Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 165: Shri Mamata hantri (OM mamatAhantryai namaH)

In Namam 132 to 187, the Divine Mother’s Japarupam or Formlessness will be the described.

The Divine Mother destroys the sense of ownership in Her devotees.

The sense of AhankAra with “I” and “Mine” is caused by devotee’s body and mind. The devotee wants to have things owned by others. When such wants increase, the greater evil called selfishness comes in.

The longing for things which we do not possess, but owned by others is due to ignorance. This leads to aggression or fighting with others.

The spiritual training gives best benefit of victory over such selfishness at every step in the forward journey for the soul.

After listening to Lord Krsna, Arjuna changed his mind to fight in Mahabaratha war.  Such mental changes in Arjuna had been caused by the Divine Mother through Lord Krishna.

All things in this universe belong to the Divine Mother; but She does not have any ownership interest in any of these things. She does not have to think of things owned by others as She owns all of them. The Divine Mother is devoid of self interest and does not have any interest in things in this universe. She also destroys and eliminates the very desire and sense of ownership in Her devotees.


Selflessness, detachment from worldly things and doing the allotted karma with total involvement in present birth for the devotee will lead to salvation.
