Guest guest Posted December 14, 2003 Report Share Posted December 14, 2003 Hello, I search for information about the Goddess Jyoti, sister of Skanda and Ganesha. All the information I could collect so far comes from the sites http://murugan.org/jyoti.htm and http://murugan.org/jyoti2.htm. According to what is written there, 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 the devotional composition Shodasam about Jyoti. Now I try to find more details about Jyoti Devi, her Yantra, Nyasa ritual, etc. Is there any book that one of you could recommend?
