ShivKali Oracles – Adharvana Kali/Prathyangira

We all know the story of Ramayana. Meghnaad Indrajeet was a great warrior and played important part in the war. You might remember that before every war, Indrajeet would worship his deity Nikumbhila in his cave. Indrajit is one warrior who used magic and sorcery and he gained such power from sadhana. Devi Pratyangira or Adharvana is none other than this Devi Nikumbhila. She is a form of Tara Ma (who is aother manifestation of Kali). Prathyangira has four arms holding Trishul and Damaru in the right side and in the left side, she is holding a Mundamala (garland of severed heads of demons) and Ma Kali (yes, you read right- she is holding Ma Kali on one hand). Devi holds fire, moon and snake (Basuki Naag) on her head and rides a lion. She has snake in place of hair. From the description, you may say that she is also a form of Ardhanarishwar Shiv (because she has Trishul, damaru, moon, holds Kali, has snakes). Prathyangira is a secret form of Tara and even a Kali Sadhak is afraid to worship her, the reason being her bad temper. If her worship is not done properly, the full family of Sadhak will be demolished. Any Kali sadhana needs a guru (this is why I am not writing any mantra here), a normal family person should never worship this form of Kali in home. A person who commits dishonesty, should not worship this form. If an honest sadhak worships this devi, his life will be full of abundance.

ShivKali Oracles – Adya Kali

The Adya Strotram is a beautiful verse written by Annada Thakur, who was an ayurvedic practitioner and a sage in Bengal. ‘Adya’ literally means something which is the most ancient. Adya Kali is Adya Shakti Mahamaya.

The Adya Stab tells that if you recite the strotra, you will become dear to Vishnu, there will not be any fear of death, diseases will disappear, wars will be won and success will kiss your feet. Now, you have to understand the implications of this strotra. It is not like only recitation of this strotram will give you the entitlement of being a ‘punyabaan’ or ‘punyabati’. Reciting this strotram won’t give you a job or cure your diabetes. If this was the case, there would not have been a life insurance or hospital industry; everyone could recite strotra and fix issues. Furthermore, if Adya Strotra was the answer, then Sri Krishna would have recited the hymns to Arjun instead of giving the Karmayog lectures in the Geeta. Because Adya has been since the start. So, Adya Strotra does not talk about such Bhoutik or materialistic gains. When it talks about winning or curing, it talks about Adhyatmik aspects. Bhoutik aspects relate to maya and it severes one from outer world. Adhyatmik means Adhik+Atmik, which means it tells one to see outside oneself, only then one can gain Chetana (Awareness). If you recite such strotra and still feel fear of failure or death, you are still living inside maya. Such self-evaluation is necessary so that you can take proper action (do Karma) and choose the right adhyatmik path for spiritual development. The famous temple of Adya Kali is Adya Peeth in Kolkata.

What are the Veds in Hinduism?

There are four Veds in Sanatan culture that consist of religious thoughts and principles of Hinduism. Vedas are written by many sages over many years. The Rig Ved is the oldest Ved, which is at least 8000 years old. However, it is noteworthy that knowledge of Ved was transferred through speech (hence it is called ‘Shruti’) and not in written form. Therefore, the actual origin time of the scriptures are much before 8000 years. The Veds consist of concept like Brahman, Vedic deities like Agni, Indra, Soma, Surya, Saraswati, Usha etc. It also has concepts of rebirth, purushartha, astrology, Ayurved etc. The 4 Veds are-

  1. Rig Ved – Consists mostly of hymns glorifying Vedic Gods, ways of yagna and meditation.
  2. Saam Ved – Consists of shlokas and music (Saam Gaana) to glorify and praise different deities.
  3. Yaju Ved – Talks about processes of yagna, rituals, ceremonies.
  4. Atharva Ved – Has different magical spells, occult methods.

The INDIAN TAROTS – King of Swords

The King of Swords sits calmly in his throne and looks at the reader. This illustrates his master intellect and ability to get things done.

Armed with his sword, he tackles his problems head on. This level of authority is indicative of all king cards. The King holds his sword in his right hand and points it straight up. This illustrates his desire for truth and the moral backbone behind his intelligence.

