This bija causes Bliss (There are six ह्रीं (hrim) in Mahaṣodasi Mantra). It all depends upon context and conjunction.) It is also said that hrim produces solar energy within the body. For example, it is said in Sriṁ that ra is wealth, whereas here it is explained that ra isPrakṛti. (Interpretations always vary according to bija-s. Nada is Divine Mother (mother of universe) and bindu is the dispeller of sorrow. Ha means Siva, ra means Prakṛti, I means mahamaya (She is Prakasa-vimarsa- mahamaya- svarupini). ह्रीं (hrim) and श्रीं (srim) are often placed together. Om aiṁ śrīṁ klīṁ hrīṁ aiṁ vajra vairocanīye hrīṁ hrīṁ phaṭ svāhā || Om hrīṁ śrīṁ klīṁ hrīṁ aiṁ vajra vairocanīye hrīṁ hrīṁ phaṭ svāhā || Om klīṁ śrīṁ hrīṁ aiṁ vajra vairocanīye hrīṁ hrīṁ phaṭ svāhā || Om śrīṁ klīṁ hrīṁ aiṁ vajra vairocanīye hrīṁ hrīṁ phaṭ svāhā || (In these four mantras prefixed beejaksaras are placed in different positions) The following four mantras are known as प्रचण्डचण्डिका pracaṇḍacaṇḍikā mantras: Om śrīṁ hrīṁ hrīṁ klīṁ aiṁ vajra vairocanīye hrīṁ hrīṁ phaṭ svāhā || Om śrīṁ hrīṁ hrīṁ aiṁ vajra vairocanīye hrīṁ hrīṁ phaṭ svāhā || Om śrīṁ hrīṁ hrīṁ vajra vairocanīye hrīṁ hrīṁ phaṭ svāhā || Other goals common to worship of all Mahavidyas are: poetic speech, well-being, control of one's foes, removal of obstacles, ability to sway kings, ability to attract others, conquest over other kings, and, finally, moksha (salvation). In a collective prayer to the Mahavidyas in the Shakta Maha-bhagavata Purana, the devotee prays to emulate Chhinnamasta in her generosity to others. The Shakta Pramoda and the Rudrayamala recommend the use of her mantra to obtain wealth and auspiciousness.Īnother goal of Chhinnamasta's worship is to cast spells and cause harm to someone.She is prescribed to be worshipped for subjugation or enchantment of men and women (vasikarana), annihilation of foes (uchchatana), someone's death (marana) and causing hatred or hostilities between friends (vidveshana).Īcarya Ananda Jha, the author of the Chinnamasta Tattva, prescribes her worship by soldiers as she embodies self-control of lust, heroic self-sacrifice for the benefit of others, and fearlessness in the face of death. Her mantra associates her with syllables denoting beauty, light, fire, spiritual self-realization, and destruction of delusion. Chhinnamasta's mantra (a sacred chant that is repeated by a devotee) is to be invoked to attract and subjugate women. Who will worship Goddess Chinnamasta /Benefits of worshiping Goddess Chinnamasta : Tantric practitioners worship Chhinnamasta for acquiring siddhis or supernatural powers. Thus what seems to be death is in fact eternal life. Such an adept becomes more and more conscious, until he expands his consciousness to universal consciousness.

Chhinnamasta is the symbol of the final destruction of the limitations created by ahamkara. Going beyond dualities means being a Witness. Only with the destruction of all limitations does the seeker evolve and grow beyond the dualities. The head represents logic and ego.The process of meditation is not for wimps! It requires great courage to face the self identities that limit us and prevent us from evolving in to sages. The process of getting to know oneself, can only occur by “destroying” the petty little self-identities or ahamkara leading to the expansion of the conscious mind. Meditation is inherently a violent process. Why does the Goddess behead herself? Why this violence and self-destruction? She is red, the colour of blood, the symbol of life.

She, who has beheaded herself and appears to be death is in fact life itself. What appears to the worldly one as life is in fact death.The Goddess, standing on the symbol of duality, has mastered this world of opposites.


The symbol of Chhinnamasta is an unique and exceptional symbol unveiling the greatest of all mysteries. The Samaya tradition of the Divine Mother, is related to the Raja, Kundalini, Laya and Srividya Tantra traditions. In the Samaya tradition, the symbols unveil themselves to the meditator through direct experience. Samaya tradition is an internal tradition, there is no external worship.
