Chinnamastā – Mahāvidyā 6

Chinnamastā embodies both the force of separation as well as the power that drives the union of the created and the creator. In this union, the awakened perspective reconciles all dualities and paradoxes—we come to see that along with all of creation, the I-self is also divine. No longer captivated by Kāmā and Ratī, the I-self is seen for what it is. Chinnamasta’s light as awakened kundalini trans- forms ordinary experience into extraordinary beauty.
