Writings on Divine mother..........Sai Maa

[Guest guest]

Aum Sai Ram,

 

(Source........Sri Lalita Sahasranama printed by Sri Ramakrishna Math)

 

Vishnu Sahasranama does not attribute any particular abode to Vishnu. He is the

Indwelling Spirit in all beings ,and the whole cosmos constitutes His body.

But the Lalita -Sahasranama gives several abodes to the Mother like

CINTAMANIGRAHA ,JALANDHARA,kADAMBA-VANA, MALAYACHALA ,MAHAKAILASA,VINDHYACHALA

,group of fifty PITHAS etc. The discription of the form of the Deity is very

much anthropomorphic giving as it does detailed description of the

various parts of the body . In Vishnu Sahsranama bodily description is

marginal only , just to show that besides being all pervading spirit

,Vishnu is a personality too , but there is nothing in it to equal the

description of the enthralling beauty

of Lalitambika. In Lallita various exploits of the Devi like the

destruction of the Bhanda are given in the begining itself. The Vishnu

though it refers to the Avataras never gives any description of their

exploits. It is concerned more with attributes of the Divine. Unlike the

Vishnu ,the Lalita gives elaborate references to ritualistic worship like

Sri-Cakra puja ,the paths of Samaya and Kaula and other details of the

Mother cult. The chanting of this Sahasranama is made the concluding part

of the

Sri-Vidya Upasana ,which includes also the repetitions of Panchadasaksari

mantra and Sri-Cakrapuja . But for those whoo have no competency and

facility to observe all the three, chanting the Lalita -Sahsrana alone

is considered sufficient..
