Significance of Chinnamasta Devi Sadhana [Hindi with English CC]

Описание: In this discourse, Om Swami answers a question on Chinnamasta Devi - Her form, significance, and sadhana.

Out of the ten Mahavidya of Devi, there is one Mahavidya whom we call Chinnamasta. In this form, Devi is holding her own severed head in one hand. The story behind Chinnamasta's Devi is that - Once Maa Jagdamba was walking with her two friends Jaya and Vijaya in the forest. After walking for a long time, Jaya and Vijaya said that they were hungry, and wanted Maa to arrange some food. Maa replied that she will arrange some food once they reach any village. But, they did not come across a village for a long time. Jaya and Vijay who got a bit upset and told Maa " You are the one who is the mother of the whole Universe, but what kind of a mother are you, when you are unable to satiate our hunger." Based on what is written in the books, it goes on to say Maa took out her sword and cut off her own head. Three streams of blood started flowing from her severed head. One stream went to Jaya, one to Vijaya and one to Maa's severed head. This is the story behind Chinnamasta Devi.

Listen to the full discourse to understand more about why Maa took this form, the significance, and the sadhana behind the form.

"The yoga of self-transformation helps the practitioner to turn inward completely. Besides discipline, the success in the actual sadhana depends on four key aspects: sadhaka (aspirant), siddha (master), sadhya (goal) and sadhan (resources). The absence of any one of the four puts the whole practice on a shaky ground." - https://os.me/the-four-pillars-of-sad...
