Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 175: Shri Bhava Nasini (OM bhavanAshinyai namaH)

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

The Divine Mother destroys the samsara sagara for Her devotees. The meaning of this is to give liberation from birth and death cycles.

In the samsara sagara, the souls are being transmigrated into new bodies, through the cycles of birth and death. During this process the souls aim for higher state in each birth.

The devotees understand the pain in getting rebirths. Therefore they seek liberation from attachments of samsara sagara. Once the devotees surrender to the Divine mother, with Her grace, they mature to leave their attachments. Her grace is there for them to get liberation; She is the Bhavanasini.

The Divine Mother blesses Her devotees with the realization of the Supreme Self within, and gives freedom from samsara sagara. Namam 926 “Anarghya Kaivalya Pada Dayini (OM anarghya kaivalyapadadAyinyai namaH)” gives the meaning that the Divine Mother confers the priceless fruit of Final liberation on Her devotees.

Brahajjabala Upanisad says that if anybody bathes in the river named Bhavanasini, there will be no rebirth for him. Bhavani is an Indian River flows through Indian states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu, India. It is a major tributary of the Kaveri River.

 


This Namam is interpreted to mean that the Divine Mother liberates Her devotees from samsara sagara (Birth and Death cycles).
