Anandabhairava bhairavi beeja- A Thought

The main central mantra chanted by a srividyopasaka is the guru paduka. Guru is the all causing force shriiguruh sarva kaarana bhootaa sakthih. His paduka or sandals are impressed on the head of the shishya during shambhavi deeksha. The word paduka means that which sustains (paalana), removes ill effects (durita kshalana). Thus this mantra is the first one to be chanted on waking up and last one to be chanted before going to bed. The Mantra has a unique beeja called the aanandabhairava bhairavi beeja. The uddara runs: shiva sakti samvarta pupancama purandhara varayooM for the ananda bhirava. Decoding this shiva is ha; sakti is sa; samvarta the end fire, denotes the last of the alphabets ksha; pu pancama fifth syllable of the pa series ma; Purandhara is indra his beeja la; va ra yoom as such. Thus we find the beeja as hskmrvryooM, it is also called the navaatmeeshvara beeja. Ananda bhairavi uddara: sakti shivaadi varayeeM, decoding the same bijas as said above, but ending with yeeM, thus the bija is now shkmrvryeeM, also called navaatmeeshvaree bijam. Since utterance of all consonants without vowels will be difficult the sages have approved adding a in the consonant. Thus we say the beejas as hasakshamalavarayooM and sahakshamalavarayeeM. Traditional meaning: ha denotes shiva and sa denotes sakthi. ksha is the meru ( the akshamala japa will have ksha as the meru- ka is sathi tatava the cit sakthi and sha shanda is jada sakthi, thus we find maya bija as a mixed cit and jada sakti), denoting the vastness, huge centre point, which is maya the differentiative knowledge. ma is the jiva. la, va, ra, ya are denoting the elements prthvi, jala, agni and vayu. The first element space is inferred. oom is the left ear signifying the sakti pradhanya knowledge as heard from the preceptor. On a whole reading the above interpretations in a single line; jiva denoted by ma in the universe denoted by the elements la va ra and ya, aspires to realize the unity of siva

sakti ha sa in the same universe seen by him, by crossing over the maya denoted by ksha with the help of scriptures denoted by oom. Another aspect: the nava nadas from bindu to unmani are also represented by the single syllables of this beeja. They are: Ham umnanyaakaasaananadanaatha Sam samaakaashaanandanaatha Ksham vyapakaakaashaanandanaatha Mam sakthyaakaashaanandanaatha Lam dhvanyaakaashaanandanaatha Vam dhvani maatraakaashaanandanaatha Ram anahaataakaashaanandanaatha Yam induvaakaashaanandanaatha Oom bindvaakaashaanandanaatha These are meditated above the agyna cakra to the brahmarandhra and the aspirant will feel different sounds at each stage, these sounds are the guru in that they re enforce the sraddha of the aspirant to move further, thats why they are found in the anuttaraamnaaya, which is the experience of the sadhana path. In the anadabhairavi beeja: sa ,ha, ksha and ma are taken to mean as above. la va ra and ya are the panca tattvaa or panca makaraas by which the elements are used by the aspirant with the meditation on the kamakala beeja Im. It is also the left eye, left denoting the sakthi pradhanya and eye denoting the practical usage. Now putting it in a single line we find the aspirant denoted by ma using the panca tattva la va ra and ya in the manner said by the kamakala ritual manual (Im) to cross over the maya (meru) to realize the unity of siva sakti in this universe sa ha. Here the sakti is said first since this upasana though is siva sakti samarasya develops the individual through rituals and meditations which are the sakti aspect. Reading through the katapayadi code, we find both of them decipher to one, since it is a consonant syllable at the end is ya. Thus the advaita, oneness of the aspirant, guru and the deity being established by the chant of both of these beeja mantras are denoted.

Thus we find an identity of the anandabhairava beeja with the guru; hence we find the same as the rishi of this mantra. Anandabhairavi with the self full of bliss (sadaananda svatmaiva paradevata Lalita), hence we find the same as the upasya devata Lalitha
