In Namams 381 to 474, the Divine Mother’s Jnana Yoga worship methods are discussed in details.
The Divine Mother is the Kurukulla Devi or Shakti.
Sricakra is the symbol for the universe wherein each section explains different tattva. Cit and Ahan-kara are included in these tattvas. Kurukulla is the root Devi for cit and ahan-kara, which are playing a role for the advancement of the soul. Usually Vedanta means are used to eliminate these two which is very difficult. These two if are thought as the form of Divine Mother which makes it easy to eliminate them. Starting and ending, good and bad are some of the dualities in this universe. All these are to be considered as the Divine Mother’s form to make the worship to Her. So the devotees find this type of worship beneficial to them.
Kurukulla shakti resides in Vimarsa stream in the Sricakra,
between the walls of cit and ahan-kara. The liquid here is same as the nectar
flowing through the Susumna (Namam 99 Muladharaika nilaya with the meaning that
the Divine Mother’s one of the principal abode is in the Muladhara). Kurukulla
is said to be in-charge of the stream of nectar. Tantraraja (Chapter 21)
describes this deity in detail.
The Lalitastavaratna praise Kurukulla as follows: “I meditate always on the
Devi Kurukulla, who resides in Kuruvinda ruby, whose waist is bent and whose body is smeared
with red paste.”
The Divine Mother.
