Invocation of the Jiva Kalas the 99 Kalas of the Celestial Lights
Once again we invoke the ten kalas of fire, the twelve kalas of the sun and the sixteen kalas of the moon as before, but this time in the icon or the female.
The Brahma Kalas
Then we invoke the kalas of Brahma, the creator in the Muladhara chakra. The ten kalas are: srstyai (creation), rdhyai (growth), smrtyai (memory), medhayai (intelligence), kantyai (glow), laksmyai (prosperity), dyutyai (sparkling), sthirayai (fixity), sthityai (firm placement), siddhyai (transcendent). The first 8 kalas go around the muladhara in a clockwise direction. The ninth kala (sthityai) goes inside the muladhara, the tenth kala (siddhyai) goes up to the tip of the lingam or to the outward edge of the cervix.
The Visnu Kalas
The ten kalas of Visnu are distributed six in the Svadhisthana chakra jarayai (old age), palinyai (protective), santyai (peace), isvaryai (control), ratyai (enjoyment), kamikayai (lust); three at the Ajna Chakra and eyes varadayai (blessing), hladinyai (happiness), prityai (loving); and one at the Sahasrara chakra dirghayai (long).
The Rudra Kalas
The ten kalas of Rudra are the Sun located in the Manipura Chakra. That is the thermonuclear fusion reaction which is the brightness itself. That is why the chakra is called manipura filled with jewels. Up to this point, you cannot see any lights. But when you come to manipura chakra you begin to see lights in your meditation.
The mantra for Rudra is Tryambakam yajamahe sugandhim pusti vardhanam urvarukamiva bandhanan mrtyormuksiya mamrtat namah. Tryambakamthe lord of the three mothers, Gauri, Laksmi and of Saraswati. Parameswara is the lord of Mahatripurasundari, at all the three levels. They are all the same. You say , "This is my hand and this is my eye". They are all your body. Parvati is known as the "Sahodari "of Rama. If you identify Rama with "Purusha" the "Prakriti" is the yoni, it is the Sahodari. It is the same place. The Rudra kalas are: tiksnayai namah (sharp), raudryai (anger), bhayayai (fear), nidrayai (sleep), tandriyai (coma), ksudhayai (hunger), krodhinyai (flames of anger), kriyayai (active), udgaryai (uplifting), mrtyave (death).
Isvara Kalas (Anahata Chakra)
There are four kalas for Isvara at the anahata chakra. In the body, imagine that the left portion is the female, the right portion is the male. This is the Ardhaniswara form. The female breast is yellow in color (pitayai namah); the male breast is white in color (svetayai). The nipple on the female side is red(arunayai); the nipple on the male side is blue(asitayai). That is what is being described here with the kalas.
In the mantra you say "Tad visnoh paramam padam, sada pasyanti surayah diviva caksur atatam tadvipraso vipanyavo jagrvamsah samindhate visnoryat paramam padam namah". Death is the ultimate abode of Visnu. Visnu is supposed to be sitting on his vehicle garuda along with Lakshmi. If you look at the breasts like this, they look a little like a bird in flight.
Visnu is sitting in the middle in between the two breasts. He is the heart of the mother. Since Visnu is female, the right breast is called Sri and the left breast is called Bhu. Sri Devi and Bhu Devi. Sri Devi gives protection and Bhu Devi gives nourishment. And protection ultimately takes the form of protecting your true nature to yourself. Sri means anugraha. Anugraha is like laya, dissolution. That is why some people think of Lalita as very "ugra" (fierce) . It is not the individual laya but the Maha Pralaya, the dissolution of the worlds at the end. Shankaracharya says, "When the whole world is burning, you alone with your husband are dancing. And this burning of the world is showing a nirajanam, a lighted camphor lamp to you."
Sadasiva kalas (Vissuddhi Chakra)
Up to this point, attachment to the world is there. The muladhara and swaddhisthana chakras are connected to Srusti - creation. Sthiti - preservation is connected with manipura and anahata, and laya - annilation is connected with the Visshudhi and Ajna chakras. The dominant point in laya is the vairaghya, the detachment. Once you come to the Visshudhi chakra the withdrawal starts. If you are functioning mainly from here, then you will not come back into a physical form on the earth. If you are functioning from the Anahata chakra you will come back because of your love and attachment to the world, or for helping others in the world. But from the Visshudhi you are not bound any more to the world. If you look at the meanings of the kalas you will see that they do not deal with individuality but the actions speak of internalization of knowledge.
If you look at the meanings of the kalas you will see that they do not deal with individuality but the actions speak of internalization of knowledge, of vidya and realization.
The kalas of Sadasiva are: nivrtyai namah (withdrawal), pratistha (fame), vidyayai (internal knowledge), santyai (peace), indhikayai (fuel), dipikayai (light), recikayai (exhaustive), mocikayai (liberating), parayai (transcendental), suksmayai (light), suksmamrtayai (pervasive), jnanayai (knowledge of the immanent, what you see), janamrtayai (intuitive knowlege of the transcendental), apyayinyai (filling), vyapinyai (expansion), vyomarupayai (space).
