Episode notes
Three Dimensions Of The Divine Feminine
- Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati represent three dimensions of the feminine and basic qualities of existence: tamas, rajas and sattva.
- These archetypes map to earth (inertia), sun (activity) and moon (dissolution/merging).
Celestial Qualities Mirror Human Aspirations
- The earth is tamas, the sun is rajas and the moon is sattva, each attracting corresponding human aspirations.
- Desire for power, wealth or knowledge aligns naturally with Kali/Earth, Lakshmi/Sun or Saraswati/Moon respectively.
Life's Movement Through Tamas, Rajas, Sattva
- Human life begins in tamas (gestation), moves into rajas (activity) after birth, and may reach sattva (transcendence) with awareness.
- The three feminine forms symbolize this progression and the possibility of breaking the cycle of life and death.
