Guest guest Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Kurukulla presides over the red drop (bindu) of life energy inherited from the mother, while varahi presides of the white inherited life energy drop from the father i just mentioned in my recent post on Jwalamukhi. The fusion of both drops generate a human being (or shri chakra) the five so called shaktis= downward pointing triangles of kurukulla together with the four fires (upward moving elements) of varahi form the the inner core (seed or sprout) of the shri chakra. The Lotus petals is the body or plant. It takes nine month = nine avaranas for the body to get ready to pierce the mothers womb. The primordial unified fiel of male female unity i mentioned is shown a little more elaborate in this symbolism, but essential the meaning of the burning water of Jwalamukhis pitha and the little more complex symbol of the 5 shaktis and 4 fires of the core of the sri chakra is similiar. It only elöaborates on the different forms of prana. , "NMadasamy" <nmadasamy@s...> wrote: > > kurukullA : This deity is located in the tank, called Vimarsamaya, in > the Sricakra, in the space between the walls of cit and ahamkAra; > concerning that tank, the LalitAstavaratna [v. 97] says, "I ever > meditate on that KurukulA, who resides in the ruby, Kuruvinda, whose > waist is bent by the weight of her breast which put mountains to shame > and whose body is smeared with red paste" This deity is described in > the twenty-second chapter of the TantrarAja. > > > BhAskararAya's Commentary > Translated into English by R.

Thus, She is symbolic of Vimarsa, or the objectification of Reality." - Dr. C.
