Dakshima Kali Mantra - to J.Chatterji

[Guest guest]

You again provide the fake stuff

 

It is NOT beginning with Om, in Karpuradi-stotra as well. Moreover, it is NEVER

"dakShiNA"

in mantra!, it is either "dakShiNa" with short "a" or more frequently

"dakShiNe". You are

lacking even the basic grammar knowledge, but try to teach... Alas , such are

the

brahmans of kali-yuga...

which is

also called the `karpurAdi stotram' stemming from its first word `karpUr' which

literally

means camphor. The word `dakhshinA' in this context means `south' as She is

traditionally

seen as facing south. One meaning of the word `dakhshinA' is `a fee paid to a

priest',

inappropriately alluded to by some in this context. The base word, `dakhshin'

also means

right (as opposed to left), like referring to the right hand. The root

`dakhsha'means

`skilled' or ` expert'. This is in semblance with the Latin `dexter' for right-

handed, with the

same root giving `dexterous' and `dexterity'. (The left is `sinister').

`hell' are

rescued by the goddess, who is facing in the same direction. The Southern

transit of the

sun is also connected to the `night of the gods', so She may be said to be

facing the

`night'.

> `dakhsha' is also the name of the father of the Goddess in another form as

`satI'. And in

there is the story of the death of Sati because her father did not invite her

consort shiva to

his great fire-ceremony. The gods ended shiva's ensuing dance of destruction by

slicing

the body of satI into fifty-one parts. The sites at which her body fell gave

rise to the 51

`shakti-pithas' all over the Indian sub-continent.

> The dakhshinA kAli mantra is described in the first six verses of the

karpurAdi stotram

in terms of its individual parts and letters. The mantra consists of 22

syllables. In Sanskrit,

the syllable is the `akhshara'. The word could mean letter (vowel or consonant)

but also

means `that which is not dissipated'. The root `khsara' means `that which is

destructible'.

So, Brahman, `the ultimate reality' is expressed in the `akhshara'. The Bhagabat

Gita thus

refers to `akhshara Brahman'.

Sanskrit

script shows the first seven terms of the mantra preceded by the `Aum' on the

first line.

The `dakh-shi-nA-kA-lI-ke' (six syllables) on the second line. The last line

shows the last

nine syllables ending in `swA-hA'. The end sound of the seeds are between `m'

and `ng'

and are nasalized; krIm ~ krIng, hUm ~ hUng, hrIm ~ hrIng.
