Adi:

These are too big subjects to be discussed off hand. to discuss one must know
what is the level of yourreading already. To start from A is rather impossible.
it will take reams of paper.
Why not you tell us what you know already and we will take it up from there.

Mathrika itself is a word with innumerable meanings. in Matruka nyasa they are
thge letters of the sanskrit letters. in many other contexts they have many
other meanings.
Sapta matrukas are the 7 MOTHERS.
so the same word means alphabet and mother.

Tell us what you know. In all probablity u know more than us so u can even
teach.

I have read somewhere that the Matrikas rule over the 8 groups of the Sanskrit
Alphabet. But when there are 8 groups in Sanskrit Alphabet, why then 7 mothers?

Namaste!

Apologies - but I could not help but add to this fascinating post!

There is a seal [M430] showing 'seven mothers' or 'sisters', which
was recovered from Mohenjo-daro...

Are the 64 Yoginis not related to the 64 petals of a certain
lotus/chakra?

There is a 64 Yogini Tantric temple at Orissa, in the form of a stone
circle sculpture, centred by a block of stone, on which Shiva has
been fashioned, in relief.
