24-26 February 2023 – Workshop ” The Twelve Kālīs” – Part 2 (Mahānayaprakāśa)

           

In the second part of the workshop   “The Twelve Kālīs”, we continue to  contemplate the teachings of the early Kālī Krama that focuses on the Cycle of the Inexplicable and the Goddess of Consciousness according to Chapter Nine of the Trivandrum of Mahānayaprakāśa.
She is the Sun, whose twelve rays are the Twelve Kālīs, dawning as reflections of the Kālī of Light in the center. Emptiness emerges in this way from the Void in the center that greedily consumes it.

The essential nature and activity of Kālī is to withdraw the world of death and decay back into the Void of the eternal plenitude of Her pure divine consciousness – the Absence in the center. The scriptures astound the reader with imageless images of Voids flowing into emptiness, generating emptiness, consuming emptiness contemplated by astonished yogis who with the awesome audacity (sahasa) of the devastating power of the Void witness the destruction of all phenomenal, mortal existence in an immensely powerful implosion that gobbles everything up in a flash Light that shines with dazzling brilliance. The scriptures tirelessly intensify the vision with ever deepening and expanding planes of wonder. The yogi thus rushes along this via negativa which here, in this most secret and internal process – Krama­ – is the tradition – krama, its teaching and apocalyptic power of transformation. The language is mysterious as is the reality and the experience it teaches. As we read, we are repeatedly mystified and find ourselves grasping for meaning, when we should instead by letting go and face the horror of Kāla – Death and its power – Kālī to discover that this, the End of all endings is the beginingless Eternity that engulfs time – kāla – and its power – Kālī, even as it is its source. Unconfined Space (ākāśa), the Sky (gagana, kha, vyoman), the Place (sthāna) without location, plane (pada) beyond Being and Non-being, Void (śūnya) and Emptiness (śūnyatā) such is the Womb (garbha) of the One Who is pregnant with the Void (garbhiṇī). This the Supreme Sun (paramārka) that unfolds like a lotus, the expansion of Emptiness into Emptiness of the Year of the Twelve Suns, the Eternity of the perpetual recurrence of timeless Time. For those who do not know it, their existence severed from this, the Void of their true nature, it is recurrent death. For those who are true yogis, Skyfarers in the Void of their pure consciousness nature, it is eternal life.
