Camunda : The destroyer of evil:tri netra dharini - the three eyed one

[Guest guest]

yes, our divine mother has three eyes... trinetradharini (the three

eyed one) just like her consort Shiva, THE THRINETRADHARI (the three

eyed one)there are many explanations for the three eyes...

 

one popular one is...

 

three eyes are ****Sun, Moon and Fire****, of which the third,

represents foresight and wisdom, a harbinger of supreme knowledge that

opens once the human sight is cleared of ignorance. that is why the

divine mother banishes our 'ignorance' by opening our ajnana chakra-

she is our 'jnana chaksu' meaning eye of knowledge!

 

a prayer in sri vidya upasana goes like this...

 

"Oh Divine Mother, may my mind be always concentrated on your eyes:

the right eye, like Surya creates the days, the left eye, like chandra

creates the nights and the third eye as loveable as a just bloomed

golden lotus, creates the sandyas, the time of union day and night".

 

also, the three eyes represent the past, present and future- our

divine mother knows all the three - when we focus on her third eye

between the eyebrows, she helps us to transcend beyond time and

space1

 

our divine mother, the meenalochani! the padmalochani! the

kamalochini!

 

 

love, maa
