Devi Gita: The Feminine Bhagavad Gita Hidden Inside a Purana 🌸🕉️

Category: Shakta Scriptures & Divine Feminine Read Time: 3 minutes ⏱️

What if the Goddess Herself sang the secrets of creation, instead of Krishna on the battlefield? Hidden in the Devi Bhagavata Purana 📜 lies the Devi Gita (देवीगीता), a breathtaking "Song of the Goddess" where Mahadevi reveals Her cosmic supremacy to King Himavan! This 507-verse gem , often called the Feminine Bhagavad Gita ⚖️, flips Hindu philosophy by centering Shakti as ultimate Brahman! 🔥

Why was it "hidden" for centuries? 🤫 Let's uncover Her divine dialogue! 🧠🔓

The Setting: Himalaya’s Epic Q&A with Mahadevi 🏔️🙏

Picture snow-capped peaks: King Himavan (father of Parvati) humbly asks the Great Goddess about creation, yoga, and liberation. 

Her response? 

A universe-shattering revelation across 10 chapters of the 7th skandha.

🌌 She’s Everything: “I am the Creator, Preserver, Destroyer,” declares Devi — mountains Her bones, rivers Her veins, Vishnu Her knowledge-Shakti, Shiva Her destroying power.

🔥 Cosmic Form Darshan: Like Arjuna’s vision, She manifests Her Virat Swarupa — the infinite form pervading all existence.

🧘‍♀️ Bhakti + Jnana Path: Worship Her through devotion, but know Her as formless consciousness beyond maya.

No male sage narrates, it’s direct from the Divine Mother, making Shaktism devotees call it scripture’s crown jewel.

Shakta Power: Liberation Through Her Grace ✨🌺

In a Purana praising the Goddess as universe-origin, Devi Gita balances devotion and wisdom:

Stages of Sadhana: From ritual puja to formless meditation.

Mantra Magic: Her names dissolve karma, grant siddhis.

Modern Relevance: Empowers feminine spirituality, perfect for Navratri sankalp or Devi Mandir darshan.

Scholars rank it among Hinduism’s 64 Gitas, yet it’s Shaktas’ secret weapon for awakening Kundalini.

Chant Her Song Today! 🚀

From “hidden Purana chapter” to global awakening, Devi Gita proves Shakti reigns supreme. Recite during Chandi Path or Durga Saptashati for Her blessings!

Mandukya Upanishad - An ancient Sanskrit text on the nature of Reality

Mandukya Upanishad Mandukya Upanishad - An ancient Sanskrit text on the nature of Reality by James Swartz, guides the reader through the Mandukya. The aim of the Mandukya is to analyze the creation and arrive at truth, the limitless I. From the introduction: "The Aranyakas or Upanishads, the third portion of each Veda, commonly known as Vedanta, agrees and delivers an “absolute” knowledge that, under the right circumstances, reveals the limitless blissful Self and destroys the suffering arising from the belief in oneself as a limited being."

Mandukya Upanishad  

What is the Mandukya about?

The Mandukya Upanishad is one of the principal Upanishads in Hindu philosophy. The text is notable for its discussion of the concept of Om and the theory of four states of consciousness. Here's a brief overview: - Context and Significance: The Mandukya Upanishad is the shortest of all the Upanishads and is associated with the Atharvaveda. Despite its brevity, it's highly revered in the Vedantic tradition for its profound philosophical insights. - The Symbol of Om: A significant portion of the Upanishad is dedicated to explaining the symbol 'Om' (AUM), which represents the ultimate reality and is considered the essence of the Vedas. The text elaborates on how each part of 'AUM' corresponds to different states of consciousness and aspects of the universe. - Four States of Consciousness: The Mandukya Upanishad introduces the concept of four states of consciousness: - Waking (Jagrat): The external, material state, where consciousness is turned outward. - Dreaming (Swapna): The internal state, where consciousness is turned inward. - Deep Sleep (Sushupti): The state where there is neither desire nor dreams, and consciousness is unified. - Turiya: The fourth state, representing pure consciousness itself, beyond the previous three states. It is described as the background that underlies and transcends the other three states. - Philosophical Interpretations: The Upanishad has been the basis for various philosophical interpretations, especially in the Advaita Vedanta tradition. Adi Shankara, a revered Indian philosopher, wrote an extensive commentary on the Mandukya Upanishad, emphasizing the non-dualistic (Advaita) nature of reality. - Influence: The teachings of the Mandukya Upanishad have deeply influenced various schools of Hindu philosophy, especially those concerning the nature of reality, consciousness, and the ultimate truth. - Spiritual and Meditative Practices: The Upanishad has also been used as a guide for meditation, with practitioners often focusing on the symbol 'Om' to transcend ordinary states of consciousness and realize the unity of the self with the ultimate reality. The Mandukya Upanishad, with its profound and concise teachings, continues to be a significant text in the study of Hindu philosophy and spirituality. Read the full article

