Namaste.

 

After having read in a certain website about the distorted version of the

definition of Kamakoti as " BILLIOUS OF LOVE " , i thought of writing a small

article on Kamakala and tat-swarupa.

 

The scholar might have translated kamakoti in literal sense where koti means

billions and kama as love. And hence, Kamakoti.

 

Since, this gentleman is the member of this forum, i request him not to publish

these as there is every danger that some laymen might take that for granted.

 

Here is my version. Some of the portions i have already mailed long ago here as

a part of Maheshwara Sutra. But as a part of manana, i am presenting again.

 

********************

 

The Nataraja in Chidambaram or Tillaivanam performs the Tandava dance before

Patanjali, Vyaghrapada, Sanaka, Sanandana and other sages. At the close of the

dance, Nataraja produces 14 sounds with his Damaruka. From these 14 sounds,

emanated 14 Sutras and 14 branches of vedic learning. The fourteen sounds

produced by Nataraja's drum are the means by which the Reality of Siva is to be

known and experienced within us. The sages obtained the inner vision to see this

Great Cosmic dance of Siva. At the end, everyone were in the ocean of Bliss

Absolute. Among those present at Nataraja's dance was Panini. For him these 14

sounds meant the fourteen cardinal sutras of Grammer and on them he based his

" Ashtadhyayi " . The Nataraja was the Sabda-Brahma Incarnate and at the

conclusion of his Tandava, these series of fourteen letters emanated:

 

1) a i un

2) r l k

3) e on

4) ai au c

5) ha ya va ra t

6) la n

7) jna ma gna Nna na m

8) jha bha n

9) gha dad ha s

10) ja ba ga da da s

11) kha pha cha that ha ca ta ta v

12) ka pa y

13) sa sa sar

14) ha l

 

Based on the above 14 sutras, Sage Nandikeswara has written a commentary called

" kAsika " . And based on the kAsika, Sage Upamanyu wrote a commentary called

" Tatva Vimarsini " .

 

If time permits, I will present the entire kAsikA and Tattva Vimarsini as a

series of posts, but now I would give out the commentary for the 1st sutra ie.,

a, I, u, n.

 

1st Sutra: a i u n

 

Nirguna Parabrahma who is Siva is denoted by first letter `a'. The Sakti in the

form of Chit Kala is denoted by `i' in this sutra. This is the medium or upadhi.

Siva (a) with Sakti (i) as upadhi gets manifested as Saguna Brahma (u). This

saguna brahma (u) gets transformed into Jagat (n).

 

Here `a' is non-objective bliss – Siva tattva; `i' is the Kamakala – Sakti

tattva; `u' is Ishwara tattva

 

*********************

As per Nandikeshwara kAsikA

********************

akArO brahmarUpassyAnnirguNassarva vastuShu

chitkaLAm im samAsritya jagatrUpa u NIshwarah //

 

ie., a kara is Nirguna Parabrahma; Chitkala in the form of Kamakala is " I " ;

Both Siva in the form of " a " unite with Sakti in the form of " I " and give out

the by-product which is this Universe in the form of " uN " .

 

akAra sarvavarNAgryah prakAsah paramasivah

Adi raMtyEna saMyOgAd " AHAM " iti eva jAyatE //

 

From the 1st sutra of Maheshwara Sutras, " a " denotes the Prakasa Swarupa

Parasiva. When this unites with " h " of the 14th Sutra, becomes " AHAM " which is

called PratyagAtma.

 

Like this, Nandikeshwara wrote 7 kAsikAs on the 1st sutra. And for every sutra,

Sage Upamanyu wrote Tattva Vimarsini Vyakhya.

 

So, the 4th Kasika of the 1st Sutra says:

 

jagatsraShTu mabhUdvAM cha yadA hyAsItatadAbhavat

kAmabIjam iti prAhu rmunayO vEdapAragAh //

 

Nandikeshwara says that " e " kAra is the svatantra swarupa which is called

`mAyA " . This mAyA sakti " e " uniting with Siva in the form of " a " , creates the

entire cosmos in the form of " AHAM " which is the " sabda shrishti " in the form of

16 vowels & 34 consonants. This AHAM encompasses in itself entire 14 Maheshwara

Sutras.

