Chapter 2 – Srima-nnagaram
Naama Manthram : 55 to 63 (9 Manthram)

The 2nd Chapter is revealing the abode of Divine Mother and what type of seat She holds. She resides in Mighty Celestial Sumeru Mountain, this mountain resides in the Sudha Sagar (Ocean of Nectar). 3 types of Sumeru can be realized viz: 1) our physical body, 2) Mount Kailas and 3) Invisible Celestial Mount, out of these three, one can physically touch and feel first 2 mountains and the third one can be touched only by meditation by way of Bhavana.

This place has 4 peaks, first three peaks are the residence of Brahma, Vishnu & Rudra and the centre of these three the fourth peak that is Divine Mother’s residence (Our heart – having 4 chambers). Her residence is surrounded by a Subtle Island called Manidweep within the seven oceans (Our body is filled with almost 7 litres of liquid mainly in the form of blood). To reach Manidweep one must cross 25 chambers of eternal worlds/properties. Her house name is Chinthamani Graham (Wishes fulfilling place). Her divine seat is shared and supported by Five Brahmas viz: Brahma, Vishnu, Rudra, Maheswara and Sadhasiva, in the same order of Her activities such as Srushti, Sthithi, Samharam, Thirodhana and Anugraha. For human beings, these 5 activities are known as Jagrath, Swapna, Sushuptha, Thurya and Thuryaatheetha (Jeeva’s status). These Brahmas are seated or posited on the four corners like pillars viz: South-East, South-West, Noth-West, North-East and Sadhasiva as a table top. Sri Parasakthi (Divine Mother) sits on top of it.

Whereas our Jeeva’s Five Brahma Aasanaas are the Five Sheaths known as Annamaya Kosa, Praanamaya Kosa, Manomaya Kosa, Vignaanamaya Kosa and Anandhamaya Kosa. In other words whatever the divine power as we too have the same. That is why the Veda says you are That, you are not different from That (Thathwamasi and Asithathwam), however, due to ignorance, we try to differentiate and confuse as our inherited decease. Many human beings never made an attempt to cure this transmigration decease, therefore, we are born with ignorance and continue to be a sick person until next birth. Those who treat and heal get cured and never born again.

She is having Saraswathy and Lakshmi with her two eyes. Therefore devotees wishes are understood by a simple look. This means a true devotee need not submit his wish list to her, all he/she need to do is look at her compassionate divine form and embrace her presence within his/her heart. Usually, a person who posses education/knowledge (Giver – Saraswathy) and wealth/prosperity (Giver – Lakshmi) get fulfilled all his/her wishes with the help of hard work or efforts (Durga). These hormones will emerge in our body those who meditate on her divine form.

Summary: Those who meditate the divine mother’s universal, self-illuminating charmful form in one’s heart, he/she will become divine and attain salvation!