It is considered that Hindus are andhbhakts and Hinduism is denounced by derogatory remarks "drink cow piss " . I want to say , in Hinduism nobody is forced to drink cow piss and nobody does this except people in rural areas . Even in rural areas , it is rare to find nowadays . We don't follow anything blindly , especially the young generation .

What is meant by this meme ?

• In Hinduism , even if you leave this dharma or unbelieve in god , you will not go to hell . You will go to hell only on the basis of your karma . Hindu gods doesn't give a damn .

• Some say , Hinduism is so cringe and oppressive . I say , "casteism and brahminism is the major fault in Hinduism " which is irrelevant to modernisation and humanity .

• Some say , " the fucking pandits chant hanuman chalisa horrible andhbhakt" . Isn't this hurting? What's wrong in chanting mantras ? Mantras release high energy which generate our chakras and have a scientific effect on human bodies. Do you think only in Hinduism , andhbhakti is applied ? No child . In other religion , patients drink camel urine to cure COVID . Then why Hinduism is targetted among all the religions ?

• In Hinduism , it is never said that if you disbelieve in main idol , you will face sever punishment in hell (it's mentioned in books of other religion). Krishna says , disbelievers disbelieve on my wish . He never mentioned that "you will face hell for disbelieving in me". This is stupid. He says do your karma . And regarding atheists ,he said , they are diverted from the path of spiritualism and hence far away from moksha . The concept of God and spiritualism is difficult to understand .

• Hinduism and Hindus are not privileged . Hinduism is the third largest religion followed after Christianity and Islam . Hinduism is concentrated only in Indian areas and converters try to convert Hindus to other religion .

•Yes , in every religion , extremism is a curse to getting close to supreme god. But anti hindu hate exists , hindus are also hated. Western books has disrespected Hinduism by denying its identity as a religion.

• In baghwad Geeta , it's mentioned that do not use hinsa (voilence) unnecessarily (Krishna says this to Arjuna) . Attack only if you are attacked .

• some have objection regarding celebrating Ganpati festival and idol worship . This is so offensive and hypocritic. When there is halloween or Christmas or Eid people enjoy and get busy in their preparation and follow the usual tradition . The excitement that kids in the family feel when the festive season is near . This is something done for memories and cherishing joy .

• In Hinduism , references of homosexuality is already mentioned . It's the society who is mean.

Again , Hinduism has many major faults like casteism. This the reason why sects like Buddhism and Jainism were created.

It’s sad how so much of society is so afraid of depression that they alienate those who are suffering. Or any mental health condition. “Posi-vibe only” people commit heinous acts of violence without even knowing it, they think they are doing good in the world by declaring: “this is positive, that is negative”.

True understanding and compassion comes from emotional depth— true experience of the darkest dark and lightest light. They are the same force. It lives in all of us— you can’t have one without the other. One isn’t better than the other either.

A piano with only the white keys is a limited concept and the music eventually becomes dull and pointless. Same goes for a piano that only has the black keys.

What would an instrument sound like if all the mechanics and notes were the same as a piano— but the keys were not differentiated like: “thinner raised black keys/lower flat white keys” but they were all the same shape and level and just— grey? No guide to where octaves start and end. No guide to what is sharp or flat.

How different would we perceive and think from a shift that the familiar composition standard of the piano layout turns into this? What would it all sound like?
