The Heart of the Yogini

From this arises the Vishvalahari world-wave location, and the manifestation of the Baindava pertaining to the bindu (triangle) chakra, which is composed of the triad of Mothers. At that moment, the reflective supreme kala art/energy first assumes the form of Shanta peace and Ambika motherly energy. This is also called the Para Vak supreme speech. When this supreme speech wishes to manifest the world residing within itself in the form of a seed, it takes the form of the hook-like Vama left-turning/generative energy, due to its act of "vomiting" forth the world. This Vama energy, joined with the energy of will, transforms into Pashyanti Vak the seeing speech. In the same way, the union of Jyeshtha eldest energy and the energy of knowledge expresses Madhyama Vak intermediate speech. The straight line of the Shringata triangle provides the understanding of this. It is the cause behind the maintenance of the world created by the Vama energy; it sustains it. Upon the desire to dissolve the world, that energy re-enters its Baindava form. Then, with the creation of the right line of the triangle, its form becomes completely clear. This is the activity of Raudri terrible/fierce energy. Joining with the energy of action, it becomes Vaikhari Vak spoken speech, which makes the expansion of speech vocal. Thus, in the Baindava (bindu and triangle) chakra, the meditation and worship of the four energies starting with Ambika, and the four energies starting with Shanta, as well as the four types of speech starting with Para, are performed, considering them to be one with the self.

In the energies starting with Ambika (emerging from Shiva, the light-aspect) and those starting with Shanta (emerging from Shakti, the reflection-aspect), this whole world remains hidden like a tree within a seed. From these very energies, the creation of the seats (pitha) named Kamarupa, Purnagiri, Jalandhara, and Oddiyana takes place. These seats are situated in the internal places called kanda, pada, rupa, and rupateeta. The kanda or body is called the foundation (adhara); the pada or hamsa swan/soul is called the heart; the rupa or bindu is the space between the eyebrows; and rupateeta is the brahmarandhra opening at the crown of the head. This is the place of pure consciousness. The shapes of these seats are respectively like a square, six-pointed, crescent moon, and triangle, because they are symbols of the elements of earth, air, water, and fire respectively. Their colors are yellow, smoky, white, and red.

In these seats, the Svayambhu self-born, Bana arrow, Itara other, and Para supreme lingas phallic symbols/marks of divinity are situated. The Svayambhu linga is yellow in color. It is triangular in shape and is covered by the sixteen vowels from 'a' to 'visarga'. The Bana linga is the color of a bandhuka flower. It is triangular and is covered by the sixteen consonants from 'ka' to 'ta'. The Itara linga is white. Its shape is round like a kadamba fruit and it is covered by the sixteen consonants from 'tha' to 'sa'. The Para linga, which is full of supreme light, has no shape. It cannot be seen by the senses, so it is understood through the bindu. It is covered by all the letters from 'a' to 'ksha'. It is the essence of supreme bliss and has an eternally arisen form.
