How is Srividya related to Durga Saptashati - The Devata dhyana for Kilakam is Tripura Sundari on Sri Chakra, Bala and Lalitha have Aaahuti for specific Chapters of Saptashati when doing Chandika Havan, the same order of Devata mantra as in Kavacha, Argala, Keelaka, is also followed in Devi Adharavashirsha both having Srividya mantra, ….. Durga Saptashati is a treasure house of gems for a Sadhaka seeking materialistic results and it is strongly aligned with Srividya.

The Online Satsang on Guru Purnima (zoom invite will share in this group) is already tight packed with lot of content. If time permits will also give some insights on Srividya and Durga Saptashati.

The real name is Treepura Sundaree Devee (त्रीणर सुनढरी ढेवी IAST : Trīpura Sundarī Devī).

The variant name is Lalitaa (ललिता IAST : Lalita).

The word Treepura means 'three cities' or 'three worlds'. In this case is three worlds because she is one of the supreme Deities (Mother Godesses), the said worlds are above (heaven), human earth and below (Pataal - where demons live). While the word Sundaree means 'beautiful woman'. So her name can be translated as 'the beautiful woman who is the destroyer of three worlds'.

She is the another avatar of Goddess Paravatee. In this avatar she is the goddess of universal beauty. Some texts states she is also the goddess of pleasure.

She is one of ten Sree Mahaavidyaa Goddesses, the Deities who govern and help the devotees to discover the wisdom - the truth of ones' lives, which are various.

And the word 'Mahaavidyaa' (महीविढ्या IAST : Mahāvidyā) means 'great wisdom'.

[talonabraxas]

Cosmic Fire Snake Talon Abraxas

"Kundalini, the serpent power or mystic fire, is the primordial energy or Sakti that lies dormant or sleeping in the Muladhara Chakra, the centre of the body. It is called the serpentine or annular power on account of serpentine form. It is an electric fiery occult power, the great pristine force which underlies all organic and inorganic matter. Kundalini is the cosmic power in individual bodies. It is not a material force like electricity, magnetism, centripetal or centrifugal force. It is a spiritual potential Sakti or cosmic power. In reality it has no form. [...] O Divine Mother Kundalini, the Divine Cosmic Energy that is hidden in men! Thou art Kali, Durga, Adisakti, Rajarajeswari, Tripurasundari, Maha-Lakshmi, Maha-Sarasvati! Thou hast put on all these names and forms. Thou hast manifested as Prana, electricity, force, magnetism, cohesion, gravitation in this universe. This whole universe rests in Thy bosom. Crores of salutations unto thee. O Mother of this world! Lead me on to open the Sushumna Nadi and take Thee along the Chakras to Sahasrara Chakra and to merge myself in Thee and Thy consort, Lord Siva. Kundalini Yoga is that Yoga which treats of Kundalini Sakti, the six centres of spiritual energy (Shat Chakras), the arousing of the sleeping Kundalini Sakti and its union with Lord Siva in Sahasrara Chakra, at the crown of the head. This is an exact science. This is also known as Laya Yoga. The six centres are pierced (Chakra Bheda) by the passing of Kundalini Sakti to the top of the head. "Kundala" means "coiled". Her form is like a coiled serpent. Hence the name Kundalini." - Swami Sivananda, Kundalini Yoga

[ididntorderthesoup]

"Shakti, the mother power or divine energy, has many forms and symbols. All beauty and all ugliness flow from her. She is Lakshmi, the auspicious, bestower of boons and beauty. She is Saraswati, the giver of all wisdom and art. She is Tripurasundari, the most beauteous in the three worlds. But she is also Kaali, the destroyer, whose wrath ignites the storm, the thunder, and the lightning. She is Mahishasuramardini, killer of the demon Mahisha. She is Chandika, the terrible, who lets loose the typhoon, the flood, and the tidal wave."

-Shakti: Realm of the Divine Mother, Vanamali

trans arjuna real?

that aside his time as Brihannala varies as him either being cursed to be a eunuch or a hijra, which sometimes gets translated as being like a eunuch but is more like a third gender category that includes transgender women, intersex people and eunuchs.

independently of THAT there's also another story in the Padma Purana where Arjuna really wants to know what Krishna's relationship with his Gopis are like so he goes and makes some devotions to the goddess Tripurasundari on Krishna's recommendation who then has him bathe in a magic lake that turns him into a full on girl (and also hard resets his memory). And then she hangs out with Krishna and the Gopis and has a nice time and everyone is very happy and nice and friends.

Both times he does turn back into a guy but at the very least its cool that he has a more relaxed relationship with it all.

