(00:02) What is the importance of kamaka in the world of das mahavitya? >> That is the central point of everything that shaki represents. >> How tantrically das mahavya uh represents the shi >> because tantra itself has two elements shiva and shaki. >> How is das mahavidya different from the study of tantra? So the das mahavya is a part of tantra.
(00:29) >> No matter what the flow is, it'll always need to begin with maali. Why? >> Because she's kal herself. >> Mhm. >> Khal is s. >> Mhm. >> Does every mahavidya have a pair of >> except madumi. >> Each mahavidya has their own yantra even >> their own yantra, their own mantra and their own tantra. Machamastika.
(00:58) What is that image? >> Prchand. >> Mhm. >> Most prach means most ferocious. >> So Ma Kali then being central to the Das Mahavidyas. Kali represents endings and we say endings are beginnings. >> Dharm kanach >> Krishna will come >> and similarly Kali will come. So I believe that Krishna and Kali are the same.
(01:20) Hello and welcome to the Academy of Tantra podcast. Once again my name is Mantra. Today we speak about the very very powerful Das Mahavya and who better to talk about it but Dr. Manitkumar herself who has been speaking about Das Mahavidya on multiple platforms. But today once again as this is the Academy of Tantra podcast we'll look into it very scientifically and try to figure out who are these 10 deities and what do they represent.
(01:50) Welcome to your own podcast ma'am. >> Thank you. >> First of all you have spoken of Das Mahavya many a times before we began this podcast. I uh spoke to you about how tantrically thus mahavya uh represents the shi but you very uh quickly mentioned that these are two different subjects. How is thus mahavya different from the study of tantra? Do they have some sort of a lineage amongst each other? >> So the das mahavidya is a part of tantra because tantra itself has two elements shiva and shaky.
(02:25) >> Yes. And in the shaki element there are dudas mahabavidyas who represent the ugra form of the dity. >> These are so important in today's time because the way the world is going towards you know we are headed towards some people say vinach some people say we are headed towards a world war or maybe say that we are already in the middle of the world war >> at this point in time and you know that there could be no war without shaki.
(02:53) >> Mhm. Mhm. >> So at this point in time it's so much more important to learn and understand and absorb the das mahavidyas because each and every person on this planet has shaky. So if you're breathing right now that's shaky. If you're thinking thought is shy. Awareness is shy. The digestive fire in your stomach right now is shy.
(03:14) So while you're nodding your head that's shaky. So everything is shy. So we are already the embodiment of shy. >> Mhm. Having said that, we are not taught to relate to the Mahavyas because we are told that they are uh scary and they are not in our league. >> But to say that the Das Mahavidyas and Tantra are linked would be absolutely correct.
(03:40) >> Ma'am, tell me about when you speak of Shaki and you speak of the two different aspects of Tantra, the Shyites and the Shaktas. Shyaites of course the ones who follow the path of Shiva and Shakta is where they follow the path of Shaki the Dvi. Thus Mahavya falls into the Shakta uh lineage. >> Yes it does.
(04:06) But even the uh sherism has a part of Shaki. There can be no no sect no part of the world that does not have shy. Shaki itself is has created the world. So like I said even our breath >> is shaky. Our thoughts are Shaki. Mhm. >> So it the study of shi would come under the study of cosmic intelligence. >> Very well said ma'am. Cosmic intelligence is what we are looking for at this point of time.
(04:31) Let's break it down. Thus maha vidya. Thus of course means the 10. Maha means the greater one. Vidyas are the mantras or are the knowledge >> the knowledge that one is associating this with. And uh the ugraform when you speak of the ugraform ugraforms means the ferocious one. >> Yeah. >> How did that how did it all begin? When and how did these 10 ugforms come into being? So one of the tales around this is that when ma parvati u ma sati actually wanted to go to her father >> yes >> uh dak praapati's um ceremony the havan that he was doing
(05:10) >> she told her husband who was lord shiva that uh I would like to go there and he said we are not invited >> so why do you want to go there she said no but I still want to go there and she insisted >> and they say that Shiva was continuously telling her not to >> Mhm. Mhm. >> And being Shy herself, she got so angry >> that she the 10 mahavyas, the 10 forms of Shaki came out of her >> and they blocked Shiva's direction to go out.
(05:43) They say that you know there are 10 directions >> and all those 10 directions were blocked by the Das Mahavidyas. >> Mhm. And in another uh in another story they say that Maali came out of the third eye of Ma Parvati. >> So Ma Parvati once went and told Lord Shiva um she complained about an assur and she said you know I'm so tired of >> uh this happening all the time and he said yes but uh I'm also tired of your coming to me all the time.
(06:15) So why don't you look at uh you know doing something about it yourself and she said what can I do and he said well you are the shaky so how can you say what can I do >> and then they say that you know maali came out of a third eye and all the other deities >> came after that >> so maali then being central to the das mahavidyas >> and when we say mahavidyas uh I also have a downloaded thought and a you know and my guidance that when we say maha which means great and vidyas means knowledge >> then why is it just not vidya why is it
(06:51) mahavidya >> so the way I look at it is that the vidyas are just not theoretical >> you know we read about the mahavidyas we say oh you know cream mantra is ma kali's mantra this is just theory and understanding mahavidyas means that you are embibing that content that you are also being the dvi in different stage stages of your life.
