These sterling virtues are in great demand by every human being in the battle of life .<br />
<br />
Sri Muthuswamy Dikshithar whose krithis are enriched with the highest philosophy was amply blessed by Kethu Bhagawan as he repeatedly stressed through his krithis the futility of illusions in our day to day life when we are unable to choose the real aspects of our life from the unreal ones.<br />
<br />
Throughout his life Dikshithar travelled from temple to temple and composed the krithis on each deity with great devotion and insight.The temple of Kethu is situate at Keezhperumpallam which is also known as Vanagiri at six kms. from Thiruvengaadu enroute to Poompuhaar .The presiding deities are Naaganaadaswamy and Ambaal.<br />
<br />
<b>Pallavi :=</b><br />
<br />
<b><i>Mahaasuram Kethumaham smaraami chayaagrahavaram : =</i></b> I worship the great demon Kethu who is the foremost of the shadow planets .<br />
<br />
<b>Anupallavi</b><b> </b> :=<br />
<br />
<i><b>Maha vichithra makutadharam mangala vasthraditharam :=</b></i> Who wears a peculiar crown and an auspicious dress .<br />
<b>Madhyama kaalam :=</b><br />
<br />
<b><i>Narapeetasthitham sukham navagrahayutham sakham :</i></b>Pleased at<b><i> </i></b>being half dragon and half human ,who is friendly among the nine planets .Kethu and Raahu do not have a house of their own in the zodiacal horoscope . However they are friendly with the planets posited in the same house by imbibing the attributes of the planets .<br />
<br />
<b>Charanam :=</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><b><i>Kethum kriNvan manthriNam ,krodha nidhi jaiminam </i></b>:= The <i>Bija manthra</i><b> </b> of Kethu is <i>KriNvan .</i></div><div style="text-align: left;">He is the depository of anger. He belongs to Jaimini gothra .</div><div style="text-align: left;"><i> </i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><b>Kuluthadi bhakshanam ,koNa dwaja pathaakinam </b></i>: Fond of a type of horsegram offered for oblations.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Having a flag with triangle symbol .</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Madhyama kalam :=</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><b><i>Guruguha chamarabharanam</i> </b> ,<i><b>guna dosha jithaabharanam :=</b></i> Holding the fan for the pleasure of Guruguha , Being impartial in His duties as a conquerer of the good and the bad.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><i><b>GrahaNaadi kaarya kaaraNam , Grahaapa savya sanchaariNam := </b></i>He is the cause of eclipses .He moves counterclockwise in zodiacal signs .<br />
<br />
With this we conclude the Navagraha Krithis of Dikshithar . The nine planets determine the course of our lives as per our past good and bad deeds.Listening to or reciting the krithis propitiating each planet of the day will bestow peace and prosperity in our lives . As regards Raahu and Kethu if placed with another planet their krithis can be sung on the day of the planet; in case no planet is posited along , then the lord of the house in which Raahu or Kethu is singly posited could be chosen as the day for invoking their blessings.<br />
<br />
As regards the vimshothari dasa of each person any astrologer of repute will be able to calculate on perusal of the related horoscope , the exact dasa and bhukthi the person is undergoing and accordingly to mitigate any untoward effect the navagraha krithi of the related planets may be recited or heard daily during those days till the period of the bhukthi or dasa is over .Dikshithar himself has composed the krithi on Lord Shani and advised his disciple who was suffering from stomachache to recite the krithi until his ailment was over .</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

Even though He is one of the two shadow planets viz. Raahu and Kethu His wielding power is great on human beings .

When He is afflicted , impediments visit in the form of kalathra dosha viz.problems affecting wife , puthra dosha i.e problems affecting one's children and loss of position etc .<br />
In order to ward off the ill effects of unfavorable position of Rahu a visit to Thirunaageswaram is undertaken which is situate at six kilometers from Kumbakonam enroute to Karaikal , wherein the temple of Raahu is famous for worship. Listening to the krithi on Raahu by Dikshithar is another form of receiving the grace of Raahu .<br />

Raahu's head and tail got separated .The intake of elixir made Him a demi god and asura .<br />
<br />
<b>Madhyama Kalam :=</b> <br />
<i><b>Shurpaasana sukhakaram ,shulaayudha dharakaram</b></i> := He has the seat of grain sieve and wields the spear in His hand conferring boons to people who worship Him thus .<br />

