Dear All,
Greetings and Namaste. As Sri Devi Matangi Jayanti falls on 15-May-2021 (as per some traditions today 14-May), I am delighted to share a rare 5-stanza prayer on Goddess Devi by Lord Brihaspati taken from Srimad Devi Bhagavatam, Skandha 6, and Chapter 8.
Goddess Matangi is considered the 9th Mahavidya among the 10 Mahavidyas and considered the tantric equivalent of Goddess Sarasvati. In some traditions, the 10 forms are equated with 10 Avatars of Mahavishnu and Matangi is associated with Buddha Avatar.
Matangi has several forms such as Raja Matangi, Rajashyamala, Ucchista Matangini. Kamakhya Temple is one of the most promient shrines of Matangi Devi. There is at least one Ashtottaram, two Sahasranamas and one Kavacham. I think there is a separate sahasranama for Shyamala and Rajamatangi.
May We Pray To Devi Matangi with this short and sweet prayer!
With best regards and pranams,
K. Muralidharan
