Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 302: Shri Hrimathi (OM hrImatyai namaH)

In Namams 275 to365, the Divine Mother’s many forms providing benefits to Her devotees in great details are discussed. 

The Divine Mother is endowed with modesty. 

The Divine Mother gives the modesty to good souls. She is in modest form. As universal leader, She does not easily appear in front of everybody. Likewise  non worshippers cannot get Her grace and blessings. However, She is easily available to Her devotees. The meaning of this Namam is that the Divine Mother does not so easily give darshan for anybody; except for Her devotees. 

Hri stops the bad acts being performed by humans. Those learned people, dealing with matured souls will be shy to do any bad things. This is natural for them. 

Nobility comes from modesty. Modesty is an ornament or a protection given to women. Nature or the Divine Mother gives modesty to women as a protective cover. The Divine Mother is endowed with such modesty Herself. 

The Divine Mother is shy and modest in performing Her actions.

The Divine Mother
