Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 95: Shri Kula Yogini (OM kulayoginyai namaH)

In Namams 91 to 111, we will be seeing the Divine Mother’s subtle Mantra- Rupam.

The Divine Mother is the Goddess in Kulas.

She is Ultimate Knowledge. She is the one connected with the Kula.

Kula (the Divine Mother) is Muladhara chakra. Akula (Lord Sadasiva) is Sahasrara chakra. Yogic method can help to link the both for the devotee. Joined to Kula are six adara chakras (later Namam 99 will discuss in detail). Kula Yogini resides in all these six chakras.

Further, Kula had been described earlier to have many meanings. All those meanings can be considered  together with Yogini.

The learner, the learning material and the knowledge can be called Kula, the Divine Mother.

He who is seeing, the process of seeing and the thing that is seen at also named Kula.

The measure, measurement, and the material measured have significance as Triputi. The Divine Mother is measuring the universal things and controlling them to put at their relevant states. This key function emphasizes the power of the Divine Mother.

Close meaning of words:

Yogini is a woman who is proficient in yoga; a female yogi

Triputi is the knowledge of three items namely 1. The Lord who is the goal,  2.The path to reach the Lord,  3.The devotee.