Whereever courage is required to face opposition or for bold action Mars is to be propitiated .In case of a surgery or surgeon to fight diseases Mars comes to the forefront . .Dikshithar describes beautifully the grace of Angaaraka in the following krithi .Angaaraka rules over Mesha and Vrishchika Raasi<br />
<b>Pallavi</b> :-<br />
<br />
<i><b>Angaarakam aashrayaamyaham vinathaashrutha jana mandaaram </b></i>:= I worship Angaaraka ,the one who is red in color , who is like a Mandaara tree to His devotees who surrender to Him with bhakthi .According to ancient wisdom Mandaara tree was said to be in Indra loka and those who come under its shade were said to forget all worldly cares .<br />

<br />
Budha confers the proficiency in speech ,music , maths creativity etc by occupying the benefic place in one's horoscope.The power of discrimination to accept and reject according to one's knowledge , to rise above even strong emotions is the play of Budha on our mind .In general a strong budha confers intellectual brilliance .<br />
<br />
Since this is a fast moving planet people under its sway tend to do things at a fast pace thereby overworking the adrenaline factor .Invariably such people in course of time fall a prey to acidity , ulcer in stomach etc.and some times a trip to thiruvenkaadu to propitiate the Budha Bhagavaan is undertaken .<br />
<br />

<b>Budhamaashrayaami sathatham : =</b> I propitiate always Budha<br />
<b>Sura vinutham chandra tharaa sutham : = </b>Who is worshipped by Devas , and who is the son of Thara and Chandra.<b> </b> <br />

<br />

<b>Kuja vairina</b>m : =Who is on enmical terms with Angaaraka .<br />

It is a well known fact that none of us could remember our past lives . We come across however many situations in our lives which are beyond our control . Supposing we sit and question the reason for our untoward predicament or unhealthy state of a prolonged nature /order when no reason could be attributed , as a last resort we go in search of an astrologer to ward off any planetary evils .<br />
<br />
One thing is certain that we never seek astrological help at the time when every thing goes well with us .Even in modern times with all the advancement of medical remedies and up to date scientific knowledge, our minds are put to rest only after performing the remedial measures suggested by the astrologist in respect of planetary disfavour .<br />
<br />
Dikshithar has found out an easy method of appeasing the navagrahas or the nine planets . By singing the Navagraha Kithanams diligently with devotion we may endear the grace of the planets, and especially the ones pointed out by the astrologers as in disfavour at the moment . If singing is not in the capacity of one, then it would suffice one to listen with devotion the respective krithis as sung by the eminent musicians .<br />
<br />
However it is better to know the purport of each krithi on Navagrahas with the meaning and explanation to understand better as we listen to these songs .<br />
<br />
The very first song is on Surya Bhagavan . our philosophy is " sarvam brahmamayam jagath " We therefore attribute divinity to the five elements and in no less way to the floating planets in the universe and consider them as minions of God to carry out His orders .<br />
<br />
<br />
Those who undergo impediments in respect of spouse, marriage, progeny, education, profession should worship the Sun for relief . On the whole the Sun refers to father, athma, eyes, physical stamina and help from governments as well as Eminent persons .<br />
<br />
<br />
The krithi is composed in Saurashtra ragam which is one of the auspicious ragams and which can be sung at any part of the day .<br />

<br />
The Soundarya Lahari says " Shivaha shakthya yukthaha yadi bhavathi shakthyaa prabhavithum ".<br />
Only with the association of shakthi, Shiva becomes powerful to activate the universe . We may say Shiva represents the pure consciousness who is the witness of the play of sathwa , rajas , and thamas leading to the creation of human beings . These three gunas by various combinations with the five elements create the world..<br />
<br />
The Moon , Sun , and fire are within the Shakthi and all planets constellations and Time are Her contribution .<br />
<br />
She is the will (icha) , Knowledge( jnana ) and action (kriya) <br />
<br />
She is the buddhi , the intellect , manas the mind , and ahankaara the ego .<br />
<br />
She represents wakeful, dream and deep sleep state and she is beyond these as athma witnessing these states.<br />
<br />
She directs the trimurthies to perform the creation , sustenance and destruction and after which stands beyond that .<br />
<br />
She represents the five elements viz ether , air, fire, water and earth .<br />
<br />
The moon as the mirror of reflection of Devi holds together all creation and creatures and human beings by playing on their minds<br />
<br />
In conclusion we may say that the navaavarana puja leads human beings to realize the ultimate through stage by stage acquisition of power denoted by each aavarana and worship Sri Maha Thripura Sundari at the bindu as Shiva and Shakthi in unison .<br />

