As devibhakta has written in the last mail that we have to get past all the

siddhis (anima, mahima, etc..) to get into sriyantra. what does it mean. do we

have to get all this siddhis to get in sri yantra or we have to forget about

this siddhis to get into sri yantra. I wish to know its actual explanation

I am not sure, but I think the "getting past" means aquire the siddhi – which

you aquire just by contemplating it, then internalise and dissolve it. When we

are going on a journey these are just stepping stones or tools as DB is won’t to

call them. When we get to HER we have something much more and we do not need

these sidhis except as stepping stones to the higher goal. Even the Khadgamala

is but a tool. Once we have HER we do not need ANYTHING else. Its like a cruch

used when there is a problem with the leg and it becomes unnecessary after the

leg is cured. There are a lot of everyday events where we use a "tool" and once

the purpose is achieved it is discarded. Holding on to a tool after one has

attained the goal (that includes Sadhana in any form) can be an impediment to

remain at the place we have reached. My statements may not be quite clear, but

DB or Nora or Mary Ann can put it in beautiful and understandable language.

 

 

 

Devi Bhakta wrote in his notes on the Khadgamala Devis : When we are doing the

pooja we are standing in front of her, facing her. After completing her pooja,

She is internalized from that spot, carried with us to the next Devi, and merged

with her. So when we reach Laghima, we are actually worshiping Laghima together

with the power of Anima. Thus we have, in essence, destroyed or overcome Anima

by merging her with Laghima; and it will continue thus, through the Siddhis and

other Devis of the Khadgamalaso on.

 

That's why, when we start the pooja from the outer enclosure, it is called

samhara karma, or the dissolution method. In samhara karma, each Devi is

worshiped and is absorbed into the next Devi, and it continues until we reach

Lalita, in whom, by that time, all the Devis will be absorbed.

 

 

 

I have been thinking about this Question for sometime. Indeed I can understand

Jatin Prakash confusion about this term “getting Pass” and “dissolution”,

“absorb”. I am having problem trying to visualize too. LOL.

 

 

 

Let us go through again what BD wrote in all his Khadgamala Devi’s write up :

“When we are doing the pooja we are standing in front of her, facing her. After

completing her pooja, She is internalized from that spot, carried with us to the

next Devi, and merged with her. So when we reach Laghima, we are actually

worshiping Laghima together with the power of Anima. Thus we have, in essence,

destroyed or overcome Anima by merging her with Laghima; and it will continue

thus, through the Siddhis and other Devis of the Khadgamala so on.

 

That's why, when we start the pooja from the outer enclosure, it is called

samhara karma, or the dissolution method. In samhara karma, each Devi is

worshiped and is absorbed into the next Devi, and it continues until we reach

Lalita, in whom, by that time, all the Devis will be absorbed.

 

 

 

What does it meant when he says “absorb”,“merge”,””overcome”. How do we do it?

 

 

 

DB wrote : “She is internalized from that spot, carried with us to the next

Devi”

 

 

 

I am trying to understand this. When we internalized her, don’t we become HER.

So do we carried HER to the next DEVI or do we, who is now “The DEVI” move on to

the next DEVI, standing in front of the next DEVI, facing HER, and embraced HER,

thereafter SHE dissolve to be part of US. This whole process goes on, until

eventually we becomes LALITHA, at the end of the journey?

 

 

 

So as we move on, at every level or at every DEVIS, the power/energy are being

absorbed or energised within us?

 

 

 

Come to think of it, can we actually call the Khadgamala as a formula, like a

mathematical formula, that we can use to harness the Energy within ?

 

 

 

I am not sure weather these thoughts/ question make sense, but these ideas are

all scattered all over the place in my head right now. I am trying to make sense

of them. LOL.