 

This AHAM is the Creation which is formed with the union of Siva (a) and Maya

(e).

 

Commenting on this kAsikA, Sage Upamanyu says in his Tattva Vimarsini as:

 

Tatra sarvatra e-kArasyaiva sarva-tantratA mAha – akAra miti //

 

This " e " kara is the Svatantra Sakti which is mAyA. Further Sage Upamanyu Says:

 

Tattva Vimarsini of Upamanyu

*******************

 

When Svaprakasa rupa Paramatma thinks of creating this universe, there is a

desire in Him of becoming many. This " desire of becoming many " in the form of

Creation takes birth in the Parasiva (a). This Desire is the Kama Bija. This

Kama Bija is the Chitkala that takes the form of " e " .

 

Such a Paramasiva having the Desire is called Kameshwara and His mAyA sakti is

Kameshwari. This Mithuna or the Union is called Kamakoti which is the form of

MAHA-KAMAKALA.

Dear Sriram,

 

Namaste.

 

This is a side note on your expostion of KamaKoti.

 

As you would know, " koti " being translated merely into a numerical value is not

restricted to recent times. 33 koti devathaas of Rigveda was interpreted by

europeans as 33 crores of devathaas. (Koti = = 'crore' as one of the meanings).

This point was then added to their (proletrizing europeans of the past) arsenal

for ridiculing hindu dharma. It is thought so because, the same scholars were

aware of upanishadic description of 33 gods or 33 categories of gods (eight

Vasus, eleven Rudras, twelve Ä€dityas, Indra and PrajÄpati).

 

It will help to clarify more clearly if you could point to the sense in which

" koti " is used here as it seems like Max Muller and Co. have a long lasting

effect on how we ( or just myself) perceive our own Devathaas.

 

Thanks,

 

-gopal

kamakoti has another meaning as taught to me by one of our srividyopaasakas.

it goes like this.

 

kama means the wants of the human mind which is like a ocean, and the wants

are countless as water in the seas, and it is not one ocean, but seven

oceans, sapta samudras. the wants, as they are met, keep on coming, like the

waves in the ocean, which means these wants are endless, unlimited and even

more than the whole bhoo mandala, leaving the water.

 

koti also means the other side of a given area, which means the space beyond

the boundary of a given object for visualization. generally for a human eye

on the earthly plane, the otherside of the sea is not visible.

 

now, take both kaama and koti. this simply means the otherside of the sea of

wants. further explanation is that the human being from the time of entering

the womb of the mother, till the being leaves the earthy world, goes in

whirls in the sea of wants. when once he goes outside this sea and reaches

the shore, this means that he has conquered all his wants / desires and

reached the other side of the sea, which is the kaivalya and which is the

abode of the most revered goddess, sri raja rajeswari maata.

 

when i was asked by my father to name our newly built house, it occured to

me that we should name it as SRIKAMAKOTI - meaning the adobe of the saatwika

kakaara bhattaarika, mahaaa kaameswaree maata. every one liked it, and

believe me, there are no wants in our house since then, till now. every one

who lives here, live in perpetual happiness and in the thinking of maata sri

raja rajeswari.

 

sri maatre namaha.

one simple thing, if the followers of this site follow the vyakhyaanas of

the learned lore in srividya and srividya only and not the meanings rendered

the whole of european quacks. they do not know the actual meaning, and

whatever comes to their mind, they write without understanding the actual

inner meaning and for that matter the hidden meaning of our scriptures.

hence, they are quacks, whatever be their salutations like Dr. or prof. or

anything for that matter. hence, i request the moderator of this group to

elucidate the members in this regard.

 

thanks and regards.

Koti is infinite without rupa or form. he figure 33 perhaps represent the

various kalas (energies) through which one can reach the formless through the

worship of the form. This is what I feel.

kamakala in the form of " e "

 

 

 

 

 

Namaste.

