Guest guest Posted April 4, 2002 Report Share Posted April 4, 2002 Jaya Jaya Shankara ! Namastripurasundaryai ! Namo Chandramouleeeshwaraaya ! Namo Naarasimhaaya ! Chakrasamketa : Goddess Mahatripurasundari as baalaa in her icchaa Shakti aspect shines in the heart. The power of volition always refers to Anaahata chakra. It is the ever-aware will that pervades the powers of knowledge and activity. The center remains ever fresh just as day is bright with sunlight and wards off all evils with its presence. When knowledge predominated over activity, it leads towards release, the final beatitude of life. Then the power of thought Icchha Shakti is at work. The place of this power is the heart, the center of involution and absorption. Ordinarily, when a person takes a problem to the domain of heart or thinks over it earnestly, but tenderly, then the tendency towards the solution grows. The person then voluntarily or involuntarily finds the solution in a surprise. The heart symbolizes complete comprehension when all trash (samskaaras) gets burnt as we see that all filth is destroyed when the sun shines bright. Icchaa Shakti predominating over the other two shaktis thus works towards serenity which leads to the realization of universal oneness called the supreme state of consciousness. The presiding power of this is indeed Mahatripurasundari. Her glory is like that of the sun and as worthy of attainment. Just as the sun never sets so is the awareness ever alive in the heart of an earnest devotee of the divine mother Lalitha. Mantrasamketa : The mantra sauh may be explained again in the light of Icchha Shakti. This power is also called visarga Shakti, the energy of release. Visarga connotes pouring of ambrosia or the final beatitude. The trichotomy of the world phenomena (maata.meya and maana) is absorbed into oneness or the sameness – sattaa saamaanya avasthaa (as explained in Yogaa vaasishthaa), just as sun's blaze reduces all inflammable objects to ashes. Then all duality disappears. The glory of the blissful sun of spirituality pervades the manifest and unmanifest universe. The seat of this bija is the heart. Analysis of the mantra is : sa means with and `ou' stands for determination and visraga for release…thus " with determination, this bija brings about release from all bondages " is what the mantra means. This bija is also called Paraa bija (especially by trika tradition). On its accomplishment, Mahatripurasundari reveals the supreme reality as herself and as sadhaka's own self. Also, `Sa' represents Jiva constituting of 31 tatwas from prithvi upto maaya. `Au' stands for suddha vidya,sadashiva,Ishwara tatwas as also the Iccha Jnana Kriya Shaktis of Tripura Bhairavi. This is represented by shoola bija which is aptly adopted by Shaivaite tantra rather than srividya. Hence I omit discussion of this trishula concept. Visarga represents the display of powers by Shakti inherent in Shiva. It is the level where an advanced aspirant feels an influx of an internal delight owing to the awakening of the Kundalini. It is rightly called Kshobhaatmaka visarga, the process of flow of the five cognitive energies that swell up out of sheer delight. There is no physical sexual contact at all though this is the orgasm of the real brahma maithuna. This is also called Jnana mudraa. This bija is also referred to as Bhairaveeya hridaya or Bhairava's heart in Paraatrishikaa. By chanting this mantra with concentration, volition turns into determination for release from the bonds of the world and attainment of the final beatitude. This mantra is also called Vaadava mantra since it burns all action through knowledge to find repose in the supreme self. In the order of manifestation or srishti krama, it is the state of Vaikhari, the spoken word of spontaneous delight. Soon after taking to meditation on Mahatripurasundari, grace comes as a sudden surprise. Effulgent glory of the Aatman is revealed in a flash. With the realization of the powers of knowledge, activity and volition according to chakrasamketa and by continuosly chanting the Baala mantra, duly received from a sampradaayavit Guru according to the norms of Kulaachaara, with perfect concentration at the forehead, head and the heart, according to mantrasamketa, Tripura who is the fourth, the incomprehensible, unperceivable, formless, fine, beyond what we can think of, Being and Becoming, Prakasha and Vimarsha both in one, reveals herself in a moment of grace mysteriously. Baala tripurasundaryai Namah !!!!!!!1 harshanand_16 Bangalore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
