The Sakti or Devi is thus the Brahman revealed in the mother aspect

(Srimata) as creatrix and nourisher of the worlds. Her first name in

the Sri Lalita Sahasranama is Sri Mata. The reason such names are

taken from that scared text is because the Great Adi Shakti Herself

acknowledged during Guru Puja at Camp Interval, Quebec, Canada on

July 23, 1994, that Her original name is Shri Lalita Devi. Thus the

1000 names of Shri Lalita Sahasranama are attributed to Shri Mataji

Nirmala Devi in the www.adishakti.org website.

 

The many other incidents and revelations i am talking about are

mainly esoteric in nature. The entire Sri Lalita Sahasranama is

esoteric in nature and i believe this to be the Book of

Enlightenment (Kitab al Munir) that the Qur'an refers to:

 

And verily the Hour will come: There can be no doubt about it,

Or about (the fact) that Allah will raise up all who are in the

graves.

Yet there is among men such a one as disputes about Allah,

Without knowledge, without guidance and without the Book of

Enlightenment (Kitab Al Munir),

Disdainfully bending his side in order to lead men astray from the

path of Allah:

For him there is disgrace in this life, and on the Day of Judgement,

We shall make him taste the Penalty of Burning (Fire)

 

surah 22:7-9 Al Hajj (The Pilgrimage)

(Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an, 1989.)

 

http://www.adishakti.org/kitab_al_munir.htm

 

 

So even the Qur'an proclaims that no Muslim will know about God

Almighty (Brahman) without the Book of Enlightenment. Since Shri

Mataji is His Ruh sent to declare that Al-Qiyamah (The Resurrection)

has begun, and the Ruh within admits Her original name is " Lalita " ,

then we have to assume that the Sri Lalita Sahasranama is the Book

of Enlightenment. All Her 1000 names are esoteric in nature and

anyone who understands them will know what God Almighty (Brahman) is

within us and how His Shakti witnesses everything we humans do and

recorded by the kundalini (which will bear witness against those who

trangress). That Shakti is the Sacred Mother who lives within all

beings and guides/protects/nourishes those who seek Her.

 

That is why my daughter once told me that we humans have three

mothers - the physical mother who gave birth, the spiritual Mother

within who nourishes and guides us, and Mother Earth who sustains

all life. (But such knowledge is only possible if it is experienced

and cross-examined against the religious texts.) It is the Sacred

Mother within that we now pay attention to and not Her external

manifestation. His Shakti (Holy Spirit/Ruh) within is indeed the

Seer, the Seen and the Seeing within all beings. He is the Knower,

the Measurer. Both are one and the same, inseperable like the sun

and its light.

" The Goddess is the great Sakti. She is Maya, for of her the maya

which produces the samsara is. As Lord of Maya she is Mahamaya. Devi

is avidya because she binds, and vidya because she liberates and

destroys the samsara. She is praktri and as existing before creation

is the Adya Sakti. Devi is the Vacaka Sakti, the manifestation of

Cit in Praktri, and the Vicya Sakti or Cit itself. The Atma should

be contemplated as Devi. Sakti or Devi is thus the Brahman revealed

in the mother aspect (Srimata) as creatrix and nourisher of the

worlds. Kali say of herself in Yogini Tantra: " I am the bodily form

of Saccidananda and I am the brahman that has emanated from brahman. "

" O Goddess, who removes the suffering of Your supplicants, be

gracious!

Be gracious, O Mother of the whole world!

Be gracious, O Queen of the universe; Safeguard the universe!

You, O Goddess, are Queen of all that is movable and unmovable!

You alone has become the support of the world,

Because You do subsist in the form of Earth!

By You, who exists in the form of water, all this universe is filled,

O You inviolable in Your valor; You are the Gem of the universe,

You are Illusion sublime! All this world has been bewitched, O

Goddess;

You indeed when attained, are the cause of the final emancipation

from existence on Earth! . . .

O Goddess, be gracious!

Protect us wholly from fear of our foes perpetually,

As You have at this very time saved us promptly by the slaughter of

the demons!

And You bring quickly to rest the sins of all the worlds,

And the great calamities which have sprung, from the maturing of

portents!

To us who are prostrate be You gracious,

O Goddess, who takes away affliction from the universe!

O You worthy of praise from the dwellers of the three worlds,

Bestow Your boons on this world!

 

Markendeya Purana, Candi Mahatmya 10

They ask thee concerning the Spirit.

