Smitha mukhim Aapina vakshoruham

Smitha mukhim

Who always has a captivating smile. The usage of the term is very direct and even a layman too can understand this. But again why? There are 9 rasas or qualities (moods) which can be expressed by humanbeings. Why particular this smitha? (sometimes its also known as Mandhasmitha- mild laugh). We always says to girls as "be cheerful" (Eppavume sirichunde irukkanum), which is a sign of prosperity. Here, ambal too is like this only. When we are approaching a person to share our sorrows and to take a relief, and if the person is in anger or out of his mood, will we approach him? So ambal is in the very form like this with pleasent welcoming face and on just thinking of her like this itself will get rid of all our sorrows.

Also here is another explanation, on seeing the sorrows and fed-ups of the jeevathmas which are noone but her own children, she is just smiling (in a way), to hint that why these poor humans are getting sorrows with them, when am there to save them. But not knowing this and forgetting me, all these humans are felling into maya and making themselves prone to sorrows. Seeing on this, our matha is smiling.

who has high and firm breasts

Matha has firm breasts which means the richness and quality of her motherhood. As in relation with her smiling face, she is ready to milk and feed all her children, but they are not actually willing to get it. With her feeding, sambandha has became Gnanasambandhan. How? because the milk of our matha is filled with knowledge (Once again this proves that this part of dhyana is for her form as "Saraswathi"). The firm breasts are the sign indicated by the vasini devathas to the sadhaka about the mentality of our amba and also how the sadhaka should approach her (like the child approaching the mother). In tamil, a proverb "Azhudha pillaikudhan paal kidaikum, which means only the crying baby gets its milk. Here, the sadhaka should also cry for the grace of mother. No rituals, no poojas, no royal decorations, no fasting, nothing is needed. As she is the mother, just a simple cry is enough to call her and makes us to feed with her knowledge-milk.

NOTE: In Meenakshi amman temple (Madurai), everyday night after finishing the arthajama pooja, milk will be kept in the bedroom of swami-amman and next day morning it will be provided to devotees as "Thirumulaipaal". Having this milk on wednesday is said to be a remedy for "BUDHA DOSHA". Infact, budhan is the responsible planet for "Budhhi" (Knowledge-studies-etc)
