In Namam 132 to 187, the Divine Mother’s Japarupam or
Formlessness will be the described.
The Divine Mother is tranquil or calm or free from any
disturbance.
As the Universal Mother, She is present everywhere. She is on the
move. In spite of all Her activities, She is calm and free from disturbance. As
the Supreme Self, She is in a total calmness state.
When the devotee’s mind is disturbed, the Divine Mother helps
him to become calm.
She resides in the realm of calmness, “Santa rasa”. Santa is one
of the nine Rasas or sentiments in poetry. The key feature of this Santa rasa
is absence of ego and feelings related to ego.
In Santa rasa, there is no sorrow, no happiness, no thinking, no
anger or no love or no desire. Ii is a state, perfect in balance; in calmness
and composure at every difficult situation.
The previous and present Namams can be considered differently as
follows: Niskalasanta as Niskala + astanta. Here asanta means that the Divine Mother
pervades to the end in all directions, indicating the eternity.
Santa state reveals that She is the embodiment of the Supreme
Self in total calmness.
