Guruji and GuruAmma in front of Devipuram

131. Śāntimatī


This word has two meanings, 

  1. that She has peace within Her and 

  2. that She has a peaceful mind. 

Śānti means peace and mati means mind, more aptly discrimination. Quiet, discrimination, balance, and harmony are some of the most important characteristics of the Mother.
