28. Pancha Easwara Kruthyam / 5 fundamental functions of divine mother Paramathma.

Creation (Srushti), Sustain (Sthithi), Withdrawal (Samhara), Concealing (Thirodhana), Divine Gracious (Anugraha). Keeping this as its primary object – in Sri Lalitha Sahasranama Sthothram all these five functions were signified in five Manthras itself, viz: Sri Matha (Srusthi), Sri Maharagni (Sthithi), Sri Madh-Simhasaneswari (Samhara), fourth to nine hundred ninety nine mathras signifies Thirodhana and finally Sri Lalithambika, the 1000th Manthra representing Anugraham.

29. Brahmam / Maya / Jeeva

Due to the influence of Maya (Delusion), Brahman becomes Jeeva / changing its status to (Soul). The Jeeva has 3 main bad qualities viz: Ego (Anavam), Delusion (Manyika) and Action (Karmic) which bound the Jeeva to not realize that it is Brahman itself, who is none other than Siva / Parasivan itself. In other words, afflicted Siva himself is Jeeva.

30. Conclusion of Adhvaitha Vedantham

Nothing exists other than Brahman, however, when the Brahman manifest (being its duty) it joins hands with un-true Jeeva and Universe (Prapancham). When Jeevan starts its journey to reverse these phenomena it will become Brahman again. This means the transmigration is absolutely over.

38. According to Sri Hayagriva’s advise to Sri Agasthya that Sri Lalitha Sahasranamam should be chanted or worshiped like your Nithya Karma (Daily Duties), hence no exeption.

39. Only through Sakthi Upanasana a seeker can realize Para Siva, who is Moksham itself, why?

Realizing Siva is Moksham (Effulgences, Motionless, no act, nothingness, absolute etc are actually Siva). Whereas when Thri Dosha (Anavam-Kalmam-Karmikam) afflicts on Siva, the Siva immediately changes its status to Jeeva. Hereafter the Jeeva’s journey to start going back to realize its original Siva status. Please note these three Malaas (Doshas) are independent in this universe (they are floating in this universe, freely, that is why they attack/approach/observed to Siva/light/Chaithanya). Now, the truth is that ever since Srusthi/Creation started…immeditely the Siva merged with Sakthi (in fact that is called manifestation). Therefore, to find out / realize Siva there is no alternate route other than seeking the help of Sakthi to identify its Siva Chaithanyam.
