The hymn, Sri Lalitambika-Sahasra-nama-Stotra, forms a part of the instructions Bhagawan Hayagriva communicated to Maharshi Agastya. The hymn is given in the Brahmanda-puruna and is used in the ceremony honoring Sri Vidya and as an independent spiritual practice for attaining the four objectives of human life. If Sri Lalitambika-Sahasra-nama-Stotra recitation and the Sri Lalita-sahasranamavalih worship are performed, then the ceremony honoring Sri Vidya is effective and the rewards include curing all diseases and increasing all wealth, but the main purpose is the attainment of beatitude. Sri Lalita-sahasranamavalih is the list of 1000 names from the Lalita-sahasranama, describing her various forms, aspects and functions. It is in honor of the Goddess Lalita Ambika. Lalita means the playful one. Her play is creation and the functions of the universal energy. Ambika means the mother, the one who sustains. This text depicts the external and internal beauty of Lalita. As one starts internalizing the process, one begins to see the beauty within oneself and then the entire external world becomes beautiful as well. The Sahasranama also talks about the Goddess in the form of Sri Chakra or Sri Vidya and as Kundalini, the energy within.

"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."

India is the mysterious land chosen as her own by Kundalini, The Mother of the Universe. What we read in old histories and Holy Bibles, and the records, can be seen there today. In India there are Yogis who perform such marvelous feats that Doctors, Scientists and Chemists are unable to solve them, and I may say, are unable to understand them. For instance, such feats, as lying down upon blazing logs of fire; walking over red hot fire that has been especially prepared by burning ten tons of wood, twenty men walked over this without a burn - not even a hair on their feet; also feats of levitation, walking on water, etc., equally as astonishing. Yogi Haridas, at Lahore, willingly permitted himself to be buried alive for forty days under fifteen feet of earth. After that length of time, he was taken out as normal as ever. Such as that, and standing on one leg for years; head buried in the earth with both legs up in the air for days; living without food for forty years, these and many other things can be seen in India today. Any one wishing to read further about this may obtain the author's booklet entitled: "Marvelous feats performed by Yogis through Yoga." I have received many letters asking: "How can that be done?" The answer is, they always do this through the Kundalini (The Divine Mother) by awakening her from her sleep, for then any one can have supernatural power - this is her gift with unfoldment. "Kundalini the Giver of Health"; "Kundalini the Giver of Wealth"; "Kundalini the Giver of Joy and Happiness"; "Kundalini the Giver of Faith"; "Kundalini the Giver of Bliss, Life, and Powers." By awakening her, seeming miracles can be performed by men and women. The resurrection came as a living faith; see "The Great Masters of the Himalayas" - by the author. The Kundalini is always back of all powers and feats of seeming miracles. She is the All in All. Swami Vivekananda says: "Whenever there is any manifestation of what is ordinarily called supernatural power or wisdom, there must have been a little (control over the) current of Kundalini which found its way into the Sushumna. Only, in the vast majority of such cases of supernaturalism, they ignorantly stumble on some practice which set free, (and made them conscious of) a minute portion, (of the control) of the coiled up Kundalini." The Kundalini (Divine Mother), always keeps for herself a chosen country, in which her higher wisdom is preserved from all dangers. That land is India. When she wanted to see the play of helplessness, weakness and ignorance of the world, she chose that land. When the Kundalini again wants to raise up from ignorance to Mighty Wisdom, and a Blissful state, she chooses India again, for the purpose of raising India once more to the highest of Pure Wisdom. In ages past the greatest Avatars, of India - Sri Rama Chandar, Ram Sri, Sri Krishna, King Janak, Guru, Buddha and countless others. The present day we have Saint Mahatma Gandhi. Why does the Kundalini choose India? To perfect her being and for the purpose of perfecting harmony. That only can save the world from misery of selfishness and hate. Only India can find harmony. That harmony is by change of heart. Such change and harmony comes by Yoga. Yoga can and will change the mind, heart, and action; this change is from within; not from without. Not by politics nor by creeds but by the realization of the Goddess Kundalini, remodeling life by pure Wisdom - not by knowledge. This Divine Harmony is not alone for suffering humanity, but for even the smallest insects, animals, etc. That change of heart, that Blessed Harmony, the son of Mother India, Mahatma Gandhi, has shown the world.
