Maa Dhumavati

Maa Dhumavati is 7th Mahavidya out of ten Mahavidyas. 

Baglamukhi is a part of linguistics, that's why mother Baglamukhi should take permission to meditate and pray that her mother should be done. 

In the absence of knowledge or reading the book from the internet, it has also been seen falling into adversity. Only after doing Baglamukhi Sadhana, you get the ability to do special rituals. So, under special circumstances, the process should be started from the Guru only. Guru knows what is the ability of the disciple. 

Origin of Dhumavati: Devi Bhagavat says that when Sati performed self-immolation at the Yagya of Daksha Prajapati, While getting burnt, Sati came out of her body in the form of smoke and came to be known as Dhumavati. The dhyana mantra of Dhumavati says: 
स्तुति :- विवर्णा चंचला कृष्णा दीर्घा च मलिनाम्बरा, विमुक्त कुंतला रूक्षा विधवा विरलद्विजा, काकध्वजरथारूढा विलम्बित पयोधरा, सूर्पहस्तातिरुक्षाक्षी धृतहस्ता वरान्विता, प्रवृद्वघोणा तु भृशं कुटिला कुटिलेक्षणा, क्षुत्पिपासार्दिता नित्यं भयदा काल्हास्पदा | 

Dhumavati is ugly, unsteady, and angry. She is tall and wears dirty clothes. Her ears are ugly and rough, she has long teeth, and her breasts hang down. She has a long nose. She has the form of a widow. She rides during a chariot decorated with the symbol of the crow. Her eyes are fearsome, and her hands tremble. In one hand she holds a winnowing basket, and with the opposite hand, she makes the gesture of conferring boons. Her nature is rude. She is usually hungry and thirsty and appears unsatisfied. She likes to make strife, and she or he is usually frightful in appearance. 

Dhumavati - The Grandmother Spirit: Dhumavati is that the eldest among the Goddesses, the Grandmother Spirit. She stands behind the other Goddesses as their ancestral guide. As the Grandmother Spirit, she is the great teacher who bestows the ultimate lessons of birth and death. She is that the knowledge that comes through hard experience, during which our immature and youthful desires and fantasies are put to rest. Dhuma means "smoke." Dhumavati is "one who consists of smoke." Her nature isn't illumination but obscuration. However, to obscure one thing is to reveal another. By obscuring or covering all that is known, Dhumavati reveals the depth of the unknown and the unmanifest. Dhumavati obscures what's evident so as to reveal the hidden and therefore the profound. 

Dhumavati is portrayed as a widow. She is that the feminine principle barren of the masculine principle. She is Shakti without Shiva as pure potential energy without any will to motivate it. Thus she contains within herself all potentials and shows the latent energies that dwell within us. To develop these latent energies we must first recognize them. This requires honouring Dhumavati. 

Dhumavati represents the darkness on the face of the deep, the original chaos and obscurity which underlies creation. She is that the darkness of primordial ignorance, Mulavidya, from which this world of illusion has arisen, and which it's seeking to transcend. Dhumavati represents the facility of ignorance or that aspect of the creative force which causes the obscuration of the underlying light of consciousness. While Maya is that the magic or illusion power of the Lord that creates the one reality appears as many, ignorance may be a sort of darkness that forestalls us from seeing the underlying reality.

Dhumavati is that the elder sort of Kali, Kali as an old woman. She represents time or the life-force dissociated from the method of manifestation. She is timeless which never really enters into the process of time. 

Dhumavati holds a bowl of fire in one hand and a winnowing basket in the other. The fire symbolizes inevitable cosmic destruction: all things shall pass on. The winnowing basket, used to separate the grain from the chaff, represents Viveka, mental discrimination between the permanent and the fleeting. Even though her stalled cart represents an external life going nowhere, Dhumavati empowers us inwardly to succeed in for the very best, and there's nothing to prevent us once we are resolved. In the end, she points the thanks to liberation. 

