She as Nirguna Brahman brings front her Prakasa aspect in which she herself becomes the mirror to become vimarsha. The same Lalitha Sahasranama which praises Laithambika to be Vimarsha rupini (one who exist in the form of the reflection of the Prakasa), it also praises her to be Sva Prakasa (one who is the self illuminating light itself). That's why She is known as Paraakasa rupini. Sakthi is the eternal space where Siva reflects itself into the universe. Thirumoolar in his Thirumanthiram mentions that Sakthi is the great darkness while Siva is the light in the middle. By tatvas, she is seated one the throne over all the 36 tatvas including the Siva and Sakti, the Nada and Vindu tatvas. She also says that She operates the universe through her Purusha and Prakriti aspects. In the Devi Atharvashisham, Devi herself says She is what the universe knows as Brahman and its Sakthi. This is an effort to understand the saguna Brahman that is easy for manifestation. Kindly go through the Dhyan slokas and also about prakasha and vimarsha forms of the Brahman. Our discussions on the Brahman will also continue. As there are 1000 names, our discussions will continue through several postings. We will shortly take up for discussion each nama or name and understand the meaning. It will be interesting to observe how the kinetic energy of the Brahman functions, as every aspect of the administration of this universe has been discussed in detail in this sahasranamam. Her kundalini form has been beautifully described. If you look at these meanings, you will certainly understand the concept of vimarsha or shakthi form of the Brahman, which is also called as saguna Brahman. These verses are also called mantras and compared to the verses of the Vedas. This thousand namas or names were recited in the form of verses. This Lalitha Sahasranamam is said to have been recited by eight vak devis (vak devis – considered as authorities of sound and verses, Knowledgeable) in the presence of Lalithambigai at Her own request. You can use the google search engine at the end of this site. Please go through the earlier postings to know more about her prakasha vimarsha maha maya swarupini. We have already discussed about her prakasha vimarsha maha maya swarupini form. She is called by various names such as Lalithambigai, Rajarajeshwari, Shakthi, Mother, etc. Her administration is based on the law of the Lord which is called karma. In the same way the Supreme Mother has her own role in sustaining us, in protecting us. Every mother has their own role to play in nurturing her children. That is why we call the earth as mother earth we call the nature as Mother Nature. Shiva also knows (Brahman is the knower of all) that only a woman can take care of this universe, like her own child. Why Shiva has chosen Shakthi? Shiva wanted to create somebody who can nurture this universe with motherly love and affection. Therefore all the activities of this universe are under her control only. Shiva created Shakthi to create, sustain and dissolve this universe.
Since he does not have a parentage, he is called anathi (orphan). Therefore he is called athi or the first.
Shiva is not created by anybody and there is nothing above him in hierarchy. The universe cannot function without the combination of the two. Shiva is nirguna (without qualities) Brahman and Shakthi is saguna (with qualities) Brahman. The prakasha form of the Brahman is called Shiva and the vimarsha form of the Brahman is called Shakthi. She is the vimarsha form and is the cause for illusion or duality. Lalithambigai is the maya part of the Brahman. Lalitha Sahasranamam consists of one thousand names of Lalithambigai.
