"Kubjikā a secret goddess, having immense metaphysical depth, a large varieties of forms, and varied methods of yoga (especially those linked with the movement of vital breath), appears in the Bhairava and then the Western Kaula Tantra (Paschima-amnaya ) Traditions of the Himalayan regions during 7th century. She is variously addressed in her Tantras as :Kubjinī – the Hunchback Girl; Kubjī, Kujā, Kujī, Khañjinī – the Lame One; Vakrikā or Vakrā – the Crooked One; Ciñcinī – the Goddess residing in the Tamarind tree; Kulālikā – the Potteress; Ambā or the vernacular forms as : Avvā, Anāmā, Laghvikā; and, most common of all as Śrī – the Royal One who has as her scripture, teaching, school and tradition (anvaya, āmnāya); and as the Śrīmata. Kubjinī, a very secret goddess is worshiped in her Tantras along with Bhairava, her consort. As Kundalini, Kubjika is worshipped as the Goddess who is curled up and sleeping, waiting to be awakened. The sect of Nine Natahas is believed to have propagated the cult of Kubjika throughout Nepal and North India.

In the Kaula Tantra (Paschima-amnaya) Tradition, Devi Kubjika is worshiped with Shiva with his five faces Sadyojata; Vamadeva, Tatpurusha; Aghora and Ishana.. The hallowed mother Kubjika has six faces.

She is adorned with serpents: Karotaka as a waist band; Takshaka as a mid-riff ornament; Vasuki as garland; and, the venomous cobra Kulika as an ear ornament.

She holds in her arms as skull, a king-cobra, a crystal-bead rosary, skull-topped rod, a conch, a book, a trident, a mirror, a straight sword, a gem necklace, an ankusha (goad) and a bow. She is of fair complexion like a young jasmine flower.

The mantra of Kubjika is Om Shrim Prim Kubjike Devi Hrim Thah Svaha

As per the Kaula Tantra (Paschima-amnaya), Lord Bhairava initiates the Devi into the Kubjikā-mata-tantra, saying: Oh the Goddess of great fortune! O bestower of great bliss! (Mahābhāge Mahā-ananda-vidhāyini) The teaching that you have requested is truly astonishing and salutary (atyadbhutam anāmayam). That is kept secret by all the Rudras, Tantric heroes, and Bhairavas. Nevertheless, I will teach you that secret Tantra, which has come down through a series of transmissions,established through the line of Siddhas (Siddha mārga kramāyātaṃ Siddha paṅkti vyavasthitaṃ)..

Sādhu sādhu Mahābhāge Mahā-ananda-vidhāyini | pṛcchitaṃ yat tvayā vākyam atyadbhutam anāmayam || gopitaṃ sarva Rudrāṇāṃ vīrāṇāṃ Bhairaveṣu ca | Siddha-kramaṃ nirācāraṃ tathāpi kathayāmi te || Siddha mārga kramāyātaṃ Siddha paṅkti vyavasthitaṃ – Kubjikāmatatantra 1.44-46:

The Kaula Śhaiva Siddantha recognizes the lineage (santati) of four innately enlightened Siddhas (sāṃ-siddhika), the Masters of Four Ages (Yuga-nāthas) in the transmission (krama) of the Kaula-marga.

Abhinavagupta, in his Tantrāloka, recalls with reverence the Guru-linage (Guru-santati) , commencing with the four Siddhas, the Yuga-nāthas, together with their consorts: Khagendra and Vijjāmbā; Kūrma and Maṅgalā; Meṣa and Kāmamaṅgalā; and finally, Macchanda (Matsyendranātha) and Kuṅkuṇāmbā (Koṅkaṇā).

khagendraḥ sahavijjāmba illāri ambayā saha || vaktaṣṭir vimalo ‘nantamekhalāmbāyutaḥ purā | śaktyā maṅgalayā kūrma illāri ambayā saha || jaitro yāmye hy avijitas tathā sānandamekhalaḥ | kāmamaṅgalayā meṣaḥ kullāri ambayā saha || vindhyo ‘jito ‘py ajarayā saha mekhalayā pare | macchandaḥ kuṃkuṇāmbā ca ṣaḍyugmaṃ sādhikārakam. – Tantrāloka 29.29cd-31:

Matsyendranātha or Macchandanātha, the most iconic Siddha, is said to be primarily responsible for the spread of the Kaula-marga of the Shaiva Siddantha in this Kali Age.

Apart from Matsyendranātha, some other Siddhas were also said to have played an important role in propagation of the Kula-mārga.

The Tantric text, Devīpañcaśatikā, mentions the set of four other Siddha-couples: Niṣkriyānanda and Jñānadīpti; Vidyānanda and Raktā; Śaktyānanda and Mahānandā; and , Śivānanda and Samayā

niṣkriyānandanāthaś ca jñānadīptyā sahaikataḥ ||vidyānandaś ca raktā ca dvitīyaḥ kathitas tava | śaktyānando mahānandaḥ tṛtīyaḥ siddhapūjitaḥ || śivānando mahānandaḥ samāyātaś caturthakaḥ | khagendrādyādisiddhānāṃ kathitā gurusantatiḥ – Devīpañcaśatikā 3.15cd-17."

[the-hem]

"Purusha." From the Rudraksha Jabala Upanishad, the Exploration of the Mysteries of the Metronome.

The devotee, when wearing Rudrakshas on the head, should repeat his Ishta Mantra (to his personal deity), and when wearing them round the neck, should repeat the Tat-Purusha Mantra and when wearing round the throat, should repeat the Aghora Mantra.

