Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 876: Shri Nira maya (ōṃ nirāmayāyai namaḥ)

The Divine Mother is free from all kinds of diseases.

This is true not only for the Divine Mother, but also for Her devotees, who worship Her with unswerving devotion. They will be free of diseases with Her grace and blessings.

Plant based universal beings have appropriate structure to take care of their growth and wellbeing. Each type of universal being has some differences when we analysis them deeply and correctly. This is called diseased state or Amaya (with the meaning the end). The earth is almost circular in shape; it has mountains and valleys. Earth looks like it is having shortfalls or weaknesses in some places. The rivers originate and carry water for other good use elsewhere. Worldly life can get going even though all universal beings have some form of deficiencies. The Divine Mother is in all these universal beings and yet She is free from any shortfall or deficiency.

Souls take each birth to rectify their shortfalls and to make them good. Samsara Sagara is a diseased state for the souls. Each soul tries in its own way to rectify shortfalls and move towards Brahman. This is part of worldly life. Such diseased souls are part of the Divine Mother also; She is beyond all these diseases and free from them, which is not a total surprise. She takes care all universal things sportingly, which explains Her disease-free state. The soul through a human body is born in current birth, as diseased. The Divine Mother causes such births for the souls, yet, eternally, She is disease free. The soul goes through birth after birth. It is having struggle to move towards the Brahman. To give growth to such a soul is a playing act for the Divine Mother. Human is afraid about his death. Through death, the soul regenerates itself into a new human body. Even this happens only with the Divine Mother’s grace. Universal beings, have diseased samsara cycle; the root cause of all death and birth cycles for all souls is the Divine Mother; She is always disease free Herself.

Our body and mind suffering are also called Amaya. These can happen due to wrong foods taken in by humans. For the Divine Mother, such wrong things cannot happen; She is always disease-free. For those who surrender to Her, they will not have attachment and they become disease free like the Divine Mother.

The Divine Mother is free from all kinds of diseases.
