Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 168: Shri Niskrodha (OM niShkrodhAyai namaH)

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

The Divine Mother is without anger.

Anger is destructive. Continuous control of it is needed to gain freedom.

Ahimsa is abstaining from killing, causing pain to others by thought, word or deed. Ahimsa is good dharma for the soul. Great mental discipline and refinements are needed for achieving ahimsa. Ahimsa has to be free from anger.

Lord Krsna says that rajo-guna, which is the aspect of passion in an individual that causes desire and anger. They are enemies, devouring and sinful for the soul. Therefore overcoming such negatives in life will be the best victory.

All self atonement like fasting, sacrifices, japa and meditation are needed to overcome desire and anger. Unfilled desire can also cause anger. Ignorance is the cause of desire.


Those having reached the Supreme Self do not have any desire. The Divine mother is totally free from desires. There is no need, for, Her as She owns everything. She does not have any enemy or friend. And there is neither any desire nor anger in Her.

Krodha can be defined as highlight of anger (Sanskrit: pratigha) that causes one to prepare to harm others. Astrological view point is that if one’s astro chart sixth house is infected with papa or sinful stars, then the person will have more enemies. He will also be ill tempered with anger showing up often. The worship of the Divine Mother will be of much help for such an individual.
