Guest guest Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 >From Swami Satyananda Saraswati’s intro to the Chandi Path: As human beings we have become habituated to being beset with thought. In practicing the Chandi Path, we seek to free ourselves from this habit, to take the “Ego I” out of thought, to find the remedy of that all too chronic disease, Attachment, and to expand our awareness beyond the relationships of the physical body so as to intuit by direct perception the Bliss of the Universe. Visions of the Goddess from the Chandi Path The Highest Meaning of the Goddess I am the intrinsic nature of Consciousness. From me both Nature and Consciousness have taken birth, this world of true existence and untrue appearance. I am the form of bliss and blisslessness. I am the form of the Wisdom of Unity and lack of wisdom as well. I am the capacity of understanding what is Brahma, the Supreme Consciousness, and what is not Brahma. I am the great elements of existence as they unite in forms and in their ununited individual aspects as well. I am this entire perceivable universe. Whose intrinsic nature Brahma and other divinities cannot know, and therefore She is called Unknowable; whose end cannot be found, and therefore She is called Infinite; whose definition cannot be defined, and therefore She is called Undefinable; whose birth cannot be understood, and therefore She is called Unborn; whose presence is everywhere, and therefore She is called the ONE; who alone is the active principle in the form of the universe, and therefore She is called the Many. Therefore She is called Unknowable, Infinite, Undefinable, Unborn, One and Many. The Forms of the Goddess She has three eyes and displays ornaments on all Her limbs. Shining like a blue gem, she has ten faces. I worship that Great Remover of Darkness (Mahakali) whom the lotus-born Creative Capacity praised in order to slay Too Much and Too Little when the Supreme Consciousness was in sleep. She with the beautiful face, the Destroyer of the Great Ego, is seated upon a lotus of Peace. I worship the Great Goddess of True Wealth (Mahalakshmi). Her radiance is like the moon in autumn, her appearance is most beautiful, She who is manifested from the body of She Who is Rays of Light (Gauri), and is the support of the three worlds, that Great Goddess of All-Pervading Knowledge, who destroyed Self-Conceit and other thoughts I worship. (Mahasaraswati) The radiant body of the Mother of the Universe has the magnificence of a thousand rising suns. She is draped in a sari of red silk. Around Her neck is a garland of red skulls. Her breasts have been colored with red sandal paste. In Her four lotus like hands She holds a rosary and shows the mudras of Knowledge, Fearlessness and Granting of Boons. Her three eyes are shining and Her bud-like mouth is extremely beautiful. Upon her head sits a crown of jewels in which the moon is situated, and She is resting upon a lotus seat. With unlimited devotion I bow down to this Goddess. We meditate on She who is constantly served by all men desiring the Ultimate Perfection, who is surrounded on all sides by Gods, the Goddess Who Removes Difficulties, who is named Jaya - Victory. Her beautiful body is splendidly dark like a black cloud. With Her side looks She instills fear into a multitude of enemies. A digit of the moon has been fastened upon Her head where it shines. She has three eyes. She stands leaning upon the shoulders of a lion, and Her radiant illumination has completely filled up the three worlds. I think of the Ultimate Goddess, Padmavati, who resides in the Eyes of the Lord of All Wisdom, Bhairav. Her tender body is effulgent with the brilliance of the multitude of jewels on the hoods of the King of Snakes upon whom She is reclining. Her luster is like that of the sun, and Her three eyes are brilliant. The radiant half moon is the shining crown upon Her head. I meditate upon the Goddess Matangi, the Embodiment of the Mother. Sitting upon a throne of jewels, She is listening to the sweet sounds of parrots. The color of her body is dark. She has one foot resting upon a lotus, and She wears a half moon upon Her head. Wearing a garland of flower buds, She plays the strings of a vina. She covers Her body with a blouse and a red colored sari. In Her hand is a cup made of a conch shell. From Her face comes a slight sweet scent which causes intoxication, and a brilliant spot of vermillion shines on Her forehead. I meditate upon Bhavani, the Embodiment of Existence, the Grantor of Perfection, who is surrounded by rays of light and other subtle energies. Her body is of red hue. Her three eyes are exuberant with compassion. I take refuge in the Supremely Divided One, the Lord who is both male and female continuously without end. Her color is like flowers or excellent gold with red and yellow mixture. She shows the mudra giving blessings. The radiant half moon is Her ornament and She has three eyes. With the fullness of my heart, I think of the female Lord of All, Kamesvari, the Ruler of Desire, who unites the intrinsic nature of Siva and Sakti, of consciousness and energy, who wears the radiant half moon on Her head. Her luster is as beautiful as excellent gold. The sun, moon and fire are Her three eyes. I meditate on the Goddess Bhuvanesvari, the Ruler of the Earth. The brilliancy of Her body is like sunrise in the morning. The moon is a crown upon Her head. Her swelling breasts overflow, and Her three eyes are in union. Upon Her face shines Her radiant smile, and Her hands show the mudra granting boons and fearlessness. I meditate upon the three-eyed Goddess, Durga, the Reliever of Difficulties; the luster of Her beautiful body is like lightening. She sits upon the shoulders of a lion and appears very fierce. Many maidens are standing at readiness to serve Her. She displays the mudra connecting the thumb and the pointer finger with the three other fingers extended upwards, indicating the granting of wisdom. Her intrinsic nature is as fire, and upon Her head She wears the moon as a crown. I meditate upon that Goddess who wears beauty comparable to the regions of the sun at sunrise, who shows the mudras granting boons and fearlessness. She is Siva’, the Energy of Infinite Goodness. The Supreme Goddess, Chandi Maa, is made up of the combined light and energy of all the Gods and Goddesses. When all Gods and Goddesses combine their light and energy with one intention, the Goddess will manifest, without a doubt.
