WHAT IS KAMALAMBIKA TATTVAM (PART 3)

---

We shall now be moving ahead with further more understanding of the Kamalambika tattva.

“KAMALAMBIKA – THE DEVI TATTVAM”

‘Devi’ means that which is self-luminant and by the presence of which everything else becomes illuminated. Here the word luminant must not be confused with the science term ‘light’ or ‘vision’. The Sanskrit word ‘shuddha chaitanyam’ is the most appropriate synonym for Devi. In the unmanifested state there are no names, attributes or forms. When Devi manifests she is everything – living and non-living; seen and unseen; the known and unknown etc. She is the cause or seed (beeja) of this ever evolving Universe but She Herself remains eternal and unchanging. She is Bliss Incarnate Anandamayi which is the basis of Devotion and Divine Love.  Devi is beyond dualities and is not bound by time and space. Hence Devi is KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM OF THE SELF. (Atma Vidya Swaroopini)

        The life of Smt.Kamalamma garu might have been bound by time and space but the essence of her life which is embedded in the Kamalambika Tattva is Eternal and All Pervading. The seed of devotion sown by Kamalambika in the hearts of Her devotees help them to evolve beyond rituals and religious practices. It helps them to progress towards Moksha Sthithi – Eternal Bliss. She shall always remain the ever guiding light – Self lit and Self luminant; the lifetronic force behind our thoughts, actions and our very existence; thereby indicating that

“KAMALAMBIKA – THE AMBIKA TATTVAM”

According to Hindu mythology, Lord Shiva is depicted as a recluse who always remains in a meditative state oblivious to the external world. He married Parvathi who was a princess and was a manifestation of Adishakthi Herself! Ganesha and Karthikeya were born to them to carry out the divine task of destroying the demons and protect the good from the evil. Many sivaganas, sages and hermits also joined the family of Shiva. But the Lord continued to remain unattached, unmindful of His family and its needs. He was always in meditative state either imparting wisdom or attending to His devotees who called Him when they were in desperation and trouble!

This carefree attitude and his detachment from the family issues upset and angered Goddess Parvathi. But she realised that Her anger could not change the reclusiveness of the Lord.  Hence She assumed the role of the Universal Mother and became Goddess Ambika!

AMBIKA is that essence of feminity which takes up the responsibility of maintaining an ideal household, balancing a harmonious marriage, motherhood and family. Ambika tattvam aims at bringing order in the society and peaceful coexistence in the Universe. Since the events narrated in the Divyacharitra reflect all these attributes there is no doubt that
