LalithA SahasranAma [240] CandramandalamadhyagA

[Guest guest]

CandramandalamadhyagA : Residing in the centre of the moon's disc.

 

Because Kundalini breaks through the moon in the pericarp of the

thousand-petalled lotus.

 

Or, in the evening prayer, the ceremony to obtain long life, etc.

Devi

should be contemplated in the moon's disc. In the Siva Pr. Siva says

to Devi, "I am residing in the head of fire, you are residing in the

head of the moon; thus the world consisting of fire and moon is

upheld

by us". The secret meaning is the moon's disc is the Sricakra itself.
