Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 968: Shri Sukha kari (ōṃ sukhakaryai namaḥ)

The Divine Mother gives out happiness.

She creates happiness for Her devotees. A fish is happy living in water. If we take that fish, and give all the comfort on earth, such fish cannot accept such comfort for it. Somehow, every living being must reach and live in a place to suit its needs. The Divine Mother has created such environments for every being in this universe. All beings in this universe, created by the Divine Mother, seek happiness. To be indulged in happiness is the root cause of all living beings.

In this universe, living beings do not always get happiness. Happiness and sorrow are mixed for them. A fish on earthly surface, if it can get to watery surface, it gets happiness and calm; even if the water level is not covering its half body, the fish is satisfied. When it reaches water to cover its full body, it gets reignited.  If it can get to a deep-water condition, it swims around happily. In a sea level, that fish is fully satisfied.

Depending upon the temporary places, the living beings try to get satisfaction, like a micro level being trying to mature to higher level. Nature gives more such opportunities. The Divine Mother’s universal scheme is to reduce sorrow and to increase happiness for all universal beings. Depending upon the maturity level of beings, such sorrowful reductions come in. Also, by seeking the Divine Mother, the souls get some levels of happy state. For those who attain the Divine Mother, get full sorrow elimination and increased happiness. This is the goal of all souls. The Divine Mother, by granting happiness to universal beings, is called the giver of happiness or Sukha Kari.

She grants happiness. She is the spouse of Shiva who holds the auspiciousness within Him. She converts the living being’s sorrow into happiness, and She is called Sukha Kari.

The reasons for happiness are physical and spiritual in nature. The Divine Mother gives happiness to Her devotees based on their actions of dharma and justice.

The Divine Mother gives happiness.
