Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 I'm sure the moderators can provide more information, but here are a few links from the Shaktisadhana homepage/website: The image that caught your eye is from this page: http://shaktisadhana.50megs.com/DEVI/maatangi.html Also see the footnote at the bottom of this page: http://shaktisadhana.50megs.com/shaktatantra.html , "tang/tangchikhay" <tangchikhay> wrote: > [....] could someone tell > me something about her [Devi Rajamatangi].

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 Hi Tang: *** Is she the tantric Goddess Saraswati? *** Yes. *** or the malevolent side of Goddess Raje Rajeswary? *** No, Lalita Tripurasundari is Brahman, and Rajarajeshwari is Lalitha as ruler of all that is; Queen of Creation. The Queen's Prime Minister is Rajamatangi, just as Her Commander in Chief is Varahi. In Srividya upasana, they are the central trinity. Hope that helps. Thanks also to msbauju for sharing those links. ;-) DB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 thanks devi bhakta and msbauju ... and another question for you guys.. i understand that most saktas rely on tantric scriptures for their spiritual authority where else, vasihnavas and saivites (to a lesser extent) are more towards vedic and puranic inclination. Which scripture is the best for the saktas? i have read the devi bhagavat... thanks ciao tang , "devi_bhakta" <devi_bhakta> wrote: > Hi Tang: > > *** Is she the tantric Goddess Saraswati? *** > > Yes. > > *** or the malevolent side of Goddess Raje Rajeswary? *** > > No, Lalita Tripurasundari is Brahman, and Rajarajeshwari is Lalitha as > ruler of all that is; Queen of Creation.

These are the central Devi works in the puranic literature. The tantras have a whole separate body of literarue on Devi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 5, 2005 Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 Sure any thousand names is a great practice. Try to memorize them. It can be done, and then it's very satisfying to think the names during trying situations. Consider that it's like watering the situation so that it blooms better and faster. Miracle Grow on life if you will. - manoj_menon Thursday, May 05, 2005 6:55 AM Re: Devi Rajamatangi , "tangchikhay" <tangchikhay> wrote: > thanks devi bhakta and msbauju ... and another question for you > guys.. i understand that most saktas rely on tantric scriptures for > their spiritual authority where else, vasihnavas and saivites (to a > lesser extent) are more towards vedic and puranic inclination.
