In the realm where divinity resides,\nA truth profound, forever abides,\nMother Lalitha, embodiment of grace,\nInseparable from Lord Siva's embrace.\n\nFrom the root of desire, Siva takes form,\nThe Ichcha, the longing, where love is born,\nIn Lalitha, His yearning finds a home,\nShe's worshipped by Siva, where'er He may roam.\n\nSalvation she bestows, with divine might,\nShe is Siva, the truth shining bright,\nNo difference exists, they're intertwined,\n\u015aiva and \u015aakt\u012b, eternally aligned.\n\nAuspiciousness flows within her core,\nThe very essence that we adore,\nShe is the icch\u0101, desire's purest seed,\nLeading us to self-realization's creed.\n\nThreefold her power, the energies divine,\nIcch\u0101, j\u00f1\u0101na, and kriy\u0101 entwine,\nWhile Siva, the Brahman, desires not at all,\nHis icch\u0101 manifests in Lalitha's call.\n\nWhere Siva resides, there's \u015aakt\u012b so near,\nInseparable forces, forever sincere,\nLike word and meaning, entwined they remain,\nFather and mother, creation's sweet refrain.\n\nUma and Shankara, no difference between,\nThe scriptures declare, their unity serene,\nLalitha, the maya, connected to our soul,\nKnowledgeable, self-illuminating, and whole.\n\nWithout qualities, she exists as pure light,\nDestruction of desires, she brings to sight,\nSupreme Devi, ocean of mercy's embrace,\nShe's Siva, the blissful, showering grace.\n\nIn her presence, the wise find all they seek,\nIntellect blessed, wisdom's treasures they reap,\nTwo points to remember, as truth unfolds,\nLalitha and Siva, a union untold.\n\nThey are one, though worshiped apart,\nIgnorance separates, veiling their heart,\nYet even in individual form revered,\nAll auspiciousness by devotees is cleared.\n\nSo let us embrace the truth that lies,\nMother Lalitha and Siva harmonize,\nIn their oneness, the divine unites,\nGuiding us to transcend earthly plights.\n\n-Mani<\/em><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
