Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 162: Shri Nir Moha (OM nirmohAyai namaH)

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

The Divine Mother is free from any delusion or desire.

Moha is desire. Moha is due to the confusion arising from ignorance. The desire or wish, for getting something which is not mine, causes moha. Believing that we lost when we do not lose, is also called moha.

It is the reflection of lack of differentiation between what is real and what is unreal. Gita says that from krodha (anger) comes moha or loss of consciousness. The Divine Mother is not affected by all these issues causing moha.

There cannot be delusion and sorrow when the devotee realizes the Supreme Self.

The Divine Mother is Nir Moha
