Guest guest Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 In the Yoginis there are these mothers that are known as the higher Yogini: >From the Kaula Sampradaya: HrasvAjanghA talAjangha paralambOnI krostAmukhi dirghajangha lambodarmukhI there are many others but their names are to be kept secret, so I cannot reveal them. Yogini, well yoginis are just like dakinis, shakinis, hakinis and kakinis they are the mothers that lead to the supreme mother. We all know there is no hierarchy amongst goddesses each are equally as important, potent and powerful but there are three goddesses known as the principle these the consorts of the trinities are worshipped by Yoginis. Yoginis generally tend to be refined aspects of the goddess and they go back to this original goddess to COMPLEMENT her. Mother is beyond being served and serving. She is shakthi and she is complemented by these many ADHARA SHAKTHIS. It is important for us however to see our chosen diety as supreme (this does not mean they are higher then the other deities however they take precedence in our perspective) and as the ultimate where the other deities complement our ishta but the notion that our istha supersedes other forms is just ridiculous however not fully fallacious. Yoginis are there for this purpose to complement the goddess and mainly help us out in our endeavour to realise the mother. The best mantra to invoke all the yoginis is revealed in the greatest of the Bhuta tantras the ravana krita Uddissa tantra (one of my favourites); this maha Bhutini vidya rules! I seriously mean that it is only of the very few mantras that really give you results without a lot of effort. Getting back to the point when Yogini or any adhara shakthi is invoked they guide and help us in doing the mainstream deva sadhana we do. Knowing so many names is not necessary since it simply means we see duality in forms and the whole concept it from this dualistic perspective we go to the non and then the formless in general.