Their equality is five fold; In poojas like srichakra there is Adhishtaana saamyam. In kriyaas like srishti sththi etc. Anushtaana saamyam . In dance like laasya and thandava Avasthaana saamyam . In names like Shiva Shivaa and Bhairava-Bhairavi , Naama saamyam . In red-hued complexion and the possession of the third eye , Roopa saamyam .<br />
<br />
With this keerthna the Navaavaranam is complete .The next song invokes the auspiciousness of Devi to bestow prosperity .<br />

In reality it refers to the removal of ignorance born of Maya and its resultant dwandhwa moha or the dual aspects of heat and cold, happiness and sorrow, friendship and enmity, gain and loss etc. Here the mind reaches equanimity and the right spirit for the worship of Srichakra.There are eight triangles representing eight divinities known as <i>vag devathaas</i>. The presiding deity is <i>Tripura Siddha</i>, the aspect of tripura which bestows all forms of accomplishments. According to Sri Bhaskararaya, under special circumstances the worship of whole Srichakra can be accomplished by worshipping the above said eight vasu kona along with trikona and such is the greatness of this aavarana.<br />
<br />
<b>Pallavi:=</b><br />

She is like the garden of kalpa trees for Her devotees. She is known as Chandika and She is the mother of the world.<br />
<br />
The kalpa tree gives all that is desired. If there is a garden of such trees what could not be accomplished by Her devotees! She is Chandica due to Her fierce nature in dealing with the wicked. She is the Shakthi who created this universe with all the sentient and insentient creatures.<br />

<b>AnuPallavi :=</b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i><span style="color: red;">Rakaa chandra vadanaayaam rajeeva nayanaayaam</span> </i></b></span>:= Whose face is like the full moon and whose eyes are like the red lotus.<br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Paakaarinutha charanaayaam aakaasaadi kiranaayaam</span> := </i></b>Whose feet are worshiped by Indra, the enemy of Paakaasura..She possesses the rays which can be termed as the light of lights .e.g. Shankaracharya describes Devi in the 21st sloka of Soundarya Lahari as follows:<br />
<i><b><span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: blue; font-size: small;">Thatillekaa thanveem thapana shashi vaishwaanara mayim</span><span style="color: magenta;"> </span> </b></i>i.e. Devi shines in fire, sun and the moon, having Her body like the arc of lightning and also shines in the sahasrara chakra in unison with Lord Shiva. She is the inner light in every being which identifies the lights of the sun, moon, fire etc.<br />
<br />
<b>Madhyama kala :=</b><br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Hreemkaara vipina hariNyaam hreemkaara su sareeriNyaam</span> </i></b>:= She is the deer wandering in the forest of hreemkara and She has the beautiful body known as hreemkara .<br />

