Significance Of Lalita Saptami 2024

Lalita Saptami is of great religious importance in Hinduism, as it is devoted to Radha Rani's most beloved Gopi. She was Radha Rani's closest and most cherished friend. She was the oldest of them all. She arrived on earth 14 years, eight months, and twenty days prior to Radha Rani's birth. Lalita Saptami is observed in honour of the birth of Lalita Devi. She is recognised as one of Radha Rani's Ashta Sakhis. She was recognised as the most faithful companion of Radha Ji as well.

Lalita Devi had 68 tirthas, or holy places, for liberating people from the six types of hatya, or killings: go-hatya (killing cows), krimi-hatya (consuming worms and insects), svana-hatya (eating dogs),rahma-hatya (harming brahmins), and atma-hatya (suicide).

It is thought that Krishna visited the temple tank Lalita Kunda to seek forgiveness for the sin of go-hatya, which he committed by defeating the demon Arista in the form of a bull.
