SRI LALITHA SAHASRANAMAM - ADHYAY SARAM - FEB-23-2018 - DISCOURSE - 15

Om Namasivaya Nama:

Chapter 3 - Bhandasura Vadam continues...

The third Chapter is having exceptional importance due to many quality reasons viz:

1. Creation and introduction of Lord Vigneswara to overcome most difficult obstacles.
2. Importance of Narayana Manthram and Maha Vishnu's Dasa Avatharam
3. Thidhi Nithya Devi's special power to defeat enemies who act adversely by using cheating act.
4. Loss of own beloved children, brothers and most powerful Army Chiefs of Bhandasur. In other words, even after having all such exceptional power with him, when the Divine Mother (Paramathma) wants him to be relieved from the bondage and merge with her, She will eventually cut all the relationships that gave false strength, imagination and power. Another lesson from this episode is that possessing so many things will not give way to revelation, one must give up or renounce everything to accept the truth (Thyagenaiva Amruthathwa Maansu). Either give up yourself or nature will take it. (Nature is none other than Parasakthi herself).
5. Usage of Maha Pasupatha Asthram and Kameswara Asthram to eradicate the adamancy shown by Bhandasur. No one can have permanent existence unless the source of all existence decided to do so.

The Jeeva (Soul, in this context it is Bhandasur himself) does not want to accept the truth (Paramathma) but it fights to the best since ignorance is enveloped to live. Moreover, false image, ego, pride etc. made him fight and fight (it is called Dwaitha Vruthis). Whereas once Mother decided to take us back from sufferings it will be done at any cost.

The summary of the third Chapter is already given in my previous week narration.

SRI LALITHA SAHASRANAMAM - ADHYAY SARAM - FEB-16-2018 - DISCOURSE - 14

Om Namasivaya Nama:

Chapter 3 - Bhandasura Vadham
Naama Manthram : 64 to 83 (20 Naama)

Divine mother revealed her divine form to the devotees who were pleading with her for protection from Bhandasuran.

Bhandan was born from the ashes of Manmathan. One of Siva's Gana-pathy Chithragaman collected the ashes and made a human male form, thereafter Brahma named him Bhandan (means Good). To show gratitude, Bhandan pleased Lord Siva by chanting various Manthras and Slogas and received blessings. After some time, Bhandan decided to do penance (Thapas) and got boon from Brahma that he can be killed by only a female sakthi. This made him egoistic and forget his purpose of life. Bhandan started giving lots of trouble to all good people and conquered all three Realms viz. Bhulok, Swargam and Paathaal.  His Kingdom is known as Sonitha Pura.

As per the supplication by devotees, divine mother had to kill him with the help of various divine Sakthis.

I consider Bhandan as our Soul (Jeeva - who is always good but due to ignorance it lives in a body and starts giving trouble to itself as well outsiders). After one's death and cremation (The burned Manmatha, primary representative of free will to attract and control anyone in this universe), nature will reward a human body for the departed soul and the transmigration continues until it gets absorbed by the Divine Mother Paramathma from where all movements (Primordial Force) takes place. Jeeva, the Purusha (Male) joins Param Purusha or Para Sakthi (Female). End of the human body is the beginning of the divine journey. Please note body is completely different from Soul (Jeeva). Mortal Body can be male or female form, but the residing Jeeva/Soul is always Purusha to be realized through various divine practices.

Summary: The afflicted ignorant Jeeva (Bhandan) gets the help of Divine Mother to be united with Her and free from transmigration called Salvation.

SRI LALITHA SAHASRANAMAM - ADHYAY SARAM - FEB-02-2018 - DISCOURSE - 13

Om Namasivaya Nama:

Chapter 2 - Srima-nnagaram
Naama Manthram : 55 to 63 (9 Manthram)

The 2nd Chapter is revealing the abode of Divine Mother and what type of seat She holds. She resides in Mighty Celestial Sumeru Mountain, this mountain resides in the Sudha Sagar (Ocean of Nectar). 3 types of Sumeru can be realized viz: 1) our physical body, 2) Mount Kailas and 3) Invisible Celestial Mount, out of these three, one can physically touch and feel first 2 mountains and the third one can be touched only by meditation by way of Bhavana.

This place has 4 peaks, first three peaks are the residence of Brahma, Vishnu & Rudra and the centre of these three the fourth peak that is Divine Mother's residence (Our heart - having 4 chambers). Her residence is surrounded by a Subtle Island called Manidweep within the seven oceans (Our body is filled with almost 7 litres of liquid mainly in the form of blood). To reach Manidweep one must cross 25 chambers of eternal worlds/properties. Her house name is Chinthamani Graham (Wishes fulfilling place). Her divine seat is shared and supported by Five Brahmas viz: Brahma, Vishnu, Rudra, Maheswara and Sadhasiva, in the same order of Her activities such as Srushti, Sthithi, Samharam, Thirodhana and Anugraha. For human beings, these 5 activities are known as Jagrath, Swapna, Sushuptha, Thurya and Thuryaatheetha (Jeeva's status). These Brahmas are seated or posited on the four corners like pillars viz: South-East, South-West, Noth-West, North-East and Sadhasiva as a table top. Sri Parasakthi (Divine Mother) sits on top of it.

Whereas our Jeeva's Five Brahma Aasanaas are the Five Sheaths known as Annamaya Kosa, Praanamaya Kosa, Manomaya Kosa, Vignaanamaya Kosa and Anandhamaya Kosa. In other words whatever the divine power as we too have the same. That is why the Veda says you are That, you are not different from That (Thathwamasi and Asithathwam), however, due to ignorance, we try to differentiate and confuse as our inherited decease. Many human beings never made an attempt to cure this transmigration decease, therefore, we are born with ignorance and continue to be a sick person until next birth. Those who treat and heal get cured and never born again.

She is having Saraswathy and Lakshmi with her two eyes. Therefore devotees wishes are understood by a simple look. This means a true devotee need not submit his wish list to her, all he/she need to do is look at her compassionate divine form and embrace her presence within his/her heart. Usually, a person who posses education/knowledge (Giver - Saraswathy) and wealth/prosperity (Giver - Lakshmi) get fulfilled all his/her wishes with the help of hard work or efforts (Durga). These hormones will emerge in our body those who meditate on her divine form.

Summary: Those who meditate divine mother's universal, self-illuminating charmful form in one's heart, he/she will become divine and attain salvation!
