Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 105: Shri Sahasrarambujarudha (OM sahasrArAmbujArUDhAyai namaH)

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

The Divine Mother moves up to the Sahasrara chakra which is like a thousand petaled lotus.

This is the abode of Lord Sadasiva. The Divine Mother sits in Lord Sadasiva’s left lap there.

SahasrAbuja (the thousand petaled lotuses) is above Ajna-chakra and below Bradmandhra (an opening in the crown of head)

Thousand is to be taken to mean as many or countless. The Divine Mother has countless places to reside to bless and provide help to Her devotees.

Chandra has 15 destructible arts or elements which we can visualize. Sada means always present. Sixteenth art or element is non destructible which can be called sada or Sadasiva.
