Guest guest Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 1 -Mother Kali and time - goddess who dispels darkness. Time is both creation and destruction. To create we must first destroy. To bring the new into being, we must fist let go the old, and it is she who will help you remove all your past trauma and weakness. Mother Kali is also worshiped as air or the wind. Mother Kali, our Master grand Mother is located in the Heart Chakra, the seat of the air element or Vayu. Kali relates to the physical heart also, which circulates the life force, and to the blood itself that carries the life force. In this form she is called Rakta-Kali or red Kali. Mother Kali thus is the pulsating of the heart. In her higher and benefic form as Bhadra (auspicious) Kali she is located in the spiritual heart center, on the right side of the chest. Here she is the giver of the highest transformation, which is Self-realization. She is the combination of the supreme and middle forms of speech whereby the outer and the inner are mediated through the heart. 2 - Tara - The term Tara means the deliverer or savior, from the Sanskrit root tri, meaning, "to take across," as to take across a river, the ocean, a mountain, or any difficult situation. Goddess Tara is called upon in emergencies or at crossroads where we require guidance as to which way to turn. She favors and fearlessness, protection and destroys obstacles, purification, transformation and feminine nature. Tara relates primarily to the Navel Chakra, which is the center for the third or illumined state of speech (Pashyanti). Her other center is the tongue. Yet because she is the rising sound current that leaps upward from the navel center, she is not limited to this location. As Om or the guru she relates to the Third Eye. She is thus the rising current from the Navel Chakra to the head. 3 - Tripura Sundari the most beautiful goddess in the three worlds, also the main goddess of the SriChakra. She thus is the Goddess of Vedantic knowledge, which is the knowledge of the Supreme Self or Divine I AM She is the supreme ruler of the Universe, also known as Rajarajeshvari. From her arise all the commands, which govern the universe, including the command, which allows us to unfold spiritual or to give spiritual teachings in the world. She is also knowledge and consciousness. She is the deity of the Crown Chakra or thousand-petalled lotus, the abode of the immortal nectar (amrita). By her grace the nectar descends and comes to pervade the entire body, until we find the entire body, until we find the entire universe dwelling within it. 4 - Bhuvaneshwari is known in the Vedas as Aditi, the infinite or indivisible Mother, the great origin and cosmic womb, who is space. In her as genesis and origin all light is born. Hence she is the Mother of the Sun and all Sun Gods who are named after her (Adityas). She creates space in order to give birth to all things. Similarly she creates space within our own consciousness to give birth to the divine nature within us. She represents the Void or original space in which things come into being. She is the Void in its creative form, the void within creation, form which creation springs and which supports the unfoldment of future creation. She is not the void that is prior to and beyond creation (which is Dhumavati) 5. Bhairavi represents the supreme power of speech, which has the nature of fire. She is the Word in its unarticulated and primal form of raw energy, the flaming word, which appears like a pillar or a sward to remove all opposition. She is supreme light and heat power, the flame of consciousness itself (Cidagni), which is the ultimate knowledge of truth. She dwells at the base of the spine in the Root Chakra, (Muladhara). She is the same as Kundalini, most specifically in her awakened role as the purifier of our nature. Unless we are ready to deal with Bhairavi we should not try to arouse the Kundalini into action. 6 - Chinnamasta, whose image is a severed head, is the Goddess who causes us to cut off our heads or to dissolve our minds into pure awareness. She brings transcendence of the mind and represents the non-mind (unmana) state. Freed from the limitations of the mind, consciousness realizes its true nature beyond death and sorrow. She relates to the third eye (Ajna Chakra), which is her chief place of action. She represents the opened Third Eye from which comes lightning of direct perception that destroys all duality and negativity. As the upward movement of the Prana she is associated with Udana Vayu, the upward moving of the vital airs, which the yogis seek to develop. Her perceptive power can be taken to any centre or chakra to perceive its nature and function. 