The Divine Mother resides in the head.
The Divine Mother is living in Sirah (the head). In the human body’s seven cakras, the knowledge base is in Sahasrara cakra which is at the top of the head. Sahasrara means thousand-petaled lotus. Kundalini from the bottom level Muladhara goes through six cakras and reaches Sahasrara in the head where the Shiva-Shakti union is taking place. The Divine Mother’s great form is there. A king may have many mansions, yet he will choose a place where he sits in the Simhasanam (the ruling chair) and runs his kingdom’s court. Sahasrara is comparable to such a courthouse of a King. There may be some difficulties in having the darshan of the Divine Mother. With Lord Shiva as the Guru and with His blessings, the devotee can have the darshan and blessings of the Divine Mother. He will merge with Shiva-Shakti union, which is called Triveni sangamam. So, to bring out the goodness of the seventh cakra Sahasrara, this Namam Sirahsthita is mentioned here.
Sahasarara cakra is the bindu
where the Divine Mother is with Lord Shiva in union. When we meditate upon Her
mantra rupa, we need a Guru. In Guru’s form the Divine Mother and Lord Shiva,
grace and bless the devotees. The Divine Mother resides in Mahabindu.
Bhaskararaya says that the Divine Mother resides in the Brahmarandhra (the hole
in the head) in the form of Guru.
