Goddess Matangi

Posted by Unknown

MATANGI is the Hindu Goddess of inner thought. She is one of the Mahavidyas, the wisdom Goddesses. She has dominion over the throat chakra, and therefore the spoken word as well. Matangi is the dark form of the Goddess Sarasvati, Goddess of knowledge, and as such she presides over the more mystic inner kind of knowledge. She is depicted with dark green skin and three eyes, and she holds a parrot and a veena (the same musical instrument as Sarasvati).

Matangi is also referred to as the Goddess who loves pollution. This strange epithet comes from one story of her origin. Vishnu and Lakshmi had gone to visit Shiva and Parvati, bringing with them various foods. Some of the food fell to the floor, and from the pieces there arose a maiden, who asked for the leftovers. Shiva told her that whoever worshipped her would be very successful, and named her UCCISHTHA-MATANGINI. Leftover food is considered to be polluted in Hinduism, and thus her epithet.

Goddess Bhuvanesvari

Posted by Unknown

BHUVANESVARI is the Hindu Goddess of the physical world. She is one of the Mahavidyas, the wisdom Goddesses. Bhuvanesvari is considered to be one of the first of the Goddesses, who came into being just after the world was created in order to direct it. She is a form of Tripura Sundari, the Great Mother. Bhuvanesvari is described as being very beautiful, with a golden complexion and black hair. Her smiling face has three eyes, so that she can better observe the world. She sits on either a lotus, a symbol of both creation and perfection, or a throne.

Bhuvanesvari has some fierce aspects, as with all of the Mahavidyas, because she protects the world, her creation. She holds a noose and a goad, intended to control evil. Her hand gestures represent the offering of favors and fearlessness. Bhuvanesvari's name, which means "mistress of the world," is also seen as BHUVANESI, BHUVANESWARI, and BHUBANESVARI, and her other names and epithets include:

Goddess Chinnamasta

Posted by Unknown

CHINNAMASTA is the Hindu Goddess of transformation. She is one of the Mahavidyas, the wisdom Goddesses, and is probably the most terrifying of them. She is depicted holding her own head, which she has just cut off. Stories of her origin vary, but one relates that Parvati was bathing with two attendants, Jaya and Vijaya, when the attendants asked the Goddess to satisfy their hunger. After putting them off several times, Parvati looked all around and then cut off her own head. Three streams of blood came from her neck--one went to the mouth of Jaya, one to the mouth of Vijaya, and the last to the mouth of Parvati herself. At this point, Parvati is transformed into the Goddess Chinnamasta, whose name literally means "severed head." When they were satisfied, she put her head back on, became Parvati again, and went home. In other versions, the attendants are named Dakini and Varnini, and Chinnamasta is standing on a couple in the middle of having sex. The couple is Rati, Goddess of sexual desire, and her husband Kama, God of love.

Taken all together, the symbolism in Chinnamasta's depiction represents the transcendence of the body. Standing on the couple having sex, she has mastered the physical body, and then by cutting off her head she frees the mind. Her happy face shows the joy that she feels in bringing together life, sex, and death--three forms of transformation, three parts of the cycle. Chinnamasta's name is also seen as CHHINNAMASTA and CHINNAMASTAKA, and in Tantric Buddhism she is known as CHINNAMUNDA. Her stotra of 108 names is as follows:
