Chapter 7

[Guest guest]

1. It took me a week to realize that the Brahmadi sap vimocanam is

intrinsically linked to the chapters in the Chandi. Nanda pointed out

the bija mantras. But also, in the first mantra she is named madhu

kaitabha mardinyai, and she kills those two in the first chapter. In

the second mantra she is named mahisasura sainya nasinyai and in

chapter 2 she destroys the army of mahisasura … and so on. In chapter 7

she kills Passion and Anger and in mantra 7 is referred to as canda

munda badha karinyai.

 

2.To kill Passion and Anger, the goddess creates Kali out of herself.

We have not see her so fierce and so relentless before. Is it because,

of all the thoughts, Passion and Anger are so difficult to control and

eradicate?

3.It is interesting that this is the first time that the form we

meditate on wears no weapons – She is the embodiment of peace and

beauty listening to her parrots and playing a veena.
