veera

veera=one full of valour.,vigour,couragious.

parvathi performed severe penance to gain siva's grace.siva himself is an eternal yogi.parvati meditated amidst fires in summer.in the icy wilderness of himalayas,in winter.under open skies in heavy downpour;uma continued her severe tapas for many seasons.she fasted.she never slept.just her desire to become sivaa kept her alive.thus she herself is a veera.
in her avatars as mahishasura mardini ,kali,chandi,varaahi she displays unparelled valour.
this nama qualifies her as 'veeraa'.

sadhana/contemplation:The turlmoils,questions on trials and tribulations,seeming unfairness of life,inner restlessness-are all personified as the extremes of the weather ..veera...be one,she herself paves the way.just take her name.

veera maata;veera goshtee priya

veera maata=mother of ganapati,the obstacle remover;
veera goshtee priya=determined sadhakas' over come hurdles. they, then based on their personal experience, perfect certain methods for the conquest of the mind.the reflections of such greatones as sri adi sankaracharya,seers of vedas, sri ramakrishna paramahamsa,sri ramana maharshi,sri paramahamsa yogananda,are all ''veera goshti's''.sri lalita is priya[lover]of such veera goshti's.in other words where ever the sayings of the above said are recited,remembered or reflected upon she presides such gatherings as she is veera goshti priya.she also is present in the goshtis of brahma,vishnu and maheswara.

veeraradhya;veeragoshti priya

veeraradhya=[lalita] worshipped by veera's;veera=brave one;it also means those who worship her become brave hearted;its not empty bravado.but backed by wisdom and winning ways;a capable strategist her worshipper becomes.

veeragoshti priya=veera;goshti=group,also a groupdiscussion.priya=lover;
veeragoshti priya is one who loves discussions regarding brave acts,deeds, thoughts,transformation of a brave thought into action.
a devotee faces many hurdles-from within himself,laziness to do the needed practices or procrastination or lack of dicipline to control ones' wandering mind ;from without-in the form of situations on which he has no control,like an earthquake or a devastating storm;and in the form of situations on which he has no immediate control but can be controlled with will and determination,like an unwanted phone call, noisy disturbances in the neighbourhood;uncoperative family etc;
when a devotee over comes all these hurdles, with the able guidance of a sathguru,he finds himself in the company of divine souls though he doesnot explicitly plan for it. thats the manifestation of
"veeragoshti priya''.so when a devotee becomes a 'veera' she[lalita devi] becomes a ''veeragoshti priya''.
