Chapter 11 – Pidaani Anga Devatha Swaroopam (Continued)

Naama Manthram: 373-464 (91 Manthraas)

As we learn further, we will gradually realize that our body (though it is perishable) is the divine gift itself. Once a devotee realizes that each and every limb are occupied by a divine power, we will be free from bondage.

In this Chapter, another important function is explained called “Rahoyagam”. Offering everything to the lotus of feet of Paramathman who resides in the Sahasraara Pathmam or Brahma Ranthram. The fire used here is called “Chidhagni” a subtle fire of thoughts. Those who do this Kriya will be blessed by Parasakthi. She is witnessing every activity of this universe, therefore, there is no one to witness Her functions.

While doing this Kriya (Raho Yagam), a true devotee will be promoted to know that Siva and Sakthi are sharing 6 important Limb and its Merits viz: Siva occupies Heart, Head, Nose, Eyes, Ears and Tounge whereas, Sakthi produce 6 divine merits known as Aiswaryam, Veeryam, Kerthi, Sri, Gnanam and Vairagya that produce Sarvagnatha, Thrupthi, Nithya Sudha Bhodham, Swathanthratha, Naasa Rahitha Sakthi and Anantha Sakthi. Those who achieve these 6 merits will be known as Bhagavan, in other words, the one who possesses these 6 qualities can be called as God or Bhagavan. This shows Her authority to create Gods and Goddesses also elevate human beings to Deva and Godhood.

Hereafter the devotee reaches the stage of Nirvana and makes him/her liberate from transmigration.

She is attended by her 16 divine servants known as Thidhi Nithya Devis known as “Kameswari, Bhagamalini, Nithyaklinna, Bherunda, Vahni-Vasini, Maha Vajreswari, Sivadhoothi, Thwaritha, Kulasundhari, Nithya, Neelapathaka, Vijaya, Sarvamangala, Jwalamalini, Chithra and Thripura Sundari. In other words, a realized devotee will achieve these 16 Devis as his 16 divine Auras and shine like stars.
