Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 519 Shri Mudgaudanasakta citta (ōṃ mudgaudanāsaktacittāyai namaḥ)

Namams 475 to 534 represents the Divine Mother’s Yogini forms.

 

The Divine Mother as Sakini yogin in the Muladhara chakra on four -petaled lotus. She is fond of mudga (a lentil) made food offerings; mudga is green gram. Pongal. 

Mudga is the key ingredient in preparation of Mudgaudanam, especially liked by Sakini Devi. It is prepared as follows: 32 parts raw and non-boiled rice, 16 parts of mudga, 8 parts of Jaggeri or raw sugar, 8 parts of shredded coconut, 2 parts pepper, one part salt, half part cumin (Jeeragam), 8 parts of ghee, mixed with cow milk is cooked in light fire to make a mudgaudanam. Sakiini Devi is very fond of mudgaudanam. 

It is very nutritious food which the Divine Mother likes very much; the humans put in extra efforts in preparation, which becomes correct for offering to the Divine Mother, when that is offered as prasadam and later taken by the humans. It helps them to seek divine guidance, which is essential for his maturity towards Brahman.
