[207] चिदग्निकुण्डसंभूता Chidagnikunda-Sambhootaa- Who is born from the altar of the fire of consciousness. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 4
If Mother is such a heroic and Majestic Queen, is She also unapproachable like such queens ? No, just the reverse, She is at your beck and call. From the fire of devotion of a devotee that burns within his heart uninterruptedly, without fuel, and dispels the darkness of desire and attachment to other things and other persons , She at times bursts forth. Devoted heart is a fire because it consumes the sins and evils of the Universe and Mother abides in that fire, though not born from it.
Mother has often appeared from the physical altar of religious sacrifices as well. Thus run some of descriptions - " Out of the sacrificial fire, slowly arose a woman divinely beautiful, adorned with divine ornaments and bright as the moon. She was Mother, the only one , the supporter of the Universe, equal to whom there is none ". Again we have '' Then the devotees constructed a very beautiful sacrificial altar and the devotees offered their body, mind and soul as oblations. When they were about to offer up the whole of their bodies, there appeared a great blaze of light, bright as millions of suns and cool as millions of moons put together; in midst of this light was seen an indescribable wheel-form ( Shree Chakra ); and from its centre the Great Mother shining like the morning sun dawned forth. On beholding the great Mother, the souls of all were filled with ecstasy and they bowed to Her again and again."
[208] चिदेकरसरूपिणी Chidekarasarupini - The one ocean of all intelligence brought to a homogeneity.ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 364
The idea is this. Consider a lake in which all people put in good and bad things. The lake as a whole, malarias or of decease-removing property, is equally effective to all. Any man who does a good action or thinks a good thought adds to the permanent lake, and She is the master of all the workings in this lake, and of the universal homogeneous influence of this lake.
[209] चिंतामणिगृहान्तस्था Chintaamanigrihaantasthaa - Residing in a house built of Chintaamani. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 57
Chintaamani is that jewel which yields all the objects desired to the possessor, as soon as he meditates on Mother and makes the demand about the thing desired.
[210] चिन्मयी Chinmyi - In the form of consciousness. CHAITANYA, Intelligence or sentience. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 251
[211] चेतनारूपा Chetanaarupaa - In the form of consciousness. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 417
Shakti is Chaitanya itself.Devotees meditate upon that primeval Vidya, which is in the form of Chaitanya of all, and which guides their senses.
[212] चैतन्यकुसुमप्रिया -Chaitanya-kusuma-priyaa - She is fond of Chaitanya flower. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 919
This means that Mother is fond of hearts as soft, delicate, sweet and fragrant as flowers. Some narrate the above stated eight substances as flowers, but penance and sense-restraining and wisdom are unfortunately substances too hard to justify being called flowers. I therefore prefer a little departure.
The idea underlying this word is that having gone through penance and sense-restraining practices, etc., if the devotee turns cynic or hateful to others or looks upon the universe with an attitude of displeasure, disappointment or dissatisfaction, He is still immature.
According to Mother's Ideal he who has a hatred towards ignorance, passion, wickedness, cruelty and other evils of the universe is still Katchaa कच्चा (immature). Evil must not remain as evil to him. When everything is joy creative, when nothing but good remains, then it is that Mother is fully pleased.
She is pleased with the flower of the soul of Her devotee. Devotee must not be austere-looking or getting boisterous at the evils of the universe, etc.
The higher meaning full of devotional ecstasy is that She is pleased by simply looking at the sweet flower-like (chaitnya - चैतन्य ) face of Her devotees. As a Mother the very fact that Her devotee is happy is enough to make Her happy, without any other expectation of service or worship or return of any kind from the devotee.
When a man is in a foreign country the Mother passes anxious days for his return.When he returns, the very sight that he has come hale and hearty is more than enough to drown the Mother in an ecstasy of joy. She is pleased only with the fact that he has returned lively (alive), for which the son deserves no credit. Mother's heart says," Harass me remaining alive, but do not relieve me by dying." Chaitanya चैतन्य means life, livingness.
[213] चैतन्यार्घ्यसमाराध्या Chaitanyaarghya-samaa-raadhyaa - She is to be worshipped by the Arghya अर्घ्य means water mixed with holy substance for dedication to Mother. This Arghya should be your own mentality, your own consciousness. It should be Arghya; your mentality should be liquefied and not hard as solid. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 918
The Arghya अर्घ्य must be flavoured with eight holy substances. First non-injury, second sense-restraining, third pity, fourth compassion, fifth wisdom, sixth penance, seventh truth and eighth meditation.
छ
[214] छंदसारा Chhandahsaaraa - ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 844
Chhanda means metre or unrestrained conduct. She is the essence of metres, viz., Gaayatri. She is the essence of all joy arising from unrestrained conduct, which is merely a shadow of the joy proceeding from Her. Chhanda also means craving for unrestrained conduct. The highest joy resulting from unrestrained limitless craving, is when is one arising, from madness after Mother.

[215] जगतीकंदा Jagatikandaa - Seed of the world.ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 325
[216] जगध्दात्री Jagaddhatri - Supporter of the world. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 697
The firm bridge for the sake of preserving order of the beings, as a Mother of family.
[217] जडशक्तिः Jadashaktih - She is the energy of the inanimate creation and inanimate things. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 418
Thus both Chaitanya and Jada, sentient and insentient, is She.
An object is and becomes what it is by its own energy. Every object even though inanimate has its own energy and is able to exert a certain influence and produce a certain effect or change.
The energy is generally dependent on and borrowed from the Chaitanya Shakti in close proximity. As an instance, a mirror has the power of enhancing the practice of concentration through inanimate.
[218] जडात्मिका Jadaatmikaa - She that is the soul of the objective world. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 419
She is insentient Mother as well.
[219] जननी Janani - Mother. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र,नाम क्रमांक 832
Some read this with the previous word in the text and take one of the names of Mother to be Brahma-janani. This explains the Mother's Lodge view. Some ask " Is Mother the Mother of Krishna who is represented to be Poorna (Perfect) and of Shiva ?"
Mother's Lodge explains thus," Consider some deity, Mother of that deity, Mother of that deity's Mother, and so on. You must come to some end.That Finalmost Mother is the Mother of the Mother's Lodge.. Highest variety that the Hindus can conceive of is Brahmaa. Mother's Lodge says , " If Brahmaa has Mother, the Mother of the Lodge is the Mother of Brahmaa." There must an origin from which all this has originated and origin means Mother.
Taking the Puraanic view even when Naaraayan is sleeping, Lakshmi, although represented to be shampooing is awake.It is worldly foolishness to infer that the shampooing entity is inferior.
