Guest guest Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 Jaya Jagannatha Dear Gaurav, Namaste There’s mistakes in your findings. Please try and correct them. Love, Swee On Behalf Of yobrevol Saturday, October 15, 2005 9:36 PM ; vedic astrology [Jaya Jagannatha] Das mahavidhya introduction article || Hare Rama Krishna || Namaste Swee ji, As always, its a delayed response from me. Here is what I am able to gather with respect to the Das Mahavidhyas..... The das Maha-Vidhyas or the ten great devi worship comes from the Todala Tantra Patalas out of ancient Hindu tantra. There are hundreds of such devi worships (vidhya) in tantra and out of which the 10 major ones are termed as mahavidhyas. There are several " levels " at which one can engage among the das mahavidhyas starting from a elementary yantra-sthapana combined with mantra worship to the higher full fledged and elaborate practices including tantra rituals and offerings as reveled in the Todala. The ten devi-form incarnations as reveled in the 10th chapter of Todala tantra, worshipping which ( any of the ten mahavidyas) gives the native complete control over his senses and/or fulfillment of the most materialistic of his desires. Below is a table that gives consort forms of each of the Vidhyas:- Devi Vidhyas Incarnated Form 1 Tara Blue form 2 Bagalamukhi Tortoise form 3 Dhumavati Boar form 4 Chinnamasta Narsimha form 5 Bhuvaneshvari Vamana Form 6 Matangi Rama form 7 Tripura Sundari Jamadagni form 8 Bhairavi Balabhadra form 9 Mahalakshmi Buddha form 10 Durga Kalki form 11 Kali Krishna Murti form **The last one (11th): Kali in the form of Krishna murti, is in italics because as reveled by Shiva in the Todala tantra, she is yet to arrive by herself. In Jyotish, Mahavidhya is considered as a higher remedy for severe planetary afflictions. The ten correspond to the nine planets + lagna as below: Das Maha-Vidhyas Associated Planet 1 Tara Jupiter 2 Bagalamukhi Mars 3 Dhumavati Ketu 4 Chinnamasta Rahu 5 Bhuvaneshvari Moon 6 Matangi Sun 7 Tripura Sundari Mercury 8 Bhairavi Lagna 9 Kamala Venus 10 Kali (Durga) Saturn I am in process of finding more information about Mahavidhya, including the Beeja-mantra associated with each of the das mahavidhyas.

Even the beej attached with each of their energies. Would be great. Love, Swee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
