Before the thousand names were spoken, there was a story.

The sage Agastya, troubled by the suffering in the world, travels to Kanchi seeking guidance. Lord Vishnu, appearing as the horse-faced teacher Hayagriva, tells him the story of Lalitha, the burning of Kama, the rise of the demon Bhanda, the gods’ great sacrifice, and the miraculous appearance of the Divine Mother from a radiant wheel of light to restore balance to the worlds.

Sri Lalitha Sahasranama: The Thousand Radiances of the Divine Mother is a story-led listening edition of one of Hinduism’s most beloved hymns, created for those who wish to hear the Sahasranama while understanding its meaning.
