Katyayani : The power that Unbind

[Guest guest]

Katyayani means "Virgin", "Eternal Virgins".

 

The concept of Virgins is rather different from an ancient and

modern conception. From an ancient conception, virgin had little to

do with abstinence from sexual intercourse. Virginity is an

indication of an independent autonomous woman. A woman who does not

require to answer to any man. A woman who knows what she wants. This

is what being said about Kali "No man can own Kali or tell her how

to act for she is mad with the love of the Divine"

 

If Our body is the temple. Going to the temple, is like diving deep

within us. The sanctum is the place were our "Goddess" resides. The

moment we enter into the "temple", we undergoes a metamorphosis. Our

secular character remains without. We shed it, like a snake shedding

its sledge. Once inside we may have said to die to time and returned

to the World Womb, the World Navel, the Earthly paradise – To the

Goddess. That is what happens in Skandamata. We go back to the

Mother, to the Goddess. We have seen the light. We have become the

ligth. "When changes is happening deep within us and in this

transformation, you are never the same again". We emerge from the

temple a spiritually reborn person. We become Katyayani. We becomes

the "Eternal Virgins".

 

The sword she carries signifies the breaking away of the karmic

bond. Katyayani is the power that breaks this cycle
