Sree Lalita Sahasranamam - 25th Name with 16 letters - Shudda Vidyankuraakaara Dwijapankti DwaiYojValaa - Part-1

In Sanskrit there are 51 letters but the holy Sree Lalita Sahasranamas use only 32 of the 51 letters. This name explains the significance of the 32 letters, represented by the 32 teeth of Mother Goddess Lalita, 16 on the upper and 16 on the lower jaw. This name helps the soul's spiritual germination leading towards the Sree Vidya Mantra deeksha from a capable guru.  It is very difficult to see a picture of mother goddess with her lips open revealing the teeth(but for Kali and some other furious forms of Bhairavi - which are punishing the bad or killing the evil).  Using this name and chanting this name repeatedly a devotee will be able to see mother's sparkling teeth in meditation -it's a bliss beyond explanation !
