Karnataka. The temple is located near Doddaballapur

Narasimha is also consecrated in Ghati temple.

i.e. self originated. The most significant feature of
this temple is Lord Subramanya is facing east and
Lakshmi Narasimha swamy is facing west in a single
image. Devotees visit Lord Narasimha through a
mirror placed at grabha gudi.

Sri.Amritananda Natha Saraswati himself describes it as follows:
"The Khadgamala is the equation I=WORLD=BEYOND. Regular
practice protects you, nourishes you, and takes you beyond. It
fulfils all wishes, more than you desire, instantly. Therein lies its
power. How should you practice Khadgamala? As you are reciting
each name, a portion of Sri Chakra should spring up in your
imagination. The power comes from intensifying concentration
to visualize the form, hear the sound, feel the touch, taste, and
smell of the divine perfume of the goddess manifesting that
part of the ever youthful Goddess.The Goddess loves fun. She is
deeply in love with You, making You HER Siva.

Sri Devi refers to Shakti, the Divine Mother. Khadga
means Sword, Mala means Garland, Stotram means a
hymn or song of praise. So the Khadgamala Stotram
(hereafter, KS) is a hymn to the Divine Mother, which
is said to bestow a garland of swords upon those who
recite it. The KS takes us mentally through the Sri
Chakra; i.e. the mystical geometric representation of
6
the Supreme Goddess. This Yantra consists of nine
enclosures – each more secret and esoteric than the
one before – surrounding a central point, or bindu, in
which Devi, the Supreme Goddess (here in Her erotic
form as Kameshwari) is joined in coitus with her
consort. As we make our way to the center of Sri
Chakra, we pay homage to the 98 yoginis or aspects
of Devi (by reciting each of their names) who guard
the various “power points” of the charka along the
way. We internalize each yogini to become Her; and
this prepares us to meet the next yogini on our path –
and so on until we reach the center.
'SHAKTI' (Devi) is the Sanskrit word denoting power,
or energy – all Energy, whether we perceive it (from
our perspective) as positive or negative. (It is the
Shakta belief that there is no “positive” or negative
energy. Energy is always the Creatrix.) Einstein said
that all matter is energy. Shaktism says all energy –
that is, everything in and of the three worlds – is all
DEVI. SHIVA is Consciousness, and is visualized as
Devi’s consort. Consciousness energized by Power =
the UNIVERSE. Energy animated by CONSCIOUSNESS
also = the UNIVERSE. Love – the desire of SHAKTI and
SHIVA to Unite as One – is the essence of all Creation.
That why the KS envisions Devi 'IN COITUS' with Her
Consort. This implies that SHAKTI (Energy) is fully
7
animated by SHIVA (Consciousness) – She is, in fact,
in an eternal state of creative orgasm. That is the
cosmic bliss we begin to access through our sadhana
(spiritual disciplines). The human sexual impulse is
merely a metaphor for the Cosmic Creative Impulse
that creates that all we see and do not see. The
Stotram is inviting us to ride that wave with Her; in
essence, to become Her. The SWORD bestowed upon
reciters of the KS symbolizes the power (Energy) that
enables us to transcend attachment, enabling Self-
Realization. As Sri Amritananda Natha explains, “the
Sword [metaphorically] severs the head, separating
body from mind. It can be interpreted also as Wisdom
– that which separates, categorizes, and classifies. So
it is a symbol of Knowledge. Khadgamala is about
imagining a garland of synergistic ideas, nourishing
and protecting them and putting life into them.”

Of this, Devi's sword, the Seer is the Sun rising from
the ocean; the ocean being the Divine Mother; Gayatri
is the meter; passionate Kameshwari, sitting on the
lap of joyous Kameswara is the deity; Aim is the seed;
Klim is the power; Souh is the pivot; it is purpose is
for worship of the Divine Mother. This worship of the
Divine Mother (of Kameshwari ) which is the ocean's
embrace with the Sun, gives the devotee a Sword, a
power supreme, that Heavens of the remotest
galaxies. When the devotee thinks of such a sword,
he or her become the protector and enjoyer of
eighteen lands of jewels ( Sakti peetams ), and five
continents.

She is a personification of all that is beautiful,
aesthetic, harmonius, joyful, vibrant; she moves in Sri

worshipping their consorts named here after.

DASA SANDHI
Dasa sandhi is an important aspect in Marriage
Compatibility of Horoscopes. Dasa Sandhippu means
the the Dasa of the Girl or Boy should not change
within a period of 1 year. If this is noticed at the time
of checking the Horoscopes the marriage will not be
recommended. Dasa Sandhippu gives us a warning
that this Girl & Boy if married will have to face
difficult times in in future.
Dasa is the period in years, the different
NAVAGRAHAS rule us during our lifetime. Our Life
span has been taken as 120 years in Astrology. 3
Stars are assigned one Graham. The following Table
gives the details of Stars, The Grahams, and its
number of years.
53
WHAT IS DASA BUKTHI ?
Bukthi is a portion of a Dasa. This means within the
duration of a Dasa, all the other planets will have a
specific period. The first Bukthi will always be the
same as its Dasa. For example in Sukra Dasa the first
Bukthi will be Sukra Bukthi. This will be followed by,
Suryan - Chandran - Chevvai -Rahu - Guru - Sani -
Budhan and Kethu. Bukthi is not taken into account
when checking the Dasa Sandhippu.
DASA BALANCE AT THE TIME OF BIRTH?
In every Horoscope the Balance at the Time of Birth
will be calculated and written. If a person's Birth Star
is Barani. At the time of birth it will be Sukra Dasa
(See Table Above). But it will not be the full period of
20 years. This is because by the time the person was
born a few Nazhigai or Hours of the star Barani would
have elapsed on that day.. That is out of the 60
Nazhigai / 24hrs, if the birth had taken place after 20
Nazhigai (8 hrs), the remaining 40 Nazhigai (16 hrs)
only will be taken into account for calculating the
Dasa Balance at the time of birth. This for example
could be,
Balance at the time of birth Sukra (Venus) Dasa, 14
yrs - 9 months - 14 days.
Please make sure the Dasa balance is correctly
54
written in your Horoscope. This will be required to
Forecast the effects Dasa Bukthi of your Horoscope on
your life.
WHEN DOES DASA SANDHI OCCUR ?
It is essential to check Dasa Sandhippu when
comparing the horoscopes of a Girl and Boy for
marriage. Dasa Balance at the time of Birth is the
starting point to calculate the various Dasa periods
till about 75 to 80 years for the Boy and the Girl.
When comparing these calculations, if we find the
running Dasa of the Girl or Boy changes within a
period of one year at any point of time, it is known as
Dasa Sandhippu..
Some Astrologers are of the opinion that same Dasa
also should not happen over a period of time for the
Girl and Boy.
This is known as Sama Dasa (Same Dasa)
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THE DASA CHANGES WITHIN A
PERIOD OF ONE YEAR ?
Dasa change within a period of one year is an
indication that the couple will have to face difficulties
in future in their married life. To avoid such problems
Marriage will not be recommended when Dasa
Sandhippu occurs.
