Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Om Gurave Namah Namaste Guruji, Thanks for the excellent paper on Dasa Mahavidyas. Just what I needed! Your paper made me search the web for more inputs about Dasa Mahavidyas and it was all very interesting. I thought Bagala mukhi being a martian goddess would be red, but instead I find that She's yellow (Jupiter), and her sadhana is known as Pitambari vidya!! And one knows that where Mars is exalted, Jupiter is not and where Jupiter is exalted Mars is not. Same is the case with Tara... though associated with Jupiter, She's blue and terrible like Saturn! Matangi, I thought would be red/orange, but she's blue again like Saturn, though associated with Sun. From my very basic perspective, it looks as though Dasa Mahavidya worship a) rescues a planet/native from debilitation, both material and spiritual. b) aims at breaking down of prejudices, pre-conceptions and enmities.And tells us that we very much need to unlearn in order to learn!! I think it is about overcoming one's ego and learning to accept/love the enemy and his view-point, so that the feeling of enmity itself and the shad-ripus which are the very basis of all enmity and avidya in the world are destroyed. c) teaches us that exaltation and debilitation in life are relative and temporary and all through this one must continue to seek THAT, which is pervasive and permanent. Thanks for the lovely lesson.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Shri Brahmadaru Smarami Dear Lakshmi, Waiting for Sanjayji to reply to your mail! What I have heard so far is that Tara shakti is pink in colour. Matangi if I am right, is probably green (not sure). Kamalatmika is white or watery, pastel Piscean colours. Tripura is red, I think.

In Meenakshi Ashtottara naama (108 names). Her first name is Maatangi.