Say: " The Spirit (cometh) by command of my Lord:

Of knowledge it is only a little that is communicated to you. "

If it were Our Will, We could take away that which We have sent thee

by inspiration:

Then wouldst thou find none to plead thy affair in that matter

against Us.

 

surah 17: 85-86 Al Isra' (Night Journey)

Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur'an

 

 

--------------

 

" The mother is the most lovable person for a living being. A child

always calls upon his mother first when he is in difficulty. But a

biological mother, though a symbol of divinity, can only remove

physical difficulties and that too only partly. The Holy Mother is

the causative and creative force of the entire universe. She is

infinite and limitless. She is omnipresent both in forms and as

formless. She is all powerful to remove all kinds of sorrows and

sufferings.

 

Sri means Laksmi (goddess of wealth), Sarasvati (goddess of

learning), prosperity, beauty, success, decorated with jewels,

supreme intellect and one who can impart knowledge of vedas. Here

Sri refers to the power of speech and Sabda-brahman.

 

Sri-mata is the progenitor of all - whole universe, Nature, Brahma,

Vishnu, Mahesa. She is all supreme - Parabrahman. The three names of

the Divine Mother - mata, rajni and isvari refer to the three

phenomena of creation, preservation and destruction of the universe

due to three aspect of the supreme.

 

Om Sri-Matre namah "

 

R. Prasad, Lalita-Sahasranama

" Shakti is the hidden power that turns matter into life. She is

the

divine spark, the flow of God's love.

 

Anyone who is connected with spirit has Shakti, which manifests in

five ways that the God Herself manifests. (For the sake of

simplicity I will use the word God and apply feminine pronouns

whenever I have the goddess Shakti in mind.) As described in the

ancient Shiva Sutras — " teaching about Shiva " — these are

five

powers:

 

Chitta Shakti: the awareness of God

Ananda Shakti: the bliss of God

Icha Shakti: the desire or intention to unite with God

Gyana Shakti: knowledge of God

Kriya Shakti: action directed toward God

 

If the voice of God spoke to you, Her powers would be conveyed in

simple, universal phrases:

 

Chitta Shakti: " I am. "

Ananda Shakti: " I am blissful. "

Icha Shakti: " I will " or " I intend. "

Gyana Shakti: " I know. "

Kriya Shakti: " I act. "

 

If a child came to me and asked, " How did God make me? " these five

things would be my answer, because this is how God made Herself, or

at least made Herself known to us, and at each stage of giving birth

a new exclamation of discovery emerged. First She experienced

Herself as existence ( " I am! " ), then creative joy ( " I am

blissful! " ), pulsing desire ( " I will! " ), cosmic mind ( " I know! " ),

and finally the shaping force that molds all things ( " I act!).

Because none of these except " I am " had ever existed before, each

came as a revelation.

 

All of these qualities have universal application . . . These five

powers form a cascade, spilling like water from unmanifest spirit to

the material world. Tagore employed almost the same analogy when he

poetically asked, " Where is this fountain that throws out these

flowers in such a ceaseless outbreak of ecstasy? " In one beautiful

line he states the mystery precisely. What is the origin of the

infinite display of nature's abundance? The flowers are outside,

but

the fountain is inside, in divine essence. To realize this you must

become that fountain; you must have the assurance that the flow of

life can gush through your being at full force. This state of

connection is supreme existence. When you join the cosmic dance, the

powers of God as creator-mother fully infuse you. "

 

Deepak Chopra, The Path of Love

 

 

--------------

 

" The West is exiled of the Goddess — her features are unknown to

us,

guessed at, hoped for, rejected as aberration, feared as monstrous

or deformed. We in the West are haunted by the loss of our Mother.

Our mother country is a place many have never visited, though it is

endlessly projected as a golden matriarchy, or paradise, but though

the house of the Goddess is in disrepair after so many centuries of

neglect, some have begun the work of restoration while others have

already moved back in and are renovating from within. . .

 

Sophia is the great lost Goddess who has remained intransigently

within orthodox spiritualities. She is veiled, blackened, denigrated

and ignored most of the time: or else she is exalted, hymned and

pedestalled as an allegorical abstraction of female divinity. She is

allowed to be a messenger, a mediator, a helper, a handmaid; she is

rarely allowed the privilege of being seen to be in charge, fully

self-possessed and creatively operative.

