Devi Matangi is the ninth Dasha Maha Vidya. Dasha Mahavidyas
as you may know are the ten Great Wisdom Goddesses. Devi Matangi is the tantric
form of Goddess Saraswati. There are several forms of Devi Matangi; the most
beautiful form is that of Raja Matangi with a veena as depicted above. Matangi Devi is
in charge of the arts, education and knowledge. Education and knowledge are not
limited to children; we as adults need knowledge also and that is Brahma Vidya
which is Divine Knowledge; Matangi Devi can help us attain that. Detailed

The Matangi Sahasranamam Stotram comprises one thousand names
and is a rare Sanskrit Shloka. I must give credit to Kishore, my brother-in-law
for providing me this stotram. This is a phenomenal hymn of praise and can be
used in homams with the addition of “Svaha” at the end of every couplet. There is a pronunciation errors I
just discovered – in verse 112, around 17 minutes, I have said "Shavaa Sha"; it should be "Shava Cha" – please forgive.
And now the audio: about 22 minutes long.
