happiness through Curiosity on the Rand show so lxmi is the as we all know is the Shakti of bhagan Vishnu she is the sustaining power she uh has multiple forms so she can give you material wealth she can give you power she can give you position she can give you uh honor respect even Kingdom okay and so basically Lakshmi is that sense of uh possession of things uh but harmonious sense of possession it's not a very insecure sense of possession there are lower entities that can give you a lot of possession of multiple things but they will also give a lot of insecurity in that whereas the blessings of uh Lakshmi if if it's there on somebody they will be very secure about where they are it's not so much about there could be a lot of money but they did not be a lot of money also what they will feel inside is a certain sense of Harmony and balance very powerful sense of Harmony and balance okay so that is the biggest blessing that mahalakshmi can give to an individual contentment along with the actual material blessings yes but both that both of these can come but the primary thing is that a sense of if her greatest blessing is a sense of contentment and she requires a um her upasana requires a harmonious environment that Harmony should also be manifested in the area where you are doing the upasana what do that means that if the room where you're doing it is unclean or disorganized then getting her blessings will be more difficult for you is a room like this all right no so even here everything has to be so when one is doing a Puja I mean uh leaving aside maybe 1 2% individuals who are superbly gifted in spiritual practice for ordinary persons in the Puja room there should be everything in a harmonized manner in a secure manner uh so that they can uh uh you know connect to her energy faster she likes that Harmony that physical Harmony that's why in many um uh many places you can make designs on the floor on various various patterns and all that or basically the idea is that it should have a should feel good it should not feel SC Ed the energy should feel absolutely in balance in that space physical space it important to have that whereas for L sarasti just to give a comparative point there will be great artists if you look at their working desk it'll look like a complete mess pen is here the paper is there something Etc ET nobody knows what is where only that person knows but the output is terrific uh is there a tantric form of Mah lakmi yes that's called kamalat M so she is one of the mahavidyas let's turn to the screen for the first time Kamal atmik the images are probably the best way to understand so all these are Kamala images only so a different variations of it you can choose anyone okay you know a Layman would assume that this is M lakmi yes but it's not not so there are the mantras will differ the Puja padti will differ okay so Tantra that I keep saying is that not only the D but also the mantras will differ there will be V specifically that'll be useful for her and along with her there is a Bava all the mahavidyas except one have a Bava the one which is a widow yes which one is that dhumavati dhumavati so all of them will have a Bava and her Bava is actually sadashiva who's like Vishnu sadashiva who's like Vishnu that is her bhava and kamalika mantras also work very wonderfully for people who are interested in wealth and other things so one of the things about the tantric forms of the daes the mother's various um Tantra is as I as I keep repeating Tantra has uh a fascination with understanding power okay it is not sufficient to know that I'm feeling Blissful and happy and peaceful and calm and detached all that is fine but there has to be power and whenever there's power there has to be application of power there is nothing like I'm very powerful but nobody has seen me applying that power statement power that is applicable so therefore these tantric forms of the devatas once you start their mantras before you reach the state of contentment inside and all that there will be changes inside outside also so therefore kamalika mantras can bring about very fast um changes in the material life first of all I'm very interested in the B you spoke about I want Atara to pull up that also but but but but no I don't think you'll find the image of that b but let's see I chances are less um how does one differentiate between lakshmim Ma and so there are no there are more iconographical details and plus the as I said the mantras are different the danas are different so there are various aspects of kamalat Mika various aspects of kamalika just like that there are aspects of uh you know normal lakmi so kamalika aasana is relatively slightly lesser among the mahavidya panthan Lesser as in in prominence prominence because people normally what they do is once they going into mahavidya realm they prefer go to the the Kali Tara tripur sundari or maybe bami Chasta that types kabat is also there uh but slightly lesser okay uh you know just again for further understanding the mahavidyas are 10 goddesses 10 goddesses which represent different 10 aspects of adya shaki fair to say 10 aspects of life ad Shak is more than life 10 aspects of existence yeah Cosmic existence not your or my existence uh if you take a spaceship leave Earth and you keep going out as far as you can over billions of light years and you reach that edge of space of course Kalima is present there as well do you think the mahavidyas are present there Kara trur sundari they're everywhere Kara tripur sundari are the are three of the mahavidyas yes just give out the names without explaining because we we'll cover all of them but what are the names Kali Tara tripur Sundar or Shoshi we call her uh then baneshwari tripur bhavi chinnamasta balami ma dhumavati Matangi kamalika these are the 10 gotcha dialing it back down coming back to the basic dieses when we're talking about just lakima in her satk form and she take you to that final point of Liberation yeah if you look at mahalakshmi as a supreme Dy yes why not so in in certain I think VN sadas also they have mahalakshmi as one of the you know main daes who can take somebody to the uh ultimate state but there is also another mahalakshmi which comes to us from the Davi mahatam where she's a warrior goddess so there is so it is believed that the form of dura that we worship is actually derivation from that mahalakshmi oh that mahalakshmi is 18 armed has weapons in all our arms and she goes into battle any different from Kalima yeah very different from Kalima there is so there is it's it's these various forms were created for the sake of the upasaka okay the mantras will change as the Mantra changes the forms changes but more or less broadly broadly there is Kali there is lakmi there is sarasti these dates are there their Mantra Mantra changes and therefore their iconography will have certain changes like I was explaining that time when somebody's doing sadhana he's using uh the Mantra japa and danana of the de to create a formation that formation is broadly I'm worshiping Lakshmi or broadly I'm worshiping sarasti but it will have slight differences based on the Mantra I'm doing and the danana I'm doing and that formation will eventually lead you to a higher condition by formation you mean visualization visualization that takes a life of its own in the astral plane which in the west is called conjuration magic yes but this is more powerful than that you're building your own more powerful because the system is so thorough provided you can make it properly you have the requisite amount of concentration and to Aid that con concentration so they give you the number of japas of the DAT that you have to do so when you're doing a mantra sadana if you're doing it formally after initiation and all that the guru may tell you that you have to do one lak japa four lak japa five lak japa of the Mantra with certain restrictions so once you enter into that process the reputation of the Mantra generates the energy that drives the form that you are meditating on amongst other effects amongst other effects okay if you enjoyed this clip from the r show we've uploaded a ton of other clips to a ton of other topics so explore the channel because there's something for everyone [Applause] [Music]
