Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 682: Shri Shubha kari (ōṃ śubhakaryai namaḥ)

The Goddess Divine Mother does all auspicious things to Her devotees.

In current world if we see a mother being bad, She does only good things to Her wards. She never does bad things to her children. Likewise, if the devotee is sincere in his devotion and worship, the Divine Mother in whatever form does not give bad things to such devotee. She will ensure that such devotees do not turn to bad ways and means. 

Shri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa could not go to his friend’s place as agreed by him, he could not sleep well. Only after doing as, he had said, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa could sleep. The Divine Mother in same way, is saving Her devotees.

She does auspicious things to her devotees in all forms. In whatever way we worship the Divine Mother, the result is the same, which is providing auspiciousness to the devotees by Her. She only has the auspiciousness to give out. She converts the evil to good. Being evil is human nature, being auspicious is Shiva (the Divine Mother)’s nature. She is auspicious to all that to Her devotees.

She grants good even to those who worship imperfectly, as She is the Mother of the universe. A mother would want to only to do what is good even for an erring child The Divine Mother is Shubhakari, auspicious to Her devotees.
