Maa Durga

In this devotional video in Hindi, Om Swami beautifully narrates the form of Mother Divine based on the classical Hindu religious text Lalita Sahasranama, Thousand names of Goddess Lalita. He uses verses from this eulogy to meditate on the form of primordial energy, the Cosmic Mother, the Creatress.

She is called Shri Mata. Mother Divine, the ultimate refuge. Shri Maharajni. She is not just the queen but an empress, the independent majesty in her own right. Cittagni kunda sambhuta. She emerges from the fire of knowledge in a devotee's heart. Dev karya samudta. When you are pure like devas, the Divine Mother manifests to lend immeasurable strength to your thought. Udyat bhanu sahasrabha. When she emerges, it flashes like the brilliance of a thousand rising suns.

Listen to the glories of Divine Mother and immerse in the bhava to meditate on her most beautiful form.

Meditating On The Divine Mother [Hindi]

One thing that is clear is that Mother Divine is not bound to any ritual or to any method. She is not a lower form of energy, where we can just chant the mantra and bind her and bring her in front of us. She is Mother Divine. She has the most divine form one can imagine. When you are in love, you don't maintain an account with the other person in which you keep record of who loves whom how much; you just love. Similarly, with Mother Divine no account is possible. I cannot say that I will call you two and half crore times, which is a lot of time, and therefore you should show me your form. It is just not possible. 

We have to realize where we belong in this creation. We are part of the divine but only qualitatively. Quantitatively we are one tiny drop. Earth is a tiny drop in the galaxy. Our galaxy is a tiny drop in the universe. The universe is a tiny drop in the multiverse. The scale of creation is extraordinarily infinite. To experience the divine, somewhere we have to be divine. I am expounding on the essence of Lalitha Sahasranamam on my faith and the basis of my faith is the direct experience. I beg for forgiveness to Mother Divine for this audacity to say that I will expound on the essence of Lalitha Sahasranamam. 

Listen to this discourse full of divinity on the Essence of Lalitha Sahasranamam by Om Swami.

01 Essence of Lalita Sahasranamam - Part 1

Mantra 4: For achieving good oration and knowledge
Deity: Vagdevi Saraswati               Seer: Sage Bharadvaja Barhaspatya 

The mantra is chanted to invoke the grace of Goddess Vagdevi Saraswati, addressing Her as the Controller of mind; to come and reside in the tongue of the chanter at the speed of horse and help achieve mastery over oration and in life.

The Speech Mantra

Lalita Sahasranamam can be done as an independent practice or as part of Sri Vidya. Ma (Mother Divine) is called Sri. Sri means where all the four types of sukhas live. Sri means somebody you can take aashrya (shelter), refuge in. She is situated on the left side of Siva. To really succeed on the path of self-realization or sadhana you have to understand your masculine and feminine aspects and these are forever changing in every human being. There are three aspects of Lalita Sahasranamam, first is devotion, second is meditation and the third is initiation. Devotion is absolutely critical, no matter how tough a yogi you are; devotion alone will make you humble. If you are not devoted to a god or a guru or even to a cause, you will be constantly battling with your own ego and anger all the time. Devotion is of utmost important. 

The first verse of Lalita Sahasranamam says that She is Sri Mata, the ultimate Ma. A mother is the embodiment of compassion. A mother is willing to accept anything. She is Maharagyni, meaning she is not the Maharani (The Queen); She is the Empress. 

Listen to this devotional discourse by Om Swami and gain insight on the Essence of Lalita Sahasranamam.

02 Essence of Lalita Sahasranamam - Part 2

The radiance of Ma is like thousand suns. Ma has four limbs, they are the four pursharthas, they are the four types of sounds, they are the four types of japa, they are the four types of avasthas and they are four types of guna. So the form of Ma starts with these most basic and fundamental attributes that are the very basis of existence of every single living entity on our planet and beyond.

She is holding a noose of passion. The bow she is holding is of mind. The five arrows she is holding are the five subtle elements also know as touch, taste, smell, sight and sound. From the perspective of sadhana, these are your only hurdles, only obstacles on the path of sadhana. You need to overcome these hurdles by rising above your passions, anger and desires. This will always be the first test of any sincere seeker. As you progress on the path of sadhana, you move from the form to the formless. She is much easier to attain when you worship her within you because then she becomes part of every single atom of existence. The magnitude builds to a level where you start to feel her presence.

It is not without reason that the Sahasranamam starts with the physical attributes of Mother Divine.

2) O new moon that has arisen from the ocean of King Vrsabhanu! O friend of Lalita! O You who make Visakha loyal to You due to Your wonderful qualities of friendliness, kindness, and faithfulness to Krsna!

3) O You who are filled with compassion! O You whose divine characteristics are described by the great sages Sanaka and Sanatana! O Radha, please be merciful to me!