The Tatpurusha Gayatri Mantra is offered to Murugan, the god of War and Justice, who is also called Kartik and Krishna,

Om Tatpurushaya vidmahe Mahadevaya Dhimahi

Tanno Rudra prchodayat

“Homage to the spark of life, the greatest God, the most learned, the destroyer of ignorance and suffering, please hear our prayers.”

 The same Mantra (Aghora) should be recited when wearing round the chest also. He should wear them round the arms with the Aghora Bija Mantra:

oṃ aghorebhyo'tha ghorebhyo ghora ghora tarebhyaḥ

sarvebhyas sarva sarvebhyo namaste'stu rudra rūpebhyaḥ

 “My salutations to those who are not terrible, to those who are terrible, and to those who are both terrible and not terrible.”

While the days are never the same, the Self is always the Self. Once the sperm meets the egg in any creature, that One Self, called Purusha by the Upanishad merges them together and life begins and keeps beginning over and over. May we pay homage to all life in homage of Him.

Dwand Samas Ke Kitne Bhed Hote Hain

Dwand Samas, also known as compound words, are formed by combining two or more words to create a new word with a different meaning. In Sanskrit grammar, there are four main types of Dwand Samas. Avyayibhava Dwand: In this type, two words with similar meanings are combined to form a compound word. For example, "Gauri-Ganga" (Gauri and Ganga), where both words refer to rivers. Tatpurusha Dwand: In this type, the first word describes or qualifies the second word. For example, "Rama-Krishna" (Rama and Krishna), where Rama and Krishna are both names of deities. Karmadharaya Dwand: In this type, the first word acts as the object of the second word. For example, "Bhagya-Vidhata" (fortune and creator), where "Bhagya" (fortune) is the object of "Vidhata" (creator). Dvigu Dwand: In this type, both words have independent meanings but are combined to create a new word. For example, "Gau-Mutra" (cow and urine), where "Gau-Mutra" refers to cow urine. These are the four main types of Dwand Samas in Sanskrit grammar, each serving a different purpose in creating compound words.

Via Exotic India: Pancha-Mukha Shiva -  Water Color Painting on Paper Artist- Kailash Raj

This miniature, a contemporary masterpiece rendered against a turquoise green background in the late 18th century Kangra art style, represents five-faced form of Lord Shiva usually known in the Shaivite tradition as Sadashiva. 

This representation almost exactly pursues the iconographic convention of Shiva’s Pancha-mukha form as it initially evolved in early sculptures which have four of his faces carved on all four sides believed to guard all four directions, and the fifth, above the other four skywards-facing. The representation is simply exotic for in miniature paintings the canvas does not have the stone's multi-dimensionality to portray four directions and to plant a fifth, above them. However, this miniature, reproducing a great masterpiece from Kangra in hill region of late eighteenth century, so manipulates the canvas that it imparts a strong sense of multi-dimensionality.

Corresponding to his five faces Shiva’s anatomy has been conceived with ten arms, all carrying his one attribute or other : the right side hands carrying four – trident, thunderbolt ‘mustaka’ or heavy-blow-beat rod, sword and axe, the fifth being held in protective posture – ‘abhaya’, and the left, snake, noose, bell, goad and ‘damaru’, the double-drum. All five heads have their independent hair but in addition also a large basket-type massive ‘jata-juta’ – matted coiffure, cradling on it the fifth head. Except a snake carried in one of his hands merely as an attribute he has neither his usual elephant hide, tiger skin, serpents crawling on his body, skull-garland or anything revealing his ferocious form. On the contrary, in everything : from the iconography of his form – his large fluid eyes, sharp features, hair-style and the style o ear-ornaments, to his modeling and moonlike translucent body-colour, he reveals a strange feminine look.

Instead of seated on his usual tiger-skin this sublime form of the Great Lord has been conceived as seated on a large double lotus installed on a beautifully inlaid hexagonal chowki in cross-legged posture wearing a delicately printed ‘antariya’ – lower wear, reflecting a sari’s look. The figure reveals great benignity and rare divinity. The chowki, enshrining his figure, besides embedded with precious stones, has a high back and an umbrella canopying over Lord Shiva’s form, though like the entire Creation it also falls short of his expanse. A large bolster in maroon-red affording pleasant contrast to his figure’s pearls-like translucent white and his yellow ‘antariya’ is, like the lotus-seat, an element not usually represented in Shaivite iconography. In exact miniature tradition all five faces are in profile. The absence of his mount bull is noticeable. The form of his third eye has been conceived like an ornamental mark on the forehead, not like a feature that awed by its strange grotesqueness.

In Shaivite thought, Shiva is one of the Gods-Trio but also the ever present Sadashiva. The Pancha-mukha cult has broadly two lines, though both accept that it is the manifest form of Sadashiva – the ever present Shiva. Under one tradition, it is in his ‘ling’ form that Shiva has his five faces and that it is the ‘ling’ which is his ultimate manifestation. The ‘ling’ is the ‘jyoti’ – the potential flame, which represents ‘pancha-bhutas’ – the five cosmic elements or constituents of the cosmos. Thus, it is out of him that the cosmos is born. The other tradition is not much different. It conceives Shiva as Ishan, or as ‘Panchavaktramatrinetram’, that is, Shiva combines in him Tatpurusha, Vamadeva, Aghora, Sadyojata and Ishan, representing respectively the wind, the water, the fire, creative function, and the space. Thus again Shiva's five heads manifest the five cosmic elements and functions.
