Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 879: Shri Sudhasrutih (ōṃ sudhāsṛtyai namaḥ)

The Divine Mother is Kundalini Shakti’s nectar source. Sudha is nectar. Sruthi is flowing.

The Divine Mother is in the form of nectar or total bliss. Those who follow proper Brahamachariyam, will have their Kundalini Shakti energized; it starts from Muladharam going through stages towards seventh Jana place Sahasraram (the seventh and highest primary chakra located at the crown of the head); During this process, absolute bliss or nectar freely flows from Sahasraram. Yogis enjoy a very small portion of it and go through Samadhi stage for long time, without their body being destroyed. The Divine Mother is in that Paramananda state.

For the whole universe, Sun provides light and heat. Sun gives heat, while the moon provides the sweet and cool light. During daytime, the Sun’s energy is useful for all beings in the universe. Moon’s light at nighttime is available for fifteen days. The Divine Mother is in such sweet light form of the Moon.

She is the ultimate bliss of nectar flow. The one which flows smoothly is called Sruti. From Sahasraram, the Divine Mother’s nectar is flowing smoothly through the Kundalini’s path to all Chakras to energize them. For those visualizing the Divine Mother within themselves, nectar flowing will cause high fever. They will have the poison within them removed as stated in Soundarya Lahari, verge 20.

Moon provides sweet light at nighttime for 15 days from new moon to full moon day. Moon’s light is absorbed by 14 daily deities when the moon starts from full moon to new moon day. The deities do the universal functions well as stated in Soundarya Lahari verge 94.

When the Kundalini rises from Muladharam to Sahasraram due to Sadhana of the soul of the devotee, it causes a flow of nectar from the moon there. This nectar cools the body of the Sadhak (the soul of the devotee). The Divine Mother is that flow of nectar for the soul of the devotee.

According to Jnana Nava, Sudhasruti is also a form of meditation upon the Divine Mother.

The Divine Mother is Kundalini Shakti’s nectar source