There are butterflies in his throne. The butterflies here illustrate the dynamism of the sword suit through their metamorphosis. The background is the Shambhala or Shangri-La or Gyanganj, which is described as a mysterious place surrounded with snowy mountains in the Himalayas as per the Tibetan, Buddhist and Indian folklores. As per the folklore, Shambhala is a paradise on earth, cut off from rest of the world. People of Kali Yuga won’t be able to visit there and the citizens of Shangri-La live a peaceful and eternal life. The King of Swords is a rightful emperor of this mysterious place due to his strong ethical nature. As per Tibetan culture, butterflies symbolize impermanence, joy, freedom from worldly fixation and the blissful inner peace of enlightenment. They represent the beautiful and fleeting nature of life and awakening. Beside the butterfly, there are two sickles carved. On a fundamental level, they represent the harvest. On a deeper level, they illustrate the moon and the matriarchy. It means that masculinity and femininity are coexisting qualities and every human possesses both qualities together.

The King wears a light blue dress. The colour not only evokes the element of air, it also traditionally symbolizes spiritual maturity in Tarot. The trees in the background illustrate the fertility found in spiritual maturity. While other court cards in the minor arcana are in wastelands, the sword court cards are in an open green field, suggesting the potential for great things.

 

Upright meaning

The upright King of Swords represents authority, leadership, and intellect. It suggests that you’re able to think critically and make decisions with confidence and authority. The card encourages you to use your analytical skills and your ability to communicate effectively to lead others.

Reverse meaning

The reversed King of Swords can indicate abuse of power, manipulation, or a lack of fairness. It suggests that you may be using your intellect and authority to control or manipulate others, or that you’re not being fair in your decision-making. The card encourages you to be mindful of how you use your power and to prioritize fairness and justice in your leadership.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Queen of Swords

The Queen of Swords uses her master intelligence to help those around her. Instead of using her sword to cut others down, she uses it to defend other. The queen rules unbiasedly, and commands the element of air to breathe life into the world she lives in.

Unlike the charging Knight of Swords, the Queen is able to enact her vision while stationary on her throne. This position speaks volumes on her authority as she manages other people to do the work for her. Calm and collected, the Queen reminds us not to be brash but to be calculated in our intellectual pursuits. The crown that the Queen wear is a symbol of her authority on earth. Butterflies on her throne illustrate the lightness of her mind. She is not bogged down with details or chained to some previous trauma that is causing arrested development. Her mind is free and open to new ideas.

The Queen is in the beautiful Gulmarg Valley (valley of flowers) in Kashmir. There are butterflies in the Queen’s throne and around her. Reiterating the qualities of the crown, the butterflies illustrate the dynamism of the sword suit through their metamorphosis. As per Tibetan culture, butterflies symbolize impermanence, joy, freedom from worldly fixation and the blissful inner peace of enlightenment. They represent the beautiful and fleeting nature of life and awakening. There is a child’s head carved in the flag. This could represent the childlike innocence and sense of wonder necessary to wield your intelligence masterfully. A child’s head could also illustrate the subconscious part of our intelligence.

Beside the child’s head, there are two sickles carved in the throne. On a fundamental level, they represent the harvest. On a deeper level, they illustrate the moon and the matriarchy. 70% Indians consume wheat (atta), Northern states like Punjab, Uttar Pradesh are major producer of this crop. The Queen holds her sword in her right hand and points it straight up. This illustrates her desire for truth and the moral backbone behind her intelligence. While the previous court swords extended beyond the limits of the card, the Queen requires no performance of her authority.

 

Upright meaning

The upright Queen of Swords represents clarity, independence, and objectivity. It suggests that you’re able to see the truth of a situation clearly and make decisions based on logic and reason. The card encourages you to prioritize your own needs and to be independent in your thinking and decision-making.

Reverse meaning

The reversed Queen of Swords can indicate coldness, harshness, or a lack of empathy. It suggests that you may be too detached or analytical in your thinking, or that you’re not considering the emotional needs of others. The card encourages you to find a balance between logic and empathy in your decision-making.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Knight of Swords

The Knight of Swords is the most energetic card in all of tarot. The knight and horse leap into the card, charging against the wind to some unknown destination. This card encourages us to take charge and to determine our own future with the same level of passion.

As always, the knight here is a symbol for dynamic action. This knight takes that symbolism literally and is charging forward like a gust of wind. The knight in the swords suit is the most energetic and thus encourages you to be the most energetic you have ever been.

The knight in the swords suit is one of the most heavily armored knights in the minor arcana. While the knight is rushing into battle, he does so deeply prepared. Maybe, the knight is a soldier, trying to defend the land of Bharat from foreign invasion or even terrorists in POK and bring peace to the normal citizens through sheer force. Like the sword in the Page card, the sword here extends beyond the limits of the frame, suggests a larger-than-life quality in the weapon.

