Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 533 Shri Sarvaudana prita citta (ōṃ Sarvaudanapritacittāyai namaḥ)

Namams 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 pleased with all food offerings made to Her. 

The Divine Mother is fond of all cooked foods. To cook the food is a facility available for mankind only in all universal beings; There are many raw food items, like fruits and vegetables which are also offered to the Divine Mother. In previous Namams, we saw specific food for each chakra Devis taking care of specific parts of human body. Yakini Devi takes care of the whom body up-keeping, through semen following through the whole body; the Divine Mother is all pervading the whole body. As such all forms of balanced diet are acceptable to Yakini Devi. 

All the universal beings’ food is acceptable to the Divine Mother. As the Divine Mother likes the cooked food the humans focus more on their favourite food to the Divine Mother. If the humans focus more on their food, they will not gain in their move up to Brahman. Keeping Yogin mentality and taking the prasadam from the Divine Mother (from offered food to her), it helps them in their move towards Brahman. The human ought to prepare the food as an offering alone. To cook good food for offering to the Divine Mother is a form of worship of the Divine Mother. This Namam says that the Divine Mother likes all good food offered to her or She is Sarvaudana prita citta. 

The Divine Mother likes prasadam such as Haridanannam and all other cooked food offered to Her.

The Divine Mother as Annapurna in Varanasi (Kasi).

Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 531 Shri Shukla samsthita (ōṃ śuklasaṃsthitāyai namaḥ)

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

The Divine Mother’s Representative Yakini yogin (in Brahmarandhra) in the thousand-petaled lotus resides in the semen (also called seminal fluid emitted from the male reproductive tract and that contains sperm cells capable of fertilizing the female eggs). 

Shukla is the male bindu; it is life giving semen. Yakini Devi is presiding deity for shukla, which can fertilize the female egg. Shukla is also white or pure or bright; it is used in grading of kama and refers to good deeds that leads to good karma. 

In this universe, the Divine Mother is in all forms, and She takes the shukla form also. The humans should consider that as a great thing. Through pregnancy of the biological mother the humans are born as they earn the criteria for their life eligibility in the universe. It is essential to conserve the shukla which is a good form of the Divine Mother worship. In Mahabharata episode, Bhishma is the best example of such persons. Even the death cannot reach him without his permission; nobody can win over him in the battlefield, due to his strengths gained in his shukla with his brahmachariam. 

Yakini Devi’s residence shukla semen is the place to hold all bodily shaktis. In old age of the beings or humans, this shukla supports the body. The Divine Mother resides in this shukla through Her representative Yakini Devi.

Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 530 Shri Sarvayudha dhara (ōṃ sarvāyudhadharāyai 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 holding all the weapons, meaning countless weapons in Her countless hands. 

A weapon/tool in our context is the skill or materials used to achieve our end results; not necessarily the sharp tools like knife used to hurt or destroy others. For a child going to a school, its books, pen and class-room can be considered as weapons. 

Yakini Devi representing the Divine Mother holds all kinds of weapons. “The one without a weapon is called as half-man” is a saying. A human being brings out his full skills through a weapon. The one without a weapon cannot bring out his ability and skills. Those beings walking, flying, and swimming depending upon their life needs have natural weapons to safeguarding themselves. For a lion, its nails and teeth are the weapons for safeguarding and being aggressive to get food. For a deer, faster running is its weapon to defend itself. All these are representation of the Divine Mother’s glories.

The human is born without any weapon; but he creates innumerable weapons using his knowledge. To analysis the blood, he had made minute equipment. With one shot, he can destroy one village or a town. Depending on the need, the kind of equipment used by humans is very many. Likewise, to manage all universal beings, the Divine Mother uses all kinds of Her glories. In this universe, all the beings use many weapons; the Divine Mother uses such weapons as She plays to achieve Her scheme of things. So, She is Sarvayudhadhara or the one having many weapons.

 

The Yakini Devi as the Divine Mother is

      holding countess weapons

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.

Shri Lalitha Sahasranamam: Namam 528 Shri Sahasra dala padmastha (ōṃ sahasradalapadmasthāyai namaḥ)

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

The Divine Mother’s Representative Yakini yogin is residing in Brahmarandhra in the thousand-petaled lotus above Ajna chakra. 

Beahmarandhra is a hole or opening just above sahasrara chakra, the seven key point Brahamam, the kundalini aims to reach, through earlier six-chakras. 

Yakini Devi resides in Sahasarara lotus. Brahmantham or Sahasarara is the seventh Jnana chakra. In humans, Kundalini is meditating in Muladhara to reach the Brahmam or Lord Shiva. Depending on devotee’s level of Brahmacharyam, Kundalini shakti, stands at sushma nadi opening. 

When Kundalini shakti passes through all chakras and reaches Ajna chakra, he is fully matured. The Divine Mother was initially the Parvati Devi. In Ajna chakra, Kundalini gains full wisdom from Hakini Devi. Himalaya is an example of Jada shakti. In this universe, due to meditation, Jada shakti turns into Chitshakti. From the dimmed light to gradually bright light, Chitshakti gives clarity and wisdom. 

Six faced Lord Muruga is a highly matured soul; Hakini Devi has six-faces and reaches the seven Jnana chakra or Sahasarara; She turns into Yakini Devi. There, the soul, maya shakti and Shiva merge liberating  the soul. Sushma struggled soul ultimately merges with the Brahman to get the liberation. The seventh Jnana chakra has thousand or uncountable petals to represent the wider universe. In that Shiva and Shakti unison happens. So, in Himalaya, there is no sannathi for the Devi; only Lord Shiva sannathi is there. This is the truth about the Sahasarara Brahmam. 

Meditation to Her is as follows: “We meditate on Yakini Devi, residing in the moon of the pericarp of the thousand-petaled lotus in Brahmarandhra, presiding over the semen (also called seminal fluid emitted from male reproductive tract and that contains sperm cells capable of fertilizing the female’s eggs), armed with all kinds of weapons, facing all sides, attended by the list of shaktis of syllables A to Ksha, shining in all colours, fond of variety of food and devoted to the Supreme Shiva.

The Yakini Devi as the Divine Mother is in

  Sahasarara cakra with Shiva in Unison.