(07:15) >> So from that perspective I would say that the mahavyas >> are shy in motion and something that is going to save us from the kalyoga. >> Mhm. Shaky in motion. How scientifically explained and everything that is in motion continues to move until stopped. At this point of time the flow of shi around the globe is fierce.
(07:42) We can see that it is causing all sort of disruptions. >> Can one ever of course it is impossible to control shy but can one ever contain it in a way through practice that you'd be able to be aligned with the shi >> that's tantra. >> So that's the alignment of the shi the direction of it >> the containing of it at one end and the flow of it. So it's like water.
(08:09) >> You build a dam and then you flow it in the direction that you want to flow it. >> Well said ma'am. When it comes to the Das Mahavidyas, the conversation needs to begin with Kamakya. >> You've mentioned of Kamakya so many times uh Kamakya which is in uh Gojhati in Assam >> seems to be the center point for Shaki in India.
(08:35) Am I right? >> That is absolutely right. not just in India in the world. >> How and what what is the importance of kamaka in the world of Das Mahavitya? uh kamak is the central point of uh the divine feminine and that is the central point of everything that Shaki represents because they say that when Sati died Lord Vishnu cut her body into many pieces >> and her yuni >> fell in Kamakya and Yuni is the seat of birth.
(09:08) >> So Shaki is birthed from Kamakya constantly. Think of it like a fountain. >> There's a constant stream of shaky that is you know then going into the whole world and then coming back again. >> So it's quite like the you know like the water cycle >> and that is the seat of of everything that represents Shrui.
(09:29) >> So if you go to Gojhati you will notice that near the Makamakya temple there are the temples of all the Das Mahavyas. >> Mhm. And therefore it shows that all the das mahavidyas come out of the central point called kamaka. >> Mhm. >> That is the you know the essence the ba >> of shi. >> Speaking of ma kamaka and how it all begins from there.
(09:54) Every time we mention das mahavidya the first one will have to be your dvi and mine and the leader of her all mali. Absolutely. How how does it begin always with Mali? Is there um is there a hierarchy? Is there a certain flow? And no matter what the flow is, it'll always need to begin with Mali. Why? >> So Mali is the the first and the most powerful >> deity. Why? Because she's Khal herself.
(10:25) >> Mhm. >> Khal is Sam. >> Mhm. >> And that is infinite. >> So if you even see her color, it's black. >> Mhm. And it says that you know she absorbs everything inside of her >> because she controls time or kal she is the first >> dity >> and from her they say that the other daties come >> so if you look at it from the lifespan of an individual kali represents birth >> she represents transformation so you've transformed yourself into somebody and if you look at a life cycle of a person It says that this is you know the
(11:04) beginning because Kali represents endings and we say endings are beginnings. >> So she itself you know she herself is the ending as well as the beginning and that is why she controls Khal. >> Mhm. And that is where the word Kali came from. Absolutely. >> A lot of people unfortunately mistake it for the color black or dark but it is not kala kali. It is kal kali.
(11:28) >> Yeah. And she's the gamb. Mhm. >> So the whole the whole sky >> is her are her adornments her clothes. >> Oh, it's beautiful. >> So people want to say you know why and uh the most beautiful thing about Kali >> is that she doesn't care about she's so powerful. >> Yes. >> That it couldn't matter you know the the white and the black.
(11:55) It couldn't matter her you know disabled hair, the matted locks. It couldn't matter. So what does she show? She shows us that listen, judgment means nothing. >> Because she's scaly, she absorbs everything. >> How is such a such a deity uh who is reverred feared also by most feared >> more feared by anybody has a gentler side too.
(12:22) She's considered as the mother. >> Mother. Yeah. So everyone so that shows that you know everyone has a lot of aspects and she has the divine feminine aspect which is the mother. So I believe that the base is the mother >> and she projects herself to save her children to save the world to save the world from >> adher. >> So in that sense she's also like Krishna >> so whenever there is dharm kanach >> Krishna will come >> and similarly kali will come.
(12:52) So I believe that Krishna and Kali are the same. >> Oh well said and we've spoken about that in the past also. Um Dr. Manm tell me more about u how does one approach when it comes to do a siddhi of mali are there specific mantras uh how do you know that you have to uh uh follow her path and if she is your deity of the mahavya.
(13:18) >> So all of us come to this earth with a pre-birth plan. Mhm. >> We've decided what lessons are we going to learn in this lifetime and what are the karmic >> uh closures we need to have. So let's say you meet 10 people in this life. Three of who are people you have karma with from a previous life >> and so you're very clear that these are the people who I need to give back and the seven are these lessons.
(13:40) These are opportunities. These are so a pre-birth plan is very well defined before we take birth. When we talk of Maali, Maali helps us in understanding and transcending these these plans these opportunities. >> When you say Siddhiddhi of Maali, >> Siddhiddhi of Maali is >> of or of any Mahavya is not a very simple thing and I believe it cannot be attained in one lifetime.
(14:08) >> Yeah, >> you have to take lifetimes after lifetimes. >> Siddhi is a is almost like mosh. M >> it's one of the highest points of devotion >> and for that you have to start from the base. You're cleansing, you're concentrating, you're methodically chanting the mantras, uh the grace of the guru, the grace of the deity.
