A note on what Srimata means…
Sri - Auspicious
Mata - Mother
There are various forms of Divinity. Sunlight is one, and it embeds in its spectrum various hues. Each specific power of the Limitless Divine is visualized as a deity. Invoking the Motherly aspect of the genderless, nameless, formless, infinitude that we call God-Consciousness is of immense use because it brings forth tenderness, nurturing, and a layer of “mothering”, which ensures that one’s spiritual ascension is suitably paced and comfortable.
As the Goddess represents the Womb of the universe from which everything arises and into which everything disappears, if one is aligned with this energy, there is nothing that is impossible. The energy of the Goddess grants abundance, love, health, and longevity, and for those that are serious and are willing to put in the work, Enlightenment.
There are countless forms of the Divine Feminine - Lakshmi, Kali, Athena, Sekhmet, Mariam, etc. These are all like the rays of the sun. Then what about the Sun itself, the source of all these rays? If one were to approach the highest aspect of God-Consciousness as the Mother, and abstract it as close to nameless-formless-bliss-embodied Infinitude, that would be Srimata (shreemaataa) - simply meaning the Great Mother. This is the aspect very close to formlessness, but still embodying aspects of a name and form, which are of significance for the manifestation of worldly desires. This is the form of the Great Goddess that embodies in itself every known and unknown form of the Divine Mother (needless to say, Father accompanies the Mother as they are two aspects of the same coin )
The name Srimata is considered very powerful and is a mantra in itself. The name encodes in itself a hidden seed sound of the Goddess. Ancient commentators have elaborated on the glories of this name and have described it as having the same essence as OM - which is more static while this one is more dynamic.
