History

Established in 2004.

LALITAMBA was inspired by a pilgrimage through India. In early 2004, we traveled from village to village, seeking to alleviate the sorrows that come with poverty, illness, and plain loss of hope. The name of the journal was inspired by a devotional song sung in the evenings, «Lalitamba, Lalitamba.» The name Lalitamba means Divine Mother.
