Dus Mahavidya Mantra And Tantra Sadhna

Dus Mahavidya

Of all the deities, Gods and Goddesses the ten Mahavidyas enjoy a very respectable place in the spiri­tual spheres. In fact to join the most exalted group of enlightened ones as a prerequisite Sadhaks have to attain Siddhi of at least four of the ten Mahavidyas.

All these Goddesses are different forms of Adya Ma Shakti who remains ever eager to bestow all favours upon her children. Hence she has assumed these di­verse forms which are capable of blessing one with different boons.

Sadhanas of Mahavidyas were formulated by the sages with the aim of helping the common people overcome various hurdles in life. Thus we have Kali, the destroyer of all enemies, Chhinmasta for spiritual elevation and activation of Kundalini, Dhoomavati for banishing worries or anxieties, Matangi for riddance from diseases and a healthy body, Maha Tripur Sundari for an attractive beautiful personality, Shodashi for enchanting charms and mannerisms and Kamala for wealth and success in trade, Tara, Bhuvaneshwari and Baglamukhi.

We hope that Sadhaks and readers are able to reap the rewards of such wondrous practices that are rare even for Gods.

In their strong associations with death, violence, pollution, and despised marginal social roles, they call into question such normative social "goods" as worldly comfort, security, respect, and honor. The worship of these goddesses suggests that the devotee experiences a refreshing and liberating spirituality in all that is forbidden by established social orders.

The central aim here is to stretch one's consciousness beyond the conventional, to break away from approved social norms, roles, and expectations. By subverting, mocking, or rejecting conventional social norms, the adept seeks to liberate his or her consciousness from the inherited, imposed, and probably inhibiting categories of proper and improper, good and bad, polluted and pure. Living one's life according to rules of purity and pollution and caste and class that dictate how, where, and exactly in what manner every bodily function may be exercised, and which people one may, or may not, interact with socially, can create a sense of imprisonment from which one might long to escape.

Shri Shiva said: Listen, beautiful one to Kalika's Bhairava. On Dakshina's right, worship Mahakala, with whom Dakshina is always in love union. Worship Akshobya on the right of Tara. Devi, the kalakuta poison produced by the churning of the ocean caused great agitation to all the gods and their consorts.
"Because he destroyed the agitation caused by the deadly yellow poison, he is known as Akshobya. Thus Tarini, the Mahamaya, always delights in her consort.
"On the right hand side of Mahatripurasundari, worship Shiva in his five-faced form with three eyes in each of the faces, O lady of the gods. She always delights in sexual union with her consort, O Mahadevi. For this reason, she is known as the famous Pancami. On the right side of Shrimad Bhuvaneshvari, who in the heavens, on earth, and in the underworlds is known as the Adya, worship Tryambaka. She makes love with Tryambaka in these places, it is said. He and his Shakti are mentioned and worshipped in all tantras. On Bhairavi's right side is Dakshinamurti. By supreme efforts, one should certainly worship that five faced one.
"On Cchinnamasta's right side, worship Shiva-Kabandha. By worshipping him, one becomes lord of all siddhi. The Mahavidya Dhumavati is a widow. Seated on the right of Bagala is the Maharudra, with one face, who dissolves the universe. On Matangi's right side is Shiva Matanga, similar to Dakshinamurti, the form of cosmic bliss. He who worships Sadashiva, the Vishnu form, on Kamala's right side becomes perfect, there is no doubt about this.
"On Annapurna's right hand side, worship Brahma, the giver of great liberation, the god with ten faces, the Maheshvara. On the right side of Durga, worship Narada. The letter Na causes creation, the letter Da maintenance, while the letter Ra causes dissolution. So he is known as the famour Narada. Worship the Rishi who "gave birth" to the other vidyas on their right hand side." (Todala Tantra)
