Guest guest Posted October 28, 2004 Report Posted October 28, 2004 93 Thank U! I believe only, "vikAsitAnana" should be there. A. , "jaimaa1008" <jaimaa1008> wrote: > > Arjuna, > > The last line of the dhyana: > > vIxya vikasitAnanavarAmAdyAM bhajekAlikAm. > > -ch5/141 MNT Quote
Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Posted October 29, 2004 Namaste The primary symbolic form of Kali is surely Her Yantra: the triangular symbol of Yoni. Quote

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2004 Report 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.
