Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 148: Shri Nityasuddha (OM nityashuddhAyai namaH)

In Namam 132 to 187, the Divine Mother’s Japarupam or Formlessness will be the described.

The Divine Mother is eternally pure.

We identify in this universe something is pure and some others, as impure. A pure thing when joined with other thing can turn out as impure. For instance, the natural water and air are considered pure, but when they join with other elements they can become impure. Sky does not join with other of the five elements. The Divine Mother is not joining with any other things in this universe. So there is no impurity in Her.

Limitations like physical purity and impurity are there to help the devotee to achieve mental purity. The Divine Mother is above and beyond such limitations. She is untouched by any flaw.

Any impurity that comes to Her, will in turn be purified by Her infinite and absolute pureness. No impurity can change Her active dynamic purity. She has such a transformative power in dealing with purity.

The body may be impure but the soul which lives in it is pure. There is no impurity in the Supreme Self, the Divine Mother.

She is ever pure, Nityasuddha.
