Dear Devi Devotee, Sub: Balipriya --Kamam--Desire -- Krodha -- Anger In reply to your mail, members would be happy to know the explanation of MAHA PERIVAL of Kanchi on this subject instead of me giving the meaning. I shall deal with each of these emotions part by part. It is customary to speak of Kama – desire and krodha together. When we intensely desire an object, we try to get it by fair or foul means. Desire is a deadly enemy as it eggs on to commit a sin. Equally deadly is anger. Unfulfilled desires become anger and we turn against a man who believe was an obstacle. The desire like a rubber ball bounces and returns to us as an anger when the desire is not fulfilled. The attack we believe we make on others in our anger is actually an attack on ourselves – and we are hurt more than the target person. we are ugly when angry with the whole body and mind shaking and when the face is observed in a mirror we know that. Desire is like fire and the more it is fed it becomes more hungry and the kama blackens our mind. When the desire is gratified there is a momentary joy but it soon goes in search of more food and in the process we lose our peace of mind and happiness to become victims of SORRROW AND ANGER which are two forms of unrequited desire. If we think that those who are hindrance to the gratification of our desire are inferior to us, we turn our anger against them and if we think that they are superior we are afraid of them and grieve within ourselves. Anger is more packed with evil power than desire if one looks into the story of Nala. We must be extremely wary of this terrible sinner called anger and little thought would convince us that we are not in the least qualified to be angry with anybody or to shout at anybody. We are even guiltier than those against whom we turn in our anger. We know this in our heart of hearts. Even if we are guiltless, before we rush to find fault with someone, we must ask ourselves whether we would not have committed the offence we think he is guilty of were we placed in the same circumstances as he. Therefore we must always try our Best to keep anger always at a distance. As Lord Krishna says in the Gita that desire and anger goad a man into sinful action. Anger is provoked in two ways. When we see a man who has committed an offence we lose our temper. But we do not pause to think whether we too have the same weakness. the sastras proclaim that the first step towards Atmic improvement is to sever ourselves from evil people and to seek company of virtuous men. Even if we look at sinners with love, we must be able to pray for him that one day he turns himself to a path of virtue. “O Ambika I too might have sinned like him but in your mercy you did not give me the occasion to do so. Be merciful to him in the same way. The natural Dharma of a man is to be loving and affectionate. And to be loving and affectionate is to be ever in bliss. Love is SIVAM and we must always lean-to attain the condition of love that is SIVAM.

Devi likes a person with strength (Ballam) and one may ask what type of strength.the strength being the ability to recognise and conquer "AVIDHYA" and such persons is called as DHEERA . 2. Any person who is able to control and conquer with strength the negative emotions like Kamam ,Krodham,Lopam,Madham,Moham,Mathsaryam and to such a person the Lalitha Parameshwari is very pleased with. -- Balipriya 3. This also means ,as In vamana Avathara ,the Maha Vishnu when He was compassionate with Bali Chakravarthy and blessed him.(Balipriya) . One may wonder why i am refering to Maha Vishnu in Lalith Sahasranama. this is relevant because Lalitha ParaBhattarika is none other than Maha Vishnu and there is no betham. if one sees the Bhasyam of Namavali such as Govindarupini -- Devi in the form of maha vishnu , Gopthri -- the operator or the maintenance of the universe who is Devi as Maha Vishnu, As in Narayini -- the shakti related to Narayanan or Mahavishnu, in order to distribute the Amruta to Devas vishnu took the form of a beautiful Mohini with the grace of Devi ( See Soundarya Lahari -- Haristwamaradya ) therefore vishnu is also Devi, also refer Narayini Sthuthi in Durga Sapthasathi, Vishnu Maya in Saptha sathi, mukndaa ( L.S ) also Mundaha in Vishnu Sahasranama -- Mukunda NAME is one of the names of Mahavishnu and this namavali also means MUKUHU --moksha -- Devi Or Vishnu who grants Moksha To the Bhakta as per the respective Sahasranama, vaishnavi -- The energy of vishnu, Vishnurupini -- who is in form of Mahalaksmi --if one notices is Devi purana it is described as Devi who in the form of Vishnu holding Shanku,Chakra,Gatha etc.also refer to PanchaBhuththesi (L S ) -- the eshwari to pancha butha which is same as in Mahavishnu's Vaijanthimala , he is referred to as in the form of panchabutha. So next time when you meet a paramabhakta of Mahavihnu, pl recognise him as a Devi Upasaka. 4. Devi who is in forefront to receive any offering given by a devotee with parama bhakthi , whether it is a vegetarian or a non-vegetarian, during a puja or YAGNA .
