BhavAnI nAma Sahasra Stutih : Namas 648, 649 , & 650

[Guest guest]

[648] MahAbhairavapujitA : The goddess MahabhairavI worshipped by

MahAbhairava Siva.

 

ParA-Siva is called MahAbhairava as He is the source of creation,

protection and reabsorption of the universe. He worships MahabhairavI

Sakti. Siva Himself expressed the secret to his earnest devotee

Nandikesvara : "By Her grace alone I sing this hymn of praise simply

to worship Her". The transcendent Siva can be active only through Para

Sakti. Mother of the universe. He is therefore one with Her.

 

[649] NirmundA : She who is free from modality.

No model can determine the truth of Supreme Consciousness which is

free to take any form in any way in the sphere of manifestation. ParA

Sakti is free and self-willed in her sportive activity. This is

explained by KsmarAja's PratyabhijnArdayam [ The secret of self

Recognition] :"By the power of her own self alone she [CitI] unfolds

the universe upon her own screen [ ie in herself as the basis of the

universe]" There is neither desire nor non-inclination present in her

sport. By denotation Siva and Sakti are one and the same. They are two

by connotation only.

 

"Siva or consciousness is conceived as being dynamic and the very

dynamism of Siva is called Sakti or KryA' Therefore, JNAna and KriyA,

PrakAsa and Vimarsa, Siva and Sakti are one. There can be no modality.

The self is known by the self alone. There is no head to point to.

Only the inner conscience can grasp the truth. There is complete

disentanglement of the sense objects.

 

The Bhagwadgita says :"He whose happiness is within, whose delight is

within, whose illumination is within, only that yogi becomes Brahman

and gains the beatitude of Brahman".

 

Therefore "God vision is impossible until desire is vanquished". It is

only the desire that takes a model. Supreme Deity is all free.

 

 

[650] HastinI : The goddess whose hands stand for kinetic energy.

Motion is the law of Nature. The primordial Energy flows in varied

movements to manifest itself as well as to stop all outward

manifestation as and when desired. The differet forms of deities

emanating from the Supreme Self called ParA sakti are described to

possess two, four, eight, ten or eighteen hands [or arms], to perform

their different roles. Different weapons and objects like sword,

discus, mace, bow, arrow, sling, lance, iron club, lotus conch, human

head etc are wielded by these hands. This is all enigmatic to the

modern mind. But the fact is that the supreme power is inscrutable,

by which the whole universe is permeated and energised. The hands

represent the capacity for work. Potential energy is displayed by

holding different weapons and objects in hands of the deities to

uphold virtue and tread vice in the world.
