Lalita Stava Ratnam Audio mp3

Lalita Stava Ratnam is quite a complicated treatise written by Sage Durvasa. This is a detailed description of the structure of the Sri Chakra yantra in the form of Maha Meru. The inspiration to recite this phenomenal stotram came about from reading an article that dealt with an upanyasam of Sri Kanchi Maha Periyava, wherein He had praised the Lalita Stava Ratnam, which also goes by the name of Arya Dvishathi, as it comprises of 214 verses. As one listens to or recites Lalita Stava Ratnam, one can envision Goddess Lalita Maha Tripura Sundari and All of the associated Devis and Yoginis of the Sri Chakra.

This is a complicated set of mantras; during recitation, some errors were found in the original first printed source given below; hence comparisons were made with the second printed source given below; inspite of this, it is believed there are a couple of printing errors.

This is a long hymn. The key in the recitation is to know where the break points in the lines are and the intonations as to where to go high and low on the recitation so it sounds nice. The audio skips through the nyaasams in the beginning and goes straight to the hymn. Because of age, you can find the voice becoming somewhat weaker towards the end of the recital.

And now the audio: about 1 hour long.