<br />
Hreemkara is known as shakthi pranavam and it is considered as the mother of sounds on earth.This is also the bija manthra of the supreme sahasrara chakra.The soul is supposed to attain kaivalya by reciting this manthra at sahasrara chakra.Hreem is the combination of ha, ra, i, and ma. Hreem stands for Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva and their energies vaama, jyeshta and roudri which are the three sides of the triangle at the base of sushumna representing will, knowledge and action. Mother Lalitha generates what is indirect as the absolute to become direct through hreem syllable. She is known as <i>Hreemkara vedya. </i>In both <i> hreem and om</i> the para aspect and the apara aspect of the Brahman are indicated. Therefore She is <i>hreemkara chinthya. Hreem itself is veda and She is the upanishad for the veda.</i> So She is <i>Hreemkara vedopanishad.</i><br />
<br />
<i><b>Charanam :=</b></i><br />
<br />
<i style="color: red;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Shareerathraya vilakshana sukhathara sva athmaanu bhoginyaam</span> := </b></i>There are three types of bodies in respect of every human being, the gross, the subtle and the causal bodies. Devi is enjoying within us by dint of Her all pervasiveness the fourth state viz.<i> thuria, </i>the brahmaananda thathva.<br />
<br />
The materials from which the gross body is made is a happy mixture of the five gross elements. The gross material from which the bodies are made whether they belong to plants, animals or humans comes from the same five gross elements. But the scheme of determining the type of birth is the result of past actions of the individual. These are known as vasanas.They determine the condition regarding health, size, shape and colour. This birth is undertaken to get rid of the praarabdha karma or the result of past actions.<br />
The subtle body consists of mind, intellect, ten organs of perception and action and the five pranaas.<br />
The causal body, as it contains vaasanaas, functions in deep sleep. At that time it is in a state of non apprehensions.Thus the self is steeped in avidya or maya.<br />
<br />
These three bodies are different from the pure self which enlivens them by its very presence and it is full of bliss.<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><i><b>Virinchi hareesaana harihaya veditha rahasya yoginyaam:</b></i></span>= The Thrimurthis viz. Brahma,Vishnu and Shiva have learnt from Goddess Lalitha the powers of the rahasya yoginis, the deity each of the triangles in the Srichakra as She is the embodiment as well as the presiding deity of these yoginis.<br />
<br />
<i><b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Paraadi vaagdevatha rupa vashinyaadi vibhaaginyaam</span> :=</b></i>She is the embodiment of vashini devatha who is one of the eight vaag devathas who are known as deities of speech.These are the sources of <i>matrukaas</i>, the mothers identified with all the letters and sounds of the Sanskrit alphabets.They comprise of the fifty one letters of the Sanskrit language.Thus the eight minor triangles cover all the sound sources of the manifest world and also with the other powers associated with the srichakra's remaining seven sub chakras.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><i><b>Charaathmaka sarvarogahara niramaya raja yoginyaam</b></i></span>. := She is the goddess of Raja-yoga which can eliminate all the diseases in beings leading one to exuberance in health. Devi is the coiled power of kundalini shakthi in every being and the practice of rajayoga releases one from all types of diseases, physical as well as mental. Raja yoga is the royal path of meditation. As a king maintains control over his kingdom a man can have control over his own kingdom of the territories of mind as well as body through various practices prescribed therein and ultimately realise the self.

Prana is a certain form of matter which the <i>athma </i>organizes or builds up as a means of having experience.<br />
Jeeva is the principle of life which develops matter by guiding the energy immersed in matter. These are the<br />
upward triangles as per <i>samaya worship.</i><br />
<i>Skin, blood, flesh, brain and bone</i> are the five downward triangles representing Shakthi.<br />

<i><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Anaadi maya avidya kaarya kaarana vinoda karana patuthara kataaksha veekshanyaahaa</span> </i> :=<br />
Maya is termed as primordial cause of creation which produces avidya or ignorance in the mind of jeeva.<br />
This in turn binds the jeeva under cause and effect of actions.i.e kaarya and kaarana. The powerful side glances of Devi i.e kataaksha veekshanam, dispels the avidya and thereby release the jeeva from the<br />
samsaara,viz. birth and death in succession.<br />

The second Aavarana krithi of Kamalaamba Navaavaranam deals with Sarvaashaa Paripuraka Chakra i.e<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The Fulfiller of all desires.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">In the first Aavarana it was indicated that by propitiating various Devathaas in the Thrilokya Mohana Chakra,<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">one can obtain various powers and siddhies which will create lot of agitations in one's mind. It is like a person<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">having violent efforts to fulfill his selfish ends runs towards a mirror puffing and panting and thereby misting the mirror which he wants to see. That is why only those with a restrained mind with their goal set for reaching the realized state will be able to proceed to the next Aavarana.<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The second Aavarana is no better in inducing the aspirant to swerve from his chosen path. The Deities of this Chakra fulfill the aspirations thereby creating more and more cravings in the devotee's mind; such is the nature of Maya. However Dikshithar warns in the very beginning of the krithi that all activities born of illusion should be given up.<br />

She is the Mother of the world; Her love is supreme. She is constantly showering Her grace on Earth. She is taking care of all Her children and gives them the power to enquire with their minds, thus leading them kindly to the goal of being united with Her eternally.<br />