Goddess Dhumavati’s Sadhana is completed to urge obviate extreme poverty. She is also worshipped to make the body free from all sorts of diseases. Dhumavati’s worship is taken into account as ideal for bachelors, widows, Sannyasins, and Tantrics, it's advised that folks who are married shouldn't worship Dhumavati.

WHO IS BAGALAMUKHI ( PITAMBARA)?

Bagalamukhi is the Eighth Mahavidya 

Bhagwati Bagalamukhi (बगलामुखी), Bagala or Maa Pitambara  (माँ पीतांबरा)  is the eighth Mahavidya in the famous series of the 10 Mahavidyas. 

The word "BAGALA" is a distorted form of Valga, meaning that bridles or reins, like horses, are placed in and around the mouths of animals to control them. Mukha means face. BAGALAMUKHI is thus understood as the one who canShe has a golden yellow colour and is therefore also known as Pitambari or Pitambara Maa. Pita is yellow).

Expounding the good power of the Goddess Baglamukhi the text Mantra Maharnnav (मन्त्र महार्णव) states -"The Mantra of the Goddess has the facility of the divine weapon Brahmastra instilled in it and the Goddess simply strikes terror in and paralyses the enemies of her Sadhaks. Repetition of her Mantra is enough to prevent even a tempest."

Bagala (the Goddess who seizes the Tongue): She is identified with the second night of courage and is that the power or Shakti of cruelty. She is described as the Devi with three eyes, wearing yellow clothes and gems, the moon as her diadem, wearing Champaka blossoms, with one hand holding the tongue of an enemy and with the left spiking him, thus do you have to meditate on the paralyser of the three worlds. 

She rules magic for the suppression of an enemy's gossip. These enemies even have an inner meaning, and therefore the peg she puts through the tongue could also be construed as a peg or paralysis of our own prattling talk. She rules deceit which is at the guts of the foremost speech. She can during this sense be considered as a terrible or Bhairavi sort of Matrika Devi, the mother of all speech. 

According to "Todala Tantra", her male consort is Maharudra. Seated on the proper of Bagala is that the Maharudra, with one face, who dissolves the universe. The pulling of the demon's tongue by Bagalamukhi is both unique and significant. The tongue, the organ of speech and taste, is often regarded as a lying entity, concealing what is in the mind. The Bible frequently mentions the tongue as an organ of mischief, vanity and deceitfulness. The wrenching of the demon's tongue is therefore symbolic of the Goddess removing what's in essentiality a perpetrator of evil.

Bagalamukhi has Hypnotic Powers.  

Bagala may be a Goddess of speech, and intrinsically is said to Tara and considered a sort of her. When sound becomes manifest as light, Tara becomes Bagala. When the brilliant light of speech comes forth, then Tara gains the effulgence of Bagala and cause all things to become still. Bagala is thus the stunning radiance that comes forth from the Divine Word and puts the human or egoistic word to rest.

Bagala gives an influence of speech that leaves others silent and grasping for words. She gives the decisive statement, the irrefutable conclusions, the pronouncement of ultimate truth. Hence she is propitiated for fulfilment in discussions and debates. No one can defeat her because she has the true power of Self-nature.

The weapon that puts an end to all or any conflict and confusion is that the weapon of spiritual knowledge, the weapon of Brahman (Brahmastra). The highest sort of Brahmastra (ब्रह्मास्त्र) is the question "Who am I?" or "What is the Self?"

Bagala turns each thing into its opposite. She turns speech into silence, knowledge into ignorance, power into impotence, defeat into victory. She represents the knowledge whereby each thing must in time becomes its opposite. As the still point between dualities, she allows us to master them. We contact her grace once we see the other hidden in each situation and are not any longer deceived by appearances. To see the failure hidden in success, the death is hidden in life, or the joy hidden in sorrow are ways of contacting her reality. Bagala is that the secret presence of the other wherein each thing is dissolved back to the Unborn and therefore the Uncreate.

Bagala is another of the frightening sorts of the Goddess. Her colour is yellow. She is clad in yellow clothing and is adorned with yellow ornaments and yellow flowers (particularly the champak flower). With her left, she catches hold of her opponent's tongue and together with her right, she strikes him on the top together with her mace. She sits upon a golden throne surrounded by red lotuses. By some accounts, she wears the crescent moon as a jewel on her head.

