Sri Lalitashtakam by Shivram Das

Lalita is one of the nine principal gopis within traditional Gaudiya Vaishnava worship of Radha and Krishna within the Hindu religion. Of the eight Varistha Gopis, Astasakhis, Lalita is the foremost. She is a friend of the Divine Couple, Sri Sri Radha Krishna. Her age is 14 years, 8 months and 27 days. She is the oldest of Krishna's gopi friends. Lalita resides in Yavat and is famous as Radha's constant companion. She is the personification of Khandita Bhava and the leader of the parama-prema sakis. Her kunja, the color of lightning, is the largest and is situated on the North side of Vrindavan. The personified seasons take eternally personal care of the kunja. Shaped like an 8 petal lotus, it expands and contracts when needed. Lalitadevi instructs and directs all the sakis and is an expert in the tactics of union and separation in the matter of prema. Lalitadevi is known for her contradictory and hot tempered nature (vama-prakhara). Her complexion is the color of gorocana (bright yellow pigment prepared from the urine of a cow) and her garments are the brilliant colors of peacock tail feathers. radha-mukunda-pada-sambhava-gharma-bindu nirmanchanopakarani-krta-deha-laksam uttunga-sauhrda-visesa-vasat pragalbham devim gunaih sulalitam lalitam namami raka-sudha-kirana-mandala-kanti-dandi vaktra-sriyam cakita-caru-camuru-netram radha-prasadhana-vidhana-kala-prasiddham devim gunaih sulalitam lalitam namami lasyollasad-bhujaga-satru-patatra-citra pattamsukabharana-kanculikancitangim gorocana-ruci-vigarhana-gaurimanam devim gunaih sulalitam lalitam namami dhurte vrajendra-tanaye tanu susthu-vamyam ma daksina bhava kalankini laghavaya radhe giram srnu hitam iti siksayantim devim gunaih sulalitam lalitam namami radham abhi vraja-pateh krtam atmajena kutam manag api vilokya vilohitaksim vag-bhangibhis tam acirena vilajjayantim devim gunaih sulalitam namami vatsalya-vrnda-vasatim pasupala-rajnyah sakhyanusiksana-kalasu gurum sakhinam radha-balavaraja-jivita-nirvisesam devim gunaih sulalitam lalitam namami yam kam api vraja-kule vrsabhanu-jayah preksya sva-paksa-padavim anurudhyamanam sadyas tad-ista-ghatanena krtarthayantim devim gunaih sulalitam lalitam namami radha-vrajendra-suta-sangama-ranga-caryam varyam viniscitavatim akhilotsavebhyah tam gokula-priya-sakhi-nikuramba-mukhyam devim gunaih sulalitam lalitam namami #Lalitashtakam #lalita #lalitashasti ＬＩＫＥ | ＣＯＭＭＥＮＴ | ＳＨＡＲＥ | ＳＵＢＳＣＲＩＢＥ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ** Website : https://ift.tt/1oJekp9 ** Facebook : https://ift.tt/2iTcKJw ** Twitter : https://twitter.com/idtsevaks ** Soundcloud : https://ift.tt/2jNc3A3 ** Donate : https://ift.tt/2tqvoKG __ ISKCON Desire Tree started in year 2002 ,With purpose of spreading Krishna Consciousness movement Worldwide which is now grown as online community devoted to give a warm and friendly environment for all people interested in spirituality, compassion, meditation and wisdom.
