Chinnamasta Chinnamasta (“she who is decapitated”) is a form of the Divine Mother shown as having cut off her own head. The blood that spurts from her neck flows in three streams-one into her own mouth and the others into the mouths of her two female attendants, Dakini and Varnini. At the same time, Chinnamasta she stands on the body of another female figure who is copulating with a male who lies beneath her. This image may be shocking at first, but in fact it symbolizes sublime spiritual truths, and each feature of the iconography has an important point to make. Several interpretations are given to the significance of the severed head. First, the head contains the mouth, which is the organ of language or sound. Speech (vak) or sound (sabda) is creative energy (sakti). The RIgveda notes that in the beginning, speech (vak) was coextensive with Brahman (10.114.8). The Sathapathabrahmana calls vak the unborn one from whom the maker of the universe produces creatures. In nondualistic Tantric teaching, consciousness and the power of consciousness are one and the same reality. The creative power of consciousness by which the universe becomes manifest is represented by the garlands of skulls that Chinnamasta and her two female attendants wear. Such a garland is called varnamala, a garland of letters, for each skull represents a sound of the Sanskrit alphabet. Far from being a symbol of death, the garland of skulls is in truth a symbol of divine creativity. The head is also the part of the body associated with identity. There are stories in Indian tradition of transposed heads, in which the identity of the person goes with the head and not with the rest of the body. The severed head, iconographically, symbolizes liberation. Each person’s individual identity is a state of conditioning or limitation, dependent on qualities. By severing the head, the Mother reveals herself in her true being, which is unconditioned, infinite, and boundlessly free. This idea of freedom is reinforced by her nudity, which symbolizes that she cannot be covered or contained by any garment. Because she is infinite, she is also autonomous. Chinnamasta wears an unusual sacred thread in the form of a serpent. In stead of being a symbol of Brahmanical orthodoxy, this peculiar sacred thread indicates the opposite: she stands outside of the normal rules of society and pious obligation. Also, because the serpent sloughs off its skin (its outer appearance) without dying, it symbolizes immortality and imperishability. Chinnamasta stands on the copulating couple, Kama and Rati. The name Kama here refers specifically to sexual desire; Rati means sexual union. The female, Rati, lies on top, in the same way that Kali is shown as the dominant partner with Siva. At the highest level, the feminine principle (Sakti) is consciousness in its active mode-projecting, sustaining, and dissolving the creation; the masculine principle (Siva) is the inactive ground of all existence, the eternally changeless light of awareness. To repeat the Tantric formula, without Siva Sakti would have no being, and without Sakti Siva would have no expression. Kama and Rati symbolize that same principle. They are usually shown lying on a lotus, although sometimes on a cremation pyre. There are two interpretations of Chinnamasta’s relationship with Kama and Rati. One holds that she because she stands on top of them, she has overcome sexual desire. This is the more common interpretation, and one that places a practical ideal before the spiritual aspirant. Here Chinnamastarepresents self-control and the turning of the mind away from the flesh and back toward the spirit. The other interpretation, which complements the first, has a cosmic dimension. It takes the copulative act to represent the divine creative capacity. In the Taittiriyopanishad we read that Brahman, seeing itself alone, desired (akamayata) to be many, to propagate (bahu syam prajayeyeti) (2.6.1). In commentaries on the Svetasvataropanishad (1.4) desire (kama) is also identified as the single cause of the cosmic manifestation. Thus, the Divine Mother wields absolute power. She has the freedom to manifest, or not to, as she so chooses. She controls her own desire and her own creative power. From this cosmic point of view, Chinnamasta has power over the creative urge; if she wishes to express it in the form of the universe, she is free to do so; if she wishes to suppress the manifestation, she may do that also. Each of these activities is a phase in the overall scheme of issuing forth (pravritti) and reabsorbing (nivritti); the two are the complementary halves of a single process, which is called spanda, the eternal pulsation of consciousness. The two goddesses who attend Chinnamasta play a role in the life of the cosmos. Dakini, on the left, is black; Varnini, on the right, is red. Chinnamasta, in the middle, is white. Black, red, and white represent the three gunas, or basic universal energies. Sattva, symbolized by Chinnamasta’s whiteness, is the highest of the gunas, of course, but all three belong to prakriti, the principle of materiality on which all nature rests. Nothing exists apart from the Mother, whose power of diversification takes form as the grand display of the universe. The blood spurting from Chinnamasta’s neck represents the life force (prana) or cosmic energy that animates the universe and sustains all life. The first stream flows into Chinnamasta’s own mouth. She is self-existent and dependent on no other. The streams that flow into the mouths of her attendants represent the life-force in all living creatures. All life is nourished by the Mother. In another interpretation, the three streams represent the flow of consciousness through the ida, the pingala, and the susumna, associated in turn with the Dakini on the left, Varnini on the right, and Chinnamasta in the middle. Gaining mastery over the flow of one’s own awareness through yogic practice leads to the experience of the supreme Self. In line with this interpretation, Kama and Rati represent the kundalini that has been aroused. As it travels upward along the susumna, it cuts through the various knots of ignorance. When it reaches the sahasrara, the force has grown so strong that the head can no longer contain it. The head “blows off,” and as it is shown resting in Chinnamasta’s left hand, it represents the state of transcendental consciousness. Chinnamasta’s symbolism relates overwhelmingly to ridding ourselves of wrong ideas and the limitations imposed on us by ignorance of our true nature. Despite the violence of the imagery, it is important to note that Chinnamasta does not die; she is very much alive. The message here is that the Self is indestructible (akshara) and eternal (nitya) by its very nature (svabhav). In practical terms, if the act of decapitation is viewed as an act of self-sacrifice, then the message for us is that selfless acts will not hurt us. To the contrary, any selfless act will indeed diminish the ego, but what is the ego? Only the wall of separation, limitation, and ignorance that keeps us imprisoned by our own false sense of who we are. Chinnamasta, then, in the act of self-decapitation by the sacrificial knife urges us to relinquish a smaller, powerless identity for one that is infinitely greater and all-powerful. To be rid of the ego is to cast off the veil of maya. In summary, the imagery of Chinnamasta is about the nature of the Self and the regaining of Self-knowledge, otherwise known as liberation.