(14:32) >> Once all of this happens, you are entered into the classroom. >> Mhm. Mhm. >> You don't get into the classroom and look for all this. >> You first do the pre-work. >> Mhm. You know, so it all starts from a process called bhudi. >> Mhm. >> Bhudi is a process where you cleanse not just your body but your tongue, your um wani, your vocabulary, the way you talk, the way you are, the way you think.
(15:00) >> The way you think is very important. True. People just approach mantras by saying that okay, you know the the mantra of Maali is XY Z and let's just get started. We can sit on a mat. They just light the lamp and they start with the mala. No, >> not the right way. >> You cannot approach it like that. >> You simply cannot.
(15:18) You cannot go into a school where you've not even done class one. You cannot go and sit in class 5 where you just may sit. No one's going to pay any attention to you and you're not ever going to get a question paper or a report card that you passed class 5. >> You're just wasting your time. >> Exactly.
(15:33) So even if you know you are accepted, >> it's of no value. There's a separate world that's going on. You're you're not a part of that world. So bhudi the initiation the guru shisha parumpara >> mhm mhm >> and you know something very basic let me just tell you on this podcast people are not ready to even change their food habits. >> Mhm.
(15:53) You tell them please become satic we can't >> can we not have um or you tell them that become vegan we can can we not have chai can we not have paneer can we not have curd how much can we have can we have a little bit >> so unless you start the journey of any siddhi starts from victory over food >> true that true that >> if you're not able to leave food forget leaving anything else it's basic >> or if you don't have mastery over your breath >> so all of has to go through a process.
(16:22) So that's on the >> Siddhi. >> How to know which Mahavya is calling us. >> Yes. >> So when we come to this world with a pre-birth plan, we also have a deity associated. >> True. >> Let's say somebody's plan is transformation. >> That person may be born under what we call Gandmul. >> Okay. >> Okay. Which we say >> Gund.
(16:48) So that means that that person has been born under tough stars and their deity may be >> Kali. >> Okay. >> Which means that they are going to have sudden experiences, transformative experiences and what is transformation? Something ending and something beginning. >> So people who find themselves in loops of continuous endings, betrayals, relationship issues, um whatever they want ends >> and they have to restart their life.
(17:14) Can one gauge by their own life cycle by their own experiences which deity is he or she associated with and must have been many a lifetimes before that the that the practice must have taken place and this is just a carry forward. >> Yes. So most of the daties have you know people can understand um but it would be premature to say that if we if we associate one word with every daty >> uh but let me just tell you you know what those words are and what those daties represent.
(17:49) But I would still tell people to go to somebody who can read their chart >> and tell them that and confirm perhaps that this is the dity for you. Sure. >> And um every dity also governs a certain planet and every planet also governs a certain lesson. >> For example, Mercury as a planet denotes communication. >> True. >> And the lesson for such people whose um >> dity is associated with communication is to be to feel safe >> in communication.
(18:19) These kind of people will have thyroid issues, throat issues, >> cervical issues, all the throat chakra issues basically because they need to be learning this lesson. Like for example, Ma Ali is associated with the root chakra. >> Okay? >> Primal fear >> because she says fearlessness >> over everything else. >> So when we talk about fear, we are talking of the muladhar chakra.
(18:39) M >> so every deity is connected with a planet is connected with a chakra and is connected with an emotion and is connected with a life lesson and a life stage. >> For example, Tripur Sundari who is also called Shashi is depicted to be a 16year-old girl. >> Yeah. >> So she as Shashi talks about the solala paripur. Mhm.
(19:08) So when we talk of shishi we are talking of a girl who's bala >> who's a young child who's a 16year-old talk about dhumati ma dhumavati represents a stage where a woman is not accepted by the society >> where she doesn't have a bava >> she's almost ostracized >> right so she denotes >> in a woman's life perhaps the stage of menopause >> perhaps the stage stage of being a widow >> perhaps the stage of grief and it doesn't mean you actually have to be a widow you could be a married person who feels like a widow >> so everything is at the energetic level
(19:48) a lot of people say you know don't go to the madhumawati temple >> why because if you go as a married woman you lose your husband because she's shown as a widow >> but again this is a complete superstition you know >> so that's how it works >> very well said ma'am when you spoke about mali and how the purpose of her being your mahavidya is to be able to tell you which are the carry forward karmic connections and which are the new ones that have been presented to you.
(20:19) >> Um moving forward to matara >> and uh for some reason why I've had a personal inclination towards matara on multiple levels. So I'm very very interested in knowing how does this progress and also matara is represented in both the cultures in Hinduism in sanatan and also in Buddhism. >> How is matara represented? How does one do a siddhi of matara and what does she do for you in your life if you are associated with her? >> So matara is supposed to be the deity of compassion.
(20:56) >> She's also very fierce looking. Mhm. >> Mali is Mali for example governs the planet Saturn Shani >> and today is a Saturday. >> So I just keep thinking that it's Mali's day. >> Matara is represents guru >> brahespati. >> And she is supposed to be the mother and the guru of Shiva. >> Wow. >> And at the time that Lord Shiva had swallowed halahal >> and he had contained it at his thereby calling him Neil Kant.
(21:28) uh and and it was becoming extremely difficult for him to hold the poison. >> Uh and there was nothing that could have you know helped him. Maparvati kept putting you know she got all the sandalwood forests cut and she kept putting the sandalwood for the you know poison to cool down but that didn't happen.
