BhavAnI nAma Sahasra Stutih : Namas 686 & 687

[Guest guest]

[686] JaladevatA : The presiding deity of water.

The Divine Mother is the source of life on earth. In the Rg. Veda

She Herself declared :"My origin is in the waters, in the ocean".

She gives birth to Father Sun. She resides in the water and through

it enters into the created beings. Ultimately dissolves all creation

through water. She is the deity of water.

 

[687] KuruksetrAvanih : The battle field of Kurus.

The goddess as Ranacandi prevailed in the MahAbhArata war which was

fought between the Kauravas and the PAndavas in the battle field of

Kuruksetra [a]. The former represent the vice [evil] and the latter

the virtue [good]. The battle field is the body in which the Jiva

lives. There is always battle going on between the good [Pandavas]

and the evil [Kauravas]. The basis of all that is the goddess

Herself.

 

The Upanisad says,: "Kurusetra is the place for making oblations to

god and the abode of the supreme spirit for mortals. Kuruksetra is

indeed the point of liberation". In Tantra Yoga this refers to

success in concentration at AjnA cakra of a yogi. Struggle of

SAdhanA ends there. And that is possible by the grace of awakened

KundalinI BhagavatI.

Foot Note:

[a] Kuruksetra is the name of an extensice plain in the Haryana

State of India, the scene of the great war of MahAbhArata, fought

between PAndavas and Kauravas. It is said also one of the famous

fifty one Sakti Pithas.

Note : The seven names of these and the other names follow in

nos 689 -94. Mention of these names is made in Devi BhAgvata also.

KAsi is a celebrated city on the Ganges, modern Varanasi or Benaras.

visAlaksi is one of the fifty one Sakti Pithas here.
