Samata - Samata: An Exposition of Similarities in Lalita Sahasranama with Soundaryalaharee, Saptashatree, Visnu Sahasranama and Shreemad Bhagavad Geeta
There are lot of Puranas and Stotras about every God/ Goddess in Hindu religion. This provides liberty to the devotees to imagine the God/ Goddess in the form of His/her choice. However, when these Puranas and Stotras are studied in depth it is very clear that they all convey the same sense.In one place it is Narayana and in another place it is Narayani. Somewhere it is as Ardhanarishvara- ie. He left half of Sankara is Sridevi and in another place he is Sankaranarayanan- i.e. Narayana sharing the vody-left half with Lord /sankara. Logically this clearly implies that both Shreedevee and Narayana are one and the same.
Likewise there are lots of similarities between Stotras about different Gods/ Goddesses. It may not be a surprise that Lalita Sahsranama has similarities with Soundaryalahari and Saptashati, because all the three are about Sridevi. But how about Visnu Sahasranama and Srimad Bhagavad Gita. Primarily they are supposed to talk about Lord Visnu, but still they also talk the same language- about Sridevi.
Hence it can be concluded that there is only one God. Whichever form of God we worship we are in the path to libration. Devotees can imagine the form of that God in the way they like and worship.
Let Sridevi shower her choicest blessing on the readers.
