"Indisputably, Gayatri* is the greatest Mantra in the Vedas. It has been claimed that it is the quintessence of Vedas. The Mantra: ॐ (भूर्भुवहसुवह) तत् सवितुर्वरेण्यं भर्गो देवस्य धीमहि धियो यो नः प्रचोदयात्॥ The Mantra means that that there are three layers of existence and in all the layers, that sun Brahman (universal Consciousness) provides its effulgence. We focus our awareness towards that wisdom. We are ordained to repeat this Mantra on every spiritual occasion so that we do not lose sight of the fact even for a moment. In Bhu and Bhuvar Loka (layers) thought predominates pushing awareness to back-seat. Bhu is earth where we belong and Bhuvar Loka is the world of imagination that tethers us to Bhu (Loka). At Suvar Loka (layer), thought dissipates allowing unobstructed freedom of awareness. Predominance of thought implies duality (dvaita) as "I" am different from the world at large. As a consequence, thought creates a virtual reality common to all beings. We know no other reality. When a spiritual aspirant transcends thought, he graduates into a world of awareness where true reality is revealed. Space and time cease. That is the world of Lalitambika (Advaita). Most of the thousand names (Lalita Sahasranama) are relevant to a devotee who has transcended Bhu and Bhuvar Loka (layers) and set his focus on Suvar Loka with assistance from Lalitambika."

Lalitha Sahasra Nama (Thousand Names of Goddess Lalitha) are chanted everyday by the devotees of Divine Mother. There are the most prominent among all the hymns of Devi (God in the form of Mother). Though these names have many hidden meanings, they are basically Tantric in nature, because the sadhana of Sakti (God as energy) is the key factor Tantras. However there are many verses in this hymn that praise the Para Brahman (Supreme One God) of Vedas. The hidden secrets of many disciplines like Astrology, Vedanta, Yoga and Tantra are explained in this book at respective places while commenting on the hidden meanings of these names. There is no such commentary on these verses in recent times which reveals as much as this book does, It is hoped that this book will motivate the readers who are in the path of sadhana to move ahead towards realization of their spiritual practice.

Our routine, in a day's activities, unfailingly included the Paaraayana of Vishnu Sahashranaamam and Lalitha Sahasranaamam. A question to our own selves arose that a practice of routine Paaraayanam alone is not the End but only a Start of the QUEST in us to explore deeper into the contents and profoundness of the meaning of the Sahashra Naama on Maa Lalithambika. Sri Chakra and its geometrical portrayal, is a marvel, a well calculated scaling of the Yanthraya that can create wonders in a man's mystical thinking, if only focused with a pointed mind. It was during the Navratri Dussehra Celebrations 2021, we decided to make a humble attempt of describing 1000 Naamaas of Divine Maatha Sri Lalithambika in English exclusively for the benefit of the descendants, at least, to have the basic idea about the marvels of these Naamaas as chosen by the Vaag Devathaas. A pride and ignorance in us, that we could complete it in a short time, prevailed at the start and the budding of this attempt. We exercised meticulous care in collecting the information from various sources suited to the Naamaas and exercised care in remaining as Authentic as far as the possibilities took us along. This booklet contains only a miniscule understanding of the Vast Subject after we have set in our journey in the Philosophical and Vedantic studies at our convenience taking sources from all that are available to us and we are exposed to.

Sri Ramakrishna is regarded variously as a saint, sage, spiritual leader, world teacher, prophet, Avatara of the present age and so on. Finding these terms unsatisfactory, the noted British author Christopher Isherwood described Sri Ramakrishna as a “phenomenon”. The present book published by Advaita Ashrama, a publication house of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, India, is a modest attempt to understand that phenomenon in the context of world thought currents and in the light of authentic sources. According to Swami Vivekananda, “With the birth of Sri Ramakrishna the Golden Age has begun.” But today, such an assertion may appear preposterous, with no sign of such a beginning visible. Who was Sri Ramakrishna? What was the purpose of his advent? What is the true dimension of his personality? Was he an Avatara? What is the role of an Avatara? Devotees, followers, and admirers of Sri Ramakrishna encounter these questions at some juncture of their life's journey. And in answer to these questions lies the opening to the realm of an ineffable “Light”, which is the “Light of the Modern World”.