Northeast India-Seven Sisters State of India✨

Seven States in the eastern most part of India

The Northeast corner of India is calling all adventure seekers and nature lovers! Often referred to as the Seven Sisters, these eight states (Arunachal Pradesh snuck in!) boast breathtaking landscapes, vibrant cultures, and some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet. Let's explore a glimpse of what each has to offer:

1. Arunachal Pradesh: The Land of Dawn-Lit Mountains

Imagine snow-capped peaks piercing the clouds, emerald valleys cradling serene monasteries, and rushing rivers carving their way through the Himalayas.

2. Assam: Gateway to the Seven Sisters & Land of One-Horned Rhinos

Assam is the heart of the Northeast, with vast tea plantations blanketing rolling hills. Spot the elusive one-horned rhino in Kaziranga National Park, or cruise down the mighty Brahmaputra River.

3. Nagaland: Where Warriors Dance & Hornbill Festivals Dazzle

Immerse yourself in the rich tribal heritage of Nagaland. Witness the vibrant Hornbill Festival, a celebration of music, dance, and indigenous crafts.

4. Manipur: The Land of Exquisite Dance & Serene Lakes

Manipur is a cultural haven, famous for its graceful Manipuri dance form. Take a boat ride on Loktak Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Northeast India, dotted with unique floating islands made of phumdis (heterogeneous masses of vegetation).

5. Meghalaya: Abode of Clouds & The Wettest Place on Earth ️

Meghalaya lives up to its name, with dramatic waterfalls cascading down lush hills and misty clouds clinging to the peaks. Sohra (Cherrapunjee) holds the record for the highest annual rainfall, making it a haven for trekkers seeking a truly mystical experience.

6. Mizoram: The Sing-Song State & Land of a Hundred Hills

Mizoram's rolling green hills and friendly locals who love to sing will leave you enchanted. Explore hidden waterfalls, trek through bamboo forests, or simply relax and soak in the serenity.

7. Sikkim: Where Himalayas Meet Serenity ️

Sikkim is a trekker's paradise. Hike through the Himalayas, marvel at the beauty of snow-capped Kanchenjunga, or visit serene monasteries nestled amidst the mountains.

8. Tripura: Unexplored Gem & Land of Tripurasundari Temple

Tripura is an off-the-beaten-path destination with a rich history and vibrant culture. Visit the magnificent Tripurasundari Temple, one of the holiest Hindu pilgrimage sites, or explore the untouched beauty of its hills and forests.

🟣🟣🌸🌸🟡🟡🌸🌸🟣🟣 AN AMAZING AUSPICIOUS BEAUTIFUL DEVIMAA 🌺🌺🌺from @vishvrajsinh_the_artist • . ༺।। श्रीविद्या ।।༻ ꧁𝐒𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐚 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐢꧂ Śrī Balā Tripurasundarī is a child form of the Devī.She is Non Different from Śrī Lalita Mahātripurasundarī herself. She is seen with four hands holding an akshamālā, pustaka, abhaya and varadam. Her Vāhana is a swan (Hamsa) and is the representation of complete knowledge and wisdom.She is Gurumaṇḍaḷa rūpiṇī. Bala = Guru"....... Context? She is the one who resides in the Guru sthana in one's body. She is the intuitive power behind every Siddha. It is because of her that the line of siddhas starting from Shree Agastya himself had direct connections with the divine. But in today's world, she is underestimated. People yearn to go to the next stage without properly propitiating her. Shree Dakshinaamoorti's gurumaataa was Shree Bala Tripurasundari who later gave herself to Shree Dakshinaamoorti, in the form of Shree Tripurabhairavi, as his consort after eons of worshipping her. Hence she is the very embodiment of Guru Tattva. She is gurumandala all in all. Let us remember her through a verse : हे देवी गुरुरूपिणी शुभकरी कन्यास्वरूपे परे हे बाले ललिते बदरीशवन्दितपदे हे भैरवी मोक्षदे । हे सौम्ये वरदाभये शिवनुते रक्ताम्बरालंकृते श्रीविद्ये करपुस्तके सुखकरी माम् पातु पूर्णे सदा || Verses written by @kayceevee_19 #srividya #devi #ammavaru #manidweepam #shaktism #parabramha #shakta #srikulim #srimata #shodashi #mataji #sripuram #art #balatripurasundari #bala #bhuvaneshwari #srichakra #artistoninstagram #bahucharaji #bhuvaneshvari #lalita #kanchipuram #balambika #instaart #shreevidya #srividyaseries #vishvrajsinhtheartist #digitalart #indianculture #shreevidyaseries https://www.instagram.com/p/CpCHTpBuHxx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
