These supreme elements are born of ahangkara and that in turn is born of mahat. (Sri Ramakrishna mastered them.) About Gupta Yoginis, this is serious Classical Tantric stuff. They are from a Yogini Cult in Orissa, India. Most texts recognize 64 Yoginis but some others state there were 69 of them in 8 categories. Gupta Yoginis is only one of the group of 8. Examples of the others are Guptatara Yogini, Sampradaya Yogini, Kulatirna Yogini, etc. To find out more, type "64 Yoginis" or "69 Yoginis" into a search engine.Regarding 16 Kalas of the Moon : According to the Indian sashtras like Lalitopakhyanam, Tantrarajatantra, Dakshinamurti Samhita, Vasistha Samhita, Kamakala Vilasam and Bhairava Yamalam; the following is the spiritual and cosmic significance of the phases of the moon. The Moon has 16 kalas, or phases. Out of these 15 are visible to us and the 16th is beyond our visibility. The 16 kalas are: 1.Amrita, 2.Manada, 3.Poosha, 4.Tusthi, 5.Pusthi, 6.Rati, 7.Dhruti, 8.Sasichini, 9.Chandrika, 10.Kanta, 11.Jyostna, 12.Shree, 13.Preeti, 14.Angada, 15.Poorna and 16.Poornamruta. These 16 kalas are ruled by the 16 Nitya Devis. They are called Shodasa Nityas. They are: 1.Maha Tripura Sundari, 2.Kameswari, 3.Bhagamalini, 4.Nityaklinna, 5.Bherunda, 6.Vanhivasini, 7.Maha Vajreswari, 8.Shivadooti (Roudri), 9.Twarita, 10.Kulasundari, 11.Nitya, 12.Neelapataka, 13.Vijaya, 14.Sarvamangala, 15.Jwalamalini and 16.Chidroopa (Chitra). Out of these, the first one, Maha Tripura Sundari is the Devi Para Shakti herself, and hence the kala ruled by her is not visible to the normal mortals. Hence we see only the other 15 kalas or phases ruled by the other nityas. In the Sri Chakra these 15 nityas are present in the innermost circle, and the Devi is in the central bundu. These 15 Nityas rule the famous 15 letters Devi mantra known as Panchadasakshari Mantra: Ka E Aie La Hreem Ha Sa Ka Ha La Hreem Sa Ka La Hreem These 15 Nityas in the form of the 15 Tithis (Phases) have two aspects each - Prakashamsa, which rules the day portion of the Tithi, and Vimarshamsa, which rules the night part of the Tithi. At night they collect the divine nectar and during the day they release it.About 16 siddhis & attainments, we begin with 8 major siddhis as in Sri Sivananada's Kundalini Yoga..Eight Major SiddhisAn accomplished, Purnayogi in the path of Kundalini Yoga is in possession of eight major Siddhis, viz., Anima, Mahima, Laghima, Garima, Prapti, Prakamya, Vasitvam and Ishitvam. (By Sri Sivananda)Minor SiddhisThe Yogi acquires the following minor Siddhis also:1. Freedom from hunger and thirst.2. Freedom from the effects of heat and cold.3. Freedom from Raga-Dvesha.4. Doora Darshan, clairvoyance or Dooradrishti.5. Doora Sravan, clairaudience or Doora Sruti and Doora Pravachana.6. Mano-Jaya, control of mind.7. Kama Rupa: The Yogi can take any form he likes.8. Parakaya Pravesha: He can enter into another body, can animate a dead body and enter into it by transferring his soul.( Note : From the book titled "Kundalini Yoga" by Sri Swami Sivananda, there should be 26 Minor Siddhis published.)About Punya of 7 birthsPunya means : Holy; virtuous; auspicious." 1) Good or righteous. Thus the wearer of 16 mukhi will have 7 rebirths where he/she will be a righteous, pious person with good qualities thereby arresting the influx of karma for 7 lifetimes without retribution. With performing Punya Activities, the jiva lives in happiness or bliss.Aum Namah Shivaya , "Michael" <spiritmed wrote:>> Hi Narahimsaye> > Can you interpeet this for me please?
