10 MahaVidyas - Mother Bhuvaneshwari & Chhinnmastaka

[Guest guest]

4 - Bhuvaneshari & Trayambakam Shiva : Sun has been manifested…all

the planet systems are in place. All the three lokas have been

manifested….and now SHE is changed into Bhuvaneshawari to look after

and sustain the universe. This force is responsible for arranging

food for every being in the unvierse. she takes care of 8.4 million

types of living beings ..she arranges for their food and looks after

their evolution.

 

Bhuvaneshawari means the queen of all Bhuvanas (lokas)… Hence

Bhuvaneshwari sustains all the three lokas. It is she who looks

after all the living beings in the universe. She provides food to

all including bacterias, virus, plants and animals.

She is worshipped as :-

 

Udyadin dyutimindu kiritam tungkucham nayantrayauktam

smermukhi vardamksh pasha bhitikram prabhaje bhuvneshim.

worshipping Bhuvneshari brings happiness and many siddhis.

 

 

5- Chhinamastaka & Kabandh Shiv: In this universe, all beings live

by exchanging something. One live on others…For example….sun is

sending its heat to the earth. If we keep a bucket of water outside…

whole day sun rays will heat up the water…and in the evening even if

sun is not there…the water will remain hot. It shows some portion of

the Sun was separated from him and was mixed in the water. Plants

are giving their part to animals who are giving their proteins to

humans and humans are re-planting vegetabels etc. to complete the

circle.

 

The Mythology behind Chhinnamastaka is that once Mother Parvati was

strolling in the forest with her two friends. Both were hungry and

they requested Parvati to go home, but Parvati was so busy in

appreciating the beauty of the forest that she did not listen to

them. At this her friends became angry and taunted her that she

does not care for her followers. Parvati immediately cut her head

and two streams of her blood oozed from her neck and went to the

mouth of her friends, who satisfied their hunger….hence she is

called Chhinnamastaka.

 

The esoteric meaning behind this story may be that Parvati in her

pure Sattvic form can not manifest as universe. There has to be an

imbalance of gunas. So Sat guna cuts its head and nourishes Raj and

Tam.

 

This shakti, gives her blood (Life Force) to sustain the universe.

She resides in the Sun and sends a part of her energy out into the

solar system in form of heat, light, and radiation. These

radiations are used by us in sustaining our life. Light helps in

photosynthesis in plants and making food for living beings. Heat

and other radiations are used in making climates so that we can live

happily…..but this energy is received when Mother Chhinnamastaka

sends us a part of her body (life force)…

The force which arranges all this is called Chhinnamastaka. Her name

means a goddess without head. It indicates separation of valuable

part of the sun to be used by living beings for sustaining life. At

the time of Maha Pralaya (final destruction of universe)

chhinnamastaka stops sustaining and destroys the inter-relations

between beings and life comes to an end in our solar system.

worshipping chhinmastaka brings fearlessness and many siddhis.
