Guest guest Posted January 24, 2003 Report Share Posted January 24, 2003 Sree Mata- the divine mother The very first verse of sree lalita sahasaranama desrcibes the divine mother as <br><br>"sree mata'' ""The mother is the most lovable person for a living being. A child always calls upon his mother first when he is in difficulty. But a biological mother, though a symbol of divinity, can only remove physical difficulties and that too only partly. The Holy Mother is the causative and creative force of the entire universe. She is infinite and limitless. She is omnipresent both in forms and as formless. She is all powerful to remove all kinds of sorrows and sufferings. Sri means Laksmi (goddess of wealth), Sarasvati (goddess of learning), prosperity, beauty, success, decorated with jewels, supreme intellect and one who can impart knowledge of vedas. Here, Sri refers to the power of speech and Sabda-brahman. Sri-mata is the progenitor of all - whole universe, Nature, Brahma, Vishnu,Mahesa. She is all supreme - Parabrahman. The three names of the Divine Mother - Mata, Rajni and Isvari refer to the three phenomena of creation, preservation and destruction of the universe due to three aspect of the supreme. Om Sri-Matre namah! R. Prasad, Lalita-Sahasranama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
