Hymns to Kali
₹95This Mantroddhara has been made following the authority of Kalika-sruti, Niruttara-Tantra and other Tantras. Many commentators, however, have apparently in the view of Vimalananda failed to consult the above authorities, and have thus fallen into errors and have given a different Mantroddhara.
Studies on The Tantras
₹100Man has a natural tendency to enjoyment, and does not generally welcome renunciation. He finds it difficult to call upon the Lord in a pure and simple way, and instinctively hugs to his bosom some amount of impurity in the midst of purity. Even through renouncing lust and wealth, he would like to have a passing glimpse of them. Hence it is that we find that immediately after stating distinctly in his sacred books that the worship of the Divine Mother should be performed in the purest way possible, he also makes room fore some queer sensuous songs in them on the plea that these will be pleasing on the Goddess.
Hymns to The Goddess
₹175The Goddess (Devi) is the great Sakti. She is maya for of Her the maya which produces the samsara is. As Lord of maya, She is Mahamaya. Sakti or Devi is thus the Brahman revealed in its Mother aspect (srimata) as creatrix and nourisher of the worlds. Kali says of Herself in Yogini Tantra.
