Lalitamba is a bold and innovative collection of writings to liberate consciousness. The name for the journal was inspired by a bhajan sung nightly on a pilgrimage through India with Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi. It is a name for the Goddess.

In the Sri Lalita Sahasranama, the Goddess is also named as She who dwells in a home built of gemstone that fulfills all wishes. The wish-fulfilling gem is called cintamani. In a poetic sense, we hope that the journal may be thought of as cintamani, fulfilling all wishes by opening us to realization of Truth.

From page to page, you’ll find writings of saints, wanderers, prison inmates, and award-winning novelists. These are the mystics of our time. They challenge us to live and to love without hesitation.

Discover Lalitamba on www.amazon.com or in your local bookstore. Further information is available at http://www.newpages.com/literary-magazines/lalitamba.htm.