(21:47) So then she took on the form of matara and she made Shiva into a small baby >> and she actually fed him. >> Mhm. >> And with that shi with that milk his whole poison was you know she she took it upon herself she extracted the poison. >> So therefore she's called the mother of Shiva. She's also called the dity who saved Shiva.
(22:10) So again it's a Shiva combination. >> Now this is the Tara that we know. This is the Maara uh that is you know followed in Sanatan. >> Uh Matara's uh temple is Tarapit. >> Mhm. >> As we all know and you know she is worshiped in a Shamshan in a cremation ground. >> It is said that um Ma Tara's siddhi happens through Wamar. >> Mhm. >> And therefore many people uh do not go to Tarapit as such.
(22:43) >> Mhm. But the interesting part is and she has a blue complexion where Kali has a black complexion. >> Yeah. >> And she has you know uh the similar kind of a pot belly and her laugh is far more scarier than Ma Kali's. >> Mhm. >> And Raan had done her Siddhi before um entering the war. >> Mhm. >> And she had no choice but to give him the Siddhi.
(23:10) The only condition she had was that if you go against Dharm, I will pull off my protection from you. >> Mhm. >> And he said okay fine I'll do it. And you do know that when he had uh taken out the brahastra >> at that point in time uh the sun had set. >> The moment the sun sets, you cannot continue the war. >> Y >> but he had no choice because he had the brahmastra in his hand.
(23:35) But the moment he did that, you know, he he pulled the arrow. Matara went, she said, "This is against the Dharma. I told you, you will not receive my protection." And the moment that happened, his chariot fell from the heavens onto the earth. >> My why. >> So, Matara, that's that's how powerful she is.
(23:58) In the Buddhist circle, >> uh, Tara is a very important deity. I'd gone to Bhutan last year like I told you and I went to the White Tara temple. >> I cannot tell you how beautiful it is. >> Wow. >> Simply stunning and so powerful. >> So ancient and so powerful. >> So you have the white Tara, >> you have the red tara, >> you have the green tara >> and you have the green tara mantra omare to sa >> which is by far the most potent mantra of tara.
(24:29) I have personally had in my life multiple victories with it. I had once uh spoken about it in one of the podcasts and I cannot tell you till today people write to me about the victories they've had with this mantra. >> Wow. >> So if you have not had any um exposure to this mantra I suggest that you start with this. It requires no ritual.
(24:49) It requires no fear. It requires no candle. You sit and you chant 108 times. There's a very beautiful uh rendition on YouTube also of this mantra >> but it is one of the most powerful mantra. >> Wow. Thank you so much for actually uh clearing out the air about how many different um cultures follow uh Matara and what you mentioned about it being in Buddhism and also being in Hinduism as well.
(25:21) Uh moving forward uh you we spoke of Matapur Sundari uh and again fascinating. Yeah, I'm very fascinating and of course once again me and my love and fascination for the number three and Tripurundi having the might of the three worlds is that how the name came about. What is Matri Sunduri all about? >> So they say that uh she is the goddess of the three worlds >> and she um Tripur Sundari.
(25:49) So Tripur is the three cities but it actually represents three energetic states >> and she is shown to be like I said a 16 year old girl >> and she's also called Balatripur Sundari >> and uh here we say that Ma is playing with stones but actually the stones that she's playing with are our nine planets. >> So she's just playing with them.
(26:12) She's also called Laala >> and therefore the Lalita >> Sahastraamam >> is one of the most potent texts of Shaki. So when we talk of Tripur Sundari she is she governs the planet Mercury. >> Mhm. And therefore the speech >> uh is what you know comes out and she >> I cannot even begin to tell you I think this podcast will fall short uh of her mahima because she is >> just somebody else.
(26:47) She has so many forms >> that when you talk about her it just is so you know when you talk about even the Lalita the thousand names >> of Mahalita you are talking of Matri Sundari. >> Wow. And uh you know her various temples wherever they are in India they are one of the most reward temples for shaken >> so she represents beauty grace wealth everything she is the supreme Raj Rajeshwari.
(27:18) >> Mhm. Mhm. Moving forward after Matripur Sundari let's talk about Mahabhari and let's also talk about the Bharav which we've uh right at the beginning of our conversation we spoke about about how the balance needs to be maintained does every Mahavya have a >> except Madumawati >> except Madumawati of course uh but let's begin with Mahabharvi >> Mahabhi is all about discipline Mahabhari is all about um your own clan your own tribe going back to the roots >> she says that if there is no discipline there is nothing. So whenever people
(27:54) fall off the bandwagon whenever they feel that you know they are being lazy procrastinating when they are not sure of what is happening that is the time that one calls Mahabhari. >> Mhm. >> And uh Khal Behav is the consort >> of Mahabhi and again Mahabhi is depicted to be uh fierce. She's depicted to be >> um a hard taskmaster.
(28:20) >> Mhm. So routine, discipline these are the you know cornerstones of Mahabhari and again her her yantra is also downward facing just like Ma Kali >> and these deities connect us to the energy of the earth. >> And they say that you know this is the most powerful way to to be. Mhm. >> So Mahabhari has a very special place in my heart because when we talk of Khal Bhara, when we talk of Mahabhari as a team, they represent one of the most potent combinations of Shivan Shaki.
