Kamakhya Devi and Kamakhya Sadhana.
The announcement of sadhana shivir of Kamakshya goddess. |
The Kamakhya Goddess is one of the most revered goddess for the Kaulas. There is a famous temple dedicated to Kamakhya goddess in Assam. It is believed that the "Yoni" of Mata Sati fell there and the temple was erected. Since, the Kamakhya is the place where Satidevi's yoni fell, one can simple infer that the whole cult and worship of Kamakhya Goddess is related to Yoni Tantra.
There might be many stories and anecdote of Kamakhya Goddess temple but that simply is not relevant. Stories can be made or be edited but facts remains the same. Fact is the most essential thing to understand any concepts. So lets talk about the whole Kamakhya Goddess and the tantric aspect to it.
Kamakhya can be broken down into two words (kama+ikshya) where kama = passion, sexual drive for creation, ikshya = wish, desires. Therefore, Kamakhya devi represent the creative aspects of the whole creation. The sexual drive should not be misrepresented that of an ordinary human. The sexual drive here represents the union of Shiva and Shakti. When the supreme Shiva and Shakti unite, the whole creation takes place. So, Kamakhya is the goddess who has the intense desire to unite with her Shiva for creation of this universe.
Tantra uses various methods to explain phenomena. One particular method that tantra uses to explain the universal phenomena into simple comprehensible terms is by using Analogies. Analogies is one of the method of elaboration and explanation where the complex ideas are explained through the connection and similarities of day to day phenomena. The Yoni tantra uses the women body and the yoni as an analogy to explain the universal phenomena.
First of all, the universe is always in the process of creation and destruction. The creation and the destruction goes hand in hand. There is a point or phenomena in the universe from where everything is created and comes into existence, that is the unknown Yoni. It is from that universal yoni, where all the solar system, planets, stars, galaxies is created and released to the whole universe as a tangible agent. Similarly, we are created through the union of our own parents and we all come to this world through our mothers yoni.
Inside our mothers womb, the whole creation and destruction takes place within the period of 28 days. The womb first becomes mature when the first menstruation takes place. The post period of the first menstruation means our mothers are now eligible to give birth to us. When the sexual union takes place between them then the seed of the masculine figure goes and fertilizes the ovary of the feminine. After this union a new life is formed, after maturation inside the womb for the period of 9 months a new life comes to the open world through our Mothers yoni.
If the sexual union doesn't take place, then after every menstruation, the first week the womb is not ready for the procurement. The womb becomes ready after a week and at the end of the second week it is the most peak time for the fertilization of the ovum. Slowly, the creation aspect now starts to decline and at the end of the third week, the fertilization aspect rapidly declines and when it reaches to the point of complete destruction, the whole ovum and the blood is excreted out through the vagina or the yoni. This is the point where the menstruation takes place and after a week the same creation aspects takes place, the same cycle again starts. Every month the process takes place.
Similar, is with the the universe. The universe also goes through the same period of destruction and creation. After every destruction, the whole universe goes to a rest and again the whole process starts. It is through this process and through the spiritual union of the primitive Shiva and Shakti, the creation of the planets, stars, galaxies takes place.
Now, from the above analogy we can infer that the whole Yoni Tantra tries to explain the universal phenomena through women's body. But this day and age, the whole yoni tantra is in the process of rapid declension. The reason is quite simple and obvious. People with the corrupt vision have now started worshiping the yoni of the women. The yoni that was used for the analogy to explain the universal phenomena is now being worshiped under misguidance. People also have started to indulge in sexual activity in the name of Yoni tantra which is the worst a person can go.
If you have read my above lines, i have explained the whole phenomena through the body of our mothers. It is a natural phenomena for both the Kamakhya devi and our mothers to go through the same phenomena. But the people who have dirt in their minds and who have lost all their conscience to the sensual part perceives the yoni in lust.
Can you imagine yourself to be in lust with your mother's yoni? I suppose not. That is for the reason the Kamakhya goddess or the Yoni tantra shouldn't be viewed through the perception of a women's yoni but purely throught the perception of mother's yoni, be it natural mother or the universal mother, Kamakhya devi.
The Kamakhya devi is more of infinite, attributeless, hidden, unseen but she powers the whole universe. The unseen force of the creation. She is feminine energy and she is the universal mother, she gives birth to the whole universe. Ultimately, she is our mother because as she gave birth to the world that we live in.
Now, to understand the Kamakhya Goddess, one needs to practice the Kamakhya sadhana. One should also take the tantric initiation from the capable master with the allegiance to known tantric kulas. His Holiness, "Kaulantak Peethadeshwar Mahayogi Satyendra Nath Ji Maharaj", the heros among all the Kaula's is conducting the sadhana at Balichowki, Himachal Pradesh and His Holiness will be empowering the devotees to the path of the universal mother,
Kamakhya devi sadhana initiation camp will be held on 27th and 28th September. If one wishes to participate one can participate by calling on the phone numbers given in the website and then confirming their reservations. I am participating.
I hope my post helps the reader to give the true insight of the Kamakhya Goddess.
Guru Dev next sadhana diksha kab tak denge
