Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 223: Shri Maha buddhih (OM mahAbuddhyai namaH)

In Namams 199 to 248, the Divine Mother’s  Saguna or infiniteness power and glory are described. 

The Divine Mother is Supreme, in intelligence. 

Supreme intelligence is part and parcel of universal creation, protection and dissolution; The Divine Mother with Her Supreme intelligence, She is ruling the universe smoothly. 

The Divine Mother is greatly intelligent. The universal creatures are at varying degrees of intelligence, which is useful for their own living needs. A person considered poor in intelligence, still has certain intelligence to survive with his life; basically his intelligence has not crystallized from its confused state. The Divine Mother worship improves to get better intelligence. The intelligent person prays to the Divine Mother for gaining even more intelligence. 

The intelligence helps to easily understand anything including any minute or micro issues. The Divine Mother has the super intelligence to understand all things in the universe. Any devotee, who understands the Divine Mother, knows the universal things as they are. 

Devi Mahatmya says “Many salutations to Her, who exists in all beings in form of intelligence”. 

The Divine Mother bestows great intelligence to Her devotees. Everything becomes clear, when the intelligence is firmly fixed on Her. “Which, when, known all is known” says the Chandogya upanisad. 

For all our achievements, intelligence is needed. When there is no intelligence, all is dead. If we lack the intelligence and others who are with us lack the intelleigence, they can bring us danger to us. The most important Gayatri Mantra prayer asks for “kindly awaken our intelligence” from Almighty. 

Lord Krshna in Gita warns” From lack of intelligence, utter ruin comes”. 

The Divine Mother with all Her super intelligence; She is providing intelligence to Her devotees; 

She is the Maha Buddhih.