(28:54) >> Wow. Ma'am, jumping back up actually when except Mahadumawati, everyone has a yes. >> Makali of course has Mahakali. >> Mahakal himself. Matara >> Ashkobo I don't know every time I teach the das mahabidya and we come to ashob and his mantra my whole body is vibrating I mean if you put a camera on it I cannot there is something about akshobia that that shakes my existence >> is he also a form of shiva himself >> all the bhavas are forms of shiva >> shiva and all the forms of ma maha are the forms of shi
(29:39) >> and they have to balance each other. >> So see balance is the um backbone of the universe. >> Anything that is not in balance nature will run and try to balance it out. >> So every time you know an animal dies two or three animals are being born. >> So it's a cycle. >> It's actually a cycle. Ako, >> a ber >> I'd love to see a bera.
(30:12) Oh, what a beautiful image. >> Very very powerful. Lot of people who are listening to this please tell me if you have done the sadha of akshobia bhara and what has been your >> um very fierce what has been your experience and as far as um matriurs is concerned herav is kameshwarav kamehwar >> yes >> kameeshwar again a form of lord shiv forms of lord sha >> kameshwarav I'm just excited to see their how they are represented. Oh, it's beautiful.
(30:53) It's almost has a shakish form to it. >> Yes. >> But and all the beavs have dogs around with them. That's why dogs are considered to be >> the vehicle. >> Wow. Yes. >> Does it have to do anything to do with uh kamukta or does it have anything to do with kam? No. >> No. Kamshwar. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, it does. >> It does.
(31:18) >> With Kamdev, you're right. >> Wow. I mean, I saw the sensitivity in and the beauty in it. It's always I'd love to talk about >> because Maturundi repres >> They're the most beautiful couple. >> The most beautiful. Yes. The most beautiful. >> Behav. And you mentioned Khal Behav of course.
(31:41) Uh and he's very he's revered and so is Behavi. Their combination. Um so people who and especially people who are doing das mahavidya and they want to do siddhi of bhvi what is your suggestions to them? How does it how does one approach her? >> All the siddhis of the das mahavidya have the same uh sequence. They have their own mantras they have their own yantras.
(32:04) They have their own energetic combination. So how I teach siddhi is definitely that bhudi is a very important part of things. Yes. >> And then the energetic connection with the dity. Yes, >> you cannot just chant a mantra. You have to go into a pre siddhi container if you may >> and you have to first understand the energetic form of ma >> and each mahavya has their own yantra even >> their own yantra their own mantra and their own tantra >> that's what we were discussing about how mantra yantra and tantra come in a combination yantra might be the vehicle
(32:39) that they are using to actually travel mantra is the fuel tool that is going to make them travel and tantra is the technology through which they travel. Well said ma'am. U next Mahabheshwari. >> Ma Bhneshwari rules the planet moon or Chandra. >> She is the queen of space. >> Mhm. >> So Bhwan is the earth or Bhwan can also be the galaxy or Bhan can also be the super galaxy.
(33:07) >> Yes. >> She is above time and space. Mhm. >> So that's why she's called >> bhaneshwari >> above time and space. >> So if you want space in your life, if you want expansion in your life, >> if you want dil >> then mahabhu. >> So expansion, she helps in expansion. If you're contained within some place and you want to grow and expand, this is where you need to come to the triamb.
(33:37) Ah >> yes >> triambak something from tribakkeshwari even the one who is woripped in nasi >> yes >> oh wow it's beautiful next mahavya ma blamuki oh very popular >> very popular very famous >> why how is it so >> you know why because most people are dealing with competition competitor shhatru >> and so in their basic imagination they think that if we go to the temple of mahaglamuki our court cases are going to get solved or whatever we have done.
(34:11) So what happens is when when I went to ma blamuki I was thinking that ma here is one party who is sitting saying you know kill the other party here is the other party praying that kill this party and here's a lawyer who's also come to you who's handling the case now who is she going to um sort of grant the wish to >> yes that what a tough situation to be in >> isn't it so she says that our own shatu Our own enemy is not an external person.
(34:44) It is our own ego. It is our own mind. And you know she's shown uh to have a dagger and slaying the tongue of a assur. >> But the tongue doesn't represent an assur. The tongue represents our own verbosity, our own thoughts, our own, you know, the mind getting away with things. >> Um where we are speaking in unnecessary situations.
(35:09) >> Mhm. Mhm. When we are speaking negative about ourselves >> and therefore pushing our manifestation away >> all of those things are the stumb >> that stop >> the stop >> paralyzed. >> Mhm. >> So you know I just feel that chanting to ma is actually putting a CCTV camera on yourself. Every time you do something she's you you'll hear her saying stop do it do it for 90 days and say that ma give me make my awareness super sharp because I'm my own enemy.
(35:43) >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Today I'm saying I'm not going to eat this. I'm not going to drink this. And after 10 days into my comfort zone when I fall I'm like I'm going to eat this. And then you'll hear her saying stop. >> You will hear her saying stop. It's an open challenge to everybody. do the blamuki sadna and see you will start hearing her you'll become clear audient >> I need her we all need her in in life >> the discipline she is the >> absolutely >> she's a deity of discipline even >> yes >> and also helps you I mean when you
(36:14) mention court cases she it is people seek her blessings to go across the toughest times of their lives >> virat kohi goes so many people go and it's shown so people are now very attracted. They think that if he goes there and if if he wins all the matches, we should also go there. >> Oh, has he done it? >> Yes. Yes, absolutely.
