4th day of NavRatri — Mother Kushmanda : The Anahata

4th day of #navratri is #mother #Kushmanda … In #vedas “ku” indicates tiny, “ushma” implies energy, and “aand” means seed (egg) … hence mother through her energy seeded the creation of #brahmand — the #universe … out of the #darkness she continues to create a lively , ever expanding universe … darkness is just absence of #light :-)

, it’s a simple realization that the universe within, is what is creating the universe outside … everything = nothing ; light = darkness … mother Kushmanda symbolizes the state of #interiorisation … mother rules #anahata #chakra” and her abode is the center of the #sun :-)

… mother is the #creator, she is the #nurturer … universe is her child … she conceives the #child in her #womb where it’s all dark and then bring the child to the light … her motherly instincts are only to #nurture the child … she always smiles and tries upbringing of the universe (– the child), in a way that universe (– the child) lives for the universe instead of just self … so that origination of light happens successfully thru “ku” of darkness … else cycle keeps on getting repeated and “ku””ushma””anda” keeps on trying and nurturing with smile never leaving her face …

… first 3 days of Navaratri — #Shailaputri (#muladhara ) , #Brahmacharini (#swadhisthana ), #Chandraghanta (#manipura ) focused on the “Manas” , i.e the #moon and today on the 4th day it’s experience and exposure to #sun :-)

… yesterday mother Chandraghanta taught — how to manifest and take charge of our life as a creator. Today mother Kushmanda paints the journey of –

1) what to create and

2) with which energy to create” …

… today is exploration and activation of anahata chakra or heart chakra :-)

… in #sanskrit, anahata means unhurt, unstruck, and unbeaten with balance, calmness, and serenity. A fully functional anahata chakra provides a state of complete acceptance of life with complete surrender and love. We need to go into the darkness within thru mooldhara, swadhistana and manipura to open anahata chakra and experience the emotion of true #love … trust my words there is nothing right or wrong — everything and everyone is just playing its role :-)

… I pray to you mother Kushmanda who is holding a pitcher filled with #celestial #wine, and another #pitcher overflowing with #blood … who is holding the pitchers with her #lotus-like hands; O #devi Kushmanda, o mother — bestow your #auspicious blessings on me — सुरासम्पूर्णकलशं रुधिराप्लुतमेव च दधाना हस्तपद्माभ्यां कूष्माण्डा शुभदास्तु मे ॥
