and Yoginis have neither birth nor death, they take the form of a human to teach
us the greatest of the lessons, they are void of sorrows, and pains, grief and
worldly bondage and they are negated from piousness or sins. These noble souls take the form of humans to
protect the ordinary soul from constant miseries and sorrows of the unfathomable
ocean of worldly existence. They take
all efforts to awaken the supreme consciences in the soul, they purify the soul
and guide them through the righteous path, they enlighten the soul about the
importance of one’s own duties and responsibilities, they urge the soul to
attain supreme wisdom and knowledge, and they make all the initiative to take
