Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 646: Shri Satyananda svarupini (ōṃ satyānandasvarūpiṇyai namaḥ)

The Divine Mother’s form is Existence and Bliss. 

Satya means existence and reality; it does not change with time. The Divine Mother is the Sun (ya) who is the life force (sat to mean prana) of all universal beings. 

The Divine Mother is in ever Existence and in Auspiciousness form. Something is available in one period and not in another period; it is available in one place but not in another place; our body was not there earlier; our body is there now but it will not be there in the future. These are examples of other conditions if something cannot be found; there is no permanent existence for them. Our body takes shape for our birth and after of our death, it will not be there, the soul moves to another body. They are not permanent, due to Maya, time and place. The Divine Mother is eternally spreading through the universe in sat form, being the life force for all universal beings. 

All universal beings enjoy life due to the fact they originated from the ever happy Divine Mother. The jewelry made using gold are all gold; likewise, having come from the happy state of the Divine Mother, all universal beings are happy, and they enjoy the life. When such universal beings suffer due to the Maya effect, their happiness is hidden by the Divine Mother. Those beings coming from always happy the Divine Mother, always seek happiness. When they are controlled by time and place due to Maya, they have limited happy state. The Divine Mother is not controlled by such Maya effects and eternally She is presiding over the universe. 

Satyam is never destroyed or always lost. Without sorrow, joy is called Ananda. The Divine Mother is there in Existence always (eternally) with ultimate Bliss. Satyam (Existence) and Bliss are different. They are part of dharma. The Divine Mother is always in all this. The Divine Mother, Satyam and Bliss are although different are part of the Divine Mother’s forms. 

Bliss is the true nature of Brahman. Brahman is Knowledge and Bliss,as stated in the Sruti. Thus, the Divine Mother is that Brahman. We recall the earlier declaration in the Sruti that “Brahman is Existence, Knowledge and Infinity. (Satyam, JmAnam, anantam and Brahma)”

The Goddess the Divine Mother is in ever

Existence and Bliss state.
