Gayatri Garu,

A wonderful write up on the meaning of Lalitha Sahasranamamu. I know it is foolish to imagine that the description of the Sahasranamam can be captured with a few words in English. But neverthless it is worthwhile to at least know the meaning of the words themselves and what they mean.

I am looking forward to the same kind of meanings of Vishnu Sahasranamam when you get a chance.

Best Regards,

Rajusk(CCDB)