Like the knight, the horse is rushing into battle with wind in its hair. The great horse not only adds to the powerful energy in the card, its white colour suggests that the knight’s battle charge is pure of spirit. In juxtaposition with the masculine, dynamic energy, the horse’s reins have a butterfly design on them. While this design seems in conflict with the knight, it helps illustrate the airiness of the card. Additionally, the butterflies reiterate the card’s dynamism through their metamorphosis. The soldier is eager to bring change in situations. The entire environment in the card matches the energy of the knight. For instance, the trees in the background bend to the force of the wind. The direction of the trees reveal that the knight is charging against the wind.

 

Upright meaning

The upright Knight of Swords represents action, ambition, and decisiveness. It suggests that you’re ready to take action and pursue your goals with determination and confidence. The card encourages you to use your intelligence and analytical skills to make quick and effective decisions.

Reverse meaning

The reversed Knight of Swords can indicate recklessness, impulsiveness, or aggression. It suggests that you may be acting without thinking things through or that you’re being overly aggressive in your pursuit of your goals. The card encourages you to slow down, think things through, and consider the consequences of your actions.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Page of Swords

The Page of Swords uses the swords as a weapon for the exploration of thought. It is an encouragement to seek out new experiences and to take risks. With the page’s flowing hair and with the birds in the background, it also lays the groundwork for the other face cards to illustrate the element of air.

The page’s posture is one of the many paradoxes found in Tarot. His body is facing the right of the card while his head is facing the left of the card. The page is thus in the past and future, mimicking the figure in the Seven of Swords without the underlying thievery. The page also sets an example for the other face cards, for, despite his small frame, he is able to wield the sword like a master. Similar to his posture, the page’s feet are a paradox. One foot is planted firmly on the ground while the other one is free to move around. This reveals the page’s agility and grace. He can be on the offensive with his sword as well as on the defensive with evasive manoeuvres.

The page’s hair waves gloriously in the wind as he stands in the valley of Kashmir. This illustrates the element of wind found throughout the sword’s suit. It also reiterates the page’s agility previously seen through his feet. The page is as light as air and as powerful as wind. As previously mentioned, despite the page’s small frame, he wields the sword like a master. This is more impressive when one considers the size difference between the page and the sword. Extending beyond the limits of the card, the sword is larger than life.

 

Upright meaning

The upright Page of Swords represents curiosity, intellectualism, and communication. It suggests that you’re eager to learn and explore new ideas, and that you’re able to express yourself clearly and effectively. The card encourages you to use your mental agility and curiosity to gain knowledge and understanding.

Reverse meaning

The reversed Page of Swords can indicate dishonesty, manipulation, or a lack of communication. It suggests that you may be struggling to express yourself or that you’re using your intellect for negative purposes. The card encourages you to be honest and transparent in your communication and to avoid deceitful behaviour.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Ten of Swords

The Ten of Swords marks the end of the numbered card in the swords suit. Naturally, therefore, the card is about endings. It depicts a dead man in a battlefield; maybe this is a depiction of the lost lives in Kashmir riots that are caused by religious and political tension. Rather than harping on the lost, however, the card encourages us to focus on the peace, glory, and rest that comes with endings.

A red cloth covers a part of the figure’s body. Like in most tarot cards, the color red symbolizes passion and zeal. The cloth is a representation of the figure’s strength and courage in the battle he has fought. The figure is making the hand gesture for Vitarka Mudra, which is related to consciousness and knowledge. This further iterates the glory underneath the macabre scene. The lost life wants everyone to become conscious.

The darken sky is a reflection of the darken room in the Nine of Swords. It is the dark night of the soul played out in reality. The sky illustrates the atmosphere of the macabre found in the card. Juxtaposing the darken sky is the rising morning underneath it. The yellow sky represents the hoped-for enlightenment depicted in the Nine of Swords. The morning further iterates the hidden glory underneath the figure’s death. Beyond the figure’s body is a vast water body, like the Daal Lake in Kashmir valley. Unlike oceans, the water is still without any hint of waves. The stillness of the water directly relates to the stillness of the body. Indirectly though, the water hints at a level of peace that the figure must be feeling now that he has died.

