Hello Raviji,Can you please post all mantras of Guhyakali who has different number of heads? In Mahakala Samhita it is said there are almost like 18 different forms of Guhyakali please let us know what they are with their dhyana? I cannot get this information from anywhere. Everywhere I saw they are mentioning that Guhyakali has 100 heads but not more than that.I would really appreciate if you could shed some more light on this aspect of the great goddess.Thank you

Yes, She is also know as Raktatārā (raktarara means more red). Thank you for your gesture. At the end of the day, all of us should be benefited.

She has been described sometimes as raktatara also. in stores in bodhagaya her idols are easily available. i personally saw them. 6inches high bronze idols with four hand.....two holding flowery bow and arrow and other two with pasa and ankusa. they have asked arround 1600 rupees. beneath her feet one figure was there.i have one text where in tantrik sandhya vandana of ugratara one dhyana describing this form but kurukulla name was not there. if i can find the text containing book i will upload this verse here.

Description of Kurukullā is highly complicated and no authoritative source is available to provide meaningful interpretation. Whatever I understand from the texts, I am providing information, which however is not authenticated. Kurukullā is mainly related to Buddhism. She is referred in one of the important Buddhist Scriptures, Guhya-samāja-tantra as Ḍākinī (डाकिनी). In this text (verse 32) makes a reference to Ḍākinī and the meaning of this verse is “Yoga, atiyoga, mahāyoga (different stages of samādhi ) occur by themselves; also Vajrin, Ḍākinī as well as any union (yoga) of both, by themselves. Probably this could mean the union of Vārāhī and Kurukullā in formation of a body (including gross and subtle). When their union is complete (probably in samādhi), she is known as Vajraḍākinī (possibly like the union of Śiva and Śakti), who is said to be shining in nature. These narrations and descriptions are tantric in nature and do not augur well with dakṣinācāra. There are contradictory opinions about her appearance. Mostly She is described with horrific form. But Buddhist Scriptures say that She is a young and beautiful damsel of sixteen years who has a single face and she wears a garland made of skulls (like Kālī). It appears that there is only one mantra for her, which reads thusom kurukulle hūṁ hrīṁ svāhā || ॐ कुरुकुल्ले हूं ह्रीं स्वाहा॥Many Scriptures relate her to some form of Tārā Devi. Since, we do not have any authentic source of information of her, it is advisable not to practice her mantra or worship her.

Please help to make a clear concept about kurukulla as she is discussed in Kali Tara and tripura context but not clear anywhere. we get clear figure and mantra about kurukulla in Buddhism. should Hindus accept theses or any other murti and mantra. om kurukulle hum.....is very powerful and popular mantra in Buddhism. please clear this matter.

Yoga Vāsiṣṭha speaks about three types of ākāśa-s (ākāśa means plane).1. Cidākāśa - spiritual plane, where the mind is connected with the Self, Supreme Consciousness.2. Cittākāśa - mental plane, when the mind is still associated with objects.3. Bhūtākāśa - elemental plane, where the mind is completely connected to the material plane. Apart from the above, following ākāśa-s are also mentioned in different Scriptures. 4. Parākāśa – generally referred to as nirvikalpa samādhi, where mind, body and ego are totally dissolved. 5. Daharākāśa – Super Conscious state, which is referred as the Abode of Brahman in Brahma Sūtra, within our body. 6. Mahākāśa – the cosmic space, the infinite space. But there are variations. For example, Cidākāśa, Parākāśa, Daharākāśa, Mahākāśa are the four psychic centres beginning from ājñācakra to sahasrāra.Spiritual life starts from ājñācakra, crosses sahasrāra and ultimately enters into Cosmos. We can also discuss further details later.

Rudra is generally considered as lower forms of Shiva. Since Mahadeva represents Suddhavidya, I used Mahadeva. Further, Rudra also means Rudra gana-s, assistants to Shiva. Hence, I have not chosen to use Rudra. In fact, Mahadeva is not an appropriate usage in that place. Still, I used Mahadeva, as Shiva's purity continues to prevail till the state of Suddhavidya. It is always difficult to correlate Trika and Advaita.

May be instead of mahhadeva you use rudra. it will be more perfect in srividya also
