Angebote / Angebote:

Chanting or listening to the one thousand names of the Lalita Sahasranama is a treasured practice among lovers of the red-hued Lalita Mahatripurasundari. If we can view this chant through the lens of the philosophy on which it is expounded, the namas pour into the moment-to-moment unfolding of life, which becomes infused with Lalita Devi's radiant presence. Instead of being hindrances to liberation, our challenging life circumstances become the doorways to freedom. Each of the thousand namas is a mantra. When we invite the namas into our inner landscape, the Lalita Sahasranama becomes a garland of mantras, where every life experience is rendered sacred because it can be found in the velvety folds of the chant. This kind of practice opens us to uncommon wisdom and sweetness-this is Glorious Alchemy!This commentary takes a non-traditional approach and provides a primer on Srividya, exploring concepts such as Ku¿¿alini, pra¿a, kosas, karma and acaras. Part II threads together the thousand namas on the basis of Srividya philosophy as it relates to life and personal practice. In addition, suggested contemplative practices are provided for further reflection on the namas. This book comes with a recording of the Lalita Sahasranama, as well as a guided meditation to facilitate the contemplative practices in Part II. Lnks to the recording are available on the New Sarum Press website.
