(455) Sampradaayeshvari संप्रदायेश्वरी -Fount and protector of traditional wisdom. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 710
Sampradaaya is the wisdom, regularly imparted by the teachers to the disciple; Ishvari means ruler. Knowledge is gained by reasoning, through traditions, faith in Guru and intuition. Mother tries to see, that so long as a particular school of religion with certain beliefs and practices of the divine path to reach Her, is not tainted with vice of greed, adultery, hypocrisy etc, it progresses with Her full help and blessings. The secret of success of the initiation ceremony and rituals should be , the intense devotion with which the Guru requests Mother to create a replica of all his powers, knowledge and wisdom to be conferred on the disciple. When however the Guru becomes the usurper of God's powers and the Guru's homages, when he gets deluded that the powers belong to and vest in himself, and when disciples attach more importance to rituals thdn to the actual faith and devotion (in and to God and Guru), the whole institute becomes a soul-less skeleton. Further, as by several leakages of vices the joints get loose, the whole frame work begins to crack, the vitality gradually vanishes, and the whole body begins to give a stinking smell like a corpse, and the whole institute finally gives way, by its own weight of sinfulness and weakness of perverted notions , ignorance and meaningless mechanical practices.

By Mother's Grace, as soon as one institute gets too old, another is brought into being. Mother is concerned with keeping up the religiosity of the universe and not with the superiority and inferiority of a particular institute or religion or the fame of an individual founder. That fighting and quarreling is all man made and meaningless and by half baked people, bigots or fools. 

(456) Sarva-apadvi-nivaarini सर्वापद्विनिवारिणी -Remover of all misfortunes. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 913
This name proceeds to show that, even if one falls while following one path or another, Mother removes all misfortunes, by compassion, on hearing them repeating Her sacred names. This is true , even in cases of those who have fallen as a result of wrongly following the Vaama Path and have already sunk into the most miserable state. It is true even of those who knowingly or unknowingly have misunderstood Her religion and even abused it.
The idea is, once you have enrolled yourself as a Mai-ist, with the belief of God as Mother, and the whole Universe being Her family, and the belief of securing your welfare by Universal Love, Universal Service, Devotion to Mother with unconditional self surrender, even though you may be deluded into hundreds of complications , and are pulled and plunged into viciousness, you will be saved as soon as the remembrance about your original belief, life maxim, and devotion with unconditional cheerful self surrender to Mai, returns.
This name is suggestive of Reclamation by Her on Repentance.
In the Kurma Puraan a reference is made thus, "Those who, forsaking attachment, take refuge in Me, and ever worship me with devotion, who have compassion on all beings , who are tranquil, self-controlled, free from envy, humble ,wise, ascetic, and who keep their minds fixed on Me , and live in Me, and delight in outspreading My mercy and glory, are blessed. It is immaterial , who and what they are. Their darkest ignorance , it is I who dispels ". Still further Mother states, " Those who are devoid of the above stated characteristics , but repeat my name, and are devoted to me , are blessed. I quickly destroy their misfortune, their Karmikc liability and sinfulness, even though in heaps and mountains, by the lamp of wisdom and fire of Grace, in the same birth".
In Harivansha, Vishnu says to mother, "The misery of men proceeds from death, difficulty, separation of relations, loss of wealth,etc. In all these misfortunes, it is Thou alone who protects."
In Varraha Puraana Brahmaa says,"O Mother, for Those who attain Thy Supreme refuge , no misfortunes or dangers arise. The wise also know the remedy, as to what should be done in misfortune . It is, that one should remember the Lotus Feet of the Mother."
"What does that remembrance do ?" " It makes even Brahmaa and other deities to help him, and completely fulfil all his desires , as Mother's Servants to the new surrender".

(457) Maheshvari महेश्वरी- Goddess of Mahesh, i.e., Shiva. ललिता सहस्रनाम स्तोत्र, नाम क्रमांक 750
There are two words in the list of names ,viz., Maheshvari and Maaheshvari. One name has proceeded.
For Mai-ists, the happy way of understanding distinctions of several names of mother, referring to the relationship of Mother and Shiva, is as under.

That power energy of Mother, which has created Brahmaa, Vishnu and Mahesh to be what they are, is Mother energy of theirs.
That power or energy which they enjoy, and a result of which, they are able to do their duties and maintain their positions is the Wife energy, where as that power or energy which proceeds to the devotees, on their propitiation, is their daughter energy. The meaning should be taken as  suits the context, but generally all the three conceptions should be before  the mind.

Thus the shortest name Maheshi may be taken to mean Mother Energy. Maheshvari may mean Wife Energy  and Maaheshvari may be taken to mean Daughter energy proceeding to the devotees. This difficulty does not arise in case of Vishnu and the name Vaishnavi, in the simplest manner, means the Power of Vishnu, the protecting power, without the complication of the wife or the daughter aspect as in the case of Mahesha. This is so , because Vishnu's wife has not attained that stage of accepted motherhood for devotees, as Mahesha's wife Paarvati, as stated in the introduction.

 Besides taking the innermost view, Vishnu or rather Krishna is more like Mother Herself, in the male form and Mahesha is the highest devotee or worshipper of Mother. While one of the names of Mother is HRIM, that of Vishnu is Hari. Between  Mahesh and Vishnu, the former is manlike and husband like and the latter womanlike and wifelike. While reading this remark, which contains view corroborated some times in scriptures and traditions, it should not be forgotten, that under Maiism, husband means the worshipper and wife the wholesale self-sacrificer.A Mai-ist should never harbour any idea of superiority or inferiority between the husband and wife, or the worshipped and worshipper.
