Goddess Chinnamasta - “She Whose Head is Cut Off”

Chinnamasta, a Hindu Goddess and the sixth cosmic wisdom in Dus Mahavidya, is visually fierce but spiritually evolved, tender and compassionate sixteen year old who cuts her own head to feed the ones who come to her by granting them protection and fulfilment.

Spiritually, “She whose head is cut off” represents the unlimited capacity of transcending the mind and be absorbed in the Supreme Void of the Absolute Divine Consciousness. Further, it also implies transcending the mind by separating from identity or ego.

Though visually ferocious, like Kali, her divine and electrifying personality reveals the uniqueness of the infinite divine consciousness, that is nameless, formless and limitless, holding a pure vision that goes beyond any veil of ignorance resulting in thundering spiritual transformation. Hence, Chinnamasta is called Prachanda Chandika, identifying herself with the most terrible form of Kali, which is Chandi.

Due to her association with the ascending energy through Sushumna Nadi, Chinnamasta is also correlated with the subtle energy causing the ascension of Kundalini Shakti and the deep transformation of the human being. There are in fact three streams of blood coming out from Chinnamasta’s throat: a central stream that she herself drinks, and two other placed on the left and on the right sides of this central stream, signifying the energies from ida nadi and pingala nadi, drunk by the two yoginis Dakini and Varini.

In the Pranamayakosha or the energy body, there are 72,000 nadis, pathways

Of energy or prana in the system. The 72,000 nadis spring from three basic nadis – the left, the right and the central – the Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna.

Ida, the feminine representing the moon, is the left channel. It originates in Muladhara, Ida ends up in the left nostril.

Pingala, the masculine representing the sun, is the right channel. It originates in Muladhara, Pingala ends up in the right nostril.

Sushumna is the central channel through which Kundalini moves upwards running up the body from just below Muladhara chakra to Sahasrara chakra at the crown of the head, thus energising the seven chakras.

The ability to balance Ida and Pingala, and cause Prana to flow in Sushumna results in an inner balance where whatever happens outside, there is a certain space within you which never gets disturbed and scale up the peaks of consciousness.

#ugratara #temple #odisha

Tara comes from SITA RAM it has TA of Sita and RA of RAM.

According to #Yogini #Tantra, #Tara is the same as #Kali , the embodiment of supreme #love. She is also #Kamakhya. In Tantric literatures three manifestations of Tara are mentioned: Eka Jata, providing Kaivalya or unity with the Absolute; Ugra Tara, one who provides relief from unforeseen severe meseries and Nila Saraswati, imparting Jnana or knowledge.

She stands in the Pratyalidha pose. She is short stature with a protruded belly and Her complexion is dark blue. She has a terrible appearance away from her mild and pretty Sarasawati appearances. She wears tiger skin at Her waist and garland of human-heads at Her neck.

She is of prime youth and adorned with Pancha Mudras. In Her four hands She holds Khadga-sword, Indivara-lotus, Kartika-shear and Kapala-human skull. Her tongue is held out as Kali’s lolling tinge. She wears single braid of matted hair on her head. Tara is three-eyed as she stands on the corpse lying on the burning funeral pyre and ranges her feet, which appears terrible. These are symbolic of Mother Kali, ever ready to remove the darkness of ignorance and passiveness of Her devotees. Ma Tara is synonymous with Omkar, the five

components of Omkar are – A, U, M, Nada and Bindoo

What I love the most of compassionate is her mother love for #shiva

The legend begins with the churning of the ocean between the Devas and Asuras. Lord Shiva drank the poison that was created from the churning of the ocean (in the process turning his throat blue and earning him the epithet Nilakantha), thus saving the world from destruction, but fell unconscious under its powerful effect. Tara Ma appeared and took Shiva on her lap. She suckled him, the milk from her breasts counteracting the poison, and he recovered. It is reminiscent to Kali's maternal instinct when Shiva stops the rampaging Kali by becoming an infant and Kali becomes quiet and nurses the infant Shiva. In both cases, Shiva assumes the position of an infant vis-à-vis the Goddess.

May the compassionate Ma Ugratara shows us the way from #darkenesstolight

ॐ त्रीं ह्रीं, ह्रूं, ह्रीं, हुं फट्॥

Om Treem Hreem, Hrum, Hreem, Hum Phat॥

Greetings on these auspicious Magha Navaratri.

Magha Navaratri is celebrated in the lunar month of Magha in hinduism. It is also known as Gupt Navaratri, because personalized sadhnas are majorly performed these days to please certain manifestations of Devi, in whose worship secrecy is maintained. Secrecy means, more involvement with the divine, to fathom our true nature which unfolds with her grace. This True Nature is fundamentally discussed in shastras as the Aananda Svarupa or form of divine bliss. This bliss is recognised during Navaratris with the worship of Shakti, whose spandan/movement gave birth to universe and created eroticism and bliss in existence. As the root life force of cosmos, the blissful and erotic, life-giving energy which is Devi lives in all life forms.

Matangi and her different forms are worshipped during these Navaratris in Shakta traditions of Shyamala, Sri Vidya and others. Matangi is one of the Dasha Mahavidyas, who grants spiritual and materialistic wisdom, proficiency in arts and music and attraction/vasikarana. Attraction or Vasikarana is an important quality of Devi, as she attracts all devotees and seekers towards spirituality. Matangi is worshipped as Saraswati in the Vedas, and as Ucchishta Chandalini in the tantras. Devi is ferocious, but grants auspicious boons to her bhaktas. Authentic worship of Matangi must be performed only by receiving initiation in her mantra and worship from a genuine Guru/Master.

In absence of initiation, Goddess can be worshipped as Saraswati by devotees. Recitation of Saraswati Sahesranamam, Saraswati Ashtottram and Medha Suktam is beneficial in receiving the abundant grace of Matangi/Saraswati. If recitation is difficult, listen to these stotras and suktas.

May these auspicious days of Magha Navaratri bring grace and wellbeing to your lives. May Devi's blessings be upon you.

Magha Navaratri dates: 2nd February - 11th February, 2022.

The 4 days Raja festival, which started as a tribal practice, has now spread to all parts of Odisha respecting and celebrating menstruation and womanhood.

As per the mythology, It is believed that the mother Goddess Earth or the divine wife of Lord Vishnu undergoes menstruation during the first three days. The fourth day is called Vasumati Snana, or ceremonial bath of Bhudevi. The term Rajo came from Rajaswala (meaning a menstruating woman), and in medieval times the festival became more popular as an agricultural holiday marking the worship of Bhudevi, who is the wife of lord Jagannath. A silver idol of Bhudevi is still to be found in the Puri Temple beside Lord Jagannath @wikipedia
