Guest guest Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Namaste Everbody, My humble prostration to holy feet of Swamiji and Shree Maa…………………….. Since Swamiji have more than once enlighten us the meaning of the first section in Chandi Path- Kushandika, allow me to share and learn from others the inner meaning of Atha Sapta Sloki Durga ( Seven Verses That Express The Essence of She Who Relieves All Difficulties ) .Please join me with your comments and experience on this verse as well…………………………….. Om Sang Saraswatyai Namaha Lord Siva requested for means of success in perfecting all desires in this Age of Darkness and the answer came in 7 verses. This summarized the essence of Chandi Path recitation, that is why Swamiji says in his Chandi Class “Seven verses from Chandi which really communicates the most bhava. What She is. Who She is and why we are doing this. Where we are going with this “ Verse 1 She ,this Supreme Goddess , the Great Measurement of Consciousness ,attracts the perceiving capacity of all sensible beings with such a force as to thrust them into the ignorance of egotistic attachment The statement clearly states who she is (Supreme Goddess) what She is ( Great Measurement of Consciousness)why we are doing this (She attracts the perceiving capacity of all sensible beings )where we are going with this (trying to perfect all our desires to understand and go beyond the ignorance of egotistic attachment ) Again and again we see Maa assisting us in understanding this cardinal truth throughout Chandi Path.We see how King and Samadhi talks to the sage Medha Muni on their attachment in chapter one .The sage explaining the cause of this is none other than Mahamaya-the Divine Mother Herself . And the rest of the chapters explain the means resorted by the devas to overcome this attachment and other forcesof duality that went against their union with Her. Finally we see how both this individuals doing sadhana to perfect their desire as well This made me humbly understand why Swamiji calls Chandi Path as practical training manual . It does not only share with us who truly Maa is but a methodology to perfect our desire to go beyond our attachment that is in union with Her as well ……………………. Jai Maa!!
