Devi Shodashi is the third Dasha Mahavidya and also goes by
the name of Tripura Sundari, Lalita Devi and Raja Rajeshwari. An informative Wikipedia article
can be found at : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripura_Sundari
.
She is the main deity of worship for Sri Vidya Upasakas. I
have NOT been initiated into Sri Vidya Pancha Dasi or the Shodasi mantras by
any guru; no one would initiate me. However, I still worship Tripura Sundari
Devi, since She gives me happiness. And I worship Her to thank for all of the
great things She has done for all people everywhere. Those people that have
received Pancha Dasi or Shodasi mantra deeksha are indeed blessed souls and
must have done a lot of penance and meritorious deeds either in this life or in
previous lives.
The Shodashi Shatanama Stotram is a hundred name hymn in
praise of Goddess Shodashi and is really beautiful. I must give credit to
Kishore, my brother-in-law for providing me this stotram. It gives me joy to
listen to it and hopefully you will enjoy it too!
