64 Yoginis or Chaushat Yogini Mata, Chatushashti Yogini Goddesses

Here you can get the names of 64 Yoginis. Also known as Chaushat Yogini Mata or Chatushashti Yogini Goddesses, 64 Yoginis are believed manifestations of Goddess Shakti. Often Saptamatrikas or Ashtamatrikas are confused with the Yogini shakti.

Yoginis are represented as various powers or energies or manifestations of Goddess Shakti or Durga engaged in fighting with the demons Shumbha and Nishumbha. It is also believed that from each Matrika eight Yoginis were born (64 Yoginis from 8 Matrikas).

Some scriptures also tell that these Yoginis are installed in Manikarnika Ghat in Varanasi by Lord Shiva.

Some Stotras in other Scriptures also mentioned some other names in the list of Chatusashti Yogini Matas.

      I really need to know if the list given by hindupad is the sequence as given in the original text! The list as I understand reads down each column, rather than across?
      It would also be helpfull to have English translation.

    There are two huge problems with your page even though it has good info about Hinduism. It is full of advertisements. Second, the way the page is displayed, nothing could be high lighted and copied to save.
    Can you fix these?

    An Interesting Episode of Shri. Bhaskararaya’s time.

    Chathushshashti Koti Yogini: – As per introduction given by Sri Panashikar Vasudev Sharma to Nirnaya sagar’s Sri Lalitha Sahasranama Bhashya, there is an interesting incident in Kasi while writing Saubhagyabhaskara which is narrated as follows:

    The learned people of Kasi had decided to condemn the tradition followed Sri Bhaskararaya and met him under the leadership of Sri Narayana Bhatta. Sri Bhaskararaya welcomed and arranged for the ‘Vaada” – (debate). Sri Raya replied to all the queries raised by them. Finally they felt that they can defeat him only with the questions on mantra shastra which Sri Raya replied since he had learnt the Sastra very well. As the team had come with the intention to defeat him, they asked him to furnish a list of 64 crores of Yoginis’ names and their details as mentioned in the 237th nama (name) “Maha chathusshashti koti yogini gana sevita” appearing in Sri Lalita-Sahasranama.

    Sri Raya accepted the challenge and requested them to assemble on the bank of Ganga River at Chaoushashti ghat in the evening. Sri Bhaskararaya sat on dhyana mudra and asked the learned people to note down the names and details. It was found that all the two hundred people were writing different names and their details non-stop with the result all of them were tired and their hands aching but the flow from Sri Bhaskararaya continued on and on and seemed to be never ending. Sri Kumkumadi Saraswathi alias Kumkumanandanatha a learned sanyasi, who was present there saw this and by Divya drishti found that Sri Devi herself was speaking through Sri Bhaskararaya and therefore asked Narayana Bhatta to stop it and accept defeat. Sri Narayana Bhatta had not readily accepted and wanted full proof. Therefore Kumkumanandanatha took some water from the basin of which Sri Devi had been bathed by Sri Bhaskararaya and anointed the eyes of Narayana Bhatta with it. His eyes were at once regaled with the wonderful vision of Sri Devi sitting on the shoulders of Sri Bhaskararaya and speaking through his mouth. Sri Bhatta realized rightly and joined the tradition of Raya. The Choushashti ghat can still be seen at Kasi.
