Introduction
A yogini can be termed as a pious female sage, wife of a sage, and she would be well-versed in yoga, meditation as well as in various spiritual aspects. A yogini can also be described as a form of Ma Shakti Devi, and there are several yogini temples in India. As per Devi Bhagavata Purana, the yoginis are described as the divine attendants or as the supreme manifestations of Ma Durga Devi who were engaged in fighting with the demons Shumbha and Nishumbha. Ma Akkamahadevi, a great female Kannada Saint is also considered as a “YOGINI”.
Sapthamatha are also considered as Yoginis who are also known as Saptha Kannigal are the seven powerful goddesses, who had taken avatars in order to shower their grace to their devotees. The temples of Saptha Kannigal are situated in Tamil Nadu. They are the divine incarnations of Mata Parvati, and by worshipping them is equivalent to worshipping Mata Parvati. They would give all sorts of benefits to us in this earth, and after our death, they would help us to attain SALVATION also. Hence let us worship the Holy Sapthamatha by the way of chanting their mantra, singing their songs and let us be blessed.
The Mantras for Sapthamatha are:
Om Vaishnavyai Namaha
Om Maheshwaryai Namaha
Om Kaumaryai Namaha
Om Aindriyai Namaha
Om Vaarahyai Namaha
Om Narasimhai Namaha
Om Brahmanyai Namaha
‘Om’ is an eternal, universal sound, the Brahman and it denotes the supreme spirit, also called as almighty.
“Vaishnavyai”, “Maheshwaryai”, “Kaumaryai”, “Aindriyai”, “Vaarahyai”, “Narasimhai”, “Brahmanyai” means praising the seven divine mother goddesses, and worshipping them whole heartedly. “Nahama” means offering our salutations and Bowing our head before the great almighty.
