Srim Sakti

 

1378: Srim Sakti is Surrounded by Sixty Saktis

 

The Saktis sixty are seated around Her,

The Virgins eight in concealment around Her,

She bears lotus blossoms in hands both;

The Holy Ones in devotion meditate on Her;

--She the treasure of Mantra Srim.

 

 

1379: Effect of One Year Meditation on Srim in the Chakra

 

If on Srim Sakti the treasure of Chakra

You intensely meditate a year,

The burden of your worldly cares drops,

Your thoughts soar high,

Your heart, Sun's brilliance attains,

--This the message of Chakra True.

 

 

1380: Srim Sakti is in Muladhara

 

The full flower that in Muladhara arose

Blossoms into Light Effulgent

Pervading adharas all

The Red Flame reached the Sphere of Fire.

 

 

1381: Hrim Sakti is Surrounded by Fifty-Six Saktis

 

There in the Sphere of Fire She sat;

There She appears in forms fifty and six;

There She is visioned by Saktis fifty and six;

There She is by Saktis fifty and six surrounded.

 

 

1382: Hrim Sakti's Form

 

As One Light Effulgent She is,

From Jewelled Crown to Feet

Lustrous unto pearls She wears Her Form,

The two pendant hands hold parrot and Jnana Mudra,

The two upraised hands bear noose and goad.

 

 

1383: Effect of Five Years Chanting Hrim Sakti

 

Sever your Pasa's roots,

Adore Her in your heart's recesses,

All evil will leave you;

In five years you shall Siva be.

 

 

1384: Heavenly Light Arises From Hrim in Chakra

 

If on Chakra of the merciful Sakti you meditate,

And if your chant in order done,

The Heavenly light will appear,

In that Chakra of the lordly Sakti

Where Mantra Hrim invoked is.

 

 

1385: Light Within Will Appear

 

The light that arises in the Chakra,

Vision it and on it meditate;

The Sakti as the light within will appear;

Verily is She the support of Sushumna,

Adharas and the rest within.

 

 

1386: Aim Sakti is Seated in Navel Center

 

In the lotus sphere of navel center

In the Kalas that rise

Immanent She is, the Aim Sakti;

Meditate,

And there in Nada you firm shall be

Your birth-cycle its end shall see.

 

 

1387: Aim Sakti is Vageswari

 

She is Queen of Speech,

She is decked in garland of gems pure,

She is Queen of Songs,

She is milk-hued,

She is Queen of Jiva,

There was She seated in Navel Center.

 

 

1388: Aim Sakti's Form

 

Then, of yore, with hands two

She Dharma measured,

Now for nonce She holds

The pitcher white of hermit,

They who reach Her

By the Way to Hall of Dance,

Verily behold

The Primal Cause of all.

 

 

1389: Aim Sakti is Surrounded by Fifty-Two Saktis

 

The Causal Saktis are fifty and two,

The Causal Virgins arr they

She the Primal Causal Sakti of all,

In the Chakra immanent stood;

She the Primal Cause as Grace stood.

 

 

1390: Effect of Aim Sakti Worship for One Year

 

If firm-fixed,

This Sakti in your thoughts stands;

Within a year span,

This Flame shall in you merge;

If steadfast in devotion you stand,

You shall vision the Ruby

That dances in the Hall of Spaces Vast.

 

 

1391: Gaum (Tattva Nayaki) Sakti is Seated in Heart Center (Anahatha)

 

That Sakti you visioned in Heart's lotus

This (Gaum) the Queen of Tattvas all,

This day, She, in my thoughts, is sweet seated

That my life's enemy--Death--destroyed be.

 

 

1392: Gaum Sakti's Form

 

The Sakti that was in my mind seated thus

Appeared with hands eight;

Holding flower, parrot, noose, battle-axe and sword;

The shield, bow and the arrow too--

She danced in rapture divine.

 

 

1393: How Gaum Sakti was Attired

 

In rapture She stood

Wearing crown of gold,

Garland of pearls and corals,

Dressed in richly silks,

The rising breasts in gem-laid corset contained,

There She was in glory,

Her Form green-hued.

 

 

1394: Gaum Sakti is Surrounded by Forty-Eight Saktis and Eight Vestal Virgins

 

This green-hued Lady has serving companions six times eight,

And vestal virgins eight that take up her train,

Her breasts are in corset contained,

Her hands pendant in blessing gesture,

Thus the Sweet One appears,

She of waist slender.

 

 

1395: Perform Kundalini Yoga Before Gaum Sakti

 

The Kundalini Fire in Muladhara resides,

Course your breath to unite in Her in Anahatha

And in devotion true the adhara above ascend,

You shall into the heaven within rise,

That is milky white pure (Solar Sphere).

 

 

1396: Krim Sakti is in Sun's Sphere

 

In the mystic sphere

Between Centers, navel and heart,

Is the Koopa (Krim) Sakti seated;

There in the fiery Sphere of Sun;

Unto the cool waters of a well was She.

 

 

1397: Krim Sakti's Form

 

The Sakti thus seated

Has benignant faces ten;

There in Sun's Sphere She gently appears;

She assumes protecting hands four times five,

And to sunder Pasa holds the Trident.

 

 

1398: Weapons of Krim Sakti

 

The trident, mace, fiery sword, shining drum

The gleaming spear that is Jnana,

The arrow, kettle-drum, parrot, the bow, these one side are;

The bugle, flower, noose, battle-axe, knife, conch,

The pendant hands in protecting gesture the other side are!

--These meditate on.

 

 

1399: She is Surrounded by Forty-Four Saktis

 

Four and Forty are Saktis surrounding Her

Four and Forty Saktis that meditate on Her

She is seated within the lotus

She that transcends thoughts all.

 

 

1400: Krim Sakti as a Girlish Nymph

 

She, that transcended thought all,

Wears the diadem of gold

Her corset is of gems, pearls and corals made,

Her silken dress spreads below Her slender waist

Her Feet hold the anklets

Thus, adorned, as a girlish nymph,

She stood before me.

 

1401: Effect of Worshipping Krim Sakti

 

This Sakti, there, as She stands constant

Anima, Mahima, and the rest of Occult powers arise;

The Pasas that bind the ancient Jiva are sundered;

And the unitive Light of Jnana dawns

In those who realize Her.
