SRI LALITHA SAHASRANAMAM - ADHYAY SARAM - NOV-24-2017 - DISCOURSE - 4

Om Namasivaya Nama:

Sri Lalitha Sahasranama Adhyaya Saram - Preliminary discourse - 04 continues..

28. Pancha Easwara Kruthyam / 5 fundamental functions of divine mother Paramathma.

Creation (Srushti), Sustain (Sthithi), Withdrawal (Samhara),  Concealing (Thirodhana), Divine Gracious (Anugraha). Keeping this as its primary object - in Sri Lalitha Sahasranama Sthothram all these five functions were signified in five Manthras itself, viz: Sri Matha (Srusthi), Sri Maharagni (Sthithi), Sri Madh-Simhasaneswari (Samhara), fourth to nine hundred ninety nine mathras signifies Thirodhana and finally Sri Lalithambika, the 1000th Manthra representing Anugraham.

29. Brahmam / Maya / Jeeva

Due to the influence of Maya (Delusion), Brahman becomes Jeeva / changing its status to (Soul). The Jeeva has 3 main bad qualities viz: Ego (Anavam), Delusion (Manyika) and Action (Karmic) which bound the Jeeva to not realize that it is Brahman itself, who is none other than Siva / Parasivan itself. In other words, afflicted Siva himself is Jeeva.

30. Conclusion of Adhvaitha Vedantham

Nothing exists other than Brahman, however, when the Brahman manifest (being its duty) it joins hands with un-true Jeeva and Universe (Prapancham). When Jeevan starts its journey to reverse these phenomena it will become Brahman again. This means the transmigration is absolutely over.

31. Section of Sri Lithopakhyanam

There 6 main sections viz: 1) Mantha Ghantam, 2) Nyasa Ghantam, 3) Pooja Ghantam, 4) Homa Ghantam, 5) Rahasya Ghantam and 6) Sthothra Ghantam. Sri Lalitha Sahasranamam is narrated in the Sthothra Ghantam.

32. Classification of Sri Puram (Residing place of Divine Mother)

1. Thrikonas (Triangle points) in Sri Chakram, 2) Three parts of Pancha Dhasakhari Manthram 5+6+4=15 letters, 3) Three forms of Kundalini Sakthi (Ghnaana, Ghnaathru  Ghneyam).

33. Thre portions of Sri Lalitha Sahasranamam

1. Poorva Bhaga = 51 (pair) slokas, 2. Madhya Bhaga = 182 1/2 (pair), and 3. Phala Sruthi = 86 1/2 (pair) Sruthi. Total 640 lines.

34. Where is the source of Thri Puram (Residing place of Divine Mother) / physical place?

1) Beyond all Universal Boundaries (Brahmaandas), 2) Summit of mighty mount Meru (Meru Parvath), 3) Center of Milky Ocean (Ksheera Samudram).

35. What is Nyasam?

A function of cleansing to adore/imbibe divine power within our physical body. So that the entire body can be under the influence of divine influence. Mainly Head, Lip, Heart, Neval, Rear side of Head, Feet, Shoulders, Eyes, Anal Area etc..

36. What are the main course of Nyasam?

Two types:
1) Laghu, where, Ganapathy, Navagrahas, Nakshathras, Yoginis, Raasis, Pindas are worshipped.
2) Maha, where, Prancha, Bhuvanam, Moothaas, Manthras, Devathas, Maathruka are worshipped.

37. Three types of Sri Lalitha Sahasranama Pooja

1. Anthar-yagam (inside heart or in mind), 2) Bahir-yagam (Outside with the help of Pooja items) and 3) Mahayagam (8 elaborative manners with Pooja items in open Mandap or Anahatha Chakram).

38. According to Sri Hayagriva's advise to Sri Agasthya that Sri Lalitha Sahasranamam should be chanted or worshiped like your Nithya Karma (Daily Duties), hence no exeption.

39. Only through Sakthi Upanasana a seeker can realize Para Siva, who is Moksham itself, why?

Realizing Siva is Moksham (Effulgences, Motionless, no act, nothingness, absolute etc are actually Siva). Whereas when Thri Dosha (Anavam-Kalmam-Karmikam) afflicts on Siva, the Siva immediately changes its status to Jeeva. Hereafter the Jeeva's journey to start going back to realize its original Siva status. Please note these three Malaas (Doshas) are independent in this universe (they are floating in this universe, freely, that is why they attack/approach/observed to Siva/light/Chaithanya). Now, the truth is that ever since Srusthi/Creation started...immeditely the Siva merged with Sakthi (in fact that is called manifestation). Therefore, to find out / realize Siva there is no alternate route other than seeking the help of Sakthi to identify its Siva Chaithanyam.

Om Namasivaya Nama:

Sri Lalitha Sahasranamam Adhyaya Saram - Preliminary discourse 3 continues...

21. In earth, which places Sri Lalitha Sahasranamam was initiated, to whom?

Lord & Maharshi Sri Hayagriva ( the form of Sri Mahavishnu) gave this invaluable spiritual Sthothram to Sage Agasthya after severe tests. The Sasthras indicating 2 places viz:  a) Thirumaichur - Kumbakonam, b) Upanishad Brahma Madam - Kancheepuram.

22. What is the core idea of Sri Lalitha Sahasranamam?

A true spiritual seeker can attain and realize Paramathma Swaroopini by following at least one of the chapter among 14 chapters. Such experienced knowledge will eventually put an end to the transmigration.

23. Who is the demon who got killed on the battlefield between demon and divine?

Demon Bhandan, his brothers, and children too, and many other demons of the past Yugas!

24. Formation of Bhandasura.

Lord Siva put an end to Manmatha by opening his third eye and left with only ashes. One Ganapathy namely Chithra-Gaman made a human form out of the ashes and Brahma named him as Bhandan. This same Bhandan praised Lord Siva by chanting "Satha Rudriyam" and lord pleased with his devotion grant him 60,000 years of rulership in Heaven namely Sonitha Pura. Due to the influence of over pride (Ahamkara), Bhandan started giving trouble for heavenly personalities that lead him to die in the battle with Sri Lalithambika. Since he had a boon from Brahma that he will be killed only by a female that gave way to divine mother's incarnation. Later the same place was renovated by heavenly Architects namely Mayan and Viswakarma and named the place "Srimannagaram". All heavenly bodies requested divine mother to reside in that abode along with her other half part Sadhasiva.

25 Why should you chant Sri Lalitha Sahasranamam?

To seek and attain Prema Bhakthi and discriminative true knowledge.
