DASH MAHAVIDYA AND NAVDURGA

Shakti has nine separate forms. These are called Navdurga

And there are dash mahavidyas,the ten goddesses who runs this whole universe.

What is the relation between navdurga and dash mahavidyas?

Combination of  Mahalakshmi with the nine forms of navdurga, creates dash mahavidya. Many scholars consider joining together of Shiva and Shakti as the reason behind creation of dash mahavidya.

Following dashmalav pranaali, one Indian rupee became hundred paisa and shoonya (zero) became symbol of Mahalakshmi.

Lakhpati in hindi means rich,prosperous individual.But the real meaning is lord vishnu who is lakshmi-pati. So it is clear that a lakhpati should have qualities of Vishnu like tej,manliness,dayaluta. But in today's world,millionaires and billionares are just dhanpati, hence lakshmi had to become chanchala

TANTRA - A DIVINE SCIENCE

Among Tantra upaasaks,there are many sadhana practices like chita,shav,shmashaan,shakti or shyama sadhana and pancha makaar.Such special sadhanas require right place and time.Tantra calls such sadhana places as Peeth.Those peeths are dev peeth,chatush peeth,shmashaan peeth and shyama peeth.Yantra ,Mantra, Mandal are important in it.Triangle plays a very important role in tantra.When it is upward pointed it indicates Shiva,while combination with downward pointed triangle indicates ardha nareeshwar or shiva shakti.

In ancient times,indian map was divided in a triangular way.Important triangular nodes in this division were 

• Ashva kraanta
• Ratha kraanta 
• Vishnu kraanta

Vindhyachal till chatt-gaon area are called vishnu kraanta

Vindhyachal till tibet area are called ratha kraanta

South india ,Java island etc are called ashva kraanta

Three places of importance were Kanchi, Kamakhya and Kashmir. 64 tantras were practised in these places.Important women siddhas of these places are discussed even today in the context of 64 yoginis. 64 shakti peeths in India also reminds us about the 64 divine Shaktis. Kerala tantra, Bengal tantra and Kashmir tantra are most famous in India.

PREM IN TANTRA

Prem connects two and converts dvaita into Advaita.Spirituality is the result of Kundalini awakening based in mooladhara and Her flow into the sahasraar chakra.Love happens due to the yearning of kundalini as Devi, and Shiva to re-unite with each other. 

The Adi shakti who created the universe resides in us as kundalini shakti.Guru deeksha awakens this shakti.Sammohan or attractive power is the result of this love and after dedicated sadhana, devi unites with Shiva.

Without prem, poorna kundalini jaagran cannot happen inside the sadhak. Tantra awakens this dormant power inside the sadhak.Hridaya paksha should develop for prem to mature inside the sadhak.

MATSYA NYAYA

In jungle, when every morning begins,cheetah thinks that he has to run faster than deer ,otherwise he would remain hungry; while deer thinks that if he wont run fast,he would become prey to cheetah.

In nature,both cheetah and deer are gripped with fear.One fear becoming food to another,while other fear about not getting food.Hence it is the rule of nature that little fishes are eaten by big fishes.

This is called Matsya nyaya or survival of the fittest.In order to become like cheetah ,one need not wait for time,he has to contact guru and immerse himself in sadhanas.

Bhairava is the dwar paal of our mind.Fear comes from duality and bhairav frees us from all dwandva and makes us fearless.Fear tries to make you look back towards past,bhairav makes you fearless and you starts looking forward in life.

MANTRA POWER AND EFFECTS IN THE AGE OF MODERN SCIENCE

When we chant a mantra,it influences our senses,mind and brain.There exists a material called "Synovial" in our brain. Synovial protects us from shocks and fear. Fear of falling while riding a swing, fear of falling down while looking from extreme heights, feeling of insecurity while flight take off and landing which may create impact on heart or heart attack, are prevented by synovial.

Experiments have shown that chanting Mahakali mantra using sounds like "kraam","kreem","kraum" causes increase in flow of Synovial unexpectedly. So this protects sadhak from fear while doing an intense prayog and he feels energy flow.Same effect is obtained while chanting kavach,mantra and hanuman chalisa. 

All of us have synovial in less or more quantity inside us,but some people have it in high amount.Experiments shows the presence of alpha waves while meditating, in sammohan-vashikaran and it causes thought transmission and door drishti abilities to develop inside the yogi.

Thus there is science behind chanting mantra infront of yantra.Maha mrityunjay mantra increases will power and life energy. Staring at beesa yantra for some time causes brain tissues to relax and shree yantra gives more concentration power.
