16 Nitya Devis - Tithi Nitya Dhyana Sopana
William Thomas·Monday, November 21, 2016
Tithi Nitya Dhyana Sopana The fifteen Nityas are the rays of the Supreme Adya Nitya or Maha
Nitya, who is none other than Paraabhattaarikaa Mahatripurasundari. Though the fifteen Nityas
resemble Maha Nitya, it is only this great Parashakti, who is ever united with Sri Kameshwara,
the supreme Brahman.Sri Parashakti becomes fivefold in the Bhutas, air, ether, fire, water and
earth and by association of each of these with the three Gunas; there are the fifteen Nitya Shaktis
who are rayed forth from her. They also represent the Tithis from Pratipat to Purnima or
Amavasya. In Srichakra, they are located in the Moola triangle, five at each side of the triangle.
To obtain the grace of Sri Rajarajeshwari, the transcendent sixteenth Nitya, it is very much necessary to
appease these fifteen deities. The Sadhaka of the fifteen Nityas becomes the abode of Siddhis and
happiness. He is cheerful of mind, charitable, merciful, pleasing in appearance, forgiving, contented, free
from all anxieties, wealthy and filled with the bliss of the self. He is the possessor of various Siddhis like
Khadga, Paduka, Anjana, Nidhi, Bila and control over Devas, demons, Yakshas, Vetalas, Chetakas, nine
planets, five elements and so on.
The sixteen vowels of the Matrika represent the sixteen Nitya Shaktis. The consonants, 36 in number
(considering them severally and as a group), represent the 36 Tatvas. The nine groups into which the
letters are divided are the nine Nathas or the great Srividya gurus. The Nityas are identical with the
universe, Srividya, Sri chakra, Sri Lalita, Guru and the Self. The climax of the Nitya worship is in Para
Homa, which marks the sudden revelation of Sri Maha Shodashi Nitya (kamakotimandali).
“The worship of the Nitya Devis connected with the phases of the moon is an important aspect of
Tantric worship.
The Sun rules our soul and the Moon rules our mind. These two planets cause the lunar phases.
According to Rishi Parashara, the Avatara of Lord Rama is from the Sun and that of Krishna is
from the Moon. Indian mythology accords the status of a Devata to Sun and Moon in the
celestial court of Lord Indra. The moon is one of the most important planets in astrology. Apart
from judging a person from the Lagna, Vedic astrology studies the planetary positions from the
moon also. New Moon to Full Moon and back, the changing phases of the Moon rules the mind
and our emotions. But Moon plays a lot deeper role in our lives than that.
According to the Indian sashtras like Lalitopakhyanam, Tantrarajatantra, Dakshinamurti
Samhita, Vasistha Samhita, Kamakala Vilasam and Bhairava Yamalam; the following is the
spiritual and cosmic significance of the phases of the moon.
The Moon has 16 kalas, or phases. Out of these 15 are visible to us and the 16th is beyond our
visibility. The 16 kalas are:
1.Amrita,
2.Manada,
3.Poosha,
4.Tusthi,
5.Pusthi,
6.Rati,
7.Dhruti,
8.Sasichini,
9.Chandrika,
10.Kanta,
11.Jyostna,
12.Shree,
13.Preeti,
14.Angada,
15.Poorna and
16.Poornamruta.
These 16 kalas are ruled by the 16 Nitya Devis. They are called Shodasa Nityas. They are:
1.Maha Tripura Sundari,
2.Kameswari,
3.Bhagamalini,
4.Nityaklinna,
5.Bherunda,
6.Vanhivasini,
7.Maha Vajreswari,
8.Shivadooti (Roudri),
9.Twarita,
10.Kulasundari,
11.Nitya,
12.Neelapataka,
13.Vijaya,
14.Sarvamangala,
15.Jwalamalini and
16.Chidroopa (Chitra).
Out of these, the first one, Maha Tripura Sundari is the Devi Para Shakti herself, and hence the
kala ruled by her is not visible to the normal mortals. Hence we see only the other 15 kalas or
phases ruled by the other nityas. In the Sri Chakra these 15 nityas are present in the innermost
circle, and the Devi is in the central bundu.
These 15 Nityas rule the famous 15 letters Devi mantra known as Panchadasakshari Mantra: Ka
E Aie La Hreem Ha Sa Ka Ha La Hreem Sa Ka La Hreem
These 15 Nityas in the form of the 15 Tithis (Phases) have two aspects each – Prakashamsa,
which rules the day portion of the Tithi, and Vimarshamsa, which rules the night part of the
Tithi. At night they collect the divine nectar and during the day they release it.
