RR Beads-Mahavidya Correspondences.

[Guest guest]

As we all know tantra deities overlap depending which shakha one holds with.

One may worship all the deities through any form of tantra. Tantras are mainly

divided into Vishnu, Shakta, Ganesha, Surya, and Siva. Each system posits its

deity as the One all and be all. They are all right. Not the question. A great

mind can accept open ended situations without needing closure. Hinduism and

tantra create great minds. It's what Keats called "Negative Capacity" in his

letters. The state of being able to live in the mental eye of the idea typhoon.

 

Shakta tantra has many schools just in itself. There are Sri Vidya,

Dashmahavidyas, Lakshmi, Kali, Tara, Lalita and other schools as well. But to

cut to the chase my point is that different deities are overlapped in Hinduism.

Remember Hinduism is an English term for a vast many systems of philosophy which

no one mind can fully grasp. Much easier to give them all a name and be done

with them. But again back to our purpose, which is that the devas overlap in

qualities. Some puranic analogies explain this concept such as Devi Mahatmyam

wherre Durga is considered a compilation of the qualities of all the Mahadevas

together. And Kali is her daughter. We all know that the next generation is

always more terrible than the last. Our children's purpose is to revisit our

sins back upon us with interest, a kind of catharsis of the soul if you will (an

aside).

 

So it seems to me that the RRbeads can be seen in terms of shakta worship in

terms of Dashmahavidya instead of typical Hindu mythos if one relates details

together. My first pick is 11 faced for Bagalamukhi because they cure problems

of misspeaking mantras and also intensify sadhanas just as does Bagalamukhi. In

south India Bagalamukhi yantra is worn alot due to the fact that all people are

uttering mantras all the time for benefit and other purposes. People wear

Bagala yantra for protection. So also 11 mukhi can be worn for the same

purpose. Someone at my job asked if I wore my beads for Buddha but I said no I

wear them for psychic protection. In our world many people talk behind our

backs and sit around and curse us all the time. I think Bagala Mukhi 11 faced

bead is a cure against this attack.

 

Some other correspondences. I read an article which I wish to find again where

the person writing says Kali and Agni of the Vedas are the same deity. So also

Krishna and Kali have been said to be the same and there is evidence that some

murtis of one and ther other deity have switched places in temples over time.

If this is the case then either 3 or 10 mouthed beads can be said to be Kali.
