The namam Shri
Math Shimhanaeswari means the one sitting on Shimahasanam which is a position
of power and authority. The Divine Mother is sitting in such a position of
power and authority and ruling the whole Universe. Shimam is a Sanskrit word to
mean the Lion.
A leader in
any field occupies an authoritative seat, reflecting his leadership authority
and the responsibility coming with it. In our types of homes, the person who
brings in earnings for that household such as money is considered the leader of
the household. In a village or a town, the person who commands the majority
support of the people through his achievement and leadership occupies the
deciding position or the power of authority. In a state or a country the Chief
Minister or the Prime Minister occupies such a seat of power. One of the examples
is the President of United States of America through America’s leading
financial and military might is occupying the world leader status. In olden
days the King or the Emperor occupied such a seat of power/authority.
The Lion is the strongest Animal in a forest. To ride on a Lion, one has to have the strength to control the Lion first and occupy the position of controlling the Lion. The Divine mother being the provider of the needs and strict ruler of her subjects in the universe, her seat of authority is very similar to person riding a Lion in a forest. She is handling the total affairs of the universe as the ruler and her seat is called a Shimahasanam which a position of power and authority.
With all her
strength and power, the Divine Mother is the sole authority and there can be no
comparison to her position in the Universe. Essentially the Divine Mother is
sitting on a Shimahasanam and ruling the Universe with total power and
authority.
