Meaning:- Let us meditate on the Divine Mother Rāja Mātaṅgi, who is parrot green in complexion and adorned with precious jewels of all hues. She appears in a spiritually intoxicated state. She is wearing a garland of kadamba flowers. She holds a musical lute called Vīṇā and adorned in red garments. She is sporting a musk mark on Her forehead and crescent moon on Her diadem. She is wearing earrings made of conch shells and displaying a sweet smile on Her lips. She is the doyen of all arts and holds parrots on Her arms on both sides. She bestows Her grace and fulfills all the desires of Her devotees.
The marks on Her forehead represent the vibrant ājñā cakra, the Vīṇā and the musical notes represent all the sound vibrations manifested in the universe, that can be used for activating all the spiritual channels (nāḍī-s) in the body. The Vīṇā has 24 frets representing the syllables of the Gāyatrī mantra. There are four melody strings that represent the holy Vedas. Also, there are three drone strings on the side, that signify the three nāḍīs or spiritual channels in the body that facilitate the rise of the Kuṇḍalini. They are the central channel Suṣumnā, the right channel Piṅgalā and the left Iḍā. The stem of the Vīṇā itself represents the spine along which the Kuṇḍalini flows. The music from the Vīṇā signifies all the frequencies and wavelengths of the entire Creation. The parrots are reciting the Vedas and all scriptures and describing the various forms of art, to Her listening pleasure. She is Mantrini, the authority of all mantras manifested in the entire Creation. The crescent moon represents the descent of the super-consciousness into energy and matter with the crescent representing the receptacle. The conch shells represent the amplification of the vibrations of the mātṛikā śaktis.

Thank you for your great efforts in spreading knowledge during these 9 days / nights of Śyāmalā Navarātri. Success is quick for those who are extremely energetic. Blessings. OM TAT SAT HAMSAH.

Dear Krishnaji, pranams and deepest gratitude for your dedication over this auspicious 9 days to publish all of Matangi’s mantras. We are indeed fortunate to get this opportunity to experience the raw power and love of these mantras. It’s plainly impossible to truly understand her tantric grace and fathom the mother’s power, but a small glimpse of it inspires us to deepen our practice. Namaste !

Thanks Krishnaji for introducing us various forms of Maa Shyamala/Matangi.
February 24, 2021 04:49 AM
This would not have been possible without your timely suggestion. Thank you very much and we are all glad that many have found this useful.

Mother Shyamala being intelligence & attraction shakti indeed is very very appealing form. I was thinking of requesting you for many many months but asking you to write about mantras/about 9 forms of Mother Shyamala/Matnagi will be abusing your kindness. But while responding to somebody when you said "if there is enough interest I will provide mantras of Ma Tara/Neela Saraswati/Buddhist forms" then I thought let me place my request. But It was a pleasant surprise that you provided so fast. You wrote 10 articles(9 mantras & sri shyamala shodasa nama stotram) in less than two weeks. I can imagine how much effort & time this might taken. Indeed thankful and I still going back to them every day.

It was possible by the blessings of our guru Śrī Raviji and the grace of the Divine Mother Śrī Śyāmalā Devi. Not something I am capable of in any manner. All of what is written here are merely the teachings of Śrī Guru. We are all very fortunate to have him in our midst. The entire Mid-west U.S. and the South including the state of Texas, were under the Arctic blast and we had one of the worst weather conditions in Dallas, Texas. The entire state was reeling under power cuts, water problems and extreme weather. Despite all of this, we did not face any power outage whatsoever and we had water too. It would not have been possible to translate the mantras on a daily basis and post them, especially in times of disaster like the one we faced, if not for Divine assistance and will.

Indeed gratitude to Sri Raviji. I totally forgot on arctic blast. In spite of it you wrote these articles. Without Divine Mother's help it was definitely not possible.

Dear krishna sir ,i dont hav a guru i consider god as sadguru am so much attracted to goddess raja matangi and vancha kalpalatha ganapathi mantra ...can i chant them without initition ...i already did chant them without initiation ....i want to clear a difficult exam ....i want the grace of goddess matangi n vancha kalpha ganapati...since vancha kalpha mantra has panchadasi...i was not initiated before can i chant them ...please do guide me sir

These mantras are not to be chanted without a proper initiation. You may consider the Divine Mother Sarasvatī devī mantras instead. May the Divine Mother guide you through your exams and lead you to greater heights in life. When you are ready, you may consider an initiation to Śrīvidyā and learn all these mantras in a proper manner.

Of all the names of Śrī Rāja Śyāmala, the most important is "Sarvaśaktyāsana" (the one who has all the Śaktis or powers as a seat). Of all the universe, she is the most beloved of the venerable Lalitā. She is so loved by Lalitā that any advice or request made by Rāja Śyāmala is accepted immediately. Rāja Śyāmala carries the symbol of royalty and authorization to do or interfere in anything. Lalitā will never go against the advice of Rāja Śyāmala. In addition to being Lalitā's favorite, she is the favorite and darling of all beings in the universe! No being in this universe will go against her advice or order because she is everyone's darling. She has a very secret name called "Parañjyotisvarūpiṇi". Above Mahāṣoḍaśī, Lalitā has a higher form called "Parañjyoti". Rāja Śyāmala is also the essence of this highest form. Furthermore, Śyāmala brings the simultaneous benefit of worshiping Guru and Lord Gaṇeśa. What obstacle is there for the one who is everyone's darling? How great is the wisdom of the one who is Lalitā's adviser? He is identical with Lalitā, but she chose to worship and serve her, thus maintaining the balance and functioning of the universe. For this, she was praised as "the most important".
