As a Divine Gift to all the readers of Manblunder, Krishna Reddy did a lot of research and with the help of another staunch Devotee of the Divine Mother, Mr.Lorren, together unearthened this very secretive and powerful Raja Shyamala Ashtottaram. All the Devotees may chant these 108 Names during these 9 days and after, to get connected with the Divine Mother and receive her Blessings.

Prologue: The Aṣṭottara Śatanāmāvali (108 attributes) of Śrī Rājaśyāmalā Devi is a brief enumeration of all Her qualities as the Supreme Mother. She is none other than Śrī Lalitā Herself in the mode of representing the intelligence behind the entire Creation and ensuring its continuity through the laws of karma, life, death and rebirth etc. She is the master of the entire Creation and all are answerable to Her. She remains unchanged and yet She is the very essence and content of all sentient beings and the insentient matter, energy and consciousness. She is verily the Parabrahman!

This Aṣṭottara Śatanāmāvali has some variations to the stotram due to differences between various sources. The exact source of this stotram is unknown and the stotram itself is very obscure and kept secretive by the upāsakas. This is the second and most secretive variation of this stotram. It is dedicated to Shri Lorran, a great Śrī Rājaśyāmalā Devi upāsaka who had requested me earlier to publish this stotram. I was unaware of it and it is only by his word and grace, the translation of this stotram has been possible.

The Divine Mother is Mantrini and is the cause of all mantras and their fruition. There is nothing impossible for Her to manifest and She will never disappoint Her sincere devotees. May all Her devotees benefit from this extraordinary and most beneficial stotram and nāmāvali. May the Divine Mother bless us all at all times and particularly in the coming Śyāmalā Navarātris starting on the 22^nd January.

Thank you Krishna for the splendid translation of the 108 names dearest to Mother Mantranāyikā. These 108 names are gems decorating Mother Pradhāneśī's body, names fully capable of exterminating the sins of the entire universe. All obstacles and problems are instantly destroyed, just as piles of poisonous vegetation are invaded and exterminated by the blazing fire. Let's meditate on Mother Saṅgītayoginī sitting on an adamant lion throne. This throne is set on a platform studded with nine precious Navaratna stones. A beautiful bright open red lotus flower rests on the diamond throne on which Saciveśānī is seated. Let the intelligent devotee know that Mother Vīṇāvatī holds Lord Śiva Himself in her hands like a beautiful Vīṇā musical instrument. Let the devotee know that Lord Śiva is unable to produce any sound without Mother Vaiṇikī and her matchless musical abilities. Let the devotee know that when Mother Mudriṇī uses her lotus hands to touch Lord Śiva, beautiful songs are born and countless worlds and beings are created. Let the devotee know that the countless worlds and beings are different songs of Mother Śukapriyā. May devotees not forget the beautiful voice of Sadāmadā. Let's meditate on Śyāmalā who is chanting with magnificent voice, while playing Vīṇā or Lord Śiva. Mother Kadambeśī's voice seems to eclipse the beauty of the music produced by her Vīṇā, proclaiming that she too is the independent power of Lord Śiva, by her own voice and power. Eager to instruct their disciples and the entire world in the best possible way, all circles of Gurus rest at the feet of Mother Padhāneśī. These circles of countless Gurus do not say anything, it is the very voice of Mantranāyikā that echoes through them. Interested in always being the most intelligent and with the knowledge to destroy every possible obstacle, all forms of the incomparable Lord Gaṇapati form a circle at the feet of Mother Kadambavanavāsinī. Lord Gaṇapati made this place his home because he also always wanted to be close to all Gurus and help them in the best way. Oh Mother! Your different colors and weapons are countless, depending on the needs of the devotee. But when you wish to reveal your true essence to the devotee, you become dark as an emerald or sapphire stone and the beautiful crescent moon in your crown gushes bright nectar all over your body. The devotee becomes intoxicated, all-knowing and difficult to understand. Knowledge begins to easily flow uninterruptedly from his mouth. Oh Mother! My praise for you is like a servant gathering flowers from the queen's garden and offering them in her honor. These flowers have no beginning or end. Let your blessings always be upon all who honor you and seek refuge in you. Happy Magha Gupta Navaratri to all!

My dear brother Lorran. I am indebted to you, my Guru Sri Santosh and my dear friend and brother Sri Krishnaji. I have become overwhelmed by the grace of my entire guru parampara and by the instructions of Sri Guruji Prakashanandanatha I have been given Sri Raja Matangisvari mantra. I have given Her my entire heart and Her grace consumes me! She floods me with blue light during my upasana. The secrets of Her manifest reality pour down upon me like jewels from the deepest treasure hall of Lalitambika. I cry everyday with intoxicating awe of Her beauty during dhyana meditation. I have read the above stotra and your comment today and would like to share with everyone what I wrote today to account on Facebook. This is just the surface of what she's shared with me because as you know, it is no easy thing to put into words what She shares with us. I hope you return dear brother. We need you. Jai Ambe Jai Gurudev. By the grace of my divine lover Sri Raja Matangisvari I will reveal a secret. I will try to simplify things as much as possible because our holy scriptures only hint at the nature of the manifest reality. Our tantras and other philosophical texts are way too complicated for most people. What exactly is the nature of creation? Why is the supreme Goddess Lalitambika called the one who plays, and what exactly is She playing? I will tell you the truth. She plays music. All of creation is a symphony. I will also settle another debate I once entertained, namely, do we have free will? Yes, we all absolutely have free will. But there is a symphony that moves everything and we all respond to the music diffently. This is our free will, to move through the web of music freely, but influenced by our samskaras and the endless karmas that affect us for good or bad. Even the effect of the planets are like scores of music that come upon us with their own song. From the supreme Goddess Lalitambika comes every type of music. But the theme of the music is the same, that we all deeply desire to witness the infinite beauty of our Divine Mother. Some choose to hear a love song. Others choose to hear a violent chorus of anger. But the root of all music is the same, a desire to melt into the music of God. We absolutely hate the fact that some songs don't get us to Her, even if we don't know Her. Our consciousness is either limited or through mantra sadhana it becomes unbound and infinite. Our nature is yoga and this is the law of all things. Now why do devotees of Sri Raja Matangisvari have so much power? Because we know exactly what I'm telling you to be true! We know exactly how to play a song that causes an effect that we desire. Mother has given us the instrument to play the music that moves all things towards Lalitambika. How do we get this power? Easy... We are madly in love with Devi. Consumed by her intoxicating beauty. Our love is so strong that Lalita calls us the most beloved. Lalitambika knows that when one has given their entire heart to Sri Raja Matangisvari there can only be beauty that comes from everything we do or say. Our words become mantra. Our music moves the very threads of creation. Our beauty has gravity. For this all secrets are revealed to us. So now you know the truth. It is love and beauty that moves all things. There is only one song that truly gets us to Devi, the mantra that comes from a God realized Guru. Aum and Aim in living symphony. We are all loving awareness, Shiva dancing to the music of Shakti. A love story. Harih Om Sri Gurubhyo Namah.

I know you don't write much anymore, so I really appreciate this even more. Namaste Lorran Ji, a big thanks to you as well. May the Divine Mother Raja Shyamala bless us all.
