Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 546 Shri Bandha mocani (ōṃ bandhamōcanyai namaḥ)

The Goddess Divine Mother is free from all Bonds; also, She releases Her devotees from all bondages. 

The Divine Mother releases people from their bondages in samsara sahara or birth and death cycle. To be caught in samsara sahara and to have ignorance are all part of bondages It is like being caught in enemy’s hands. Those in ignorance create more bondages for themselves. It is a blessing for those in samsara sahara to turn to the Divine Mother worship and remove their bondages. With the Divine Mother’s grace and view, one’s all karmas turn into ashes. Then there will be no bondages in their life. Those who worship the Divine Mother devotionally get released from all bondages. 

So many bonds control the humans; some karma actions produce dharma results, while some other actions give adhrama results. Some happen immediately and some happen later or in subsequent births. Those adhrama results which block the freeness of humans are bondages. The Divine Mother worship releases the humans from such bondages. By reciting this Nama “Bandamocani” alone can help to remove one’s bonds. 

The Divine Mother gives freedom from all kinds of bondages. Queen Ekavali was put in prison by the demon Kalaketu. Her attendant worshipped and pleased the Divine Mother who helped to release the queen from bondages.  Similarly, Aniruddha  grandson of Lord Krishna was imprisoned by the emperor Bana; he regained freedom through worship of the Divine Mother and also able to marry Bana’s daughter, Usha. Nothing is impossible when the Divine Mother’s grace is present for the devotee.

              The Divine Mother, Bandamocani, worship  releases from all bondages for the devotees.
