Hakiniropadharini (हाकिनीरूपधारिणी, IAST: hākinīrūpadhāriṇī) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu girl-name meaning “She who wears the form of Hākinī Śakti”. Derived from 'Hākinī' (the presiding deity of the ājñā cakra), 'rūpa' (form), and 'dhāriṇī' (bearer), this name celebrates Lalitā's manifestation as the luminous power governing the brow center.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Hākinī is the śakti who presides over the ājñā cakra (the third-eye center between the brows), where consciousness approaches its pure, undivided state. The suffix 'rūpadhāriṇī' indicates that the supreme Goddess herself assumes this precise form, revealing that all the cakra-śaktis are ultimately expressions of Lalitā's own being. This name is especially significant in Kuṇḍalinī-yoga tradition, linking devotional worship with inner awakening.

This name of Lalitā Mahātripurasundarī appears in the Sahasranāma as part of the sequence describing her cakra manifestations. The name is rarely used as a standalone given name; 'Hākinī' alone is occasionally given; the full name is pronounced hā-ki-nī-rū-pa-dhā-ri-ṇī.