On Poornima or full moon day all the 15 Nityas are in the moon and the moon is shining
brightly. On the 1st Thithi after the Poornima, i.e., Pratipada, one Nitya leaves the moon and
goes to the sun and the moon is reduced slightly in size. On the next Dwiteeya Tithi another
Nitya leaves the moon and goes to the sun and the moon is further reduced in size. This way they
leave one by one till the moon becomes totally dark on the 15th day, which is called Amavasya
or the new moon day. This is known as Krishna Paksha or the waning phase.
After Amavasya they return one by one on each Tithi and the moon starts shining again till its
full on the Poornima when the last Nitya returns to it. This is called Shukla Paksha. Kameswari
to Chitra are the Nityas ruling the Krishna Paksha Tithis from Pratipada to Amavasya. In Shukla
Paksha the order of the Nityas is reversed, i.e., Chitra to Kameswari.
The Nitya of the Asthami or 8th Tithi, Twarita, is common and constant to both the Pakshas.
Hence she adorns the crown of Devi.
The inner triangle of Sri Chakra is known as the Sarva Siddhiprada Chakra and the Nityas are
next only to Tripura Sundari in importance. For your information, Kameswari is Goddess
Parvati, Vajreswari is Maha Lakshmi and Bhagamalini is Goddess Saraswati !!
One Krishna Paksha and one Shukla Paksha form a 30-day lunar month. 12 such months form a
360-day lunar year. Multiplied by 2 (the day and night aspects of the Nityas/Tithis) we have 720
aspects of the Nitya Devis in a year. This way, they rule the day, the night, the days, months,
seasons and the years. Furthermore, each aspect of a Nitya rules 100 Nadis in our body. This way
they rule the 72000 Nadis in our body, with ever changing moods and physical results in human
lives.
The Nityas or Eternities of Lalita represent the fifteen lunar days or tithis of the waxing Moon.
Each has her own yantra, mantra, tantra and prayogas or ritual applications. The full circle of the
Nityas also represents the 21,600 breaths a human being takes in a full day and night. As such,
the Nityas are the Kalachakra, or Wheel of Time.
The 15 Nityas are modifications of Lalita with her three gunas and her five elements of aether,
air, fire, water and earth. As the moon remains itself, though appearing differently according to
phase, so too does Lalita. Each Nitya has her own vidya (that is mantra), yantra and group of
energies (Shaktis).
The 15 lunar tithis, are to be regarded as identical with the fifteen Nityas (Kameshvari to Citra).
The sixteenth Kala called Sadakhya should be viewed as one with Lalita or the Supreme Deity
Herself. In other words, one has to feel that what appears in Kalacakra is nothing but an
expression of what exists eternally as Nityas in the supreme Sri Cakra itself. The tithi-cakra or
the wheel of time is constantly revolving and the Sri Cakra is within it and not without. It should
also be remembered that from the standpoint of an esoteric yogin the tithis are in the last analysis
to be identified with the 21600 shvasas (breaths) supposed to be the average number of breaths
per day of a normal human being.”
Hence Lalita or Tripurasundari is the 16th day or full moon, with her 15 digits. Each of the
Nityas has a certain number of arms, the totality of arms (= rays) of the whole circle being
108. Because any unit of time is taken as a microcosm or parallel of any other valid unit, each of
the fifteen Nityas thus has 1,440 breaths. This identity between space, time, Tripurasundari and
the individual is elaborated at great length in the Tantraraja Tantra.
The Nityas are the vowels of the Sanskrit alphabet and are identical with both time and space.
For example, if the number of tattvas or consonants (36) are multiplied by the 16 Nityas the
number of letters is 576. The multiples of this number provide the number of years in the
different Yugas. So the circle of the matrikas and the Nityas is identical with the sidereal zodiac
as well as mantra.
The ancient scriptures Nitya Shodasarnava Tantram, Srividya Vilasam, Vamakeswara Tantram,
Tantraraja Tantra and Mantra Ratnakaram have specified that the 15 Nityas must be worshiped
in the Srichakra central triangle, anticlockwise, and the 16th Nitya, Maha Tripura Sundari must
be worshiped in the Bindu. The following diagram makes it clear.
In Krishna Paksha, worship the 15 Tithis from Kameswari to Chitra from 1 to 15.
In Shukla Paksha, worship the 15 Tithis from Chitra to Kameswari from 1 to 15”(astrojyoti.com)