Who is Matangi?

Matangi is the ninth Mahavidya.

Matangi relates to the Hindu deity, the deity of knowledge and therefore the consort of Lord Brahma, the creator of the universe. 

Mata virtually means that "a thought" or "an opinion." Matangi is therefore the deity power that has entered into thought or the mind. She is the word because of the embodiment of thought. She conjointly relates to the ear and our ability to concentrate, that is that the origin of true understanding that forms powerful thoughts. 

Matangi bestows information, talent and experience. She is that the deity of the word and of any outward articulation of inner information, as well as all sorts of art, music and dance. Matangi, like the Hindu deity, plays the Veena and rules over music or hearable sound normally, not simply the word. She is the manifest style of song. Like Hindu deity, she is symbolized by the cloud and by the thunder, further as by the rivers running into the ocean. She is that the moving sound, Nada, that flows within the delicate channels, Nadis, down through our entire body and mind. However, Matangi and Hindu deity area unit a bit completely different. 

Matangi is that the style of Hindu deity directed towards inner information. She is her dark, mystic, rapturous or wild kind. Hindu deity is usually a deity of solely standard learning, art and culture. Matangi rules over the extraordinary, which makes us on the far side the bounds of the standard. Matangi is an outcast or creative person who goes against the norms of society, whereas Hindu deity represents the information and virtue of the Brahmin or learned category that ne'er departs from correctitude. 

Matangi is that portion of the Hindu deity that is allied with the reworking energy of Kali. The guru (spiritual teacher) instruct us through the spoken word. Hence his vehicle among the deity is Matangi. Matangi represents the teachings of the guru and therefore the tradition. She represents the continuity of religious instruction within the world. By conformation her we tend to conjointly honour the guru. Those seeking to show others, notably to speak to the plenty of individuals, ought to look for the grace of Matangi. 

According to the Upanishads, the essence of the individual is speech. What we tend to categorical through speech is that the final product of all that we tend to take into ourselves in life. This final residue and illustration of who we tend to area unit through speech are Matangi. This, however, isn't standard or casual speech, however, the deepest expression of our hearts. The Divine Word has power, feeling, and keenness, which isn't mere human feeling however Divine cloud nine. The Divine Word isn't simply a theoretical or sensible statement however an effusion of energy and delight. This joy is another side of Matangi. Matangi is therefore a wild, sportive and rapturous deity. 

Matangi represents the ministerial power of the deity. She is the counsellor to Rajarajeshvari or Tripura Sundari, the Supreme Queen of the universe. She is named Mantrini and has power over all mantras, notably in their vocalization and articulation. She offers the North American nation the power to speak with all the opposite Gods and Goddesses through the facility of the mantra. really she rules over all sorts of information, counsel and teaching. Those seeking proficiency in these areas ought to honour Matangi. 

Matangi is dark emerald green in colour, the colour of deep knowledge and profound life-energy, which is also the colour of the planet Mercury that governs intelligence. She plays the Veena, an instrument sort of a stringed instrument, that shows her musical and moving power. She is gorgeous and carries numerous weapons to fascinate and subdue us. In this regard, she has equivalent ornaments and weapons as Sundari. She is usually aforesaid to own a parrot in her hands, which represents the powers of speech as inherent in nature. She sits on a throne manufactured from gems.

Once upon a time Vishnu and Lakshmi went to visit Shiva and Parvati. God Vishnu and Lakshmi gave Shiva and Parvati fine food, and some pieces fell to the ground. From these remains emerged a maiden endowed with good qualities. She asked for leftover food (uccishtha). Shiva told the attractive maiden, "Those who repeat your mantra and worship you, their activities will be fruitful & will be able to control their enemies and obtain the objects of their desires. After that, this maid was known as UCCISHTHA-MATANGINI.  She is the one that gives all the blessings.

WHO IS MAHAKALI?

