hrIm.h is HER lakShaNa

 

hrIM is a compositions of "ha", "ra", "I" and anusvara "M".

 

* "ha" is shiva. It is the bIjA of AkAsha. And shiva is like AkAsha

untouched.

 

* "ra" is vahni bIjA. Fire expresses the Ishwara who is the cause and

who has the power within to produce the the result (jagat).

 

* "ha" combined with "ra" is the pure Awareness. In its independent

causal state.

 

* "I" is the manmatha bIjaM. It signifies its cause and indicates the

Awareness in the form of viShNu. viShNu is the cause for preservation.

 

* The anusvara "M" indicates the disolution of jagat into THAT which is

its inseparable material and efficient cause.

 

Hence when hrIM is uttered, the Awareness which is the cause of creation,

preservation and destruction of jagat is expressed as the power inherent

in the word.

 

hrIM is only HER sign. HER form is beyond all limitations. SHE has

taTastha lakShaNa (refer to name 69 lakShanojvaladivyA.ngI), that is, in

active with reference to jagat.
