the 64 Yoginis

[akka]

I search information about the 64 Yoginis.
According to my information the 64 Yoginis are:

1. Jaya
2. Vijaya
3. Jayanthi
4. Aparajitha
5. DivyaYogini
6. MahaYogini
7. Siddha Yogini
8. Ganeshwara Yogini
9. Predasini
10. Dakini
11. Kamala
12. Kaalaratri
13. Nisasari
14. Dankarini
15. Roudri
16. Hoomkarini
17. Urdvakesini
18. Virupakshi
19. Suklangi
20. Narabhojini
21. Patkari
22. Virabadra
23. Doomangi
24. Kalakapriya
25. Korarakthakshi
26. Viswarupa
27. Abhayankari
28. Virakowmari
29. Chandika
30. Varahi
31. Mundadarini
32. Rakshasi
33. Bhairavi
34. Dwangshini
35. Doomrangi
36. Predavahini
37. Katwangi
38. Dirgalamboshti
39. Maalini
40. Matthayogini
41. Kalini
42. Chakrini
43. Kangali
44. Bhuvaneswari
45. Chataki
46. Mahamari
47. Yamaduthi
48. Karalini
49. Kesini
50. Marthini
51. Romajanga
52. Nivarini
53. Visalini
54. Kaarmuki
55. Loli
56. Adomuki
57. Mundakradarini
58. Vyakrini
59. Kangkshini
60. Predarupini
61. Durjati
62. Kori
63. Karali
64. Vishalambini

Are these names correct?
How do Kamala and Bhuvanesvari come in this group?
Are they not rather Mahavidyas than Yoginis?
What about Varahi, who usually belongs to the 8 Matrikas?

I also heard about Yoginis especially worshipped in the Kaula Sampadaya, such as
HrasvAjanghA, TalAjangha, ParalambOnI, KrostAmukhi, Dirghajangha and LambodarmukhI.
Who are they?
Why are they not included in the group of 64 Yoginis?

Is there a connection between the 64 Yoginis and Indian astrology?

If I may:

Your Avatar was once tried by Vaj. No offense, just a friendly exchange of information.

You are a Buddhist; so I think there is no need to know the list. Meditate on the nobles truths and the right paths to end suffering or its deliverance.

About meditation, my observations are:

Your meditation methods are good advice for staying calm and accepting things you can't change.

But you are not facing the challenge of how to solve a problem which is real, like for example war, environmental pollution, drugs, etc.

Maybe in being calm one can be more systematic, and logical, and scientific, and technolgical (which you don't advocate as explicitly and specifically, or maybe not even at all), we can solve the problems facing mankind today.

Conclusion: Meditation is all right, your kind, if you have the systematic way of working out a problem, any problem, with logic, science, and technology. Of course being scientific is foremost being calm as a first step.

I am NOT a Buddhist.
The 64 Yoginis are important in Hindu Shakta Tantra.

just a quick note to say that I finally got around to resizing the avatar. Sorry about leaving it oversized on the server for so long.
