Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 100: Shri Brahma Granthi Vibhedini (OM brahmagranthivibhedinyai namaH)

In Namams 91 to 111, we will be seeing the Divine Mother’s subtle Mantra- Rupam.

The Divine Mother breaks through the knot of Brahma (Brahma-grandhi).

Granthi is a knot. Above Muladhara and Svadhisthana (Agni- Mandala) there is a knot called Brahmagranthi. This knot is created by Brahma as a symbol of creation. It is a symbolic creative instinct.

This granthi acts like a hurdle due to the past vasana of the devotee. The devotee with his Sadhana and the Divine Mother’s grace is able go through this granthi.

Vibhedini is one who breaks through a hurdle.
