#Lalita Sasti is the appearance day of Sri Lalita Devi.<\/span><\/p>\n Lalita is one of the principal eight sakhis of Srimati Radharani in Vrindavan. It means \u201cplayful and charming\u201d. Srimati Radharani is also called as Lalita\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n She is a very dear friend of Radha-Krsna. Lalita-sakhi and her assistants incarnate from time to time in the material realm to propogate the topmost mood of serving Radha-Krsna, namely to become a maid-servant of Srimati Radharani.<\/span> Lalita-sakhi incarnated as Svarupa Damodara in the pastimes of Lord Gauranga Mahaprabhu and acted as his personal secretary. \u201cSri Svarupa Damodara was the personification of ecstatic love, fully cognizant of the highest transcendental mellows in relationship with Lord Krsna. He directly represented Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu as His second expansion. In fact, no one could approach or present anything to Gauranga Mahaprabhu without his sanction. If someone wrote a book or composed verses and songs and wanted to recite them before Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Svarupa Damodara would first examine them and then correctly present them. Only then would Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu agree to listen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \nInformation of Lalita Devi :<\/span> Characteristics of Lalita Devi :<\/span> #Lalita Sasti is the appearance day of Sri Lalita Devi.
