Chhinmasta Tantra Sadhanas Perfection Of Chinmasta (For Thorough Spiritual And Material Enhancement)

Of all the Ten Mahavidyas Chhinmasta holds a significant place in the Tantrik tradition. Every Sadhak in the world nurtures a hidden desire to accomplish her Sadhana, for he very well knows that if totality is to be attained, if a fearless, opulent existence is to be achieved and if subsequent success in all other Mahavidya Sadhanas is to be ensured, then it is the best course. Generally common man takes to fear on seeing the form of Divine Mother. The Goddess is depicted with her head severed, from which spurts a fount of blood, eagerly consumed by two of her attendants!

Origin Of The Deity

The story behind the origin of Chhinmasta runs thus: Once Parvati consort of the omnipotent Lord, Shiva, was bathing in a river while two of her closest attendants, Jaya and Vijaya, waited for her beside it. Suddenly, the attendants got extremely hungry and it became so intolerable that at last they said, "0 kind Mother! We are starved to death. Please give us some­thing to eat." What could Parvati give them in that wilder­ness? She had just come to bathe there and did not have anything. Nor was there any food around, which could satisfy their hunger. Realising this, the com­passionate mother cut her head and gestured to the attendants to feed on the fountain of blood that spurted from it!

Once, goddess Bhagwati-Bhawani, went to have a bath in the river Mandakini, with her two companion Jaya and Vijaya.

After having their bath all of them became hungry. The complexion of goddess Bhagawati turned dark because of sheer hunger. Jaya and Vijaya asked for something to eat. Goddess Bhagawati told both of them to wait for some time. After sometime they demanded for food again. They were again told by goddess Bhagawati to wait.

Unable to control their hunger Jaya and Vijaya said very politely to Bhagawati that "Mother, give food to her hungry children as soon as it is demanded."

Bhagawati was very pleased by their innocence, she severed her head by her own hand and held the severed head in her left hand, three streams of blood started to ooze out from the neck.

All of them, satisfied their hunger by drinking the blood from the three streams of blood respectively.

She is called Chhinnamasta because of her severed head.

Goddess Chhinnamasta is a symbol of the perception of secrecy. She stands on the seat of white lotus. In her navel Yoni Chakra are situated. The directions itself are her apparel. Her two companions symbolises the two qualities of Tara (dark) and Raja (medium). She is alive even though her head is severed from her body.

This severed head is symbolic of introverted nature of accomplishment.

Can a mother ever see her children in trouble? No! Similarly Chhinmasta is the benign, gentle form of Divine Mother who is ever eager to bear the pains, strifes, paucity of her children and who instils happiness, opulence, health, invincibility into their lives.
