Bhairavi


Masculine- Feminine

*****
All this time, Consciousness was referred to as Bhairava. Now the feminine Bhairavi is mentioned as the Awareness of Bhairava. The truth is when the expression is masculine, the consciousness is subtle and feminine. When the expression is feminine, the awareness within is masculine Bhairava or Purusha (another word for man) as Prakriti or creation refers to woman.
When one is filled with the bliss of the experience of the self within, that is free of any distortions, being filled with that state is the experience of Bhairavi, the consciousness of Bhairava.
When there is an experience of bliss in any way - it can be by watching the ocean, gazing at the sky or sharing an intimate moment with a friend or a loved one, being filled with that experience of bliss is consciousness itself. - Swahilya Shambhavi.

Swahilya,
Such a wonderful sloka!How well it portrays the complementing roles of man and woman, or the masculine and feminine energies!Such a great concept, and one that needs to be understood and assimilated.
Meena.

Welcome JJ, thank you: Masculine and feminine energies are the basis in many schools of thoughts, Shiva and Shakthi, Yin and Yang...