Maha Kali

Kali (Eternal Night): The first Mahavidya is Kali in a corpse. Hugely terrifying, laughing out loud, with hideous teeth, four arms holding a sword and skull and giving gifts to mudras and dispelling fear, wearing a garland of skulls, wildly waving tongue, completely naked (Digambara - dressed in the directions), with only a garland of demonic hands around his waist, with strands of a cascade of black hair piled Kali, who dwells in the centre of the cremation site

Kali - The Goddess of Yogic Transformation

As the chosen deity worshipped by Paramahansa Ramakrishna, one of the famous modern masters of the Hindu tradition, Kali is one of the most important famous of Maha Vidya, but still not well understood, we admire the anger in Ramakrishna: His love, happiness and universal spirit from her are a gift from Kali to us. Kali has already transmitted her message for modernity.

Meaning of Kali

Kali means beauty. The root Kal, from which the name comes, means "to count", "to measure". "Or" set in motion ", hence" time ". It is also related to what is well modelled or measured, hence beauty. Time itself has a movement, a rhythm, a dance that is the basis of all beauty This is also the rhythm of the life force that allows movement.

Kali is dark blue and wears a garland She has her long tongue sticking out and laughs. Sometimes instead of a tongue, she has two fangs. She has four arms and four hands and holds a helicopter head with one hand and one. Time is life. Life is our movement in time. We experience time through our own life force or prana. Kali as time is prana or the life force. 

Kali or the divine mother is our life. It is the secret force behind the work of our body systems and life energy. Only through them do we live and it is their intelligence that gives the body such a wonderful order. Kali is the love that exists in the heart of life; that is immortal life that cycles through life and death through the eternal nature of life Birth and permanent death is another meditative approach. 

The truth is that our soul, our pursuit of the divine, which is our eternal love, has never died and will never die, so that the things of the spirit and the senses may die and know cosmic life and divine grace us this eternal life But eternal life has Only the immortal can be immortal as nothing can change its own nature. The mortal and the ephemeral must pass. To achieve the eternity that is Kali, our mortal nature must be sacrificed. Thus, Kali appears terrifying and destructive to ordinary vision. The Nirvanic field, the realm of the unborn, the uncreated and the unmanifest. Kali only develops ways to take us further. When his power awakens in us, he works to remove all limitations and attachments so that we can transcend the entire field of the known. 

All things are achieved with her. time and breath, but what he achieves is not a merely external act but performs the spiritual work of our rebirth in pure consciousness. It generates energy for him and does the work when we surrender to his strength.

---

Kali is that the love that exists at the guts of life, which is that the immortal life that endures through both life and death. Maintaining the attention of the eternal nature of life through the cycles of birth and death is another one amongst her meditational approaches. the reality is that our soul, our aspiration towards the Divine, which is our eternal love, never has died and never will die. To be responsive to that enduring aspiration is to die to the items of the mind and therefore the senses, and are available to grasp the cosmic life and Divine grace. 

Kali grants us this life. Yet life encompasses a price. Only that which is immortal will be immortal, as nothing can change its own nature. The mortal and therefore the transient must depart this world. to achieve the eternity that's Kali, our mortal nature must be sacrificed. Hence Kali appears frightening and destructive to the standard vision. Kali because the power of death and negation is Nirvana, the state of the dissolution of desire. 

 Kali develops forms only to require us beyond form. When her force awakens within us she works to interrupt down all limitations and attachments, in order that we'd transcend the whole field of the known. Kali is the power of action or transformation (Kriya-shakti). Through time and breath, all things are accomplished. Yet what she accomplishes isn't mere outer action. 

Kali is blueness in colour and wears a garland of skulls. She has her long tongue protruding and is laughing. Sometimes rather than a tongue, she has two fangs. Kali has four arms and 4 hands and holds a head chopper with one hand and a severed head dripping blood with the opposite. along with her other two hands, she makes the mudras of bestowing boons and dispelling fear. She wears a skirt product of human arms. Kali is portrayed as dancing during a cremation ground and striding on a corpse (who is that the style of Lord Shiva himself).
