Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 116: Shri Bhadra Murti (OM bhadramUrtyai namaH)

From Namam 112 to 131, we will see the devotion aspects in the Divine Mother worship

The Divine Mother is the embodiment of all auspiciousness or benevolence.

According to the Vishnu Purana “auspiciousness is nothing but Brahman”

The Divine Mother has been glorified as the most auspicious of all the auspicious things in this universe. She stays auspiciously in all auspicious words, thinking, action and things.

Bhadra Murti is the one who has taken Bhadra form. The ancient Puranas say that the Divine Mother took the form of Bhadrakali to kill the demon Daruka.

There is no other thing in this universe auspicious than the Divine Mother.
