Chhinnamasta, The Mahavidya

[Guest guest]

Goddess Chhinnamasta is the most mysterious and the most rewarding

of the ten mahavidyas, the ten most powerful goddesses of tantra.

The knowledge of this goddess and the ritual to get her blessings,

which is very difficult, is not known to many which adds to the fear

for her. That's why most people prefer to stay away from her.

 

Chhinnamasta means the goddess who has beheaded herself. It is

believed that even a slight mistake in her worship may get the

worshiper beheaded. Though, it's just a myth.

 

Like most mahavidyas, Goddess Chhinnamasta, too, has a unique and

fearsome appearance. Those who do not understand actual meaning of

her appearance may find her horrific and terrible. She is naked

because she is devoid of all coverings of illusion. She has severed

her own head which means her worshipers must get rid of their egos.

This also means detachment from the earth, her gravity and all

wordly things after which one progresses spiritually and gets the

strength to grasp all super-natural powers granted by the goddess

like the power to become invisible, the power to fly, the power to

get anything out of thin air and the power to be at many places at

once.

 

The goddess also blesses her worshiper with happiness, victory,

success, health, wealth and knowledge.