 

After having read in a certain website about the distorted version of the

definition of Kamakoti as " BILLIOUS OF LOVE " , i thought of writing a small

article on Kamakala and tat-swarupa.

 

The scholar might have translated kamakoti in literal sense where koti means

billions and kama as love. And hence, Kamakoti.

 

Since, this gentleman is the member of this forum, i request him not to publish

these as there is every danger that some laymen might take that for granted.

 

Here is my version. Some of the portions i have already mailed long ago here as

a part of Maheshwara Sutra. But as a part of manana, i am presenting again.

 

********************

 

The Nataraja in Chidambaram or Tillaivanam performs the Tandava dance before

Patanjali, Vyaghrapada, Sanaka, Sanandana and other sages. At the close of the

dance, Nataraja produces 14 sounds with his Damaruka. From these 14 sounds,

emanated 14 Sutras and 14 branches of vedic learning. The fourteen sounds

produced by Nataraja's drum are the means by which the Reality of Siva is to be

known and experienced within us. The sages obtained the inner vision to see this

Great Cosmic dance of Siva. At the end, everyone were in the ocean of Bliss

Absolute. Among those present at Nataraja's dance was Panini. For him these 14

sounds meant the fourteen cardinal sutras of Grammer and on them he based his

" Ashtadhyayi " . The Nataraja was the Sabda-Brahma Incarnate and at the

conclusion of his Tandava, these series of fourteen letters emanated:

 

1) a i un

2) r l k

3) e on

4) ai au c

5) ha ya va ra t

6) la n

7) jna ma gna Nna na m

8) jha bha n

9) gha dad ha s

10) ja ba ga da da s

11) kha pha cha that ha ca ta ta v

12) ka pa y

13) sa sa sar

14) ha l

 

Based on the above 14 sutras, Sage Nandikeswara has written a commentary called

" kAsika " . And based on the kAsika, Sage Upamanyu wrote a commentary called

" Tatva Vimarsini " .

 

If time permits, I will present the entire kAsikA and Tattva Vimarsini as a

series of posts, but now I would give out the commentary for the 1st sutra ie.,

a, I, u, n.

 

1st Sutra: a i u n

 

Nirguna Parabrahma who is Siva is denoted by first letter `a'. The Sakti in the

form of Chit Kala is denoted by `i' in this sutra. This is the medium or upadhi.

Siva (a) with Sakti (i) as upadhi gets manifested as Saguna Brahma (u). This

saguna brahma (u) gets transformed into Jagat (n).

 

Here `a' is non-objective bliss – Siva tattva; `i' is the Kamakala – Sakti

tattva; `u' is Ishwara tattva

 

*********************

As per Nandikeshwara kAsikA

********************

akArO brahmarUpassyAnnirguNassarva vastuShu

chitkaLAm im samAsritya jagatrUpa u NIshwarah //

 

ie., a kara is Nirguna Parabrahma; Chitkala in the form of Kamakala is " I " ; Both

Siva in the form of " a " unite with Sakti in the form of " I " and give out the

by-product which is this Universe in the form of " uN " .

 

akAra sarvavarNAgryah prakAsah paramasivah

Adi raMtyEna saMyOgAd " AHAM " iti eva jAyatE //

 

From the 1st sutra of Maheshwara Sutras, " a " denotes the Prakasa Swarupa

Parasiva. When this unites with " h " of the 14th Sutra, becomes " AHAM " which is

called PratyagAtma.

 

Like this, Nandikeshwara wrote 7 kAsikAs on the 1st sutra. And for every sutra,

Sage Upamanyu wrote Tattva Vimarsini Vyakhya.

 

So, the 4th Kasika of the 1st Sutra says:

 

jagatsraShTu mabhUdvAM cha yadA hyAsItatadAbhavat

kAmabIjam iti prAhu rmunayO vEdapAragAh //

 

Nandikeshwara says that " e " kAra is the svatantra swarupa which is called

`mAyA " . This mAyA sakti " e " uniting with Siva in the form of " a " , creates the

entire cosmos in the form of " AHAM " which is the " sabda shrishti " in the form of

16 vowels & 34 consonants. This AHAM encompasses in itself entire 14 Maheshwara

Sutras.

