[901] LalitA : Who is the supreme perfection of Love.

 

The bliss that pervades all the three states of life is called LalitA.

It is the extraordinary beauty of Divine Mother's manifestation and

reabsorption of the universe into Herself. This is the five-fold sport

of Her free will. Still she does not descend from Her transcendent

Divine Nature of Bliss.

 

DurgA and KAli represent the aspects of power of the Goddess while

LalitA represents the aspect of beauty. Her worship is refined and Her

form is depicted as extremely beautiful. She is slightly red in colour

and holds a bow of sugar cane, arrows, the goad and the noose in her

four hands. The bow represents the mind through which we experience

all joy. The arrows are the PancatanmAtras, the five subtle elements

whose products are the sense organs, which are discharged through the

mind towards the sense objects. The underlying idea is that LalitA is

the power that energies and controls the mind and the sense organs.

The noose [pAsa] is attachment [rAga] and the goad [ankusa] is anger

or aversion [krodha]. Those who forget the Divine Mother are bound

with pAsa and hurt with krodha. But those who take refuge in Her are

set free from their torment.

 

LalitA is the sum of all saktis. She is the functional energy of the

eternal throb. This is Her five-fld sport. She is given the name

PancapretAsanA, seated on the five lifeless deities.

 

Sri Cakra is used for worship of LalitA either in the form of a yantra

or in the form of a meru. Sri Cakra is essentially a yantra. This is

the key to outer and inner worship of LalitA in Sri Cakra also known

as Sripura or Srinagara. A concrete description of Sri Pura is given

by SankarAcArya as : " In the midst of a nectar ocean there is a great

island all made of gems. In that islands is the Sripura surrounded

with the clusters of Kalpavrksa, Kadamba trees, etc where in the

mansion made of the CintAmani jewel, lies the Goddess united with her

Lord, seated on a cot [the legs of which are BrahmA, Visnu, Rudra and

Isvara]. SadAsiva forms the plank on which the Supreme Deity rests "

 

LalitA, the spouse of KAmesvara Siva, representing unconditioned pure

consciousness, is known as KAmesvarI. " Existence-Bliss alone is the

Supreme Goddess LalitA " .
