Guest guest Posted September 11, 2004 Report Posted September 11, 2004 Dear Brothers and Sisters, Aum Namah Shivayah! My humble pranams at the Lotus Feet of our most beloved Maa and Swamiji. I have a question for the group: In the Dhyanam on MahaKali in the Chandi (Khadgam Chakra Gadheshu Chaapa ...), she is described as holding nine weapons in Her nine hands. Is Her tenth hand in Abhaya Mudra? Forgive me if I counted wrong. Jai Maa! Jai Swamiji! srinivasan Quote
Guest guest Posted September 12, 2004 Report Posted September 12, 2004 Namaste. Since the 9 weapons listed in the dhyanam at Chap1 can be viewed as means of removing our fears (e.g sword of worship the fear of anxiety - grants patience), maybe the 10th arm MahaKali is in the blessing mudra (not sure of the sankrit name).