(36:35) >> That he was he was a he he's quite regularly visits Vindavan for sure. >> Also, >> what a transformation for him even. What do you think about that? A man who 10 years back, 15 years back clearly on camera turned around and said and here is a man who all of us worship in fact is now become such a devoted man.
(36:58) >> The path chooses you. >> Yeah. And I think post marriage for sure with with Anushka entering his life. So the >> and Steve Jobs >> Yeah. >> Steve Jobs he went to all these places. >> Yes, he did. including Nim Karodi Baba >> and that's how these places came into you know sort of more um one can say >> recognition it came Yep.
(37:22) True, true, true. >> And so everyone wants to go. >> Yeah. >> But the point is whether you are famous or not, >> are you able to connect >> to the energetic form of the day? >> There you go. Absolutely. >> That is so much more important than anything else. >> That's so true. Moving forward, Maumawati and uh >> one of my favorites.
(37:42) >> Yes. And clearly there is a sense of connect from the lonely heart which I feel uh with her um the old one the one who is in her last pair I mean in a human form that would be the last phase in any woman's uh life uh by herself >> no jewelry >> but so it's not just um I won't say that it's the last stage of life.
(38:13) I would say it's the last stage of a particular stage. For example, someone loses their Yeah. Someone loses their husband or their wife. They are in grief. But that doesn't mean that's the end of their life. >> Mhm. >> So the lonely heart is the right thing. But you know what? Madumabati represents the planet Ketu. >> Mhm.
(38:32) >> Ketu is the seat of philosophy. If your Ketu is not good, you cannot be an adhan in philosophy. cannot >> you cannot be reading understanding connecting with these concepts. >> All the people who are watching this you me included our ketus are very good >> very very strong. So ma dhumawati says because there is dhuma >> which is smoke >> and ketu also is represented by that element.
(39:01) So when we say dhumawati we are saying that no matter if the world has u you know renounced you no matter if you don't have a husband no matter if you're lonely you're sad you're dejected you have been shunned by the society >> you know there's so many people into drugs who are shunned by the society there are so many people who have mental health issues there are so many people who have skin issues and they are just judged and ostracized by the society >> maabati says turn this into a strength.
(39:30) She's the queen of knowledge. >> Mhm. >> There's no other Mahava who's as knowledgeable. She is actually carrying this entire knowledge. >> So if you pray to Madhumavati, occult sciences will become your thing. >> Is she also I mean I know that they are all forms of shi and they all come from Parvati, Sati, Dura.
(39:54) There is an element of saraspati in her even >> no that is santric saraswati is ma matangi >> matangi >> there is a form of laxshmi also in one of the >> the last one >> the tas mahavyas wow this is beautiful how we are being able to see the multiple facets of one energy >> absolutely >> one need and this needs to be clarified to a lot of people who do not follow sanatan who do not understand the Hindu philosophy that who are we talking about are we talking about one woman >> then how are they 10 different women >> but uh how do you clarify to somebody
(40:29) who does not follow sanatan or Hinduism how are we what are we talking about the multiple representations of one person or energy >> multiple representations of energy >> who is seen in the form of a person because the human mind cannot fathom the concept of energy if I have to tell you that uh describe lightning you still can because we see that thrishul like thing >> but if I tell you to uh describe thunder you cannot >> you'll just say oh I heard it because you have to relate it to one of your senses >> so the human mind can only see in three
(41:09) dimensions so if I say apple we all are imagining an apple which is like this shape and is red in color because that's how we know apple >> but all the energetic forms all the daties all the davis all the dvatas are frequencies >> but we have given them faces and shapes so that we can relate to them. >> How beautifully explained doctor? No wonder no wonder you run the academy of tantra.
(41:35) This is exactly what one needs to know especially if one is coming towards learning this not as an only as an esoteric science but also as a way of life. So very well explained ma'am. Um machan namasta >> the most ferocious. What is that image? What is happening over here? >> She is she is um prachand. >> Mhm. >> Most prachand means most ferocious.
(42:03) Right. So they say that Ma Parvati was one day roaming around with Jaya and Vijaya who were her friends and they were going and suddenly Jay and Vijaya said we are very hungry. >> Mhm. >> And Ma Parvati being Anapura. >> Mhm. um said, "Okay, just give me a few minutes and I'll figure out something." They kept walking.
(42:25) They kept walking and you know these are all very ugly. We told you we very hungry. So she took a fingernail of hers and she slit her throat and she held it in one hand and from it flew three >> streams of blood. >> Streams of blood. And these are denoted in yog or in the human body as three of our narisa, bingla and sushumna. So one stream went into one's mouth the second one and she fed on the third stream herself.
(43:05) >> And then she is seen with her foot on a culating couple which is Kam D and Rati. >> Yes. >> Sitting on a lotus. >> Mhm. So she is basically suppressing or saying no to population. Why? Because she's saying be self sustaining. You don't need anybody else. And she also represents supreme sacrifice >> because she just slit herself and fed uh her friends.
(43:41) So when you talk about chinamastika and she's prchand, she's the most prunded. I do not recommend that people pray to machinamastika without initiation without a strong and clear initiation >> because that energy cannot be handled by everybody. >> Yes. Can clearly we're just just looking at this image itself. >> Yes. Amazing. >> Can shake people's core.
