Guest guest Posted January 7, 2003 Report Share Posted January 7, 2003 Namaskar Respected Members, I understand that Lalita has a triple form of Maiden-Mother-Crone (Bala, Lalita, and Bhairavi). Granted, all Goddesses are one, but is Lalita's Bhairavi form the same as the Tripura Bhairavi/Durga form of the Dasamahavidyas? Or is Bhairavi yet another specialized form of Lalita? If Bhairavi is different than Tripura Bhairavi/Durga, then can anyone provide a dhyana or other information on Her? Thank you. AUM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripura Bhairavi drove the chariot of Lalita Parameshvari into the battle-field during the war with Bhandasura. Her dhyana is similiar to that of Bala Tripura Sundari i.e with akshamala(rosary), book, and Abhaya and varada mudras except that She wears of garland of skulls which Bala Tripura Sundari does not. Atleast according to some texts, the dhyanas seem to suggest that both Bhairavi s are the same. Interestingy, the mantras of Bala and Bhairavi look similar. corrections welcome rgds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rama VishwambharaDasanudas Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 2014 The dhyana FOr Bhairavi is completely different. Tripura Bhairavi is meditated as sitting on a corpse, shining like a thousand suns, with three eyes, wearing red cloth, her lips and breasts are smeared with blood while she smiles slightly with a necklace of human heads(not skulls) around her neck with palm leaves (old time books), rosary, varada and abhaya mudra in her four hands. The Goddess represents the form of a woman whose menstruation has stopped. (This is NOT the form of a crone--see Dhumavati for that). She is the destructive aspect of fire who destroys all negativity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
