Guest guest Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 93 Thank U! I believe only, "vikAsitAnana" should be there.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Namaste The primary symbolic form of Kali is surely Her Yantra: the triangular symbol of Yoni. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Although, most Yantras contain triangles -- from the simplest Tara Yantra (only one triangle) to the complexities of the Shree Yantra (nine large triangles which intersect to create 43 smaller triangles). Upward-pointing triangles are more the symbol of Fire, and Shiva's Linga. Ma Kali's yantra specifically has five downward-pointing (Yoni) triangles, concentric like the layers of an onion. These symbolize her ruling over the five <bhutas> or elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Akasha). I've also heard that they symbolize the five syllables of her title, Pa-ram-esh-var-ee ("Supreme Lady"). -- Len/ Kalipadma On Sat, 30 Oct 2004 05:43:01 -0000 "Arjuna Taradasa" <bhagatirtha writes: > > > 93 > > Amen.