(44:02) >> Absolutely. But people don't know and they just say that you know we must we must. She represents the planet Rahu. >> You know why? Because Rahu also has his head cut off. >> Head cut off. Yes. She also has. So when people have the Rahu Mahadasha going on a lot of people go to the Chinamasta temple inhar.
(44:20) >> Mhm. Wow. Is that a beer? >> Yes. Tabandov. >> Wow. Wow. And u machinastika always has created quite a stir in tantra practitioners and people who are reading dasya. But they don't have to be scared do they? >> Of course they have to be scared. They should be they better be scared. >> This is this is somewhere where I'm saying be scared to be safe.
(44:50) >> Mhm. >> That's who she is. >> So, uh, enter with care. >> You need to know what you're getting into. >> Don't enter. Unless your guru says enter, do not enter. This is a door that says do not enter. Know about her, understand her, connect to her energy, bow down to her. That is it. Unless you have done a lot of siddhis, you do not enter this store.
(45:13) And the one who has done so, what can she do for him or her? >> What is to be done? No. Thus, no mahidya should be approached with a human desire. >> No, of course, not with like for example, what does one seek in in machinastika. >> In every mahavidya you seek liberation. >> Mhm. >> The joining of the atma with the paramatma.
(45:35) >> That should be the ultimate goal. >> That is the ultimate goal. >> That is the ultimate goal. Well said. Well said. Moving forward, Mahhatangi we you we you've mentioned her many a times. She is >> she's the Neil Saraswati >> the Neil Saraswati >> the tantric form of Saraswati >> and she is the bearer of all the talents and all the gifts that an artist wants.
(45:58) >> Mhm. So speaking, singing all the musical instruments, >> um knowledge, she was born from the jutan or the leftover food of uh the dvatas. >> Uhhuh. >> And she was it was I mean that food the morsel was so powerful that she you know became a dvi from that. Um and the whole point of Mahatangi is that she's said to be a Davyi of the people who are schedule casts >> because she doesn't belong.
(46:35) >> Uhhuh. Uhhuh. >> Um and her color is also blue and she's represented with a very beautiful parrot. >> I am quite quite fascinated with her >> and she also represents knowledge. So while Saraswati represents the right hand mark of knowledge. Yes. uh this is the left hand mark of knowledge. So again from tantra or the knowledge of tantra if one seeks that one should take blessings of hers isn't it >> mama thanki >> w lastly but definitely never the least and it goes by the numbers uh kamalat mika where does this journey end and how
(47:11) does it end with her >> it ends with abundance because she's actually I won't even say she's abundance that's my lakshmi she's beyond abundance >> she's she is another form of my lakshmi >> of shri Yes. And there's quite a debate whether her behav is Shiva because she's a form of Malakmi or is it a form of Narayan? >> Yes.
(47:29) >> So a lot of people say it's a form of Narin. A lot of people say it's a form of Shiva because she's still part of Shaki. >> Um she is represented by two elephants who are you know putting water on her >> and abundance in every form. Now I think that you know a lot of people who want to approach the Mahavidyas approach it from a sense of trying to have more money more power more >> I would not ask people to go after the Mahavidyas in that case I would tell people to stick to the original >> gods in case that's what they want. So,
(48:04) Ma Tamlat Mika doesn't only talk about wealth and you know prosperity. She also talks about she also represents um a person who has reached a state of nirvana >> who has reached a stage of fulfillment. M >> so that's kamlat mika it's very fulfilling in its own self >> that I'm satiated I have seen it all done it all been there done that ma now take me >> once you've gone through uh the
(48:49) >> heaven and hell >> once you've gone through the heaven and hell once you've gone through the the commercial achievements, careers, >> family, >> everything. Once you're done with it, if you still seek the commercial success, money, career, family, you still have your gods to worship. But when you come to Das Mahavya, you've taken the leap.
(49:14) You've gone a step further. >> Absolutely. >> And as you clearly said, uh, what is there to achieve? >> What is there to achieve? After one point of time once you're done with this the only next step would be to become one. >> Absolutely. >> And if the mother accepts you and makes you a part of your of her being I think that is the biggest achievement one can ever get.
(49:36) >> Absolutely. And at the same time we must also remember the second part that we are already a part of her. >> Well said. >> So if you are already a part of her then what more is left? >> True. True. >> So we are going through C. So the precursor to ma kamlatmika is ma matangi. >> Yes. >> So knowledge is going to take you towards the ultimate sitting.
(49:57) >> No wonder this these are in the line the way they're supposed to be. >> There's a there's a >> um once the sadha continues to do do so and enters this particular world. >> How does one identify that their sadna has been accepted? Is there a way to do so? Does ma give a sign? many signs at different stages.
(50:20) When a child enters class one and has to go till class 10th, >> what is the first thing that comes to your mind? That he'll give an exam, he'll pass and go into the next class. >> That's how our life is. >> Every time life presents us with an exam instead of crying about it, >> we need to understand what is the stage of that >> exam, >> we pass it and we move on to the next level. Mhm.
