[897] PosanI [saktih]

Who is the nourishing power.

Cit Sakti is the power of prosperity and abundance. She is full with

nourishing power to enrich the thirty six modifications of Siva-Sakti

[a]order. She nourishes the mental and physical universe with

innumerable qualities, theourh Her predominant three powers of

volition, cognition and action, which pervade every atom in the

manifestation.

 

KundalinI, also called BhuvanesvarI, is cit sakti, the primal power of

nourishment to the universe. It is not fully asleep as people

generally think. We are living, working or thinking because of its

partially being awake. The beauty of our working etc is proportionate

to the amount of the awakening of KundalinI, the basic nourishing

power, which works at all levels, physical, mental and spiritual.

 

Foot note:

[a] The thirty six principles are : [1] Siva [2] Sakti [3] SadAsiva

[4] Isvara [5] Suddha VidyA. These constitute the creative ideation of

Siva at cosmic leve. [6] MayA [MayA and MahAmAyA] [7] KalA [8] VidyA

[9] RAga [10] KalA and [11] Niyati. These are called Sat kancukas.

[12] Purusa - Individual subject. [13] Prakrti - Onjective

manifestation [14] Buddhi [15] AhankAra [16] Manas - the modifications

of mental operation [17-21 JnAnendriyas [five senses of experience]

[22-26] Karmendriyas [five powers of action] [27-31] TanmAtras [five

elements of sense perception] [32-36] Panca MahAbhutas [five gross

elements].

 

[898] SosanI Saktih : The power of suction.

Growth has decay, involution follows evolution and creation is beset

with absorption. Cit Sakti is also the power of merging all the

manifestation into Herself. Then it is named Prakrti. She is the power

of universal destruction also. She is the power of suction of the

created universe.

 

It was by the worship of the Divine Mother that Agastya brought the

great surging ocean into his palm and drank it up very easily.

Subsequently Kalakeyas, the followers of VrtrAsura, who had been

harassing the gods, were brought out of their hideout and killed.

 

[899] DirgakesI : With long and far-reaching hair.

Long hair of a woman can be witnessed when those are in dishevelled

manner. The dishevelled hair of Bhagavati Kali bespeak of her

untrammelled freedom. She works fear and panic in the heart of the

timid and unwary as it evidenced in Nature. But to the knowing and

tenacious she serves as the foster mother. This is called SvAtantrya

[freedom] of mother nature as advocated by Kashmir Saivism [Trika

system]

 

[900] SulomasA : One with abundant hair.

The abundant hair of the Mother suggest her relentless activities.

The idea conveyed by this is that no phenomenal activity is beyond her

pale. Mother Kali is both malignant and beningnant. She is the

supreme energy responsible for the dissolution of the created unverse.

She is the cretric [the mother] also. She also reassures her

fearstricken children through her abhaya mudra, and exhibits her

desire to grant boons through the varada mudra. This multifarious

activity of the Mother is represented by her abundant hair. " From

SadAsiva down to the earth, the absolute citi [universal

consciousness] of its own free will is the cause of bringing about

manifestation " .
