Guest guest Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 [633] EkAdasI [a]: The Eleventh, who is the chief deity of the ten quarters. All the ten quarters are held firm by the one basic power, EkAdasI, the eleventh. All energy flows divided through ten turbulent organs and they are pervaded by mind, the one basic power of the deity. That is EkAdasI. In yogic parlance EkAdasi refers to the ambrosial peaceful deity at Brahmarandhra three unit high from the junction of LumbikA Catuspath, or the central digit of the divine power. Here the goddess rules the serene state of universal oneness, that a yogic experiences. It is the state of pure consciousness, transcending the ten MahAvidyas. Foot Note: [a] The Vaisnavites mostly observe fast on EkAdasI day substituting milk and fruit only for their usual food, worship Lord Visnu and sing his names. ******************************************* [634] PurnA : Who is the lustre of soothing ecstasy like that of the full moon. The fifteen lunar digit is the perfection of the waxing process of the moon. It is so soothing and charming. Similarly the union of Kundalini Sakti with Siva in sahasrAra is eternally soothing. It makes ambrosia trickle to permeate the whole system of the earnestly devoted yogi. It is a stage of yoga perfection called Madhumati BhUmikA. Sakti is quite indistinguishably one with Siva. Her lustre is splendidly soothing and there is PUrnatA, no duality at all experienced in her immanent aspect, as is well described by SAmba : "O Sun god! with your luminosity you effect the moon to bring out the sixteenth digit, like the nectarial oblation [offered to gods] and offering the same into the fire of growth you bestow satisfaction to the whole world". The sixteenth digit of the moon is the nectar of all satisfaction. In macrocosm- PurnA is the state when Prakrti reabsorbs all its emanations into itself. It is said in PratyabhijNa, "when reabsorbing the objects, she [sakti] flashes Her nature, and so she is full".
