We consider semiparallel and 2-semiparallel invariant submanifolds of Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifolds. We show that these submanifolds are totally geodesic. We also consider invariant submanifolds of Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifolds satisfying the conditions Z (X, Y) . alpha = 0 and Z (X, Y) . (del) over bar (alpha) = 0 with tau not equal n(n - 1). these conditions, we prove that the submanifolds are totally geodesic.
