Mahakali Swaroopini Seetha Sahasranaama by Lord Sri Ram [Adbhut Ramayan]

Mass Chanting/Singing held on 21.7.2014 at Shimoga (Karnataka)

“Adbhut Ramayan” by Sage Valmiki, inter-alia, contains the Mahakali Swaroopini Seetha Sahasranaama, sung by none other than Lord Sri Ram Himself to appease and calm down Seetha who had taken the ferocious, terrifying, breath-taking and vicious form of Devi Mahakali to slain the 1000 headed Ravana of Pushkara island. The singing of these auspicious Slokas (stanzas) fulfils all the aspirations of the devotee besides leading him to the final abode of the Almighty Himself.

These Slokas were culled out from Adbhut Ramayan text and printed in a small book-let form to facilitate easy chanting/singing by the devotees. The chanting/singing of this Seetha Sahasranaama by a group of around 60 women  was organized in the residence of Kavi Suresh and family in Shimoga on 21^st July 2014 followed by a ritualistic worship of a beautiful idol of Devi Seetha [The programme was conceived and organised by Smt.Renuka Kavi Suresh]. *Perhaps this is the first time in the whole of India that this Seetha Sahasranaama has been initiated for regular chanting/singing, also known as “Paaraayana”.  This has become quite popular especially among women in this part and many of them have started its group Paaraayana in Shimoga, Hassan and Chimagalur districts of Karnataka.

I should acknowledge with gratitude my gratefulness to Sri Ajai Kumar Chawchharia of Ayodhya, whose book, “Adbhut Ramayan by Sage Valmiki”, I had the privilege of translating it to Kannada; these Slokas have been culled from that edition. He has been the main spirit and inspiration behind all these works. I salute him and through him Lord Sri Ram and Devi Seetha Maatha for involving me as an instrument in this holy endeavour.
