Known as 🦢krouncha-puri🦜 in ancient times, perhaps due to its diverse🕊bird🐦life, still visible👀 in its outskirts of🦩rangan-thittū🐓, mys-ūrū beckons🙏us today (Wednesday, July 20th, 2022) for a b’day🎉bash🎁, aptly termed “vardhaṃti@ವರ್ಧಂತಿ,” literally a holistic-cake🎂-cutting & distributing🍰ceremonyfor enhanced overall long-term prosperity.

Whose progress/vardhaṃti/b’day is it? Well, it’s a celebration of our own renewal & mastery of our very life energy singularly from the infinite potential energy of 💀death☠️ <cā-munḍa-īś-vari>! It’s a recharge of our own inherent energies smartly consecrated as an unimaginably 🧟‍♀️grotesque-turned-beauty🧜🏿‍♀️, atop mysūrū’s popular & influential km-tall🏔hillock🗻, apart from the chariot🎠<rathā> of the symbolic mastery of our own intellect🧠’s boon-giving ability <lingām-budhi-īś-varā> at its 🏊🏿‍♂️lakeside 🏊🏿‍♀️retreat!

For many who’ve been there, my-s(uper)-ūrūis an all-time favourite, large-hearted💓, 🎶culturally-rich🛕& 🧽clean🧼city🌃 (in fact topping the charts of svacch bhārat abhiyān’s 5-star-rated clean cities survékṣanawards (overall) in 2015 & 2016; and again for medium-sized cities category in 2018 & 2020).

The city is also close to my heart 💞personally. Amongst many other connections🕸 & memories🤔, mysūrū is where

  1. my dad👨became a doctor👨‍⚕️, receiving his MBBS from MMC;
  2. one of the innumerable manifestations of my darkness-removing principle <gu-ru tat-tvā> was enlightened; &
  3. I got my first-ever over-speeding ticket🎫, driving crazily uphill cā-munḍi on a then brand new Mitsubishi Lancer, a magic black🚔workhorse🐎 which remained steadfast with us for 19 years, bidding goodbye👋 just a couple of years ago!

This latently-potent lunar month’s♊️-♋️waning eighth8️⃣ <āṣāḍa/āḍi🧲kr̥ṣṇā🖤aṣṭami> from 12:25PM🕧onwards this afternoon coincident with rāhu kāḷaṁ, in the backdrop of wisdom🧙‍♂️ & intellect🧠, characteristic of the zodiac’s last star🌟 Zeta Piscium🌌 <révati>, is the day on which, many centuries ago, the mahā-rājā🤴 of mys-ūrū consecrated a deity, who till date remains the official state deity <nāda dévaté>of karnātakā. This eventful consecration was done atop the cā-munḍiHills, next to a 1,000+ year old consecration of our life energy’s great & strong consort <mahā-bala-īś-varā>, deriving its greatness & strength from our potent stillness & steadiness. 

The anniversary of the consecration is celebrated in a grand manner, amidst védic & āgamic rites, with a golden palanquin ride for our own compassionately-destructive power to eliminate our foolish impersonation of our own robotic🤖 toolset🧰, by quintessentially ripping it apart right down to its very bones🦴& skulls💀, essentially a skeletal structure☠️, which may help us finally recognise the limitations of our assumed physicality to eventually transcend all boundaries & recognize our oneness with the so-called “🌬Divine🤰🏻Mother🤱” & thus our own creation: the universe🌌.

This foolishness of mistaken🆔identity is so rampant amongst us that almost all of us behave as if it were normal, just the way patients in a mental health facility🏥 might treat each other!!! It’s also akin to how the most uncommon sense is common sense;-) In such a situation, a👹drastic👺treatment is required & that’s precisely what the powerful💥tool🛠of 🥵cā-munḍa-īś-vari☠️is so thoughtfully💭designed & devised for... to tighten the ‘nuts’ amongst us & hammer their ‘loose’ ends... basically, a ‘hard reset’ for us to return to THE original norm i.e., our own brahman-like factory🏭settings to reclaim “aham brahmāsmi❣️

The🐤🐣krouncha-pīṭha🦉🦅mys-ūrū cā-munḍa-īś-vari Temple🛕is undisputedly recognised as one of the 16 greatest (subset of the 108 great) powerhouses <mahā śakti pīṭhā>, where the various forms of our own latent internal sacrificial energies <sati dévi>, felled by the visionary discus of our own everythingness, fell to reset our own nothingness. In the case of mys-ūrū, it was the tress-like flow of the regenerative power of our death, envisioned by the severed hairs (potent dead cells) of the dévi (regenerator).

śrī-rāma-kr̥ṣṇa-parama-haṃsā almost inevitably went into a deep trance/state of equanimity <samā-dhī> whenever he heard the chanting of the mārkandéya purāṇā’s dévi māhātmyam, also known as durgā sapta-śati or candi pāṭhaḥ. What’s actually symbolised in this set of 700🧨dynamite-like ślōkās is the subtle spiritual kuṇḍalini (कुण्डलिनि) energy emanating from each of our own seven subtle neural nodes <cakrās> in the 7G (sic) WiFi antenna-like axis <suśumna nāḍi> of our subtle body’s backbone to eliminate all of our deep-rooted qualities <gunās>, be they inertial <tāmasik>, aggressive <rājasik> or even pure <sāttvik>, to return us to the native state of our dark energy’s mastery: our own🕳nothingness or dark matter. The energy⚡️forms are clearly distinct as they emanate from each of our 7️⃣ nodes, metaphorically represented by the 7️⃣ oxymoronic virgin mothers <sapta kanni mātrikās>. The powers radiated or released by our own subtle body, upon our graded spiritual awakening, are

  1. earthy brute force capture & detachment <vārāhi/vināyaki> from our very root source <mūla-ādhārā>;
  2. watery piercing, castrating & disemboweling <nṛsimhi/kaumāri> our own physical & gender limitations <sva-adhi-ṣṭhānā>;
  3. fiery & sensational consumption <indrāni> of all that we’ve ever imagined to possess <mani-pūrā>,
  4. airy-hypersonic slicing <vaiśnavi> of even the unstuck & unheard <an-āhatā>;
  5. spatially-deafening unlearning <brahmani> of all that we’ve ever learnt, including our extra specially-perceived purity <vi-śuddhi>;
  6. supra-elemental demolition of all our intellectual boundaries <cā-munḍi> through the clarity of our inner perception <ajñā> &
  7. meta-elemental inclusive absorption <māh-éśvari> of all that there ever was, is & will be <sahasrārā>.

Note that cā-munḍi is extra-special as the only one amongst our own gender-neutral, or rather gender-unifying, seven young motherly characteristics <kanni-matrukās> to have emanated from our own femininity <iḍā nāḍi or dévi> rather than from our own masculinity <piṅgalā nāḍi or dévā>!

This🧐mercurial🧠Wednesday’s rāhu kāḷaṁ(12:24PM to 2:00 🕑PM IST) callout is to our own dreaded hallucinatory illusion@rāhu to explore the potency of its other face that’s charming: imagination, innovation, creativity, technology etc. even more so on the occasion of today’s wise & intellectual révati nakṣatrā, energetic āṣāḍa/āḍi🧲kr̥ṣṇā🖤aṣṭami & 💀cā-munḍa-īś-vari☠️vardhaṃti: the b’day of death energy!