7 Bagalamukhi, Bagala is a Goddess of speech, as such is related to Tara and regarded as a form of her. When sound becomes manifest as light, Tara becomes Bagala. When the brilliant light of speech comes forth, then Tara gains the effulgence of Bagala and causes all things to become still. Bagala is thus the stunning radiance that comes forth from the Divine Word and puts the human or egoistic word to rest. Bagala relates to the soft palate, the place called Indra-yoni, which is the middle point between the senses of the eyes, ears, nose and tongue. The soft palate is related in function with the third eye, and so Bagala like Chinnamasta is associated with this chakra. Concentration on the point of the soft palate gives control over the senses and vital energies (Prana) 8 -. Dhumavati the elder among the Goddesses, the Grandmother is the elder form of Kali, Kali as an old woman. She represents time or the life force dissociated from the process of manifestation. She is the timeless, which never really enters into the process of time. She is not revealed in the ordinary world but present as s background screen or smoke that helps us see beyond the evident forms around us. Those who are trying to ward off negative influence should worship her. She gives transcendence and freedom, returning us to the condition prior to the arising of any negative forces. Dhumavati is another goddess that relates to the heart or the middle region. 9 - Matangi, wisdom, learning, teaching and hence the very voice of the guru or inner guide Mother Matangi relates to Sarasvati, the Goddess of wisdom and the consort of Lord Brahma, the creator of the world. She rules over audible sound in general, not just the spoken word. She is the manifest from of song. Like Sarasvati she is symbolized by the rain cloud and by the thunder, as well as the rivers pouring into the sea. Mother Matangi rules over the extraordinary, which takes us beyond the bounds of the conventional. Mother Matangi resides in the Throat Chakra, the center of speech. She also resides on the tip of the tongue, the place wherein speech is articulated and wherein we are able to taste the essences of things. There is a special nerve or channel of the subtle body called Sarasvati that runs from the Third Eye to the tip of the tongue, which relates to her. This is the stream of inspiration from the mind to its expression via speech. She represents the flow of bliss through this channel, which makes up poet-seers of the divine with all the powers of cosmic creativity. 10 - Kamala, beauty, abundance, splendor, devotion, surrender, and refuge. She is the one to whom one worship for financial abundance Mother Kamalatmika like Mother Sundari rules over love, beauty and bliss. She governs the outer form of beauty, not merely as pleasure but as the unfoldment of the Divine nature into the realms of action and creation. Mother Kamala thus relates to the Earth, which contains the maximum manifestation of the Divine in the material world. The Earth Goddess, Bhu Devi, is considered to the second consort of Lord Vishnu. Mother Kamala is the Goddess who will bless us with material and spiritual wealth. She is located in the heart, specifically the Heart Chakra of the subtle body, which is the place of devotional worship. She is the image of the heart's delight and the heart's wish for perfect beauty and happiness. We should visualize this perfect fulfillment as the Divine grace that naturally comes to the heart of all beings. 11 - Prithvi; earth Goddess, will be installed in the Garden, so that our society will open their hearts and once more learn to nurture and care for her, for the plenty that she provides for us. 12 - Annapoorna; giver of food (she will be installed in the food hall) To sponsor the building of the Ten Wisdom Goddess section of the Temple will help you with the blessing of the Goddess you choose to help provide a home too, for when ever a prayer is given to her each day, your name will also be mentioned, as such her blessings will always be available to you. So, read the description of the Ten Goddess and decide who you would like to sponsor, and act soon, as there are only ten of them. Each of the planets will have their individual Sannidhi along with the relevant Luna Nakshatras whom they are Lord off. And at each Sannidhi there will be an Agni pit where Agni Homa will be preformed each day with full participation of the public. The priest will only act as the guide unlike what has been for 100s of years when only priest are the ones who perform this ritual where the public are only allowed to observe. Homa are the foremost of Indian rituals, which are sacrificial sacred fires of divine communication. Agni is capable of converting the physical components via ahutis into psychic components as offerings as offerings to the deities presiding over the Homa, and in this case the Moon Goddess, Planets and Nakshatras of the day. Agni homa for health, wealth and happiness is