Lalita Sasti by Shyamagopika dd



PLANET ISKCON

Lalita Sasti

Today is Lalita Sasti, the divine appearance day of Lalita Sakhi. She is Srimati Radharani’s constant companion and follower. Of the eight sakhis (main gopis) Lalita Devi is the main sakhi. She is the leader of the eight main gopis. Please take darshan of Lalita Sakhi on her auspicious appearance day in Mayapur. She has been offered special lotus garlands and decorated with beautiful paintings on her face. Lalita sakhi is a dear friend of Srimati Radharani. She has a contradictory and hot-tempered nature. Her complexion is bright yellow. Her garments are the color of peacock feathers. She is expert at arranging both the meeting of Radha and Krishna and their conjugal fights. Her mother is Saradi Devi and her father is Vishoka. Her husband is Bhairava, who is a close friend of Govardhana Malla, the husband of Candravali.





  • Sri Lalita-Astakam
    composed by Srila Rupa Gosvami.


  • Radha-mukunda-pada-sambhava-gharma-bindu
    nirmanchanopakarani-krta-deha-laksam
    uttunga-sauhrda-visesa-vasat pragalbham
    devim gunaih sulalitam lalitam namami

    I offer pranama unto Sri Lalita-devi who is charmingly endowed with many beautiful, sweet qualities (sulalita). She has natural expertise in all arts (lalita), thus her seva self-manifests. She wipes away the glittering drops of perspiration which appear upon the lotus feet of Sri Radha and Madhava when They meet; and she is perpetually immersed in the most elevated mellow of sauhrda-rasa, or undivided absorption in fulfilling the heart’s desire of her intimate friend Srimati Radhika.

    vaktra-sriyam cakita-caru-camuru-netram
    radha-prasadhana-vidhana-kala-prasiddham
    devim gunaih sulalitam lalitam namami

    I offer pranama unto Sri Lalita-devi whose beautiful face mocks the brilliance of the full moon, whose eyes are ever-restless like those of a startled doe, who is famous for her extraordinary expertise in the art of dressing Srimati Radhika, and who is the treasure-house of unlimited feminine qualities.

    lasyollasad-bhujaga-satru-patatra-citra
    pattamsukabharana-kanculikancitangim
    gorocana-ruci-vigarhana-gaurimanam
    devim gunaih sulalitam lalitam namami

    I offer pranama unto Sri Lalita-devi whose body is adorned with a splendid sari as brilliant as the multi-colored tail-feathers of an ecstatically dancing peacock, whose breast is covered with an exceedingly attractive blouse (kanculi), whose hair part is decorated with shimmering red vermilion, and who wears various necklaces and other jeweled ornaments. Her golden complexion defeats that of even gorocana and she possesses innumerable good qualities.
    dhurte vrajendra-tanaye tanu susthu-vamyam
    ma daksina bhava kalankini laghavaya
    radhe giram srnu hitam iti siksayantim
    devim gunaih sulalitam lalitam namami

    I offer pranama unto Sri Lalita-devi, the charming treasure-house of all good qualities, who instructs Srimati Radhika in this way: “O Radhe! Listen to my good instructions which are favorable for you! Vrajendra-nandana is very crafty (dhurta). Don’t display Your mood of gentle submission (daksina bhava) to Him; instead, in all circumstances be contrary.
    radham abhi vraja-pateh krtam atmajena
    kutam manag api vilokya vilohitaksim
    vag-bhangibhis tam acirena vilajjayantim
    devim gunaih sulalitam namami

    I offer pranama unto the abode of all good qualities, the supremely charming Sri Lalita-devi, who, upon hearing Sri Krsna speak even a few sly words to Srimati Radhika, immediately becomes furious and shames Krsna with her biting, sarcastic remarks, “You are so truthful and simple-hearted, and such a chaste lover!”

    vatsalya-vrnda-vasatim pasupala-rajnyah
    sakhyanusiksana-kalasu gurum sakhinam
    radha-balavaraja-jivita-nirvisesam
    devim gunaih sulalitam lalitam namami

    I offer pranama unto the supremely charming Sri Lalita-devi, who possesses all divine qualities; who is also the recipient of Yasoda-devi’s parental affection; the guru of all the sakhis, instructing them in the art of friendship; and the very life of both Srimati Radhika and the younger brother of Baladeva.
    yam kam api vraja-kule vrsabhanu-jayah
    preksya sva-paksa-padavim anurudhyamanam
    sadyas tad-ista-ghatanena krtarthayantim
    devim gunaih sulalitam lalitam namami

    I offer pranama unto the supremely charming Sri Lalita-devi, the treasure house of all good qualities. Upon seeing any young maiden anywhere in Vraja and discerning that she is inclined towards her priya-sakhi Srimati Radhika, Lalita immediately tells Radha that She must accept this person in Her own party (svapaksa). Radha obeys Lalita, who thus fulfills that maiden’s desires.
    radha-vrajendra-suta-sangama-ranga-caryam
    varyam viniscitavatim akhilotsavebhyah
    tam gokula-priya-sakhi-nikuramba-mukhyam
    devim gunaih sulalitam lalitam namami

    I offer pranama unto Sri Lalita-devi, the embodiment of all divine virtues and the foremost of all the favorite sakhis of Gokula. Her primary task is providing pleasure for Sri Radha-Govinda by arranging Their meetings - this delightful seva surpasses the enjoyment of all the best festivals combined together.
    nandann amuni lalita-guna-lalitani
    padyani yah pathati nirmala-drstir astau
    pritya vikarsati janam nija-vrnda-madhye
    tam kirtida-pati-kulojjvala-kalpa-valli

    If a person with a cheerful and pure heart recites this astakam in praise of Lalita-devi, he will be affectionately brought into Srimati Radhika’s own group of sakhis. Lalita-devi is superbly ornamented with beauty, grace and charm, and, along with Srimati Radhika, is the effulgent wish-fulfilling creeper (kalpa-valli) of Vrsabhanu Maharaja’s family that winds around the kalpa-vrksa of Krsna. Srimati Lalita-devi is the wish-fulfilling tree of the prema-seva (service in love) of Sri Sri Radha and Krsna. Whoever chants this Lalita-astakam will make Radha and Krsna happy.
    Srimati Lalita Sakhi Ki Jai!
