Shivanandanagar, Distt. Tehri-Garhwal, Uttaranchal, Himalayas, India PUBLISHERS’ NOTE Sri Swami Sivanandaji. Maharaj was a healer of the body in his Purvashram (before he entered the Holy Order of Sannyasa). He was a born healer, with an extraordinary inborn love to serve humanity; that is why he chose the medical profession as a career. That is why he edited and published a health Journal “Ambrosia”. That is why he went over to Malaya to serve the poor in the plantations there. And, strangely enough, that is why, he renounced the world and embraced the Holy Order of Sannyasa. He was a healer of the body and the soul. This truth is reflected in the Ashram which he has established in Rishikesh. The huge hospital equipped with modern instruments was set up and the entire Ashram where all are welcome to get themselves healed of their heart’s sores and thoroughly refresh themselves in the divine atmosphere of the holy place. Sri Swamiji wanted that all systems of healing should flourish. He had equal love and admiration for all systems of healing. He wanted that the best of all the systems should be brought out and utilised in the service of Man.

Till date, a holy visit to Kanchi ever sustains lasting experience; the unity of the roads connecting the followings of Varada Raja Swami and Ekamareshwara is unique. And the outstanding ability to unify the routes of Shiva and Vishnu are truly amazing as reinforced by the Maha Shakti Devi Kamakshi’s outstanding presence at Kanchi; in the Ultimate Analysis one needs to deeply meditate the Power par excellencewhich is ‘Avyatam Shasvatam Vishnum Anantam Ajam Avyayam’ or the UltimateTruth is Unmanifested, Boundless, All Pervasive, Endless, Unborn, and Everlasting.! I am ever beholden to the lasting blessings of HH and the confidence that he has reposed in me to let larger audience reach in translating the original and present the same as Essence of Shri Kamakshi Vilasa into English.

Armor of the Gods Page 2 Armor of the Gods We can wear the gods. Anyone can sit in the presence or field of a deity to connect with them, exchange energy, received gifts and insights, make offerings. This practice is common to spiritual systems. In Witchcraft it's called drawing down the moon, in Tantra it's called deity yoga, in Hellenistic ritual it's called theurgy or god-work, in Golden Dawn ceremonial it's called assumption of god-form. In all these practices you call a single deity. There is another practice of wearing the gods. This form maps multiple deities onto the human body. The effect of this practice is to build up an energy net in and around in the subtle body to protect the practitioner physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. In Tantra it's called nyasa, which means the act of placing a kavacam, a word translated into English as armor. I perform three specific practices. One comes from the Tantric Hindu tradition and is practiced today by millions of people. The second comes from the Kemetic tradition which is being revived in the African American community and by sincere Pagan and magical practitioners.

    Significance of Navratri The 9 divine nights are significant with three days each devoted to worship of Ma Durga- the Goddess of Valour, Ma Lakshmi – the Goddess of Wealth and Ma Saraswati- the Goddess of Knowledge. The tenth day celebrated on 08 October is know as Vijay Dashmi (Vijay meaning victory and Dash means ten) is to worship, chant and pray to the mother giving thanks to her for showering her mercy upon us and to celebrate the victory that we have achieved over our enemies which as the vices contained within ourselves. One should make full use of these 10 days to take stock of one’s life and make changes to be a good, loving and caring person. Observing the period ritualistically and not wanting Mother Durga to assist and free us from her clutches of repeated birth, old age, disease and death will mean that this is a religious observance and will not benefit us in anyway whatsoever. The word Durga is derived from the word Durg which means prison house. Therefore the name Durga refers to that great personality who is in charge of and controller of the Karma of every human being on this planet. Our prayer to the mother should therefore be that she frees us from this prison so as to allow us to go back home, back to Godhead. She is compared to the warden of a prison who will recommend parole to that person who has asked to be forgiven for his offences and have made amends to lead a better life.
