Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 213: Shri Maha pujya (OM mahApUjyAyai namaH)

In Namams 199 to 248, the Divine Mother’s  Saguna or infiniteness power and glory are described. 

The Divine Mother is the greatest to be worshipped; and or the Divine Mother is most worshippable. 

The humans and other universal creatures worship the Divine Mother for their sustenance and other living needs. All the worships of different devas or deities reach the Divine Mother only. 

The humans devote their five sensory elements to seek the Divine Mother’s blessings. All the puja of universal creatures add up to a larger Maha puja of the Divine Mother. 

We have seen earlier that the Three-Murthis, namely, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva are worshipping the Divine Mother. She is Maha, with every attribute like power, kindness and controlling the universe, which is held within Herself. So She is Maha pujya or Pujaniya. 

The  Divine Mother’s worship is Maha puja.

 

Mari amman. She takes care of the earthly things.
