Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 529 Shri Sarva varnopasobhita (ōṃ sarvavarṇōpaśōbhitāyai namaḥ)

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

The Divine Mother’s Representative Yakini yogin residing in Brahmarandhra in the thousand-petaled lotus is radiant in many colours. 

Yakini Devi is decorated in all colours. There are seven basic colours, visible to our human naked eyes (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet). It is the glory of the Divine Mother to have so many colours. We cannot count the colours of the flowers in the world. One colour matching to another colour increases the beauty, which is a miracle. When we analysis this, we can understand the skills and glories of the Divine Mother. Likewise, some fruits when they become ripe, their changing colours are not countable. The butterfly’s colours are countless. In fishes’ similar miracle of various colours happen. 

Varna also means letter and or sound. The Yakini Devi is sitting in thousand-petaled lotus, the Divine Mother is in sound or nada form also. In sounds there are many forms. Padartham means meaning of words. So, the Divine Mother has various light and sound forms to display Her glories. 

Yakini Devi includes all other six Devi from earlier six-chakras. Dakini and other Devis each having different colours, whereas Yakini Dei has all such colours in Her figure.  A to Ksha fifty lettered shaktis are surrounding Yakini Devi. On reverse order another fifty shaktis, making a total off one hundred shaktis mentioned. They are counted ten times, to make it a thousand shaktis. In this way, one thousand-petals are occupied by shaktis. If these syllables or letters are repeated many times, we will get countless number of shaktis in those lotus petals and Yakini Devi resides in Sahasrara chakra.

              The Yakini Devi as the Divine Mother is

           Residing in thousand-petaled lotus.