 

Sophia is the Goddess for our time. By discovering her, we will

discover ourselves and our real response to the idea of a Divine

Feminine principle. When that idea is triggered in common

consciousness, we will begin to see an upsurge of creative

spirituality which will sweep aside the outworn dogmas and unlivable

spiritual scenarios which many currently inhabit. When Sophia walks

among us again, the temple of each heart will be inspirited for she

will be able to make her home among us properly; up to now, she has

been sleeping rough in just about every spirituality you can

name. . . .

 

Yet the Goddess of Wisdom is not a newcomer to our phenomenal world,

so how is it we have failed to notice her? The Western world has

been so busy about its affairs that only a few unusual people have

had time to comment on her existence. When they have talked or

written about her, it has been in such overblown esoteric language

that few had taken notice. Wisdom trades under impossible titles:

Mother of the Philosophers, the Eternal Feminine, Queen of Good

Counsel and other such nominations do not inspire confidence. . . .

Frequently reduced to God's secretary, who nevertheless still

supplies all the efficiency of the divine office, she is from all

time, the treasury of creation, the mistress of compassion.

 

When we speak of God, no one asks, `which God do you mean?'

as they

do when we speak of the Goddess. The West no longer speaks the

language of the Goddess, because the concept has been almost totally

erased from consciousness, although many are trying to remember it.

Our ancestors were very young when they were taken from the cradle

and it is now difficult for us, their descendants, to speak or think

of a feminine deity without the unease of someone in a foreign

country. We have been raised to think of Deity as masculine and

therefore a goddess is a shocking idea. But we do not speak here of

a goddess, rather of the Goddess, and we speak it boldly and with

growing confidence, because we find we like the taste of the idea.

 

When did we make up this idea? some ask. We didn't invent this

Goddess. She was always there, from the beginning, we tell them.

Somehow, humanity left home and forgot its mother. Perhaps our

ancestors took her for granted so much that they lost touch? Well,

our generation wants to come back home now and be part of the family

in a more loving way, because the West has still got a lot of

growing up to do and the Goddess has a lot to teach us.

 

What or who is the Goddess then? Deity is like colourless light,

which can be endlessly refractured through different prisms to

create different colours. As the poet William Blake said: `All

deities reside in the human breast.' The images and metaphors

which

we use to describe deity often reflect the kind of society and

culture within which we have grown up. After two thousand years of

masculine images, the time of Goddess reclamation has arrived. The

Goddess is just as much Deity as Jesus, or Allah, or Jehovah. She

does not choose to appear under one monolithic shape, however. Each

person has a physical mother; similarly, the freedom of the Divine

Feminine to manifest in ways appropriate to each individual has

meant that she has many appearances.

 

The re-emergence of the Divine feminine — the Goddess — in

the

twentieth century has begun to break down the conceptual barriers

erected by orthodox religion and social conservatism. For the first

time in two millennia, the idea of a Goddess as the central pivot of

creation is finding a welcome response. The reasons are not

difficult to seek: our technological world with its pollution and

imbalanced ecology has brought our planet face to face with its own

mortality; our insistence on the transcendence of Deity and the

desacralization of the body and the evidence of the senses threatens

to exile us from our planet.

 

The Goddess appears as a corrective to this world problems on many

levels. In past ages she has been venerated as the World-Soul or

spirit of the planet as well as Mother of the Earth. Her wisdom

offers a better quality of life, based on balanced nurturing of both

body and spirit, as well as satisfaction of the psyche. But we live

in a world in which the Goddess does not exist, for a vast majority

of people. They have no concept of a Deity as feminine. As Bede

Griffiths has recently written: `The feminine aspect of God as

immanent in creation, pervading and penetrating all things, though

found in the Book of Wisdom, has almost been forgotten . . . The

Asian religions with their clear recognition of the feminine aspect

of God and of the power of God, the divine shakti permeating the

universe, may help us to get a more balanced view of the created

process. Today we are beginning to discover that the earth is a

living being, a Mother who nourishes us and of whose body we are

members.' . . .

 

Significantly, the major mystics of all faiths have perceived Sophia

as the bridge between everyday life and the world of the eternal,

often entering into deep accord with her purpose. But though such

mystics as the medieval Abbeses Hildegard of Bingen or the Sufi, Ibn

Arabi, are hardly considered to be `Goddess-worshippers' in

the

feminist sense, they nevertheless show that the channels of the

Divine Feminine have been kept open and mediated upon by many so-

called patriarchal faiths. "

i wish to make a correction: But such knowledge is only (admissible)
