The infinite cannot be caged into the words but the words can direct our perception towards the infinite. This simple logic had been exhaustively utilised by the ancient seers in developing the many wisdom paths. The way of the Sahasranāma is an epitome of this logic. Sahasranāma means thousand names. In its true sense, it is a set of thousand pointers to the inquiring self which points towards the mother Omnipresence. Thus, Lalitā Sahasranāma is a set of thousand pointers in the direction of self-realisation. This book series, Lalitā Priyadīpikā is a commentary on each of the aforementioned pointers. Priya means sweet and Dīpikā means that which sheds light, a lamp. Thus, the present book series is aimed at shedding light onto the thousand names of Lalitā. The present volume, Vol.1, covers an in depth exploration of the first 111 names of Lalitā Sahasranāma.

Formally, I pursued my masters in Physics from IIT Madras and I am presently a doctoral candidate (Ireland) in the field of laser and matter interactions. Since childhood, I have been passionate about the nature of creation. I found my thirst quenched in two fields discovered by humanity: Physics and Spirituality. Along with physics, I have invested my time in understanding scriptures of the ancient lore. I am highly passionate about writing and teaching in the aforementioned fields.
