We look at the paradox of a goddess who represents both the causes of our violent and angry impulses and also the remedy to those same impulses. 

Explore the story of Goddess Durga, who with divine strength and courage, defeats the fearsome demon Mahishasura after a fierce battle. This story of bravery and triumph over evil teaches valuable lessons of courage and justice.

Subconscious Realms Episode 229 - Tantric Pantheon PT9 - The Fierce Demon-Destroying/The Violent & Impetuous One - Chandika/Chandi & Lion-Headed Dakini - Simhamukha. Ladies & Gentlemen, on this Episode of Subconscious Realms we welcome back The Host & Creator of - Threshold Saints Podcast- Jin The Ninja for PT9 of The Tantric Pantheon... Brace yourself & it shall be indeed Wise for you to at very least keep handy spare Underwear or even invest in Adult Diapers, you will most likely Shit your pants after listenin to such Mind-Melting, World Changing Information. "Fierce Demon-Destroying - Chandika/The Violent & Impetuous One - Chandi"; (Sanskrit: “The Fierce”) demon-destroying form of the Hindu goddess Shakti, particularly popular in eastern India. She is known by various names, such as Mahamaya (“Great Magic”) or Abhaya (“She Who Is Without Fear”). Her representation is similar to that of Durga, another form of Shakti. She is shown with either 8 or 10 arms, seated on a lion vehicle. Hundreds of folktales and songs tell of her exploits. She is the central figure of an extensive medieval Bengali literature known as Chandi-mangal, the most famous of which is that of Mukundarama Chakravarti (c. 16th century). The form that Goddess Durga took to annihilate demons Chanda and Munda is unimaginable and it is beyond the capacity of human beings. The net result is that sculptures, idol makers and writers wanted to better what was imagined by the previous generation. Thus we have numerous forms of Goddess Chandika. Symbolically the Goddess Chandika form is that of the Violent Mother Nature, who annihilates her sons, who have strayed from the path of Dharma. It must be noted here that the form that Goddess Durga took to kill Chanda and Munda is also known as Goddess Chamunda. "Lion-Headed Dakini - Simhamukha"; Simhamukha is a supreme dakini in Tibetan Buddhism, who combines anthropomorphic and zoomorphic features. She is an wrathful emanation of Guhya Jnana Dakini (Tib. Sangwa Yeshe Khandroma) and is revered in the Nyingma school as one of Padmasambhava's main teachers. Simhamukha is associated with exorcist rituals that prevent black magic and eliminate harmful effects. The ritual practice includes the use of a kapala and a metal mirror on which dharmodaya (“the source of reality”, symbolically depicted in the shape of a tetrahedron) is painted with red powder, in the center of which is written HUNG, the bija mantra of the wrathful goddesses. The mantra of Simhamukha, AH KA SA MA RA TSA SHA DA RA SA MA RA YA PHAT, is known as “the fierce mantra of fourteen letters that averts all magical attacks” (ngag drag log yige chuzhipa). It can be pronounced in a reverse way during extremely wrathful rituals, and it can also be written on the human body to create the so-called “vajra armor” (dorje gotrab) of the subtle body....

This episode presents the goddess Mahalakshmi in the avatar of Durga. She is a great Warrior Goddess, representing divine anger and lethal energy against evil. The episode stages a world under attack by a form-shifting Mahishasura, an evil demon who uses deception to disarm his opponents, ultimately taking the form of a buffalo demon. He defeats the male gods individually, who fear total annihilation of the forces of good. They team up, combine their individual strengths, and channel it into Goddess Durga. Riding a lion into battle, Goddess Durga captures and slays the buffalo demon, by cutting off his head. She then destroys the inner essence of the demon when it emerges from the buffalo's severed neck, thereby establishing order in the world.

We are formed from the universal cosmic sound. The Vedic seers refer to this Sound as "OM".  This sounds incorporates all sounds. There are trillions of sounds which are endemic to our cosmos that heals. Every cell, memory and tissue is formed from the cosmic sound. Sound Medicine is our natural inner medicine, free and abundantly available in nature. Indeed, sound is central to the very act of creation. Vedic lore tells us that Goddess Durga rode her lion, carried her damaru (a small, double-headed drum whose sound is associated with the element of space), and drummed the world into existence. Sound, as healing force, is a cornerstone of all the great spirit traditions. Consider the idea that life itself emanates from sound, for what is sound but audible breath, the rhythm and melody of the One spirit that dwells within all things? Sound vibration is a manifestation of life energy, and that life energy, or prana, is the basis for self-healing.Listen In~Support the showMay Peace Be Your Journey~www.mayatiwari.comwww.facebook.com/mayatiwariahimsa.Buzzsprout.com

In this auspicious time of Navaratri, (nine nights) we worship the Goddess by recognising her glories. In this recognition we see that we too are pervaded by her Shakti as the embodiment of sacredness. Durga Saptashloki or Devi Saptashloki are seven powerful verses from the Devi Mahatmyam, a set of 700 verses. Out of compassion for those devotees who cannot chant all these verses, Devi has given us only a set of 7 shlokas to chant called Durga Saptashloki. We learn, chant and seek Devi's grace.