(50:42) >> So that's how this whole stage works. >> Mhm. >> How will we know? Well, when you start, there'll be a lot of chaos in your life. >> Mhm. >> Because the cleanup starts happening. >> And most people say, "Oh my god, there's chaos. Let's leave it. I don't think this is going well." So here's a misconception I want to clear um with the audience.
(51:04) Praying to any dity and especially the dus mahavyas does not mean that your life is going to get smoother and better. In the beginning >> if I'm going to clean this room the first thing that will go out is a garbage. >> There'll be a lot of dust. I can't stop. >> Well said bab. >> So this is not a journey of but we go to the temple every day.
(51:29) Why is our life not good? >> This is not that journey. Mhm. This is not a spa session. >> This is Oh yes. Well said. This is not a spa session. >> This is not a spiritual spa where you >> cucumbers on your eyes and you're relaxing. Not >> that Dr. Manit Kumar helped me take me to the Das Mahavidya and do my cleansing of my aura and when I move out of this room I'll feel lighter, nicer and >> by the time I reach home my husband would be another person and my bank balance will be full.
(51:55) >> What a spiritual spa. Should not consider this to be that. >> Yes, not at all. Ma'am, you mentioned right at the beginning that once uh uh you are inclined towards uh a Mahavya uh does one bring in an idol? Does one bring in a photograph? Does that work with that? >> Brilliant question.
(52:16) See a lot of people say should we bring a photo? Should we bring an idol? What should be the size of the idol? >> Mhm. >> Now traditional people, the traditional pundits will tell you don't have the idol bigger than the size of your thumb. Oh, I saw Ma Kali's beautiful statue statue in in in your room. >> Yes, she is Pran Praisht and she is there.
(52:38) So my question is that while you are in Tantra, while you are in the on the path of Das Mahavidya, you are in any case on the left-handed path. >> Mhm. >> Right. >> There you go. >> So there is nothing like that. When she came, we didn't know she's going to come. >> Mhm. >> And she said, "No, I want to come." So I said, "No, you can't.
(52:54) " She said, "I want to." I said, "I don't have the northeast for a temple." Mhm. >> She said but I I'm going to come here. I said but how are you going to come here? Who's going to get you? Where do we find you? And she gave us all the instructions. We got you know Amorti done and everything. I was a common man. If you believe in fear first of all kindly don't come to the Dasma >> and if you're fearless then it doesn't matter whether an idol is this or this.
(53:20) >> Nice. >> Right. So either there's fear or there's faith. They cannot be both. You cannot be either, you know, you cannot be half pregnant. >> You either are or you aren't. >> Well said. >> So, either you are in faith or you are in fear. So, if you're in fear, this is not the podcast for you.
(53:38) This is not the path for you. >> And if you're not in fear, >> then go towards faith and go towards her grace. Then get what you want. >> An idol has far more energy than a picture. >> Mhm. And a lot of people say that do we then have to you know maintain certain rules do certain things. I'm sure you'll love her >> and that's the most important thing and I'm sure you'll care for her also.
(54:02) But the dasma vidyas does not have room for vehem superstition >> my god if for one day we don't feed her we will be killed we will be punished. It's not like that. >> It's not like that. if you want please make a contract with her >> saying that listen I don't think I can do it every day or if I'm traveling what am I going to do >> so it's all right we are not in a certain yoga >> where we have the bandwidth or the wherewithal and we are just not doing it because we don't want to do it >> we are not doing it because we are not
(54:33) able to do it for a certain bigger reason >> absolutely >> I don't think God is sitting there to punish us and I don't think at the same time that God needs imagine >> we give money to my Lakshmi. So funny I mean really what would she be thinking? She was like thank you and then we say you know if you do this for us we're going to give 500.
(54:58) She is the goddess of the entire universe. We are bribing her with 500 rupees. Such is the nature and the understanding of man. >> Yeah I am giving back light to the sun as beautiful as one can be. >> You must be looking at saying are you are you serious? So sometimes I just feel that you know man has become so disconnected from the fact that there is nothing to offer except your own vices.
(55:24) >> How beautifully said. How beautifully said and maybe that's the reason why one needs an academy of tantra where one can know the these basic details which most of us are uh unaware of and no wonder why that we have these superstitions. Once the knowledge pours in, there is no space for superstition.
(55:45) And thank you very much for actually conducting uh a place like this where there is an academy of tantra where one can actually learn it and not fall into the trap of superstition. This is a science just the way you beautifully explained it. One cannot uh just because one could not explain how is thunder. You created a god of thunder. Absolutely.
(56:05) We have created humanized versions of these multiple energies and given them the names of Mahavidya or the Davis the way we know. But who are they? How are these energies dispersed is something that one can learn. Only one one has a guru and a teacher like you. So thank you very much for actually bestowing us with this knowledge.
(56:25) Uh we spoke of Das Mahavidya but we didn't speak of the yogis or uh >> we must cover it in a later section. >> How many are there? Yogani Tantra, the Dhakin, Shakinis and the Yogani Tantra. These must be spoken about. >> So these are the ones they are they they are the gatekeepers or the or the first ones to actually >> Yes. >> bow down to please only then do they let us enter into the world of Mahavya.
(56:48) Absolutely. >> We'll definitely need another podcast for that. >> Sure. >> That means we will have many more of these to come at the Academy of Tantra podcasts. My name is Mantra and I've had an absolute pleasure knowing about Das Mahavidya with you. Thank you very much Dr. Manit.
