From namam 52, we
will be seeing the Divine Mother’s residence description up to Namam 63.
The Divine Mother bestows
(confers or presents an honour) all that is auspicious.
Saiva (one of the main branches of modern Hinduism, devoted to the
worship of the Lord Shiva as the supreme being) scriptures (sacred writings that are regarded as
holy in particular in religious matters) say that the Divine Mother is the
power behind all pervading (especially spreading through and perceived in every
part of), all witnessing and all knowing actions in this universe. The difference
is in feature or gender. They both are one supreme self.
The same Saiva scriptures
also say that both Siva and the Divine Mother are inseparable, known as SHIVA.
Some examples for such in separations are: Heat from fire, radiance from the
Sun and Moonlight from Moon.
She is no other than
Lord Shiva. There is no difference between them. She is always the auspicious
figure giving moksa (where there is no more birth) for the devotee. She
provides for all auspicious things in this universe.
Lord Siva can be seen
in eight things: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Sky, Sun, Moon and a male. This is
according to Ashtothira satha
namavali (praising of the Lord in 108 names) for Dishnamurthy (a
form of Lord Shiva who took the role as a Universal Guru or Teacher to sages and
other devotees). In one of these eight types, the Air version is called Ishan (Lord).
The wife of this Ishan is the Divine Mother named SHIVA.
She is the Goddess who
gives us or takes us to the world of Lord Shiva. May the Divine Mother’s grace showers
present us with a flash of Her divine gross form and bless us all.
