nilasara
How is it a wayward path when you see even lakshmi’s sahasranama has one of her names literally listed as “yakshini” ?
It says it literally right here?
aṣṭādaśachatuṣṣaṣṭhipīṭhikā vidyayā yutā ।
kāḻikākarṣaṇaśyāmā yakṣiṇī kinnarēśvarī ॥ 60 ॥
and on top of this Nilapataka is surrounded by yakshinis as well which is listed clearly on this same exact site. So if its such a wayward path to be curious about why these Guardian wealth spirits are mentioned next to devi, as devi or even can be worshipped as devi I think I’ll be wayward and not blindly follow random and incredibly modern perspectives that simplify this world to one path :)
I want help from someone who isn’t afraid to explore more of devi and not someone who succumbs to the fear of the feminine because of male dominated phases in spirituality. This forum also states that it’s open to all levels whether you are a layperson or even someone like me to discuss Sri Vidya.
If in the Devi Khadgmala, Lalita is also Maha Lakshmi and Maha Lakshmi is Yakshini then I think I have a whole nother level of validation for this path and curiosity that your comment did nothing to support.
Om Sri Matre Namah
