My congratulations on the upcoming event that celebrates the birth of the Hindu Goddess Dh\u016bm\u0101vat\u012b<\/em>. We should observe Dh\u016bm\u0101vat\u012b<\/em> first and foremost as a Goddess with the profound symbolism. Officially she doesn\u2019t have her own Bhairava<\/em>, because she and he are one and the same. She is associated with the upper cakras<\/em>, the upper \u0101mn\u0101ya<\/em> (transmission of knowledge), which leads to mok\u1e63a<\/em> and is the essence of all \u0101mn\u0101yas<\/em>. Her energy is associated with the renunciation from the world, with nirvikalpa<\/em>–sam\u0101dhi<\/em>. Dh\u016bm\u0101vat\u012b<\/em> symbolises the moment when the power of ku\u1e47\u1e0dalin\u012b<\/em> rises upwards, reaches \u0101j\u00f1\u0101-cakra<\/em> and then dissolves into Parama\u015biva<\/em>. I will give you an interesting excerpt from the Siddha-siddh\u0101nta-paddhati<\/em>, which describes the practices involved in realisation of various guidelines in yoga<\/em>. In describing of the inner lak\u1e63ya<\/em>, I suggest that you pay attention to this passage from the second part:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, between the eyes, contemplate a glowing blue image. These are the inner guidelines of contemplation.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue is often associated with various types of Goddesses, it can represent the energy of T\u0101r\u0101<\/em> (N\u012blasaraswati<\/em>), \u015ay\u0101mal\u0101<\/em> (M\u0101ta\u1e45g\u012b<\/em>), K\u0101l\u012b<\/em>, which in many ways could also correspond to Dh\u016bm\u0101vat\u012b<\/em>, as blue slightly resembles the color of smoke. In fact, b\u012bjas<\/em>, Dh\u016bm\u0101vat\u012b<\/em> mantras<\/em>, her vibrations in the head, which lead to the dissolution are described here. I will share some personal experience. Although many believe that she represents a withering power, I think that such a view is deceptive and the worldly person does not see the most important thing about her. This Goddess, although depicted as a symbol which is close to the end of life, is also a symbol of the full unfolding of life’s whole potential. It’s a total bloom that, for many, seems daunting and ominous. Its withering contains an infinite blossoming of energy, it is ku\u1e47\u1e0dalin\u012b<\/em> at the very peak of unfolding into infinity. Dh\u016bm\u0101vat\u012b<\/em> eliminates two kinds of fear, which are essentially one \u2013 the fear of life-death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
