BhavAnI nAma Sahasra Stutih : 837, 838, 839 & 840

[Guest guest]

[837] TrikAlajNA : WHo is the ruler of the three periods of time.

When Supreme Sakti comes into existence the infinitude of Time

appears divided into past, present and future. She is the knower of

time. The Goddess as KalI is the power of time. Time is also all

destroying for wiping out the world. KAlI represents not only the

destructive aspect of God's power but also what exists when time is

transcendent. Again, She prods Siva into the next cycle of creation.

She pierces the three divisions of time. Herself She is beyong time.

 

The Upanisads also echo the same tune : " He is the ruler of the past

and the future. He exists today and He will exist tomorrow " .

 

[838] TrilingA : Who pervades the three characterictis of the

creation. PradAna or Prakrti of SAnkhya Philosophy is the uniform

combination of the three great qualities which in their shuffled

form are the cause of manifestation. Linga is an unreal mark, a

guise. The Supreme Mother assumes these means of proof simply to

evidence the whole creation. The three qualities represent the three

working principles of the universe, governed by the Supreme Power

called MAhesvarI.

 

[839] TrimUrtih : Sakti who manifests in the MahAtrayI.

The Tantras advocate the three great goddess called the MahattrayI.

They are MahAsarasvati, MahAlaksmi and MahAkAlI in order of

evolution for trimurtih follows srstikrama, commencing with

procreation. These are the three great powers of the sovereign deity

MAhesvari. For easy grasp of the highest truth they have endowments

of visible shapes and are represented by Sarasvati, Laksmi and

PArvati with their qualities Sattva, Rajas and Tamas respectively.

They have the colours white, red and dark. The Upanisad says : " There

is a single female [Prakrti] of red, white and black colours,w ho is

unoriginated and who produces numerous offsprings resembling herself "

 

The three great deities are described in thress caritas or episodes

of Devi MAhAtmyam. MAhesvari is the untainted supreme wisdom, yet

governing through the three agencies.

 

 

[840] Who resides in the three abodes.

Tripura BhagavatI resides in the three panes of unversal experience.

These are Bhuh, the earth, Bhuvah, the sky or void and Svah, the

heaven. At individual level these refer to JAgrat, the waking state,

svapna, the dream and susupti, the deep sleed. Supreme consciousness

is the same and present in all the three states, yet works in the

three fields of experience [Lokas]

 

Again, apart from Vaikhari, the ParA, pasyanti and madhyamA forms

from vak [sound] are described as hidden in the three caverns of

heart. Therefore the goddess Vaikhari resides in these abodes.

 

According to Kundalini Yoga, the Supreme deity particularly resides

at BrahmA, Visnu and Rudra granthis [knots] to cut the knots and

lead the SAdhaka to sahasrAra cakra.

 

The Divine Mother resides in everything in trichotomy. She resides

in mind, intellect and consciousness : ida, Pingala and SusumnA, the

three angles, three lines and three encircling diagrams of Sri

Cakra; in the three divisions of Sri VidyA, the sun, the moon and

the fire [PramAta, Prameya and PramAna] etc. etc.
