This composition of Muthuswamy Dikshitar in Raga Thodi is the Dhyana Kirtanam, or the invocatory song of the Kamalamba Navavaranams, inspired by the Goddess Kamalamba in Tiruvarur. These nine esoteric compositions, rooted in a deep understanding of the science of mantras (sound) and its impact on the human system, are not only songs but tools to reach one's ultimate nature. • The Science Behind Kamalamba Navavaranams • The Sri Yantra is one of the most celebrated yantras in Indian spiritual traditions, and is part of a form of Devi worship called the Sri Vidya Upasana. Yantra and mantra together represent the union of form and sound. They are inseparable. • The Sri Yantra is composed of nine intersecting triangles, symbolizing the unity of Shiva and Shakti, which surround a central point known as the bindu. Circumscribing the triangles are an 8-petaled lotus and a 16-petaled lotus, which in turn, are circumscribed within 3 concentric circles. This entire configuration is framed by a square. • Starting from the outer square and moving inwards to the central bindu, the Sri Yantra is divided into nine avaranams (layers/coverings) representing the stages of one’s progression from the material to the subtle - a movement beyond limited existence towards one’s ultimate union. Each avaranam represents a unique quality and has specific deities and mantras to invoke the Goddess. • It is in this context that Muthswamy Dikshitar, one of the foremost Carnatic composers from the 18th century, composed the Kamalamba Navavaranams. Each composition represents a specific avaranam and Yogini (deity), having particular qualities, and more importantly, a specific place in the Sri Yantra. This is the invocatory song of the set. • Learn Classical Arts with Project Samskriti: • https://isha.co/ps • Follow Us: • / project.samskriti • / ishasamskriti • Isha Foundation is a non-religious, not-for-profit, public service organization, which addresses all aspects of human well being. • http://www.ishafoundation.org/ • Learn more about Sadhguru • http://www.isha.sadhguru.org
