Guest guest Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 LS 755 – “ ChandikA“ Chandika means ANGER. She is angry with the jivas who do not show bhakthi to Her and act Non dharmically. Chanda means anger and Chandi is a derivation. Chanda is also an asura of DM who went against the Shastra maryadha. Therefore all our Dharma shastras and injunctions are very sacred to every Hindu. And respect for it is through observance. Anger or rage is also one of the Lakshanas of Brahman. Therefore Chandi devi is the Very Brahman. ( As per Bhashyam of Pujya Bhaskara Raya – for this reference is made to Sri Rudram in the anuvaka Namasthe Rudra Manyavey ) A girl of seven years is called Chandika in Devi Bhagavatha and Kumari Puja is done invoking her during Chandi Homa. This connotes that Mother is guileless, pure and power preservative. In Maha Shodasa Nyasa Chandika is known as Kala Rupa. The Cumulative energy of Maha Kali, Maha Laxmi, Maha Saraswathy is Chandika Devi as per DM. When ever the adharama manifests and dharma is at Stake – Amba Manifests herself.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 dear ganapathyji many pranams your explanation for the nAmA "chandikA" makes me think again and again on that. i have few doubts. if my thinking is not correct kindly correct me. 1. you have said "She is angry with the jivas who do not show bhakthi to Her". is she really bothers about our bhakthi when she is avyAja karunA mUrthi? when we worship her or not, she cares for us. is it not? 2. anger is also one of the lakshanas of brahman. ok. but is it useful when she gets angry on us, when she can do anything even without anger? tiruvalluvar says "sellidattukkAkkil sinam kAkka" (obstain from your angry on your fellows where you can show your angry - rough translation). i fell, please correct me if i am wrong, here anger means, she "freightens us" . anger is a feeling. but here, it is a show. when we are doing non-dharmic acts, she freightens us and makes us not doing the same. hence can i derive from your explanation that the nAmA means " one who is freightening us" and not one who is with anger? 3. here this anger is also beautiful. is it not? when we see pratyangarA dEvi or vakrakAli at tiruvakkarai or when we see vayal nAchi amman (bruhan nAyagi) at vElangudi (near karaikudi, sivagangai dist, tamilnadu - who is the deity for 7 villages), we not only see her anger but also the beauty of that (ofcourse when we are not at fault). with expectations to read more about mA from you and with many pranams vaidyanathan wrote: LS 755 – “ ChandikA“ Chandika means ANGER.