what I guarantee to all who attend the homa on their visit to the temple. It is the foremost of rituals and is sacrificial sacred fire of divine communication. In my experience I have personally seen many heal themselves of emotional related illness, apart from purifying their bodies from various kind of bacteria and removes negative vibrations. It has been proven, the practitioners of Agni Homa keeps a very health aura that shields the physical body from contracting diseases. So, Agni Homa plays a vital role in keeping the human body healthy and fit. In ancient times Rishis conducted it for the welfare of the people, with the intent of eliminating obstacles, negative karmas and planetary doshas and augmenting health, wealth, and good relationship, prosperity and peace in the families of the participants. This practice is very important in modern times where the pollution is fact increasing to uncontrollable limits and hence it is all the more necessary to resort to Agni Homa to purify the atmosphere to safeguard the well being of all. This also helps purify mental pollution as well. This practice that most temples have for longstop doing it as a daily practice, which we would revive. The temple will also be used to teach the arts, like music, traditional dancing, the language of the Gods and more as the demand arises. We invite you to either donate what ever amount you can afford or built one of the Sannidhi and the image of the deity, where your name and star will be inscribed in the wall, and a prayer for the deity and you will be done regularly. Each of the minor Sannidhis will cost about US $ 4320 and the image will be about US $ 2160 and the main Sannidhis and image will cost between US $ 10,800 to US $12, 960 Each day we will offer food to at least 108 people per day and this will cost about US. $27 per day. In the old days pilgrims used to stay within the temple grounds, another culture which has disappeared due to the fear of theft. Pilgrims will be allowed to sleep in the temple, for whatever prescribed time of their vow. On the grounds of the temple we will have an Inter Faith college and research center. Home for women, or a half way house for women who are abused. Here will be provide healing and counseling till they are ready to return to society. We will also offer vocational training and in some cases help them get started in business, or self-employment. Indian provides lots of opportunity, and it needs a bit of professionalism, which with your help we hope to provide. Last but the most important is to provide street kids, a place that they can call home. Should every one who reads this mail sends us a small sum of $ 27 every six months, this project will be up and running within 12 months from the day you read this mail. For the whole project to be completed we would need at least $US 200,000, and the project will take at least two years to complete. Tantric Goddess's aim is empower women, by invoking the power of the Ten Tantric Wisdom Goddess, Srividiya, Nityas & planets, thus reveling their true selves as Goddess of this Beautiful Mother Earth http://www.tantric-goddess.org/become_goddess.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Neither tantra nor worship of Dashamahavidyas has anything to do with empowering men or women. One has to be cautious if money is involved. There are quite a few non-sensical websites like above. , alexandra_108 <alexandra_108> wrote: > Should every one who reads this mail sends us a small sum of $ 27 >every six months, this project will be up and running within 12 >months from the day you read this mail. > > For the whole project to be completed we would need at least $US >200,000, and the project will take at least two years to complete. > > Tantric Goddess's aim is empower women, by invoking the power of the Ten Tantric Wisdom Goddess, Srividiya, Nityas & planets, thus reveling their true selves as Goddess of this Beautiful Mother Earth > http://www.tantric-goddess.org/become_goddess.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 They might be correct or incoorrect but in my opinion they are all an attempt to reach the Divine. --- Detective_Mongo_Phd <detective_mongo_phd wrote: > These correspondences are pretty much all incorrect > and artificial. > - > Satish Arigela > > Friday, June 04, 2004 10:01 AM > Re: Mahavidyas > > > Neither tantra nor worship of Dashamahavidyas has > anything to do with empowering men or women. > > One has to be cautious if money is involved.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2004 Report Share Posted June 5, 2004 I agree. And I am not very happy at this dredging for information in various groups. Then WITHOUT any sadhana whatsoever creating web sites. Information dredged from various sources are used and setting one up as a teacher is disgusting. It is dangerous too.
