Origin & Story

Yogini Tantra (Kamakhya stotra literature) · Traditional — Tantric tradition · Tantric era

Kamakhya is the great Goddess of the Kamarupa region, enshrined on Nilachala (the Blue Hill) where, according to the Shakti Peetha tradition, the yoni of Sati fell when her body was scattered across the land. The temple has no image of the deity but a natural cleft in the rock worshipped as the Yoni — the creative womb of the cosmos — kept moist by an underground spring. Hymns such as this Kamakhya Stotram, drawn from the Yogini Tantra and allied Tantric texts, praise her as Kameshwari, the sovereign of desire, and as the all-pervading Mother of the worlds.

✦ As told in scripture

Each year during the Ambubachi Mela the spring at Kamakhya is said to turn red, taken by devotees as the sign of the Mother's life-giving power; pilgrims from across India gather to receive her grace, and those who recite her stotram and pranama mantra with faith are believed to be blessed with the fulfilment of long-held desires and the removal of barrenness and misfortune.

How to Chant श्री कामाख्या स्तोत्रम्

Repetitions9times

Best TimeDuring Navaratri, the Ambubachi Mela, on Tuesdays/Fridays, and at dawn

Sit facing the Goddess or her yantra after a bath; light a lamp and offer red flowers, kumkum and (traditionally) red cloth. Recite the verses with attention to the refrain 'Kameshwari namo'stu te', and finish with the pranama mantra 'Kamakhye varade devi...'. As Kamakhya is a Tantric deity, recitation is done with purity and reverence; the mantra is often repeated 9, 27 or 108 times. Worship is held especially auspicious during Navaratri and the Ambubachi festival.

Kamakhya is a powerful form of the Divine Mother (Shakti) worshipped at the Kamakhya Temple on Nilachala Hill in Guwahati, Assam. The temple is one of the most important Shakti Peethas and a foremost seat of Tantric worship, where the Goddess is revered as the creative source (Yoni) of the universe.

The best-known pranama mantra is 'Kamakhye varade devi nila-parvata-vasini, tvam devi jagatam mata yoni-mudre namo'stu te' — saluting her as the boon-giving Mother of all worlds who dwells on the Blue Mountain. It is included at the close of this stotram.

During the Ambubachi Mela (when the Mother's annual cycle is celebrated) and during Navaratri. Tuesdays and Fridays are also favoured for reciting her stotram and mantras.

It means 'Salutations to you, O Kameshwari' — Kameshwari being the sovereign goddess of desire and its fulfilment, an aspect identical with Lalita and Kamakhya, the Mother who grants every righteous wish.
