Guest guest Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 search for information about the Goddess Jyoti, sister of Skanda and Ganesha. According to what I know so far, Jyoti is the Vel or weapon given by Devi to her son Skanda for the fight against the daemon Surapadman. She was born of one spark of light from her mother's forehead and represents the female principle of light. Shiva as Nataraja carries Jyoti in his left hand as fire. I have also read that sage Agastya has written a devotional composition (Shodasam) about Jyoti. Does someone know where to find more details about Jyoti Devi, her Yantra, Nyasa, etc.?