</a></center><br />
In Hinduism worship consists of external and internal aspects of which the external worship consists of symbols as follows:=<br />
1) Many images of deities are cast in human forms<br />
2) By utterances of Sanskrit alphabets in the form of Manthraas in respect of each deity.<br />
3) In tantric forms geometric representations are made and these are worshipped with Mudraas or hand gestures.<br />
<br />
This is especially practised in Shakthi worship and Srichakra worship is foremost among them.<br />
Srichakra is worshipped in the form of Shiva-Shakthi. There are nine triangles around a small circle in the centre called Bindu. The Bindu denotes the union of Shiva and Shakthi. Around the Bindu there are four upward triangles representing Lord Shiva, and five downward triangles representing Shakthi.<br />
These nine triangles constitute the fundamental principles of the body, the microcosm and the universe, the macrocosm.<br />
<br />
The elements in the body viz.bone, marrow, semen, prana and the jivathma denote the principle of Shiva. Skin, blood, flesh, brain and bone form shakthi tatwa or principle.<br />
On the cosmic front i.e in the universe, earth, water, fire, air and ether form Shakthi principle.Maya, knowledge, Maheshwara and Sadashiva relate to Shiva principle.<br />
<br />
Thus Srichakra denotes both the combination of Shiva and Shakthi in both the microcosm the body and macrocosm the universe.<br />
The triangles are surrounded by first a circle with eight lotus petals and another one with sixteen lotus petals.<br />
Surrounding this are three lines of circles known as thrivalaya, and a rectangular enclosure of three lines Bhupura with entries on four sides.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">Sri Kamalamba Navavaranam almost indicates the journey of self towards its realization. Symbolically each Avaranam is like a veil or sheath which has to be lifted and entered. Before reaching the inner core there are about eight Avaranas to be crossed and the ninth Avaranam is the ultimate realisation of bliss.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">As the Navavaranams are preceded by three dhyana kirthanas on Bala Ganapathy, Bala Muruga and<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Sri Kamalamba for the successful completion of each avarana from the first to the ninth, the ninth Avarana is followed by a mangala kirthanam in Sri Ragam in a benedictory note for the protection of the devotee.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Each Avaranam is composed by Dikshithar in a single case (vibhakthi) of sanskrit grammer i.e from prathama (first) to the sapthami (seventh) and the eighth Avarana is in sambodanam (addressing case). The ninth Avarana is composed in all the vibhakthis and in total there are eleven kirthanams in eleven ragas.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The Navavarana kirthanas truly reflect Sri Dikshithar's proficiency in sanskrit, his mastery of various ragas in carnatic music and his complete knowledge of Srichakra and its various Avaranas as a Srividya upasaka.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
By singing these kirthanas with diction and devotion, with right musical notes one is said to have completed the navavarana puja.<br />
<br />
<b>Pallavi </b>:=<br />
<br />
<i style="color: red;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Kamalaamba samrakshathu maam hridh kamala nagara nivaasini </span></b></i>:= May Kamalaamba protect me, She who is the one residing in the lotus town of my heart. Literally Thiruvarur is known as Kamala Nagara, but Dikshithar as a follower of Samayachara emphasises through his words that the attainment of self realization after traversing the nine sheaths viz. Avaranas starts right from here, within our body.<br />
<br />
<b>Anu Pallavi</b> :=<br />
<br />
<i style="color: red;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Sumanasaaraadhithaabja mukhi sundara mana priyakara sakhi</span></b></i> := As the noble souls among the devotees worship Devi, Her countenance shows a lotus like exhilaration and She is the beloved companion of Lord Shiva, the most beautiful among gods.<br />
<br />
<i style="color: red;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Kamalajaananda bodha sukhi kantha thaara panjara shuki</span></b></i> := Since kamalaja denotes Brahma, Devi revels in the blissfulness of sat, chit, ananda<br />
(existence, knowledge, bliss) i.e Brahmaananda. She is further compared to the female parrot caught in the cage of pranava or omkaara. She is the one who is bound by the primordial sound of AUM. Pranava means "humming" the primal sound. This can be heard by each one of us through one's nervous system like a thousand vinas playing at a distance. it is a strong inner experience held by yogins with great reverence.<br />

