Chidvilasa Stavah

As per the shruti vakya *prakritEr mahAn mahato ahamkArah....*, the manifold

creation springs forth from Mahat of the Para tattva. The upasaka has to go

back to this mula swarupa (para tatta)

with the help of his Sadhana which is the OBJECTIVE OF TANTRA SADHANA IN GENERAL

AND SRIVIDYA IN PARTICULAR.

 

There is only one principle that EXISTS which is advaya, akhanda chit tattva and

the bahu bheda (differences in creation) is like the sarpa (snake) bhavana by

mistake which is actually the rope (rajju) (vide refer the rajju-sarpa nyaya of

vedanta).

 

The reality is that infact there is only the Rope but ignorant perceive the Rope

to be a Snake. Similarly, the manifold creation

is of the form of *Chit* which is akhanda tattva. Hence, dissolving all the

principles in this Chit and contemplation of the same has to be done while

performing the *udvAsana* to the Devi. The abidance in THAT form of CHIT is the

vastava udvAsana / visarjana prakriya.

The objective or the paramArtha of this hymn is described by Shri

Amritanandanatha.

 

Basically, there are 3 principles that are of the form of Trika, and they are:

1) Prakasa 2) Vimarsa 3) Guru.

 

The paratattva rupa prakasa tattva becomes many as a part of creation (shruti

vakya " bahusyAm prajAyEya.... " . The upasaka should understand that beneath this

underlying manifold creation, there is ONE AND ONLY ONE TATTVA. The OBJECTIVE

OF THE SRIVIDYA TANTRA is to *experience* this anAkhya tattva.

 

Shri Amritanandanatha yogi blesses the upasaka as thus:

 

May the srividya upasaka contemplating on the above 3 tattvas of Prakasa,

Vimarsa & Guru as per the bhavana expressed in the *Chidvilasa Stavah*, attain:

ONE-NESS WITH PARA-SIVA. With the objective of *attaining the union with

Para-Siva*, the upasaka should recite this hymn *Chidvilasa Stavah* and perform

the bahiryaga & antaryaga prakriya.
