Mā Amba Lalithā Devī — Stotra and Devi Prayer
Mahātripurasundarī, also known as Rājarājēśvarī, Mahāṣoḍaśī, and Lalitā, is the primary goddess of Śrī Vidyā. Lalitā is a revered name of Goddess, worshipped as a principal aspect of the supreme Mahādevī — venerated in Śāktism, the goddess-oriented current of the Dharmic traditions. She is praised in many Śākta texts, with the Lalitā Śrī Lalitā Sahasranāma (1000 Names of Lalitā) and the Śrī Saundarya Laharī (The Waves of Beauty) being the most celebrated. In the Lalitopākhyāna of the Brahmāṇḍa Purāṇa, she is known as Ādi Parāśakti. The Tripura Upaniṣad places her as the ultimate Śakti of the universe — supreme consciousness, ruling from above Brahmā, Viṣṇu, and Śiva.

Sarva Maṅgala Māṅgalye Śive Sarvārtha Sādhike — Śaraṇye Tryambake Devī Nārāyaṇī Namostute
The Goodness Herself, the essence of all that is good, not different from Śiva, giver of Perfection — Refuge, Three-eyed Devī who abides in every being, I adore Thee! Om, Peace, Peace, Peace.
The Divine Mother is everywhere. She is in everything. She is the Divine Essence that lives within all beings. Her domain is the field of life, for she gives to all beings the sustenance that is needed for life. Her beauty lives in the natural world, and spans the universes in all their splendour.
She has been called by many names, for all traditions recognise Her. Into each consciousness the knowledge is given of the sacredness of life. This sacredness IS the Mother.
She is the holy generator of the physical world, joined to the heart and soul of every living thing. All of the Earth is one with Her. All beings of the Earth owe their life to Her, for she is the Mother of all — the One who bestows all gifts of life.
It is the Mother that creates this evolving, this unfolding journey, for she is the fabric of Time itself, the means by which all things grow. She is the template for life that exists within Her — the substance and form of all that shall ever come to be.
— Julie Redstone