Jai maa Chhinnamasta from S.korea 🇰🇷 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️

Maa you are divine, she saved my life from demon, who don't want me to live happy life. Don't want to fulfil my desire. Maa please protect from evil eyes. Keep blessing upon me. She saved me from black magic. Joy Maa.

Mata chinnamasta ne mujhe sapne me darshan diye ..or youtube dekhte time ye video mere samne achanak se aa gya ... devi mujhe ye video dekhne or ye mantra dekhne ka sanket de rahi thi

I had two dreams of Chinnamasta lately. I love her a lot. ❤️

One fact can't be ignored that Chant central deeply studied holy scriptures and then religiously with full dedication make such videos. From all points, the videos, graphics, pictures and even music used is cent percent correct as per Mahavidya. Very accurate and inspiring study done by you with no flaws. For example, hibiscus flowers are used to worship maa which he beautifully portrayed. Love and salute your work. Go ahead! Your fans are always with you!!!!

At 1.25 x speed, the tune and the rhythm becomes so aggressive and amazing in a different way that gives you goosebumps.

The served headed goddess i salute to you . She who holds a sword and her chopped head. She gives her blood to dakini and varnini and wears a garland of skulls . I call her chinnamasta.

I surrender myself to you Maa, please take me. I don’t know how to deal with this life or how to handle it and my traumas. So please take the wheel Maa. I no longer want to be in control. I want you to be fully in control Maa. I love you and Ineed you. 🌺🌹🌛⛓

ohhh goodness! it was not merely a piece of music or mantra it embraces the universe..i can feel the intensity..inexplicable ! divine,deep,oneness and what not i felt ..music, voice of singer,whole energy of song is intense,pops up several esoteric emotions...m still short of words to appreciate it..but i m sure the composer definitely has infinite grace n blessings of maa...thanks for such an experience

All mahavidya have lord shiva's appearence . For example chinmastika wear snake like her husband lord shiv shankaar( mahadev) !!!! That's why she is known as shankari mata as well as shivani mata . All mahavidya are names of adishakti mahakali who is wife of mahakal shiv shankar bholenaaath .

The most fiercest form of female force. Chinnamasta

Hey chinmastika parvati roopni . Hey maaa shiva. Hey maa ambey gauri . Apki jai hoo maata parvati . Jai mai chinmastika wife of lord mahadev shiv shankar . Jai durga half of shiv. Mahagauri ambey parvati ki jai .

When I was younger I had this experience where this feeling starting around what I now know to be the root chakra, I felt what I felt compelled to call a seed suddenly rise rapidly along my spine, as it passed my heart I was convinced I was on the verge of death and my heart skipped a beat, then it rose to the top of my head and I swore that my head had exploded, even feeling the blood running down my skull. I ran to the bathroom, my vision reduced entirely to black except outlines of things had become this beautiful set of glowing pastel colors. When I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror, my head was intact. Thus began my spiritual quest and here I am 11 years later looking up Chinnamasta and one symbolic meaning of the removed head is apparently about Kundalini awakening, which was what I deduced that experience must have been, especially after the super weird effects that I had on people after that incident, like I received a siddhi where I can easily command attention. The flow of this mantra is perfect, which is always the thing with good old Chant over here but this one is especially perfect. That sound effect, the beep in the background keeping the beat, I swear my old alarm clock made the same sound.

Jai maa chinmasta
