Ajnachakrabjanilaiya (आज्ञाचक्राब्जनिलया, IAST: Ājñācakrābjanilayā) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who dwells in the lotus of the Ājñā chakra”. From 'ājñā' (command, the sixth energy center between the brows), 'cakra' (wheel/energy center), 'abja' (lotus), and 'nilayā' (abode, she who dwells), this name establishes Lalitā as the supreme commanding presence enthroned in the lotus of the third eye.

Meaning, etymology & significance

The Ājñā chakra, seated between the eyebrows, is the center of intuition, inner vision, and divine command — its very name means 'command' or 'authority,' from the root 'ājñā.' It is depicted as a two-petalled indigo lotus, associated with the pineal gland and with the guru's presence within. Lalitā's residence here signifies that all spiritual wisdom and inner sight flow from her grace.

This name of Lalitā Mahātripurasundarī is particularly venerated in Kuṇḍalinī yoga and the Śrī Vidyā upāsanā tradition. The shortened 'Ājñā' could function as a rare devotional name, though the full compound is reserved for liturgical use.
