Mother Kali at IFC Temple
In Tantra one worship Sakti (Power), that is, God in Mother-form as the Supreme Power, which creates, sustains and withdraws the Universe. God is Mother to the Tantrika who worships Her Lotus Feet.
The Tantra, which is acclaimed as the great Sadhana Shastra, a practical manual, we find the great discipline of knowledge, Maha Vidyas occupying and important part. Where the supreme is adored as the Great Primordial Goddess, the Tantra classifies the disciplines leading to the cardinal Deities as dasa Maha Vidyas, the ten paths of knowledge. This deities are the ten outstanding personalities of the Divine Mother. IFC India has just installed three of the Maha Vidyas as the beginning part of the journey towards self empowerment, the first of its kind in South India. {(The word vidya is from the root vid, to know or to understand. Vidya means learning or knowledge and also denotes the way to understanding, the path of knowledge, the Teaching) By Sri Shankaranarayanan author of The ten Great Cosmic Power, Sri Chakra and many more.}
Tantra Teacher Training's main focus is to help all to know or understanding themselves, thus promoting a stress free life, life filled with love and grace.
We are one of the few temples in India who still perform daily Yajnas (fire
ritual) the most powerful tool to heal all physical and emotional related illness
other then sound. Due to the cost most temples have given up the practice of
performing Yajnas each morning..
Worshiping her feet and the Mother of the home will produce better result, thus one
has to learn to worship the Feet of the Divine Mother within the home (one’s
partner). In Tantra, women are known as Mother Lakshmi of the householder. She is the light
of the home. She is the supreme authority of the home.
There is no Sakti without Siva and no Siva without Sakti. They are inseparable like the
moon and moonlight. Siva and Sakthi are inseparable, so to should men and women, be
inseparable. It is through this unity that we can bring harmony to this Earth. Let us together build
this world to be a beautiful place to live in, through Sakti Worship.
When we speak of Goddess worship, Mother Maha Tripurasundari is the Goddess to
be worshiped as the Mother residing in our Crown Chakra. She is one of the
Maha Vidyas, and at IFC we offer puja to the Meru (a 3D Sri Chakra), but with
Mother Kali, Matangi and Kamalatmika, we have a full size statues of them.
Mother Maha Tripurasundari, the absolute, the all pervading, beyond speech and mind
and even beyond time and space.
True Tantrik is the worship in and by the mind through the use of Yantra, Mantra and
forms. Form is born of the Yantra, and the form is awakened by Mantra-Sakti. Each mantra
is the embodiment of a particular form of Consciousness or Sakti. It is the eternal Sakti
who is the life of mantra.
The mula-mantra or root or core mantra, of Mother Tripurasundari has 15
letters.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
Ka E I La Hrim Ha Sa Ka Ha La Hrim Sa Ka La Hrim.
This mantra consisting of three groups peaks. When saying this mantra one has to
create peaks of 5 -6 -4.
Her Yantra is the Sri Chakra. Now we come to the question of who can worship the Yantra.
Sri Chakra can be worshiped in a home as a holy article, or can kept without worship. It
can be worshiped periodically when one desires to invoke her energy within. One can also
worship the Sri Chakra daily, regularly or irregularly, or when ever one so pleases. It is
a very personal journey between oneself and Mother within.
Just as a deity takes its abode in the center of the Yantra along with all its devata's,
so also you and a group of friends can sit around the Sri Yantra in the form of a Mandala
and worship it. The Sri Yantra can be engraved on a copper sheet or drawn on
paper.
In Tantra it is repeatedly said that one is to adore the Goddess by becoming a Goddess.
The divine Mother is the very self of Atman, and not separate from it.
Sri Yantra is not only the abort of the Divine Mother, but also all her powers and
personalities. Mother Maha Tripurasundari rules the three sets chakra in the Sri Yantra
and all the triplets in the Universe. Lalita ( the Mother of Grace) Rajarajesvari (Divine
Supreme) and Jagadamba ( Mother of the whole universe) Mother Maha Tripurasundari is the
Supreme Sakti, or Parabrahman and her Yantra is Sri Chakra.
"Sri" is a prefix added to name of deities or person to denote auspiciousness or
holiness.
A mantra which consists of more than 12 letters, pertains to a Sakti or female deity is
called Vidya, and not a simple or an ordinary Mantra. Mother Maha Tripurasundari's mantra
is Sri Vidya
In the practice of Tantra there are 10 important Vidya, and the Sri-Vidya is one
amongst them and is considered the supreme, since it bestows fruits which all other
vidya's put together could bestow separately.
Where there is worldly enjoyment there is no Moksha, where there is Moksha there is no
worldly enjoyment. For those who meditate on Mother Tripurasundari, there is worldly
enjoyment as well as Moksha near at hand.
