dutagraha: This term denotes the ego, pride, miserliness, desire, anger, infatuation

and also the evil forces that surround us.

Hum: This is the kavaca bija- the armour. Hence the meaning of this syllable is the she

protects the aspirant from the above using all the astras as the armour

Phat: This is the astra bija-the arrow which destroys. Hence we can see that Devi

destroys the above and the all doubts on constant enquiry

svh: This is the offering into the fire, here the doubts and all miseries are poured into the divine fire and the aspirant is filled with everlasting bliss.

Mediation guide: While repeating Om imagine a form of the devi in your heart, then while repeating rm imagine the trident in the right upper arm and the noose in the left upper arm, then while repeating Hrm imagine the bow and arrow in the next pair, then while repeating klm imagine the sword and mace , the while repeating dum imagine the gestures of granting boons and dispelling fears, then while repeating lini imagine the dark(black) colour of devi with golden ornaments, then while repeating dutagraha hum imagine the roar of the lion and that Devi is seated on it, then while repeating phat imagine the four maidens surrounding her holding sword and shield slaying the demonic forces, then while repeating svh imagine that the devi enters you and expands till she / you fill the universe.

O! Lovable Guru please accept these flowers at your feet

The meaning of the word Durg:

Devi upaniat says durgt samtryate yasmat Devi durgeti gyate. The word durg means a moat full of crocodiles and other fierce creatures. Hence the force which

guides us in crossing over this moat is called durg. Here moat is personification of mundane world, crocodile and other creatures are the forces causing misery.

This is a study on the inner meanings of the above mantra.

rm: This is the bija of the Brahman who is cause of the universe.

Hrm: This is the creative force of the Brahman, his sakthi

Klm: Ka denotes sakti tattva and la denotes pthvi tatva (earth element). is the devi in the form of kmakal who creates this universe. Hence this bija denotes the universe and also an individual immersed in these worldly affairs.

dum: The above individual who is in search of eternal happiness, finally finds a sadguru

and surrenders to him. This guru imparts to him a path and guides him. da denotes dahara- the heart centre and the knot (viu granthi) above it. u the vowel placed in the right ear in matka nyasa denotes upadea the initiation by the guru and his guidance. Anusvara -M denotes the removal of miseries.

Jvala- This denotes fire. Just like whatever is offered into it cannot be retrieved, we are

guided in the path of self realisation by the guru by renouncing the merits or de-merits of

our actions, surrendering them to the guru / chosen deity.

Jvala This again is fire. This fire denotes the hunger for self-knowledge, removal of

ignorance and this is acquired by constant awareness and discrimination.

Repeat of the above is to stress on the path and to ensure this in all the three states

constantly.

lini: uk denotes the individual ego which is likened to a stain in the fickle mind and is cause of sins . The removal of this is revealed in the second part lini .ula is trident a three pointed spear, which removes the stains in the gross, subtle and casual bodies.

lin Durg Mantra Meditation

O Guru , please bless us in our search for the Truth

The Divine Mother took the form of r Durg Devi in the beginning of creation and assumed six forms on her own free will. They were Agni durg, Mahdurg, Jala durg, Vana durg, abari durg and lini durg. Of these the one with the trident (la) is called lini durga, her form is very fierce and grants boons to her devotees instantly. She is the akti, driving force behind arabha form of iva. The meditative verse of arabha says kl durg ca pakau - the Kli is r Partyagira Devi of the atharva Veda and durga is lini durga, they are in the form his wings. Another meditative verse (of the 32 armed-form) says durglita karmbhujam- he embraces durga Devi with a hand. The seer of this mantra is drghatapas- one who is involved in a long penance. The meditative verse is:

bibhr labsyabhayavaragad cpapn karbji: meghaym kirtollasita aikal bhabhadhy

simhaskandhdhirdh catasbhirasikheTavintbhir part kanybhirbhinnadayty bhavatu bhavabhayadhvamsin lin naH

Shlini devi is meditated as dark in colour ( like rain bearing cloud) having a crescent on her crown, wearing fierce looking ornaments, seated on a lion, holding the trident,

arrow, sword, gesture of removing fear and granting boons, mace, bow and noose

(clockwise from her right upper arm) with a prayer to remove all worldly fears. She has

four attendant maidens holding a sword and shield, who vanquish all demonic forces.

The mantra of lini is rm hrm klm dum jvala jvala lini dutagraha hum phat svh.