</center><br />
</div><br />
<i style="color: red;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Thripuraadi chakreshwari aNimadi sidheeshwari</span></b></i> := The chakra in the first aavarana is named <a class="zem_slink" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=23.84,91.28&spn=1.0,1.0&q=23.84,91.28%20%28Tripura%29&t=h" rel="geolocation" title="Tripura">Tripura</a>. There are three lines in the square enclosures. It is also known as Bhupura.The outer line signifies the ten sidhdhies starting from anima.These are anima (atomicity); laghima(lightness); mahima(mightiness); ishithwa (power over others); vashithwa (attraction over others); prakaamya (taking the desired form); bhukthi (enjoyment of power); ichchaa ( will to accomplish desires); praapthi ( attainment); sarva kaama(power to fulfill desires). These are the powers one could obtain in the starting of Srichakra meditation. The real aspirant never craves for such powers and he moves on to the next step.<br />
The middle line deals with "maatrukaas" the manthra associated deities.They are Brahmi, Maheshwari,<br />
Kaumari,Vaishnavi, Vaaraahi, Mahendri,Chamundi, Mahalakshmi. The primary functions of these deities are presiding over the eight groups of letters comprising of sanskrit alphabet.<br />
<br />
The third inner line represents the yoginis comprising of nine mudras (hand gestures) and the tenth one is thripura collectively presiding over these yoginis. The following are the centres in the body with the respective deities and each deity is invoked with the respective mantra as well as hand gesture as part of puja.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;">Sarvasamkshobini</span></b> = agitator of all.The other deities represent Sarva Vidraavani ( chasing, ) Sarvaakarshini (attracting, ) Sarvasankari ( subjugating, ) Sarvonmaadini ( intoxicating,) Sarvamahaankushe ( restraining,) Sarvakechari (moving in space, ) Sarvabeeje ( seed of all,) Sarvayone ( ovum of all.) Sarvathrikande ( the thripartite of all ) They form the nine centres in the body and the tenth is the body comprising of all these. The deities are known as prakata yoginis.<br />
<br />
<br />
<i style="color: red;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Nitya kaameshwari</span></b></i> := For ever the fulfiller of desires. Kamakoti periavaal says : In order that all our agitations are removed Ambaal holds the sugarcane bow and flower arrows in Her hand. We may recall that these are the weapons of Manmatha the God of Love. As Muka kavi says once the grace of Ambaal falls on a person he will not be tempted by the vilest of temptations as he will have balanced views on everything.<br />
<br />
<i style="color: red;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Kshithipura thrilokya mohana chakra varthini prakata yogini </span></b></i>:= After entering the bhupura, the three lined square enclosures through the portals, one comes across three circles which are known as thrivalaya (three circles). The space between the innermost line of bhupura and the outer most line of thrivalaya is known as Thrilokya Mohana Chakra. Crossing this chakra successfully without yielding to tem ptations is the pre-condition to proceed forward in the navaavarana. Here thrilokya mohana signifies the delusion in the three worlds, in the minds of people due to mental agitations.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: red;"><i><b><span style="font-size: large;">Sura ripu mahishasuraadi mardani nigama puraanadi samvedini</span></b></i>:= <span style="color: white;">Devi has annihilated demons like Mahishaasuraa, who are the enemies of Devas: She is the one known through Vedas and Puranas. </span><br />
</div><b>Madhyama kaalam</b>:=<br />
<br />
<i style="color: red;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Thripureshi guruguha janani </span></b></i>:= The deity of Thripura, Mother of Guruguha<br />
<br />
<i style="color: red;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Thripura Bhanjana Ranjani </span></b></i>:= The one who is pleasing to lord Shiva, who is the destroyer of the three worlds.<br />
<br />
<i style="color: red;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Madhu ripu sahodari talodari</span></b></i> := The one who is the sister of Mahavishnu,the enemy of Madhu the demon.<br />
<br />
The one with an abdomen as slender as the palm of a hand. Or we may say that in the adhaara chakraas Devi occupies the Manipuraka as Kameshwari.<br />
<br />
<i style="color: red;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Thripura sundari maheshwari</span></b></i> := Enchanter of the three worlds,the supreme deity of all deities.<br />

