INSTALLING THE 8 ASPECTS OF BHAIRAVI

Pita Bhairavi [Mercury]

She is slim, her eyes darting left and right, naked and smeared with a yellow powder, she holds in her right hand a book, and in her her left, a mirror. She removes delusion in thought and speech.

Rakta Bhairavi [Mars]

She is red and slender, narrow-hipped with small breasts; with the body of a warrior-queen. She is naked, with a fearsome expression. With three eyes, she holds in her right hand a knife dripping blood, and in her left, a small shield. The embodiment of vigour, she severs that-which-binds.

Harina Bhairavi [Venus]

A beautiful mature woman; naked, of rounded form and slender waist; fair-haired, full-breasted and sweetly smiling. In her right hand she holds a flower, and with her left hand gives the gesture of granting boons. The embodiment of Love, she reveals the doctrine of Selflessness.

Malini Bhairavi [Jupiter]

A beautiful girl wearing the best kind of gold and jewels. Naked, with tongue outstretched and touching her lower lip. With three eyes, her right hand showers gold upon her devotee; her left hand offers a bowl of choice food. The embodiment of expansion, she destroys the distractions of attachment.

Asita Bhairavi [Saturn]

An old woman, of resentful expression and dishevelled hair. Naked, with roughened body and pendulous breasts. Smeared in black dust and very melancholy. With her right hand she holds a cord by which she restrains, and in her left hand, she offers a skull filled with offal. The embodiment of restriction, she removes all restrictions.

Aruna Bhairavi [Neptune]

Naked, with long dark hair and three gazelle-like eyes. The dream-girl of smoky hue who wears gems of opals. In her right hand she offers a bowl of smoking hot blood, and in her left hand, a skrying crystal. The embodiment of imagination, she reveals the secrets of Reality.

Karbura Bhairavi [Uranus]

A naked lady of haughty disposition, smeared with blue dust and wearing a necklace of crystal. In her right hand she holds up a stick, in a threatening manner. In her left hand she cups a child to her breast. The embodiment of control, she holds the keys to spontaneous bliss.

Nila Bhairavi [Pluto]

Naked, of violet hue, almost invisible because of her darkness, wearing gems of black jet. In her right hand she holds a bowl full of shattered glass, and in her left hand, a mask. She is the embodiment of detachment. She destroys the delusion of attainment.

CREATING THE NINE TRIANGLES

The basic idea is that the 9 triangles can be thought of as firepits or yonis, into which may be cast kleshas, or for that matter, desires.

The Triangles can be installed by placing the three Shaktis - Jnana-Kriya-Iccha, at the points of the outermost. This can be done by having 1 person reading the meditations out.

In the centre of the ninth and final triangle is the bija-point wherein Bhairavi is cojoined with Bhairava in the fiery bliss of union.

108 REPETITIONS OF MANTRA

AUM BHAIRAVI SA’HAM

9 SACRIFICES

Here, we identify the 9 firepits [i.e. triangles] which each of the planetary shaktis:

Pita Bhairavi Mercury Thought
Rakta Bhairavi Mars Vigour
Harina Bhairavi Venus Love
Malini Bhairavi Jupiter Wealth
Asita Bhairavi Saturn Restriction
Aruna Bhairavi Neptune Imagination
Karbura Bhairavi Uranus Control
Nila Bhairavi Pluto Detachment

The meditation may be repeated - this time with the Shakti emerging out of the flames. The idea here is that each person may offer up a sacrifice, or ask a boon of each Shakti.

The 9th Triangle is the firepit which joins/feeds the flame of Bhairavi-Bhairava cojoined in bliss. The sacrifice is Ego.

The Triangles are Yonis or Firepits. Into each of the 8 firepits in turn, we can cast an ‘obstacle’ related to each of the above, the ninth being ego. The Triangular firepit is created by the installation of Jnana-Shakti (Sun), Kriya-Shakti (Moon) and Iccha-Shakti (Fire). Litanies for these shatkis are given in Tantra Magic.

Exit as in flame-meditation in Dattatreya Rite.
