Lalita Sahasranama - Importance and Benefits


Lalita Sahasranama refers to the 1000 names of the Divine Mother.
( Sahasra = 1000 ; nama = names )


 Video above: Lalita Sahasranama recitation by my online student, Rezzan Azar from Turkey,

Lalita Sahasranamam is an important Shakta hymn.


This Sahasranama occurs as a conversation between Lord Hayagriva (a form of Lord Vishnu with a horse head; some Vaishnavites infer it to be a Sage with a mutual name ) and Sage Agastya in the Brahmanda Purana. Sage Agastya was initiated into these 1000 names by Lord Hayagriva.

There are 84 Shlokas ( verses ) in the Brahmanda Purana which speak about the benefits of reciting Lalita Sahasranamam, as expounded by Lord Hayagriva.


Lord Hayagriva

Today, we have access to Lalita Sahasranamam only because Veda Vyasa ( the compiler of Vedas ) propagated and conveyed it to humanity.  



Benefits of Chanting Lalita Sahasranamam - As explained by Lord Hayagriva Himself


It has to be noted that true recitation consists of selfless devotion to Divine Mother





All diseases will vanish and long life is assured to one who recites it on a full moon day

Reciter gets the benefit of taking 1 crore baths in the Ganges.

One gets the benefit of establishing 1 crore Shiva Lingas.

One gets the benefit of feeding 1 crore Brahmins during a time of famine.


One gets the benefit of teaching 1 crore students.

Fever shall vanish if you touch your head and recite these 1000 names.

Should one touch the holy ash, and chant these 1000 names and apply them, all diseases shall vanish. 


To escape planetary affects ( Graha dosha, Shani dosha, Kala Sarpa dosha, etc ), one can store water in a pot, chant the 1000 names, and finally sprinkle the energized water on himself.

For the blessing of a son, a lady can chant these 1000 names and offer butter to the Divine Mother ( Cure for subfertility or infertility )


Face the palace and recite these 1000 names to impress a king or minister. The royal authority would approach you and ask about your needs.

A reciter of Lalita Sahasranamam cannot be affected by black magic. Lord Hayagriva reveals that Pratyangira Devi will protect those who recite these 1000 names.

Dikpaalakas ( Guardians of Direction ) will help one who recites these names.


If you read this daily for 6 months,  Lakshmi Devi will permanently reside in your house.

If you read it daily for a month or at least 3 weeks, Goddess Sarasvati will manifest in your speech.


A person of middle age who suddenly gets to know of this sahasranama and starts adhering to its recitation will have his sins pardoned.

Wild animals will not harm the reciter

The reciter will have a positive ambience around him which will be pleasant to the people surrounding him

Regular chanting of Shri Lalita Sahasranama is as beneficial as visiting religious places, taking bath in a holy river, and offering food and materials. 



Regular chanting of Shri Lalita Sahasranama will ward off backpulls from incomplete prayers or rituals.It will also form a way of penance.

Regular chanting of Shri Lalita Sahasranama will prevent premature death and provide a long and contended healthy life. Fever can be cured by religiously chanting Sree Lalita Sahasranamam by touching a person's forehead.The vibhuti used for Shri Lalita Sahasranama archana can be applied on the forehead, which will give much relief to fever and headache.



It is said that if a person chants Shri Lalita Sahasranama keeping in mind a picture of Shri Lalita Devi presiding in the milky ocean - ksheera samudra which contains `Amrita ( divine nectar )', he will be cured of any kind of disease related to poison.

It is said that if a person consumes ghee, which is kept while chanting Shri Lalita Sahasranamam, he will be cured of impotency and will have children.


Through the regular chanting of Shri Lalita Sahasranamam, the atmosphere will be purified. Divinity will be awakened in a person.


Shri Lalita Devi will protect a person who regularly chants Shree Lalita Sahasranamam from accidents and from the attack of enemies and will make him victorious.




Regular chanting of Shri Lalita Sahasranamam will make a person blessed with word power, fame, good will etc. Particular importance should be given to chant Shri Lalita Sahasranamam on Fridays 

It is very beneficial if all members of the family unite and chant this sahasranamam in unison.It brings about unity and peace in family.

  1. Is listening to this is as equal to chanting? I find it difficult to chant. Mispronunciation is the major cause.

    1. She is the supreme goddess of the universe and only she can decide when/if she can make you rich. One cannot say "chanting these many times" will give you her blessings. The karmic account is also looked at before she decides to grant anyone anything.

  16. Namaste,

    I have prayed to Matha Lalithambika by chanting Lalitha Sahasranama during my times of postpartum depression and stress. But, on one occasion, due to some family issue, i burst out in anger and sorrow. This my in laws believed that is due to my chanting Lalitha Sahasranama. I couldn't bear this. They keep telling me that chanting LS is not good for their family and all their grandparents & Great grandparents have tried to chant but obstructed with various reasons. (once their grandfather cut off his fingers while cutting vegetables, which they believed was due to chanting LS). MY in laws family are strenuous believer and reader of Vishnu Sahasranama, but are not ready to accept LS or allowing me to read. Please help me out. Is there anything like one particular God will not be good for a family? I am confused and surprised. My maternal family reads all slokas including VS and LS.

    1. This is utter stupidity.. and a very great insult to Lalitha Devi...

      Please continue chanting with devotion to Devi.

      There is a possibility that your in laws are strict vaishnavites..endowed with fanaticism and this may be an excuse to drag you away from Shakti Worship ...

    2. Some times I also had this wrong fear, which I feel is wrong, Mother can never do wrong to children. Yes, it may be true as per Kul Parampara, ones family chants Sri Vishnu Sahastranaam. One can chant both as She is Padmanaabhsahodri and Govindroopini and Vishnuroopini, Vaishnavi, Narayani, Vishnumaya. Anything done with Aart Bhava and Shraddha cant do any wrong. Yes, sometimes passing through our Karma can worry us, but have faith on lotus feet of Mother and our maternal uncle Lord Shri Hari.

    1. @vinnith -> Thank you so much for sharing such profound knowledge and the essence of a deep yet most powerful secret so beautifully.

      To the unknown writer who works for a top EU bank --> My intuition says that perhaps it's a calling and you should do it.Nothing is as strong and powerful as much as your own deep gut feelings & instincts.One must be extremely fortunate to even have a chance to read / listen or know about Lalitha Sahasranama.

      So if seems to push you it really must be that divine spiritual part of your life where you are going to experience tremendous changes.Especillay now during Navarathri if this push is calling in --> You have to listen to it.

      Thank you once again for a lovely post Vinnith

  20. a few years back ) came to my bed, sat next to me and touched me to wake up. The dream was so real as if someone actually sat next to me, I woke up and just checked my watch and realized it was 5:30 a.m.I was up and awake right at the very minute when I desired to wake up. Later on, I realized it was the Amma herself who visited me. This is just a very small incident from very many, so this stothram is very intense and so much profound like mothers love. One would feel so protected, cared for, nurtured and above all one gains so much Shraddha. Above a ll of this , I had a dream that my mom ( who passed a few years back ) came to my bed, sat next to me and touched me to wake up. The dream was so real as if someone actually sat next to me, I woke up and just checked my watch and realized it was 5:30 a.m.I was up and awake right at the very minute when I desired to wake up. Later on, I realized it was the Amma herself who visited me. This is just a very small incident from very many, so this stothram is very intense and so much profound like mothers love. One would feel so protected, cared for, nurtured and above all one gains so much Shraddha. Above all of this read it, chant along slowly, keep listening, slowly would get there.Do it with all your love & faith it would be heard.

    Warm Regards ,
    Sharmi 😊
