Salutations to the Mother, who is in the form of the letter Ka. ka is synonymous with Brahman who
created the Universe. Devi is the manifestation of Kadi Vidya. It is the first letter in the Panchadasi
Mantra. It comes first among syllables and nourishes the other syllables. Ka means Brahma, Water, Head,
and Happiness. Brahma who controls the Universe. Water, life giving source to other living forms. Head
is the place where Amrutham (nectar) is stored in all living beings. In Yogins when the Kundalini rises
from Mooladhara to Sahasrara, Kulamrutham is emitted which fiows through the 72,000 channels in our
body. This is where Shakthi from Mooladhara meets Lord Siva in Sahasrara and the Yogi attains
Liberation. According to the Vedas, Kam, Ram and Ham means she is the Happiness in the Chidakasa
manifesting as Happiness in the Dhaharakasa.This is how Ka gives Liberation through Sri Vidya Mantra.
One who preaches Ka syllable becomes Siva himself. Ka is the Auspicious one , giver of pleasure. Doing
the Archana whole heartedly, with kumkum, Akshathas, and Flowers and Bilva leaves gently with
devotion to the Idol, Vilakku (lamp), SriChakra, and Meru, bestows the grace of Devi on her Devotees.
Namaha means "nothing is mine, every thing is yours'.
Ka deals with the infinite. It is used when one is unable to describe adequately the Anantha kalyana gunas
(vast giories of the Goddess) of the infinite. KA represents Light, pranams to Devi who is that Light.
2. Om kalyaanyai Namaha
Salutations to the Mother, who is Blissful Auspiciousness (sukha swaroopini). In this Universe, from the
blade of Grass, smallest insect, to the higher forms, all seek Sukham or Pleasure, be it a Sadhu, king or
Brahman. The pleasure we seek is like droplets in an Ocean compared to the Mother, who is the Ocean of
Bliss. Pranams to the Devi who is the Manifestation of Pleasure and Auspiciousness.
3. Om kalyaana Gunasaalinyai Namah:
Salutations to the Mother, who has the attributes of True Motivation (sathya sankalpa) and True Desire
(sathya aasai). The Vedas proclaim that she is -kevalam- Absolute and is a Witness. The Sahasranama
says that she is Nirguna -meaning attributeless, without any form. However, it is not wrong to imagine her
in Saguna form. The Devi bestows her grace on Devotees who worship her with these above mentioned
qualities. Devotees should identify these qualities with her as SHE is indeed the manifestation of these
qualities.
4. Om kalyaana Saila Nilayaayai Namaha:
Salutations to the Mother, who dwells on the Mountain of Auspiciousness. Kalyaanam, means Happiness,
Pleasure. Devi is the embodiment of pleasure without any traces of pain, She dwells in us in the

5. Om kamaneeyaayai Namaha:
Salutations to the Mother, who is the Epitome of Love. She is the abode of Happiness and Pleasure. In

supreme Love and the pinnacle of Pleasure is enchantingly Beautiful and Divine Atma Swaroopam and

four kalas in the moon. The Moon, which is known as Chandrakala, is worn by Devi as a Crown on her
fore head. Kalas also mean parts of our body like Head, Arms and Legs. She gives Darshan to her
Devotees in her Saguna form with all the Limbs when they meditate on her.

nose, taste with our tongue and feel with our skin. These five Jnanendriyas are called Akshi. It is Devi

human ills.

aroma. As in Lalitha sahasranama*Karpooraveetikaamodha samaakarsha diganthara.

an ordinary person can never enter the Cave seeing the Ferocity and roars of the red eyed Lion. But a
Mahaveera, an undaunted person can enter the cave fearlessly, and the Lioness in turn gives him the
priceless Pearls, which produced from its Claws. In the same way, Devi is not accessble to people who are

the origin and who dwells in the Vedas leads us to their Existence.
278. Om Labdha Bhogaayai Namaha
Salutations to the Mother, who gets her desired Pleasures and Comforts. Bhogam is expierence of
pleasure. Happiness normally comes after some suffering. Devi is the only one without any barriers or
obstacles, who is the personification of Happiness. What we usually enjoy is transitory, the moments stay
the Vedanta, that deal with the transcendental supreme Being beyond all names and forms and devoid of
all qualities. The true meaning of Vedas is Upanishads. Vedam tell us that Devi swaroopam is Hreem.
Vedam gives us the knowledge about every thing and so is Hreem which makes us know every thing.
Hreem is Devi's Brahma swaroopam.She is known through Upanishads. Vedas Jnana kandam is
Upanishads, which gives importance to Salvation and Karmas better than any other Scripture. So, Devi is
more important than Hreenkara. Upa means nearness, nishta means telling us. So, Upanishads take jiva to
the ParaBrahman. This is to make the Jiva think that he is the Parabrahman, to finally get absorbed in
Brahman. That is why Hreem is compared to the Vedam, which is Brahma Jnana Roopam and Devi is
compared to the Upanishads.
295. Om Hreenkara Dwara Dakshinaayai Namaha

the yaagam. Devi is like the Dakshina, the fruit of the yaagam called Hreenkara. The Dravya tyagam
(rice, ghee.and other things what we put in the Homa kundam) offered to the deities is called yaagam. The
oblations offered to the fire in the kundam is called Homam. The performers of the Homam called,
Rithwiks, are given the Dakshina within the yaaga shaala it self. The things we give out side the
yaagashaala is called Daanam (charity). The yaagam where the cooked rice is not offered to the fire and
where Dakshina is not given is called Thaamasa yaagam, written in the seventeenth chapter of Gita.
296. Om Hreenkaaraananda Naaraama Navakalpaka vallaryai Namaha

Bhuloka. They are much better because they don't wilt or get dried and are fresh and fragrant all the time.
Devi is like the Karpaga creeper who gives fruits to the bhakthas according to their Upasana and karma.
In the mind (manas) of the Bhakthas who do the japa of Hreem is like that of the garden of Hreenkara,
where the karpagam creeper called Lalithambikai is forever giving her Saguna and Nirguna worshippers
all that they desire.
297. Om Hreenkaara Hima Vadhgangaayai Namaha
Salutations to the Mother, who is the icy flowing Ganges from the Himalayan peaks called Hreenkara.

the snow peaked mountain of Hreenkara, as Ganges. Here, Devi is compared to the Ganges. Because
Hreem is associated with Amrutham which is very cold, Devi associated with Hreenkara is also cold like
the Amrutham giving her nectar like grace to the piligrims who come to wash away their sins in the holy
Ganges. The sacred Rivers can remove only the sins but Devi can destroy all sins and ignorance, the root
cause of all the sins. Devi is the Supreme purifier.
298.Om Hreenkaaraarnava koustubaayai Namaha
Salutations to the Mother, who is the Kouthubamani ,a very precious stone, which is given birth by the
Ocean bed called Hreenkara. Kousthubhamani has more lustre than the other gems because we get it from
the Ocean of Milk. In the same way Devi shines brilliantly in the Hreem mantra. Lord Vishnu who wears
the Kouthubaha mani is given importance as Goddess Lakshmi's huband and it makes him the primary
God among the Devas too. So , when Devi, who comes from the Ocean of Milk is worshipped in the
hearts of the Bhakthas, the devotee gets the pride of being equally important as Lord Vishnu himself. This
is a belief.
The four chakras of Siva and the five chakras of shakthi become the nine chakras. The Srichakra is the
body of Siva and Shakthi.
