249. Om panca-pretasanasinayai namah: I bow down to Amma who sits on the seat formed by five corpses
"Brahma, Visnu, Rudra, Isvara and Sadasiva are the five corpses here. They are also known as the five Brahmas. Brahma conducts his task of creation by the power known as vamasakti obtained from Devi; without it he is as powerless as a corpse. Similarly, Devi's sakti is indispensable to Visnu, Rudra, Isvara and Sadasiva in performing their tasks. Without it they are all like corpses. One becomes a corpse when the inner Existence leaves. The five corpses may refer to the five elements (bhutas) in creation: earth, water, fire, air and space. Devi, who is pure existence, abides in this universe made of these five elements. She is pancapretasanasina in this sense also"
The Thousand Names of the Divine Mother by T.V Narayana Menon
I love the line about Devi being pure Existence. That's Amma, isn't it? She is existence in the true sense of the word for us. Life and living is really all about Her. With our minutes and moments dedicated to Amma, our entire existence centers around Amma. And isn't this just the perfect way to live? We are truly blessed as her children because we have a Mother who is constantly showing us the way. She keeps us away from the wrong path. She removes all traces of negativities. She holds our hands and guides us throughout the day. She teaches us that the biggest makers of our destiny, is us. And then She helps us wade through the karmic waters we have dug up for ourselves. Thank you Amma for being there for us. Thank you for starting Your Facebook page!! *LOVE IT!*
Om Amriteswariye namah!
