Lalitasahasranama

[Guest guest]

In 1999, I got in the habit of keeping the

Lalitasahasranama close by my bed, and reading from it

after my meditation until I fell asleep. In the summer

of 2000 I went to Starwood Festival. This was the

month of 3 eclipses, and the lunar one had just

passed.. I will never forget the spectacular moonrise

the night we arrived..there were all kinds of

deity-forms in the clouds, including a Shiva Lingam,

and the moon was so bright it was coming through the

clouds in rays like a searchlight, edging them with

brilliance. Well, the next day I met, purely by

chance, a grandson of Aleister Crowley (from his last

Scarlet Woman), who was also a tulku (a reincarnated

Tibetan lama) of the Drukpa (Red Hat)tradition. He

told me many remarkable stories, including how he met

the Rinpoche that "recognized" him, this was,

apparently, his ninth incarnation as a lama. He was

quite a singular man; it was easy to get an idea of

the compelling personality of his grandfather!! The

next day, quite out of the blue, he gave me an

initiation into Red Tara, also known as "Kurukulla",

Lady of the Iron Hook. When I got back home, I picked

up my Lalitasahasranama as usual, opened it at random,

and there it was: "She who is Kurukulla"!
