Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 521 Shri Ajna cakrabja nilaya (ōṃ ājJṇācakrābjanilāyai namaḥ)

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

The Divine Mother as Hakini yogin is residing in the Ajna chakra on two-petaled lotus. 

Hakini Devi is residing in two-petaled Ajna, the sixth chakra. The Ajna chakra has special glory with it. When a yogi is meditating, Kundalani shakti starts from Muladhara, through sushumna nadi goes through Svadhishtana, Manipurka, Anahata, Vishuddi chakras and reaches Ajna chakra. By then, the yogi, by the Divine Mother’s grace, gets excellent Chit (knowledge and wisdom), giving him all what he had desired. Yogin should offer this Chit to the Brahman; when he used such chit for his personal needs, as we see these days with some religious Gurus in India, he is bound to lose that Chit knowledge soon. 

Hakini Devi is meditated up on as follows: “We meditate on Hakini, residing between the eyebrows, in the two-petaled Bindu-lotus. She is white in colour, holding Jnana mudra, drum, lotus, mala (necklace) of rudraksa beads and skull. She is six faced, three eyed, attended by Hamsavathi and one other shakti, fond of food seasoned with turmeric and bestowing good on all others.”
