Valama thana vati vitapinam – of the trees in Indra’s garden. Champakaashoka sougandhika lasatkacha, Kuruvindamanishreni Kanatkotira manditaO Consort of Shiva, may your dense hair that has a shine of full-blown forest. A fully blown forest is out of flowers that are of blue color that removed the darkness in our heart and removes the ignorance in the heart. Though the flowers have taken place in the lock of your braided hair with a fragrance that Shankara is experiencing. The fragrance is from the locks of Devi’s braid. As dawn removes the darkness in the same way the vision of Devi can remove ignorance from our hearts. From Samaya tantra, everything is superimposed. Mantra, yantra, and mandala is seen as one unless that is felt there is no Srividyopasana. All these are visualized at a particular part of the body, not as individuals through the focused visualization, the energy cannot be awakened. When sadhaka is doing mantra Japa within us, when performing yantra puja, it has to be visualized. Unless we become one with that, sadhana is incomplete. It has not even started. Once the full awakening has happened in the last verse, the energy activates in all the energy points with a connection established in them, then the vision of Devi in her totality takes over and the divine becomes one with us. She blesses each and every part of one. Even in our normal puja, we have anga puja where we worship her body parts and one is totally rejuvenated. It actually rejuvenates our body. From this point onwards the healing shakti is awakened. We direct her energy to all the different parts of our bodies. One needs to have sensitivity and reverence all at the same time. That is possible when we are sensitive, imaginative. The result of such worship and result is miraculous. The energy reacher into each and every molecular structure.
If we draw a mandala for this mantra, it is Devi’s face. The emphasis is on Devi’s locks of her braid. It is to take away our ignorance. We still need a vision of Devi. Shankara describes her hair which is in no way different from Vag Devi’s description. These gems get reflected in her thick black hair where the hair appears like an indigo color due to the lotus flower. Anja chakra as we know is Neela. Neela chikura also means back head chakra. It is just above the medulla oblongata. It is fully covered by hair. Hence the back head chakra will be activated if the hair is braided. What cannot be perceived by five Indriyas, communication with cosmic is possible. It is considered highly secretive and should not be exposed to others. Neela chikura. By developing the Neela chikura, we can realize her self illuminating form. Once Ajna chakra is fully activated, the mind becomes pure and dispels the darkness of ignorance which leads to the great experience of bliss.
Even for Shiva, he is Chandra Shekar, Chandra is given a lot of importance. One change in Kala. 15 Kalas represent panchadasi mantra. The invisible Kala is called Sodhashi. It is Bramhopasana, even Srividya is part of tantra shastra. Srividya tantra is tantra Shashtra. Still, it is Beamhavidya. The flowers in Indra’s garden are well decorated in Devi’s braid. It can be anything, experience in Bliss in us or Devi’s blessings. Though the scholars or poets can enjoy the poetry. The description of beauty beyond one’s imagination. With Soundarya we can attain atma Gyana. When we come to spirituality or materialistic things, our perception is different. One can see the mother in Wives but one cannot see the wife in the mother.