 

Upright meaning

This card often represents betrayal, endings, and hitting rock bottom. It suggests that you may be experiencing a painful loss or a sense of defeat, and that you may need to accept that something has come to an end. The card encourages you to find a way to pick up the pieces and to move forward.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate healing, recovery, or a new beginning. You may be finding ways to heal from past wounds or to start over in a new direction. The card suggests that you may need to focus on finding hope and positivity in your life.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Nine of Swords

The Nine of Swords depicts a figure waking up from a bad dream. Above him hovers the nine swords. The card is an allusion to the dark night of the soul where a person faces an existential crisis. While the card contains pain, it also contains the hope that this dark night will turn into a bright morning of enlightenment.

The figure in the card is seen in a state of shock and epiphany. He buries his face in their hands to reveal his disbelief. This posture illustrates the painful aspect of enlightenment, sometimes referred to the dark night of the soul. The nine swords float above the figure, as if they are a representation of the figure’s epiphany. The swords are notably caught in the light, creating a juxtaposition between them and the black background. The arrangement of the swords conveys a sense of pattern and design to the figure’s epiphany.

The black background further illustrates the concept of the dark night of the soul. It tells of the suddenness and unexpected nature of spiritual epiphanies. Through the black background we are able to see the void within the figure’s consciousness. Along the bedframe, there is carved people fighting each other. This carving illustrates the conflicting voices within the figure’s psyche. Such a disharmony naturally comes from states of spiritual epiphanies. On one hand, you have your old beliefs and on the other you have your new encounter.

If the carving represents the figure’s disharmony, the roses on the bed represent the figure’s harmony. Like a rose, there is an undeniable beauty in spiritual revelations. They can shock us out of our sleep and also comfort us back to rest. There are various zodiac symbols on the quilt. Like the arrangement of the swords the zodiac symbols (Raashi) point to a divine plan or design. Spiritual epiphanies naturally come from an endorsement of the cosmos.

Upright meaning

This card often represents anxiety, fear, and worry. It suggests that you may be experiencing a sense of dread or unease, and that you may be struggling to find peace of mind. The card encourages you to take steps to address your worries and to seek support if needed.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate relief, release, or a reduction in anxiety. You may be finding ways to cope with your worries or to let go of past fears. The card suggests that you may need to focus on finding a sense of peace and tranquillity in your life.

The INDIAN TAROTS – Eight of Swords

The Eight of Swords depicts a bounded figure surrounded by a cage of swords. This card appears whenever we feel trapped by outside forces. While the figure appears to be in a hopeless situation, the card allows for the possibility that they could escape their bonds and be free.

The Eight of Swords depicts a woman bound from head to toe. These bounds suggest a limit of thought. They are a manifestation of her caged mind. While it appears that she is trapped, the bounds look easily escapable because of its thinness. This implies that the woman’s mental limits can be overcome through self-realization.

Along with the bounds, the woman is blindfolded. The blindfold limits the intellect. In order for the woman to reach spiritual maturity, she must first remove the blind so that she can tie it on her own. The eight swords around the woman reiterate the parody of the blindfold. The swords should be tools used by the woman to cut the binds; they should be extensions of her. Instead, they trap her and limit her mobility. The swords emphasize the need to reclaim oneself from self-delusion. Water near her feet symbolises subconscious. It tells that though she is physically bound, her mind is still free.

The woman’s red clothing matches the paradox found in the clothing of the man in the Seven of Swords. The red illustrates the woman’s passion and zeal; however, the surrounding environment suggest that her emotions are consuming her. The card thus calls for a balance. There is water behind the woman. Like most of the water symbolism found in the Swords suit, the water here illustrates the woman’s connection to her subconscious. While her body is trapped, the woman still has the power of her mind; it is up to her to use it to set herself free. Behind the woman is a large castle. The security of the castle is juxtaposed with the insecurity of the sword cage. The castle is built to protect a person while the swords and binds are built to limit the woman. The castle furthers the interpretation that the woman needs to regain control of her surroundings and to use them for her advantage rather than her disadvantage.

 

Upright meaning

This card often represents feeling trapped, restricted, or powerless. It suggests that you may be limiting yourself or allowing others to control you, and that you need to find a way to break free. The card encourages you to trust your instincts and to find a way to regain your power.

Reverse meaning

This card can indicate freedom, release, or a shift in perspective. You may be finding ways to overcome your limitations and to break free from any negative patterns or beliefs. The card suggests that you may need to take a leap of faith and trust that everything will work out.
