8 SUPPORT-SUPPORTED (contd)

 

1195: She Pervades the Three Spheres

 

She has Spheres Three

Of Fire, Moon and Sun

She is Head of all three together,

She abandons you not

Even if you forget Her;

She is Light within.

 

 

1196: She is the Vine from Visuddha to Sahasrara

 

The Six Adharas lie concealed within,

There with the white Light of Kundalini Fire,

Siva-Sakti, of honeyed flower bedecked tresses,

Stands, intimate mingled;

She is vine from Visuddha ascends

To ambrosia in Sahasrara.

 

 

1197: When Ambrosia Flows

 

When that vine from Visuddha Adhara

Reaches to the Mark the Guru showed,

Ambrosia flows,

That is Form of Siva of anklet-girt Feet,

That is Bliss Divine;

She spreads it over Adharas six,

In order according,

She, the bejewelled One.

 

 

1198: How Yoga Sakti was Seated

 

The bejewelled One, Kundalini

The Gods that are Three

The Shining garland of Adhara six,

The Kalas twice-eight,

The Jnana Sakti in forehead seated,

The Congregation of Manatreswaras,

All arived to praise Her;

Thus She was, the Yoga Sakti, seated.

 

 

1199: Yoga True Path to Mukti

 

Sakti is the Lady of Sadhaka (Yogi)

She is the Mistress of Mukti

This they know not,

And in vain, in other ways,

Their devotion went;

Wretches they are;

Unto a beaten dog,

They scream and wail.

 

 

1200: On Whom She Confers Her Grace

 

Who shall behold the Feet of that Holy One?

To them who seek Her Presence

And constant meditate,

The Lady of cloud-dark tresses

Revealed Her Holy Feet, Lotus-like,

And placing them on their thoughts,

Blessed them with Her Grace.

 

 

1201: Way to Enter Samadhi

 

Hold Her in your thoughts,

Hold Her on your head,

Hold Her in your presence

Hold Her in Muladhara

Hold Her in meditation

Undistracted by worldly thoughts,

Hold Her in the mystic junction in cranium,

And into Samadhi enter.

 

 

1202: In Samadhi, Sakti is in Moon's Sphere

 

She stands as the goal of

Those who in Samadhi enter,

She of the arched brows

Who resides in Si, Va, and rest (of letters Five);

Chant the Mantra in love endearing

As the First of Saktis Nine

She in your Full Moon Sphere,

Ever abides.

 

 

1203: Reach Siva Through Adhara Sakti

 

Ascend Adharas six in order,

Where She resides,

And daily approach Her,

She of fragrant tresses,

You shall in twinkle master the Vedas Four

That within Her concealed stand.

 

 

1204: Conquer Karmas By Devotion to Sakti

 

You shall conquer fruits of your twin Karmas,

If you but with folded hands,

And devotion pure

Think of Her;

Whose Form is tender unto a flower petal

Who is Virgin Eternal, Kundalini,

Whose eyes are painted in dark collyrium

Who is Sweetness Surpassing.

 

 

1205: Worship Sakti and Attain Siva's Attributes

 

Think of Her;

Think of Her time and again;

Train your mind toward Her and reach Her;

Think of Her, deep in heart

Realize Her;

The Only One in this world;

She will make you bide here below for ever

You may attain eight attributes* of Siva too.

 

 

1206: In Loving Constancy Reach Sakti

 

Unto a turtle, withdraw your senses;

Unto a vassal devoted, be in loving constancy;

Chant "Aum"

And meet Her, of shining fragrant tresses

In your heart's Center She as Light stands,

There She stood, bedecked with Flower,

That is Crescent Moon.

 

 

1207: Meet Her Through Sushumna

 

In Her be-bangled hands beautiful,

She holdsh elephant-goad and noose,

She carries ascetic pitcher and conch

She seeks letters twain,

That is the heart of Rudra mantra

She dances in rapture, in Holy Hall of Heart

Meet Her through Sushumna,

Your breath that way coursing.

 

 

1208: All Gods Beseech Her

 

Brahma, Vishnu, Rudra, Mahesa and Sadasiva

All, prayed at Her Feet,

And their respective states attained;

Kama, God of Love, and his brother Sama,

And Sun, Fire and Moon

All, all, besought Her Feet

And on their heads they bore them.

 

 

1209: She Dances as Jnana in Sushumna

 

She wears the crescent moon, the trident, and the skull,

She is slender vine long,

She is immaculate,

She is bejewelled,

She dances through Sushumna Nadi central

As Jnana Luminous,

She, Beginning of universe all.

 

 

1210: Pervasiveness of SivaSakti

 

From end to end of cosmic universe,

Nothing there is but the Bejewelled Lady;

It is all but Sakti and Siva conjoint

As we see (in Her Form),

Pitcher and serpent together.

 

 

1211: Sakti With Siva in Sahasrara

 

He consumed poison

While He let Celestials consume ambrosia;

Their immortal state shall reach you;

The Joys of tapas shall yours be,

Piercing Chakras

She entered unopened flower above,

With Lord, She there sat,

High in Sahasrara.

 

 

1212: Worship Sakti in Yoga Way

 

That their tapas high may wax

They walk from place to place

And soon perish;

There She is in four petalled Muladhara

Stand there and worship on top of Cranium,

She is of Letter Exalted (Aum)

And beauty surpassing possessed.

 

 

1213: Chant Na Ma Si Va

 

The Beauteous One is She,

The Divine Swan (So-Ham) is She;

There She was in Mantra Aum too;l

With those who chant,

Syallble Na-Ma-Si-Va

She, Lady of Niyama,

Constant stood to succour.

 

 

1214: She is Immanent as Kala

 

A crystal statue She is,

Of purest moon's rays,

Of rich pearl's radiance She is,

Of wavy tresses She is,

She immanent stands in Jivas

As Kala pervasive.
