Only incapables think of

non-effort and lazy do not make any effort for success and excellence.

 

Adi Sankara gifted us 'Lalita Pancharatnam' for ritual recitation

during these festival days. Reading,singing , listening and

understaninding showers the blessings of mother Durga.We listen to

Adi Sankaracharya's Lalita Pncharatnam during the Navaratri days.
