Khadgamala Series : [ 7/25 ] Sarva Khechari [Mudra]

[Guest guest]

Guarding the yellow, innermost wall of the first enclosure are the “Control

Devis”. In the scheme of the Khadgamala, each of the Mudra Saktis represent a

human passion that must be overcome and controlled before we can enter further

into Sri Chakra. We worship each passion as an aspect of Devi, then internalize

it; and when we internalize each deity, we *become* Her, so that She is not

separate from us. In that way, we "conquer" each passion, just as – in the outer

and middle line wall – we conquered each Siddhi and Matrikas. The procedure to

control these passions is to obtain the powers of: agiting all, liquifying all

(this also refers to the physical sensation of orgasm), attracting all,

controlling all, maddening all, directing all, moving in all space, be the

information of all, be the source (yoni) of all, be tri-fold division of all

(the knower, the knowing, and the known). Once you have internalized all of the

sarva devis, you have completed the process of neutralizing the

urge to worldly power (siddhis) and the crippling emotions (matrikas)

 

 

 

The sarva devis ARE the mudras that personify the ten most essential SV mudras.

 

 

 

Sarva Kechari is the seventh [7th ] Mudra devis and in this aspect she

represents the power that moves or flies all through space without regard to

time or distance. Khechari lets us fly -- anywhere, free of time and space BUT

she is also said to bind. According to Shri Bhasurananda Natha, Sarva Khechari

was unique to srividya, and perhaps the most sophisticated and difficult mudra.

 

 

 

** Perhaps Devi Bhakta, Kochu, Guru Amritaji or other members would like to

expand on this. **

 

 

 

Sarva Khechari mantra is : aim hrim shrim sarvakhecari mudrAsakti shrI pAdukAM

pujayAmi tarpayAmi Namah.

 

 

 

Location of Khechari : Continuing to circumambulate clockwise around the third

layer of the wall of the First Enclosure, turn the corner and SARVA KHECHARI

sits at the next corner ahead of you (looking at a flat yantra facing East, the

would be the upper righthand that will be NorthEast [ NO 7, Black ]

Again, the full pooja of these Devis takes hours, because at each point we pause

and do smaller, detailed poojas. Hence the sages of yore created an ALTERNATIVE,

SHORT-FORM recitation known as the Khadgamala Stotram more suitable for the

demands of modern life.

 

 

 

According to Sri Bhasurananda Natha an accomplish Srividya upasak as well as a

member of and advisor to this group: "All of the sadhana of Srividya can be

achieved by the recitation of the Khadgamala. Hours of long ritual compressed to

less than half an hour of intense meditation that will give you a ticket on the

same plane as the great Srividya Upasakas. Whatever your developmental stage,

this is IT. Even those who have not been initiated into Srividya can benefit

from the Khadgamala, which is why we chose to offer it to our members here.

 

 

 

But again, please note that the beauty of the Khadgamala Stotram is that NOTHING

is required for its recitation except for your time, attention and

concentration: You need simply sit and recite the Stotram. The mantra given just

above is not part of the stotram; it is offered merely for informational

purposes.The entire stotram is self-contained. See link below :

Well we work as a team here right? Everybody plays a part. If one

member is "busy" with their non web obligation the other takes over.

After all we all have our own famlies, work etc to attend to. Though

its good to be able to spend longer time over the computer, I feel

sometimes its good or rather healty to get away from it once in a

while least we too becomes addicted. Im being told that Cyber

addiction is a real medical problem now. I have seen a young patient,

as soon as the computer being switch off, his "mind" to goes off. How

sad sometimes. I managed to get on hold of a book entittled

Cyberculture. Interesting stuff written by sociologist on the effect

of the cyberspace in our daily living and the emergence of the new

revolution : Cyber Culture.

 

Okay! back to our Khadgamala Series: I wrote : Sarva Kechari is the

seventh [7th ] Mudra devis and in this aspect she represents the

power that moves or flies all through space without regard to

time or distance. Khechari lets us fly -- anywhere, free of time and

space BUT she is also said to bind.

 

I am still trying to understand this. "To bind" What does that mean?

Bind to what? Bind us to this earthly world or should we maintain the

realities of this world?

[Guest guest]

I was reading something, I thought might add another dimension,

to Nora's explanation:

This is from Dyczkowski's The Doctrine of Vibration: An analysis of

the Doctrines and Practices of Kashmir Shaivism.

 

"the powers of khechari are the very essence of the expansion of

conciousness and bliss. They are the attributes of conciousness when

it is in its most expanded, unconditioned state. These are five:

omnipotence,omniscience,perfect completeness, freedom from natural

law and eternality. At the level of the ...individual subjectivity

when conciousness limits itself prior to any contact with the

subjective sphere, these same powers function as the fice

obscuring ...coverings which limit the five divine attributes of

conciouness."[which are] the power of limited action,limited

knowledge, attachment,natural law,and the power of time.

 

Thus what gives us the power to fly free can also bind us. It can

either be a source of bondage for those deluded or it can represent

the powers of enlightenment.Perhaps this answers the question, to

bind...?
