LS: Jwaalaa-maalinikaa-kshipta-vahni-praakaara-madhyagaa

[Guest guest]

In the lalitopakhyAna Sri lalitA asks jvAlAmAlini to build the fire

fortress to station Herself and Her army. This is to prevent any

surprise attack on them from bhaNDAsura's camp, as it happened before.

She issues this command at the request of mantriNI and daNDinI.

 

This specific prayoga you have mentioned in the examples makes sense

and highlights the value of this nAma. Probably, not just rain,

chanting this should protect one from any calamities that are about

come.

 

Every name should have such hidden wonders in them. Typically when one

meets a hundred people gathered in a meeting. He may not pay attention

to all and understand all. But when you call each one of them to have

cup of coffee with you on one-to-one basis, a personal relationship

will blossom and deepen the understanding. So it is with these nama-s.

Paying attention to each one of them and deeply communing with them

through meditation should give a terrific insight. And next time we

passby, it will never escape our focussed attention.

 

Thanks for sharing your knowledge about this name and making us all

more connected with it.

 

Ravi
