Who is Dakini?
The name of Dakini is very popular in the Tantra world. Common people are also familiar with this name. As soon as the name Dakini comes, a feeling of fierceness arises in the mind. In fact, it is a very fierce form of energy in all its forms. There are many definitions of Dakini. Dakini means the power that “carries the mail”. It is worth keeping in mind that since ancient times and even today, carrying mail in the eastern villages means that the consciousness becomes dizzy due to the storm of emotions and the ability to think and understand disappears. This power is also the basis of Shivalinga of Mooladhar.
In Tantra, Kali is also called Dakini, although Dakini is a very violent power under the power of Kali. She represents the fierceness of Kali. Her place is considered to be right in the middle of Muladhar. She is the most fierce power of nature. She is the root of all destruction and devastation. Because of these, Kali is called a very fierce goddess whereas Kali is also the original goddess of the origin of the entire universe. In Tantra, the practice of Dakini is also done independently and it is believed that if Dakini is accomplished then the accomplishment of Kali becomes easier.
If the Siddhi of Kali i.e. Mooladhar is accomplished then other Chakras or other Gods and Goddesses can be easily accomplished with less efforts. In this way, the most difficult thing is to attain the power of Kali named Dakini. The practice of Dakini is a famous practice of Aghorpanthi tantrikas. Cruelty, anger, extremely violent feelings, nails and hair etc. within us originate from the power of Dakini i.e. waves. On attaining Dakini, a person gets the ability to know the past, future and present and to control and subjugate anyone. Protects the seeker and also guides him. Dakini appears in front of the seeker almost in the form of Kali and her form can be fierce. In this form there is a lack of sweetness and tenderness. At the time of accomplishment, it first scares the seeker, then inspires him to indulge in various seductive forms. Although basically it is a fierce and cruel power, it creates illusion and greed. Can do this for. It can be accomplished if one is saved from its fear and temptation. It cannot be accomplished without making the mind empty and immersed in its feelings. There is a practical difference between it and Kali, although it comes under Kali. They have to be awakened whereas Kali is an awakened goddess. In the practice of Dakini, lust is completely prohibited.
In the world of Tantra, there is another Dakini Sadhana which is mostly practiced in Vama Marga. This Dakini is a permanent quality arising from the negative energy of nature [Earth] and is visible in a definite shape. Its form is beautiful and attractive. It is found as an independent power on earth. Its worship is very popular among Aghoris and Kapalikas. This is a very powerful power and when proven, the path of the seeker becomes very easy. However, if there is a slight mistake in the sadhana or if the seeker becomes even a little weak in the time of sadhana, it ends it. These are advanced powers like ghosts, demons, brahma, jinn etc. Sometimes they can bless someone and sometimes they can automatically get attached to someone.
In Tantra stories, there are stories of it getting attached to some people, getting married and even giving birth to children. Its form is that of a beautiful, fair-complexioned girl with a sharp nose [somewhat long nose] who is mostly seen in black clothes. Details of its practice, circulation and effects are found in the Tantra world of Kashi. This power can only be subdued, it cannot be destroyed, it is an ever-pervading power which can be beneficial as well as harmful for a particular person. It cannot be called negative, but it is a negative power, although it can also react on its own. Generally, it can roam on river-lake banks, ghats, cremation grounds, Tantra Peethas, secluded meditation places etc., which instead of light She likes to be in darkness. There is a difference between this Dakini and the Dakini of Muladhar.
Dakini of Muladhar is connected to the Muladhar of the person, if Kundalini is dormant then that too is dormant. On trying to awaken Kundalini through Tantra path, it is the first to be awakened. Its sadhana is also done independently and apart from Kundalini sadhana, it is also used for sadhana. It happens. On the sadhana of Dakini Shakti of Kundalini, Dakini of nature can get attracted and she can be present. Although Dakini found in nature is a permanent power of nature, the nature of its worship is different but the qualities and emotions are the same. There are many differences of opinion whether on the independent practice of Dakini, the Dakini related to Kali comes or the Dakini of nature, because nature also comes under Kali. Whatever may be the situation, but Dakini is a strong power and she is so capable. It is believed that when proven, it can fulfill both the physical and spiritual needs of a person and can help in spiritual practice and pave the way for liberation.
