Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 458: Shri Malayacala Vasini (ōṃ malayācalavāsinyai namaḥ)

In Namams 381 to 474, the Divine Mother’s Jnana Yoga worship methods are discussed in details. 

The Divine Mother lives in Malaya Mountain. 

She is also known as Malaycala, which has the same meaning. This mountain is famous for sandal wood, well known for its coolness and sacredness. Bhagavathi Devi lives and has many temples in Kerala, India, which is part of Malaya Mountain. Malaya Bhagavathi has become as Malayala Bhagavathi in due course. 

The whole universe is the Divine Mother’s form. All the mountains in this earth are clearly showing Her attributes and Her forms. Like plants, the mountains also have life in them. The Malaya Mountains have equal life and praise as good as Himalaya. So it is completely correct to say that the Divine Mother resides in Malaya Mountains. To worship any mountain is a good prayer to the Divine Mother. 

 

The Divine Mother resides in Malaya mountain in South India.
