Jaya Guru Datta The following may not provide all you want but is the meaning to one of the bhajans from the beautifully rendered cd "Tripura" by Sri Ganapathi Sachchidananda Swamiji. This album contains contains all the seed letters and complete knowledge of Tripura Rahasaya. Step by step, opening each door of Sri Chakra. It is Devi in all Her magnificence and after years of repeated listening reveals more and more of Her infinite power. Bhajan - Sri Tripuraa Bhaasuraa Raga: Nalinakanti Ashtakona Ð Sarvarogahara Chakra (The Eight sided encirclement of healing all diseases) Refrain: Sri Tripura Devi is brilliant. She is the Mother of all who achieve attainments. May She protect me! She cures the diseases of air, bile and phlem. She resides in the five Koshas (sheaths) of pious people and removes their infatuation. (The five Koshas are Annamaya, Pranamaya, Manomaya, Vijnanamaya and Anandamaya i.e., the sheaths of food, life, mind, knowledge and Bliss. In this encirclement and the next two, the non- difference between the subtle aspects of the human body and the Mother and the way to realize this non-difference is mentioned. In the seventh encirclement, the non-difference between the aspects blending the gross and subtle aspects of the human body and the Mother is described in detail. Stanza 1: In this Chakra, the eight celestials by name Vasini etc., always praise the glories of the Mother singing hymns like Lalita Sahasranama etc. The Mother, who is in the left side of ShivaÕs form resides in the Ashta Kona Chakra i.e. the eight-sided encirclement. She likes humor. Female monks by name Rahasya Yoginis praise Her. May the Mother bless me with the flow of good utterances! Stanza 2: She is the consort of Shiva. Her mudra (gesture) is Sarva Khechara (Sarva is All; Khechara is a spiritual power by which one freely moves in the sky in a subtle form). She is the daughter of the mountain Himalaya. She resides in the Sarvarogahara Chakra, the encirclement of healing of all diseases. The brilliance Her beautiful face excels the shine of the lotus (Nalina means lotus; Kanti is shine. The tune of this song is Nalina Kanti). The Mother radiates the wonderful miraculous brilliance of Sat-Chit-Ananda (Truth- Knowledge-Bliss) Sri Guru Datta In Datta Seva Hanuman ------------------------ Yahoo!
