BhavAnI nAma Sahasra Stutih : Namas 691, 692 & 693

[Guest guest]

[691] AvantikA : Who is difficult to reach without a skilful sAdhanA.

 

Ava=away from; antika =reach. Kundalini Power is properly awakened

through hard but skilful yogic practices followed under the graceful

instructions of a Guru who is quite adept in the line. Hence it is

essential to be quite adept in Sakti SAdhanA to be worthy of the grace

of the Supreme Power. The Upanisas calls the deity as 'hard to see',

because of its extreme subtleness : lodged inaccessibly, located in

the intellect and existing in the midst of misery [a], but everlasting.

 

Foot Note :

[a] Body and senses are the source of misery.

 

 

 

[692] AyodhyA [a]: Who is unassaible.

The Divine Power is always unassailable by divine or anti-divine acts

of Devas and DAnavas. Fire god and wind god, even then Lord Indra had

to accept the supremacy of Brahman, when UmA HaimavatI appeared to

convince them of the Highest Truth.

The three episodes of DurgA Saptasati contain accounts how DurgA

vanquished Madhu and Kaitabha. MahisAsura and Sumbha and Nisumbha

demons along with their power warriors like raktabIja. She is

unassailable.

 

Foot Note :

[a] The capital of solar kings, born of the line of Raghu, situated on

the river Sarayu. AyodhyA is modern Oudh, one of the holy cities of

Hindua.

 

 

[693] DvAraka [a]: Who acts as portress.

Th egreat power of ParA Sakti also assumes the form of AdhAhkundalinI

to act as portress to the realm of Siva-Sakti at SahasrAra. No idea of

duality can enter that royal path since it is the path of love and

devotion where two cannot be accomodated. The Goddess is that power of

devotional love.

 

Foot Note :

[a] Name of the capital city on the western point of Gujarat. As the

abode of Sri Krisna the city excelled even AmarAvatI in beauty. It had

fifty main gates to which sharp machine rockets, big iron wheels etc

were fitted for protection of YAdavas from King KarAsandhu. It is

reported to have sunk in the ocean now.