</div>This is the third dhyaana krithi of Sri Kamalamba navaavaranam. In this krithi Dikshithar describes the glorious features of Sri Kamalambika in order to bring the devotees in an apt condition to enter the first avarana. There are two sannidhies for Ambaal at Thiruvarur. The consort of Lord Shiva in Her glorious married state is known as Neelothpalaamba. Before the divine marriage, the attire of Ambaal in penance is known as Kamalambika. At Thiruvarur when one enters the North Tower, there is a separate temple on the western side wherein sits Ambaal in penance facing the northwest direction and this deity is known as Kamalambika.<br />
<br />
Following the Kaadi matha Dikshithar became a Srichakra Upasaka and composed krithis for the nine chakras on Sri Kamalamba which are known as <span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">navavarana krithis</span></span>. These krithis expound philasophical terms and their respective terms in manthra as well as thanthra in Devi upasana.<br />
<br />
<b>Pallavi:=</b><br />
<i style="color: red;"><b>Kamalambike! asritha kalpa lathike! chandike! </b></i>:= kamalambike, for those who take refuge in you, you are like the karpaka creeper yielding their wishes and you are a fierce Goddess.( who annihilates the wicked).<br />
<br />
<i style="color: red;"><b>Kamaneeya arunamsuke! kara vidrutha shuke! maamava</b></i> := Wearing a beautiful red garment and having a parrot in your hand, please protect me!<br />
<br />
<b>Anu Pallavi</b> :=<br />
<br />
<i style="color: red;"><b>Kamalasanadi pujitha kamala pade! bahu varade !</b></i>:= Your lotus feet are worshipped by Brahma and others viz Vishnu, Shiva etc.and you are a bestower of many boons ( for your worshippers)<br />
<br />
<i style="color: red;"><b>Kamalalaya theertha vaibhave! Shive! Karunaarnave!</b></i>:= The one who glorifies the Kamalalaya tank by having Her abode on its banks, the auspicious one, and an ocean of mercy, (in removing the miseries of mankind).<br />
<br />
<b>Charanam</b> :=<br />
<br />
<i style="color: red;"><b>Sakala loka naayike! sangeetha rasike!</b></i> := As the presiding deity of Srichakra, Ambaal, the Srichakra rajakumari wields all the worlds perceived realised and experienced by the jiva. She is a great connoisseur of Music. The highest and easiest form of worship is through music.That is the reason why we try to have at least a glimpse of Dikshithar's navavarana krithis and their special significance.<br />
<br />
<i style="color: red;"><b>Sukavithva pradaayike! sundari gatha maayike</b></i>!:= Proficiency in poesy is easy of access to those of poets who worship kamalambika and Devi is a bestower of such knowledge. She is beautiful and devoid of illusions or maya and represents the pure consciousness.<br />
<br />
<i style="color: red;"><b>Vikalebhara mukthi daana nipune! agha harane</b></i>!:= She is an expert in granting videha mukthi i.e attaining moksha at the end of one's life. Her nearness removes one's ego in this very life.<br />
<br />
<i style="color: red;"><b>Viyadaadi bhutha kirane! vinoda charane ! arune!</b></i> := Devi shines beautifully like the rising sun and Her rays, light red in colour radiates and permeates this world and the five elements as the primordial cause; Her enchantingly red-hued feet like lotus have a unique feature. Unlike the other gods and goddesses Devi does not show Her abhaya mudra through Her hands because all the powers of abhaya varada are contained in Her lotus feet. A person who meditates on Devi resplendant with red hued rays around would never get back to the wheel of birth and death.<br />
<br />
<b>Madhyama kala sahithyam</b>:=<br />
<br />
<i style="color: red;"><b>Sakale! guruguha karane! sada shivanthah karane !</b></i>:= Whatever we perceive and contemplate and whatever is beyond our perception and contemplation, everything is the swarupa of Devi. As Bharathi the tamil poet says, <i>yaadumaagi nindraay,</i> She stands as everything before us.She is the mother of the Great Guruguha, She is the core consciousness of Shiva. Shakthi and Easwara both are intertwined as the fragrance and flower; nectar and its sweetnes and.fire and light; that they cannot be separated.<br />
<br />
<i style="color: red;"><b>aa ka cha ta tha pa adi varne! akandaika rasa purne!</b></i>:= aa, ka,cha,ta,tha,pa etc. are the first letters of the Maathruka manthras of the vasini devathaas of the sarva roga hara chakra in srichakra which we will be dealing with, in due course, as we deal with the seventh aavarana kirthanai. Ambaal is surrounded by vaag devathaas and She is the one as the essence of unlimited bliss.<br />
<br />
In this krithi Dikshithar contemplates on Kamalamba by invoking Her various divine attributes.<br />

These babies were tendered byKarthika damsels.Ultimately Parvathi made them into a single baby with six heads and called the baby Shanmuga.Another important task of Lord Muruga was imparting the meaning of Pranava Mantra to His father Lord Shiva.

<br />
nothing but the reflection of the Pure Consciousness in itself. It is nothing short of a dream.<br />
<br />
When true wisdom dawns, this unreal appearance vanishes. The five elements are the seed;the<br />
<br />
world is a tree. The consciousness is the seed; the five elements are the tree. The seed and fruit<br />
<br />
are one and the same. Likewise the world and the cosmic consciousness is one and the same.<br />
<br />
This maya or illusion is the play of Lord Muruga.<br />
