Like Vishnu, she is heavily adorned with ornaments like necklaces, anklets, earrings, bangles etc. She holds Shankha (conch), chakra (Discus), mace and lotus and bow and sword or her two arms are in varada mudra (Blessing hand gesture) and abhaya mudra (“No-fear” hand gesture).

Somehow Saptha Matrika deatil post has been delayed. He had asked for some Mantras and I have published them. He has been asking for this for the past two months, One of my readers has been asking for a detailed Post on the Saptha Kanyas. Lalitha Sahasranama was composed at Thirumeyachur in Tamil Nadu by the Yoginis of Goddess Laitambika, at Her Command. She is described as Matruka varna Rupini-Lalitha Sahasra Nama. In this system one worships god as Mother. This is a Goddess who through Her various incarnations conquered many demons, the most formidable ones being lust, anger, greed, pride, jealousy and despair.Hinduism tretas God in the form of Mother. We share the benefits of this practice with all beings long after this intense 1.5 hours of recitation. 8 syllables at a time, I chant, the group repeats and we go through the text in 1.5 hours.

As complex as the text might look, the humble oral tradition reigns supreme, everyone is able to join in. For many, this has been their very first time doing any chanting! And it works. In the last 4 years that I have been offering this practice, I receive all levels of practitioners. Her beauty manifests as the world around us. She wears the Sun and the Moon as her earrings, The beauty of her feet defeat the beauty of a lotus flower and Her voice is more melodious than Sarasvatī’s veena, Her gait cannot even be compared with that of swans, Her forehead appears like the 8 th day of the moon. There is so much poetic imagery to be enjoyed through Her names. The practice ends and for many it seems like we just started! Then at some point, you will find yourself in a flow, the rhythmic recitation of the verses in anuṣṭubh meter (4 sections of 8 syllables each), will rock you into a gentle trance. Through the practice, you will find yourself out of your comfort zone, starting at what seems to be the deep end, glancing at the page number progressing excruciatingly slowly. It is an offering that takes supreme concentration. The recitation of this magnificent hymn therefore becomes a sacred practice that purifies us and helps remove obstacles that stand in the way of seeing the ultimate Truth.

She is depicted as the quintessence of spiritual sublimity and power and having an enchanting form with manifestations and achievements by way of destruction of the forces of evil and enhancement of the forces of good. Her play consists in creation, sustenance and dissolution of the universe as also the lifting of aspirants from Samsāra – the cycle of births & deaths.
