Recent Webinar: Saturday, October 4, 2025, 9 am PT / 12 pm ET / 9:30 pm IST
About the Webinar:
For countless devotees, the Lalitha Sahasranama Stotram is more than just a hymn, it is a lifeline of devotion, protection, and inner awakening. Chanted daily in homes and temples across the world, these thousand names of the Divine Mother encapsulate profound spiritual truths, invoking her grace, guidance, and presence. Each name reveals a facet of Devi as compassionate nurturer, fierce protector, radiant beauty, and supreme wisdom, offering strength in both ordinary moments and times of challenge.
Equally profound is Sundarkand from Tulsidas’ Ramcharitmanas, which shines a light on devotion through the heroic journey of Hanuman. Filled with courage, selflessness, and divine strength, Sundarkand shows how unwavering faith can overcome obstacles, heal despair, and restore hope. It is a scripture that uplifts the spirit, reminding us that even in the darkest times, devotion and dharma guide us forward.
Whether you are a lifelong devotee, a student of Sanskrit, or simply drawn to the beauty of sacred chanting and epic storytelling, this session will open a doorway to experiencing both the Divine Mother’s thousand names and Hanuman’s fearless devotion in a deeper, more personal way.
