2006 Tour - St. Louis, MO
Sri Lalita Sahasranama Discourse
June 18, 2006
Our beloved Amma is welcomed to the Hindu Temple of St. Louis
Everyone ascends the steps to the temple hall, just as our minds
must ascend
to the level of Divinity to understand the
significance of Sri Lalita Sahasranama
A devotee offers a beautiful garland - Sri Lalita Sahasranama
is like a divine garland of eternal sound-flowers
It is said that chanting even one name from Sri Lalita Sahasranama
has the power to destroy all the sins from millions of births
Behind our beloved Amma, one can see a beautiful picture
of Sri Lalita Parameswari, served on either side
by Sri Maha Lakshmi and Sri Maha Saraswati
A devotee gives an introduction
Amma gives an auspicious start to the discourse by lighting the dipam -
Amma has said that the faces of those who chant Sri Lalita Sahasranama
become radiant with the brilliant light of Supreme Consciousness
Amma speaks about the inner significance of the
divine names within Sri Lalita Sahasranama
Everyone drinks in Amma's nectarean words
Amma leads everyone in singing Divine Mother's sacred names
Everyone joins with Amma in singing
May our hearts become as radiant as these arati trays
through the chanting of Divine Mother's auspicious names
Amma speaks with the devotees
After giving jnana prasadam to everyone, Amma distributes
fruit prasadam to her children
After blessing the audience with divine teachings on
Sri Lalita Sahasranama,
Amma gives her
personal blessings to everyone
