Khadgamala

The Khadgamala (Khaḍgamālā, Sanskrit: खड्गमाला, "Garland of the Sword") is an invocational mantra that names each of the Devi Hindu goddesses according to their place in the Sri Yantra or in the Maha Meru.[1] This list of divine names is described poetically as a "garland" (Sanskrit: mālā). The sword (Sanskrit: khaḍga) is an epithet for the Devi's "power to strike down desire, hatred, and delusion".[1]

This recitation of mantra is a spiritual practice of Hindu tantra.

Guru Karunamaya delivered a series of talks in English on Sri Sankara TV on Sri Devi Khadgamala revealing the inner meaning of the Shri Yantra and Lalitha Tripura Sundari.
