** Our Devi of this Week *** Sri Vijaya Nithya Devi **

[Guest guest]

Sri Vijaya Nitya has a body lustrous red like that of the rising sun.

She has five smiling faces in each of which are three eyes and she

has ten hands. Her raiment is yellow. She bears a brilliant crown and

on her forehead a crescent moon. She is decked with all kinds of

ornaments. In her left hands, she carries conch, noose, shield, bow

and white lily. In her right hands, she carries Chakra, goad, arrows

and a citron fruit. When she is invoked for the purpose of victory

over an enemy, she is terrific in appearance but in daily meditation,

she is conceived in a benignant aspect. She is seated on a lion and

is surrounded by Shaktis seated on tigers. A self-controlled Sadhaka

who worships her in her Chakra becomes happy in every way. She also

grants success in debates.

 

Her mantra is: OM vijayaadevyai vidmahe mahaanityaayai dhiimahi tanno

nityaa prachodayaat
