चन्द्रघन्टा

Phase - III

-----------------

ChandraghanTA / चन्द्रघन्टा is The third form of : देवी / Devi, Consciousness, which is revealed in the hearts of all sentient beings, - Resplendence / Radiance, and the Sound, and again, the same is also experienced by the individual as the indwelling Spirit, in terms of the :

 "I AM" sense, by all.

Gita, verse 22, Chapter 10, points out :

वेदानां सामवेदोऽस्मि देवानामस्मि वासवः ।

इन्द्रियाणां मनश्चास्मि भूतानामस्मि चेतना ।।२२।।

सामवेद  / sAmaveda is devoted to sound and the singing the mantra.

"I AM" सामवेद / Samaveda, amongst the Veda.

देवता / DevatA is the आधिदैविक / Divine sphere of the  existence, where each स्वर / note of music and each वर्ण / letter of the matrix of the spoken / written वर्ण, letters is the manifest form of the Divine in particular name and form. 

Amongst them, वासवः / Indra is the highest. 

And again, "I Am", verily the इन्द्र / Indra, amongst all these various DevatA-s, who dwell in the heart of man :

हृदिस्था देवताः सर्वा हृदि प्राणाः प्रतिष्ठिताः ।

हृदि त्वमसि यो नित्यं तिस्रो मात्राः परस्तु सः ।।

(शिवाथर्वशीर्षम् ३)

In the इन्द्रियाणि / senses, "I AM" the  मनः / mind, and mind is the moon. The physical moon is the same as the mind of man. Just as the Physical Sun is the आत्मन् / Self of the material-world.

The physical sun and the physical moon are located in the material-sky, but the mind and self reside in the heart or the आत्मन् / Self.

I AM the Consciousness and I AM the Self.

And last but not the least is the consciousness, be it the physical, the bodily, the objective of the various objects in the world, or one's own mind, where one is aware / conscious of one's own existence, of the "I AM". Spontaneously, always, without any effort whatsoever.

"I AM" this Consciousness of one's existence in all beings.

Another description of the same is given by the words : नाद / nAda and बिन्दु / bindu, in the sacred texts.

नमो चन्द्रघन्टायै सर्वदा हृदि स्फुरति या ।

आभाति स्वनति सर्वेषां स्वघोषेण नित्यशः ।।

I bow to  चन्द्रघन्टा / ChandraghanTA, Who shines and announces Herself, in the heart of all, The Consciousness, Who declares Her presence by Her Radiance and Her Voice.
