All the information I could collect so far comes from these sites: http://murugan.org/jyoti.htm, http://murugan.org/jyoti2.htm, and http://kataragama.org/research/krishnapillai.htm. According to what is written there, Jyoti is the sister of Lord Skanda and represents the female principle of light. She was born of one spark of light from the forehead of the Universal Mother . When Skanda went for his fight against the asura Surapadman, Devi fashioned out of herself a weapon, the Vel, which was not just an instrument but a deity - Jyoti Devi. Jyoti Devi is also known as Saravanabavayai to indicate that she is always intertwined with Sarvana or Skanda and acts for him. At Tiruvannamalai Jyoti is worshipped every year during the month of Karttikai of the Tamil calendar. Jyoti is called here Arul Perum Jyoti, or the graceful and great Jyoti. The most important day for worship of Jyoti is the day of her birth when the Universal Mother fashioned the spark in her forehead into Vel and gave it to Skanda. This is the day of Visaka Nakshatra in May. Shiva as Nataraja carries Jyoti in his left hand as fire. A saint who merged with her in recent times was Ramalinga Swamigal. Some things, however, remain unclear. Is Goddess Jyoti really the same as Jwalamukhi as Dr. Alappan writes in his article on murugan.org? I could find quite a lot of information about Jwalamukhi on web, but is this really the same Devi as Jyoti? Is there any connection between Jyoti and BalaTripuraSundari, the form of LalitaMahaTripuraSundari as a 16 years old girl (who is sometimes called Shodashi)? How does one worship Jyoti? What is the Dhyaana Sloka used when worshiping her? What is the Bija Mantra used when invoking her? I would be most grateful for some help and information. Is there any book where I could find these details? Kind regards, Alexandra Kafka
