Dear Freedom,

10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy">When I read you mail on the Nava durga, I

recollected something which Gurudev told me long back. He was saying that the

tithi in which one is born has a very specific significance in the the life of

the native. Being the child of both the lumineries, it is store house of

knowledge. Recently we found out how to find the Jyotirlingam based on the

tithi.

10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy">There is a way we can find the mother form

from the tithi too. For the Krsna Paksha, the Dasa Mahavidya form is

predominant and for the Sukla Paksha, the Durga form is predominant. Just take

the lord of the tithi worship the mother form, based on the paksha.

mother is

They

are Kali rupas from the point of view of Bhu shakti, Sri shakti, and Nila

(kali) Shaktis. Look at Sanjay’s foundations of Vedic astrology.

All 33

crore devattas can be divided into 33, which can be divided into the 3

functions of Brahma, Shiva, and Visnu.

 

You can

research the nav durga on the net but the only place I know of then is from the

“Devi Mahatmya”, the text itself and the kavach before it. I have

about 6 translations of the text so it is available in the

color:green">US

color:green">. There are mantras for all of the Devis in the “Mantra

Mahaarnava”, if you get a translated copy of that let me know

Kali

Mahavidya is the rupa which removes the negativity of Shani. All the Mahavidyas

are Kali Shakti Rupas removing the negativity of different planets and houses,

Kali Devi is one of the Mahavidyas as well, and there are a multitude of forms

for that form of Kali Devi, like Chandi and Chamunda to name the popular ones.

Be prepared for different traditions to tell you different views. The Hindu

pantheon is a multidimensional matrix, it is not a linear family tree.

Dear

Freedom,

 

Thanks

for giving the Nava Durga forms, I never read about them

before. Can I ask where you learned about them or how I can read

more. I also never knew that the das Mahavidya were all kali rupa, did I

understand that correctly? I naturally just thought that that just Saturn

was Kali.

 

For

those interested, I'm listing the forms of Lakshmi as given in

Narayan's paper that he presented at the 2003 conference in

SimSun">Edison.

Hopefully the paper and recording of the conference wil lbe coming out soon.

 

Maha

Lakshmi and her 8 rupa forms

Sun:

Dhanya Lakshmi

Moon:

Dhana Lakshmi

Mars:Dhaara

Lakshmi

Mercury:Vidya

Lakshmi

Venus:

Maha Lakshmi

Jupiter:

Santaana Lakshmi

Saturn:Adi

Lakshmi

Rahu:

Vijaya Lakshmi

Kutu:Gaja

Lakshmi

 

I'd

like to also like to post the list of Devi associated wit the Vishnu avatars that

Sanjay-ji mentioned in the 2002 conference, but I'll have to review them first.

 

Thanks

again Freedom

 

Best

Regards,

Karen

Sun-Shaylaputra (daughter of the Mountains)

Moon- Mahagauri

Mars- Skandamata

Mercury- Katyayani

Jupiter- Brahmacharini

Venus-

Kushmandi

Saturn-

Kalaratri

Rahu- Chandraganta (bell of the Moon)

Ketu- Siddhidatri (giver of siddhis)

 

And there is

a list of the different Rupas of Laksmi, I know

Narayan Iyer talked about them in one of his lectures at the 2003 East Coast

conferences. We should get him to upload them.

 

The

Mahavidyas (Kali Rupas) should only be used if you know what you are doing with

them, otherwise it is better to use a Laxsmi or Durga Rupa. As The Kali rupas

can destroy significations, they are generally used to remove negative effects

of planets not normally for the

supportive Palana devata.

 

The

Palana devata is the deity that will provide for your material needs in this

life. Like a mother She will see to it that you have food, home,

resources etc.
