Introduction
Shri Lalita Trishati Stotram (literally meaning "The Three Hundred Names of Goddess Lalita") is the secret crown jewel of Srividya Upasana, found in the Lalitopakhyana of the Brahmanda Purana. It was revealed by Lord Hayagriva to Maharshi Agastya.
What makes the Lalita Trishati uniquely sacred is that its 300 names are directly built upon the Panchadasakshari Mantra (the 15-syllable mantra of Srividya: Ka E Ī La Hrīṃ | Ha Sa Ka Ha La Hrīṃ | Sa Ka La Hrīṃ). Exactly 20 secret divine names are provided for each of the 15 syllables!
Reciting the Lalita Trishati grants the supreme spiritual fruit of performing Srichakra Navavarana Archana, awakening Kundalini energy, and bestowing Atma-Jnana (Self-realization).
