Hinduism is a religion of many facets. Each devotee is allowed to experiment with his or her devotion. This liberty had led to two schools - Dakshin marg and Vaam marg
Vaam marg is the unconventional school of Hinduism. Tantra emerged from this path. They believe in accepting the discarded and reaching spiritual advancement via austerities.
The Tantra school worships Devi or the Primordial Mother as Dasa Mahavidya or great wisdom. These Goddesses are fierce and are not worshipped by common householders because they need extraordinary dedication and discipline.
Goddess Matangi is the ninth of the Dasa Mahavidya.
Let's offer her our respects before moving forward with the ashtakshar Matangi Mantra :
कामिनी रञ्जिनी स्वाहा॥
Kamini Ranjini Svaha॥

Maa Matangi is the incarnation of the Primordial Mother Goddess Parvati or Goddess Sati. She dwells in a forest. She is associated with full moon night. The night of intoxication. Goddess Matangi owns the throat chakra.
She bestows the devotees with the exceptional expression of skills of poetry, writing, and music. She belongs to the Sri Kula
In certain Rahasya Stotra she is called the Mechakesi Sarswati. Disheveled hair and untamed energy which seems like Maa Sarswati but without the politeness and sophistication.
She grants Vak Siddhi and Mantra Chaitanya to her devotees.
Maa Matangi is mainly worshipped during Navratri and on her Jayanti. Maa Matangi Jayanti falls on the Tritiya of the waxing moon of the Vaishakh month of the Hindu Lunar month.
It coincides with Akshay Tritiya.

Maa Matangi has many incarnations but she is mainly revered in three basic forms. Each form bestows the devotees with special boons and success in performing arts.
Uchchhishta Matangi is the goddess who is called the “Outcast Queen”. She is also called "Uchchhishta Chandalini". She is known to keep the company of Chandals, outcasts, and tribals. She rules over the chaunsath kala or the sixty-four art forms.
Recitation of Mantra, poetry, debate, political authority are her domains. She rules over Vaikhari or Vaak. Unlike Devi Sarswati who polishes the intellect, she frees the tongue. She bestows the boon of persuasive speech and colloquial language.
Raja Matangi is the milder form of Maa Matangi. She is deep emerald in complexion. She is seated on a gem-studded throne. She is playing a Veena adorned with rubies.
Her companion is a parrot. It symbolises control over tongue and language.
Any native who is struggling to create an impression in the fields of performing arts can consider consulting a professional astrologer.

Sumukhi comes from the Sanskrit words: Su-beautiful and Mukhi-mouth/face. It indicates a beautiful face or beauty in speech. She is a beautiful maiden. She is sixteen years of age.
Apart from a Veena and parrot, she holds a skull too. She is invoked for Vashikaran.
The legend of Uchchhishta Matangi is mentioned in Shaktisamagam Tantra. Once upon a time, Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi went to visit Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. They brought food items for Lord Shiva and Devi Parvati.
When Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Vishnu were relishing the feast a little portion of Uchchhishta or defiled food fell on the ground. A beautiful maiden arose from the leftovers. She asked for the leftovers for food. The leftovers were given to her as prasadam. Thus, she was called Uchchhishta Matangi.
Maa Matangi is also known as Uchchhishta Chandalini. She keeps the company of the outcasts or Chandal. She is an example of the Sacred Goddess that self shines equally from the high born as well as the low caste.
During worship, Maa Matangi is offered leftovers with an unwashed left hand. This is a polar opposite of classical Hinduism. With her nontraditional ways of devotion, Maa Matangi liberates the devotees from the conditioned mindset of right or wrong and pure or impure.
A consistent dilemma of right or wrong can lead you to further confusion.Meet Ekktaa, the most trusted astrologer for an online horoscope consultation and gain the clarity you need to make confident decisions aligned with your destiny."
Matang Muni used to stay in a forest full of Matangam or elephants. It is known as Kadambvana situated near present day Madurai. He is credited with finding the 7 basic notes of Indian classical music.
He prayed arduously to Goddess Parvati to humble the arrogant Himvanta. Pleased with his ceaseless devotion, Devi agreed to be born as his daughter. She was called Matangi after her father, Matang Muni.
Matangi Jayanti is far more than a festival; it is a spiritual gateway. A door to her grace which unlocks itself once in a year.

Maa Matangi Jayanti is celebrated when the moon reaches the sign of Taurus. Here the moon is exalted. And an exalted moon bestows calmness, focus, and clarity. These qualities are also attributed to the worship of Maa Matangi.
The festival holds special significance in the field of Mantra Shastra - the study of the effects of the sacred sounds. Maa Matangi is considered the Devi who governs the sound of the tongue or our spoken words.
Worshipping her on Matangi Jayanti is said to dissolve mental blockages and unlock one's ability to express thoughts with clarity, precision, and grace.
