Matangi, the ninth Mahavidya, is the goddess of the spoken word, music, learning and the arts, revered as the Tantric form of Saraswati. Emerald-hued, she plays the veena and presides over inspired speech and inner knowledge.
She is honoured as the goddess who dwells beyond convention, beloved of those who seek mastery of word and sound, and the muse of poets, musicians and orators.
The Meaning
Matangi is the power of the inspired word and the wisdom carried on sound. She teaches that speech and music are sacred, doorways to the divine, and she blesses her devotees with eloquence, creative mastery and the inner knowledge that the arts can reveal.