 

This AHAM is the Creation which is formed with the union of Siva (a) and Maya

(e).

 

Commenting on this kAsikA, Sage Upamanyu says in his Tattva Vimarsini as:

 

Tatra sarvatra e-kArasyaiva sarva-tantratA mAha – akAra miti //

 

This " e " kara is the Svatantra Sakti which is mAyA. Further Sage Upamanyu Says:

 

Tattva Vimarsini of Upamanyu

 

**************************

*******************

 

When Svaprakasa rupa Paramatma thinks of creating this universe, there is a

desire in Him of becoming many. This " desire of becoming many " in the form of

Creation takes birth in the Parasiva (a). This Desire is the Kama Bija. This

Kama Bija is the Chitkala that takes the form of " e " .

 

Such a Paramasiva having the Desire is called Kameshwara and His mAyA sakti is

Kameshwari. This Mithuna or the Union is called Kamakoti which is the form of

MAHA-KAMAKALA.

Dear Gopinathji,

 

I have not read Max Muller's interpretation neither i am capable of

understanding his exposition.

 

There are more learned men who can explain this here.

 

Currently the only " mahAvAkya " which i say is " AAL IZZZ WELL " with our Sanatana

Dharma. Just watch " 3 Idiots " .

Namaste.

 

kAma is Parasiva; " koTi " implies " avadhi " or the " highest boundary " . So, the

principle which has Parasiva as the highest boundary is kAmakoTi which is

siva-saktyAtmaka tattva.

 

Shri Bhaskararaya says kAma is Parasiva tattva and koTi is " ekadesha " ie., a

portion. Mathematically speaking, Domain is Divine Mother where Parasiva is a

subset.

 

Acharya Sankara says that " shaNNavati pITheShu madhye kAmakoTi

shrIchakramityarthah " .

 

Here, kAmakoTi is Srichakra. Bindu-sthAna is the central point which is

siva-saktyAtmaka swarupa. And hence kAmakotikA. Sankara uses " shaNNavati

pIThas " here which is none other than our pindanda ie., deha.

 

The 54th mantra of Trishikhi Brahmanopanishad says

 

// dehamAnaM svAnguLIbhiH shaNNavatyanguLayataM

sharIrAt adhiko dwAdashAngula mAnataH //……54

 

ie., the prANa-vyApti in the deha is 96 (shaNNavati) anguShTa pramANa (size

equivalent to one's own thumb) (which is the black line across the thumb). The

subsequent mantras " deha madhyE shikhi sthAnaM …..trikoNaM … " are

self-explanatory. Now, this deha itself is Srichakra as per the pramaNa of

Bhavanopanishad which says " nava randhra rupa dehaH nava chakra rupaM

srIchakraM " , and hence, the " Chitkala " that shines in

" deha-madhya-sthita-dahara-akAsa " is the kAmakoTikA.

 

Matsya Purana addresses this kaLA as " sarvasarIriNAm chitte brahmakaLA nAma

sakti " which implies that the vAstava sAkta pITha is the Brahma KaLA that sports

in Dahara Akasa or Chidakasa.

 

*******

 

In rg veda, there are 33 categories of gods divided in 3 planes ie., bhuh,

bhuvah & suvah equally into 11 respectively. The 4th plane is the " parame

vyoman " .

NamaskaramAs a subtext to the interpretation of the word 'KOTI', it is used in

the sense of a limit or avadhi. the term is in such a sense is found in the

popular nomenclature of " Dhanoshkoti " , which actually means the tip of the bow

( obvious that it cannot refer to varietie or numerical )

Kamakala is nothing but " Interaction for integration without intercourse " i.e.

no body and mind contact

but soul to soul contact between the guru and sishya to make the whole concept

of energy between them as :abedha " , which means no difference..
