Dear Sarajit,

 

I am happy to see you mention this, as I had learned the same, with some added

dimensions. Shukla Pratipad to Dashami is the Durga rupa; Shukla Ekadashi to

Krishna Panchami is the Radha/Lakshmi rupa and from Krishna Shashthi to

Amavasya is the Kali rupa or the Dasa Mahavidyas. The transitional grey area is

the Radha or Lakshmi rupa, and maybe depicted by the different forms of Lakshmi,

including the Ashta Lakshmis. These three can be further associated with Neela

Shakti, Bhu Shakti and Sri Shakti and the three basic devi beejas, namely,

hrim, shrim and klim. It then looks something like the following:

 

Tithi Rupa Form of

Mother Shakti Bija

S1-S10 Durga Nava

Durga Bhu Hrim

S11-K5 Lakshmi Ashta Lakshmi

Sri Srim

K6-K15 Kali Dasa

Mahavidyas Nila Klim

 

We need to think and work on this much, much more...also will this correspond to

our janma tithis indicating the precise form of the Mother and the beeja

perhaps, most suited to us for worshipping her? Is this related to the 16 kalas

of the Moon?

 

Best regards,

 

Sarbani

Varaha| Navadurga and Dasa Mahavidya

|| Jaya Jagannath ||Dear Freedom,

 

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.

 

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.

 

So for Krsna Paksha Birth the form of the mother is

Sun- Matangi Moon- Bhubaneswari Mars- Bagalamukhi Merc- Tripurasundari Jup- Tara

Ven- Kamalatmika Sat- Kalika Rahu- Chinnamasta Ketu- Dhoomavati

 

 

For Sukla Paksha, the forms are as you mentioned

 

Sun-Shailyaputri (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)

 

I am born in Sukla Navami and hence I shall worship Shailyaputri.

 

Best Wishes

Sarajit

Hare Rama Krsna

 

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 US. There are

mantras for all of the Devis in the “Mantra Mahaarnava”, if you get

a translated copy of that let me knowJ

 

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 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

 

 

Hare Rama Krsna

 

You also have the Navadurgas:Sun-Shaylaputra (daughter of the Mountains)Moon-

MahagauriMars- SkandamataMercury- KatyayaniJupiter- Brahmacharini

Venus- Kushmandi

Saturn- KalaratriRahu- 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.
