Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 780: Shri Vishvato mukhi (ōṃ viśvatōmukhyai namaḥ

The Divine Mother has faces in or is looking at all directions.

The Divine Mother has faces in all directions. The devotee may sit in any place and face any direction and pray to Her. There is no question as to if that is correct; She is always there everywhere in every direction. The true devotee can see Her in everywhere in the universe.

She is the face of all universal beings, which originally have come from Her or Brahman. If we assume someone as the Divine Mother and offer food to that person, that food gets delivered to the Divine Mother.

The Divine Mother guides every living being on its life path with Her cosmic Virat form.

The Divine Mother has faces in all directions.
