71. JWALIMALIKA KSIPTHA VANHI PRAKARA MADHYAKA
She who is in the middle of the fort of fire built by the Goddess Jwalamalini
Jwalamalini means 'one wears a garland of bright flame'. Jwalamalini is one of the most popular Yakshis. She is associated with the powers of mantras and yantras. She carries a chakra, trishul, pennant with fish ensign, bow and arrow, 'pasa' rope, fruit and vara mudhra. She wear a crown with burning flames.Goddess Jwalamalini is none but the divine energy of Lord Shiva. So powerful is Her form that even the gods fear Her and great Yogis crave to perform Her Sadhana in order to banish all obstacles in the path of spiritual development. Yet it is a fact that the Sadhana of the Goddess Jwalamalini has long remained under the cover of secrecy. Gurus would give its knowledge only to the most deserving disciples. Jwalamalini is one of the 15 nithya devis.
The fifteen Nityas are the rays of the Supreme Adya Nitya or Maha Nitya, who is none other than Paraabhattaarikaa Mahatripurasundari. Though the fifteen Nityas resemble Maha Nitya, it is only this great Parashakti, who is ever united with Sri Kameshwara, the supreme Brahman.
Sri Parashakti becomes fivefold in the Bhutas, air, ether, fire, water and earth and by association of each of these with the three Gunas; there are the fifteen Nitya Shaktis who are rayed forth from her. They also represent the Tithis from Pratipat to Purnima or Amavasya. In Srichakra, they are located in the Moola triangle, five at each side of the triangle. To obtain the grace of Sri Rajarajeshwari, the transcendent sixteenth Nitya, it is very much necessary to appease these fifteen deities. The Sadhaka of the fifteen Nityas becomes the abode of Siddhis and happiness. He is cheerful of mind, charitable, merciful, pleasing in appearance, forgiving, contented, free from all anxieties, wealthy and filled with the bliss of the self. He is the possessor of various Siddhis like Khadga, Paduka, Anjana, Nidhi, Bila and control over Devas, demons, Yakshas, Vetalas, Chetakas, nine planets, five elements and so on. The sixteen vowels of the Matrika represent the sixteen Nitya Shaktis. The consonants, 36 in number (considering them severally and as a group), represent the 36 Tatvas. The nine groups into which the letters are divided are the nine Nathas or the great Srividya gurus. The Nityas are identical with the universe, Srividya, Srichakra, Sri Lalita, Guru and the Self. The climax of the Nitya worship is in Para Homa, which marks the sudden revelation of Sri Maha Shodashi Nitya.
