The Great Divine or Divine Powers Dasa Maha Vidya

is a transpersonal transformation system with tools consisting of:

  • yantre
  • mantre
  • reprezentari iconografice simbolice – ce pot fi folosite ca o mandala sau o icoana de meditatie
  • și o metafizică asociată.

Aceste practici au ca scop final

supreme attainment, salvation, moksha, spiritual liberation,
in order to achieve the passage of being from the finite to the infinite,
from ignorance to knowledge, from what is transient to what is impassable,
From immanence to transcendence
starting from love, passion and concern or, even, attachment
of the world, which is still limited.

Acestea sunt de fapt aspecte din viața firească a omului care,

Although still a “man of desire”, he seeks limitlessness, salvation or … God,
starting from the experience of Knowing the world.

Vidya inseamnă cunoaștere

And that will mean, in the end,
Knowing or living identity
with the Supreme Being or God, the Lord God or the Supreme God.

That is why it is said that these Maha vidyas in number are with one end in immanence, in manifestation or in the natural life of man
And with an end in non-manifestation, in transcendence
or in God or the One Supreme Being.

Ele reprezintă un sistem complet

These 10 so-called Goddesses represent “360 degrees”,
the full circle of human experiences that can lead the authentic Seeker
from immanence to transcendence.

Therefore, regardless of the likeness of any Maha Vidya
with one or the other of the Hindu goddesses,
it is absolutely different from them
specific role it has in the
The system of the 10 Mahavidyas or Dasa MahaVidya.

Ele sunt fațete diferite ale aceleiași zeițe unice

God in his feminine hypostasis and, therefore,
any of them contains all the others,
but it manifested certain specificities more or more easily.

It’s like looking at a goddess from the left, from the right, from the top or from the bottom,
observing and adoring certain aspects first and not others
which are, in that situation, further and smaller in our view.


Vidul mental

It means nothing more than the absence of any thought and any disturbance, no matter how fine.

It is NOT a state in which we cannot think, we can even better than before,
It is a state in which we do not want to think because we feel that thinking is something coarser and inferior to the state we are in at the time.

Mental emptiness does not mean stupidity or mental blockage but a much higher capacity than thinking, which obeys it, anyway,
and through which we can access Truth, Freedom, Life and Happiness.

Dhumavati este a șaptea mare putere divină din cele 10 Maha Vidya

and is symbolically represented by a goddess, a special and very old woman
who is either in a state of detachment and rejection of what is external
or, when represented correctly, in a transcendent ecstatic state.

It is very old because it symbolizes that the mental void is transcendent,
that is, it is beyond any immanence, but, very importantly,
This woman is happy because of the infinite divine ecstasy in duration and depth that she lives and which is the nature of the mental void, shunyata.

Meaning of name

Starting from the etymology of the word “dhuma”, which means “smoke”, Dhumavati is “the one that is made up of smoke” or “the one like smoke”.
As a result, its name expresses its ability to cover with a veil the external, common, superficial reality, so that we turn our attention to ourselves, to the Self.
It helps us to orient ourselves to our depths, to what is still unmanifested, transcendent.
It distracts us from Samsara (the manifested world in which we live) and directs us to our eternal, immutable, ineffable essence, that is, the Supreme Atman Self.

Meaning of its representation

She has a slightly appealing representation, like an elderly but happy woman, apparently devoid of femininity.

This representation signifies her state of perfect detachment from the outer world, of illusion – Maya, and her orientation towards God.
It frees us from attachment and reveals to us the true spiritual reality.
It helps us learn our lessons and develop spiritual virtues, such as: detachment, patience, perseverance and forgiveness.

It is the image of a widowed woman, which signifies a state in which the feminine principle that does not need its male counterpart – the aspect of consciousness on the outside,
because he permanently lives communion with the Supreme Transcendence within himself.

This is a representation of transcendent energy, which contains all the possibilities of manifestation, but is not involved in the process of creation.
It can bring us grace in order to become aware of these latent, unmanifested energies, which, once conscious, we will be able to manifest easily.

She is presented in a carriage.

In his left hand he holds a sieve, which signifies the ability to discern between illusion and truth, and with his right hand he makes the gesture that signifies knowledge (chinmudra).

In other representations he holds a bowl of fire in one hand and a basket in the other hand.
Fire symbolizes lightning transformation through the direct calcination of impurities and limitations.
The basket, used to separate the wheat from the chaff, represents the ability to discriminate between illusion and truth.

Her carriage is the spiritual vehicle that is the shunyata mental vacuum that leads us effortlessly to realization.

Dhumavati gives us the opportunity to orient ourselves inward, to the Self, which leads us to spiritual realization.

Its hypostases or attributes

➡ It is the great divine power of emptiness, it manifests a lack of passion and sometimes disgust for the outside world, it helps us to transcend all mental fluctuations, leading us into the state of mental emptiness.

The void is the state in which we transcend any form or identification with what is manifested. The void does not mean the lack of everything, but on the contrary, it represents the deep spiritual reality that is conscious, is everywhere, is the source of whatever exists. In the state of mental void we transcend the dual state and the identity between the world, us and God appears.

➡ She is a Great Initiator, a spiritual guide, being considered the oldest and wisest of all Maha Vidya.
She possesses the perfect knowledge, obtained from many difficult life experiences.
By relating to it we can acquire wisdom and knowledge of the mysteries of life and death.
It helps us to mature spiritually by assimilating the lessons that life offers us.

➡ It represents the “darkness” or “obscurity”—the resorption into transcendence that helps us see the truth beyond appearances.

As we evolve we realize that true spiritual knowledge has nothing to do with our ordinary mind, with the ability to understand, but with getting in touch with the truth through our relationship to the Self.
Therefore, we no longer identify with our limited being, with our desires, pleasures, fears or beliefs, but we detach ourselves from them and connect with the infinite within us, which is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent. It helps us to transcend suffering and ignorance in this way.

It makes us more aware of our limited, imperfect, ephemeral condition.
And thus, being aware of the illusory reality, let us make every effort to transcend it and identify ourselves with our true nature,
The Supreme Atman Self, unlimited, immutable, infinite, thus knowing true nondual bliss.

Through communion with it we can easily transcend: suffering, frustration, loneliness, inertia, confusion, pessimism, boredom and disappointment.
We get to be free and know the truth.

It is associated with the Great Night (Maharatri) or with the terrible night of exiting the illusion, which it can transcend and reach the beatific void.

Tools by which we can relate to it

There are several ways in which we can relate to it, depending on its attributes or hypostases that we want to amplify in us.

  • The main form of identification with this transcendent power consists in ignoring our thoughts and relating to the observer, which leads us into a state of void and into the state of the last village-cit-ananda (consciousness, freedom, nondual happiness), that is, through the fundamental meditation of Anuttara.
  • By reflecting on the impermanence of life, the ephemeral character of the outside world we can also connect to it. Through jnana yoga, discrimination between illusion and truth.
  • Through practices that help us awaken our soul, which makes us more aware, not to manifest mental mechanisms, to have a great capacity for discernment and to have access to the truth.
  • By cultivating the state of being (Sat), in which we only observe the world as it is, without making judgments.
  • Another way is to work with his yantra.
