The Shyama
Upanishad
Just as a blind man cannot see the Sun, which
shines on all, so those deluded by your Maya do not see the Kula -
Kularnavatantra II, 53
There is a whole class of tantrik literature
going under the name upanishad, which are not, however, nearly as ancient as
works such as the Chandogya Upanishad and others. These upanishads,
amongst which may be numbered the example below, often contain tantrik features
which are absent from the older class of Hindu literature.
They may have been composed for several reasons;
to give scriptural (Vedik) authority for the revealed tantras, or, quite the
reverse, to undermine Vedik orthodoxy.
Be that as it may, there is no doubt that
Hinduism, for many hundred years, has followed the tantrik model with temple
worship, pujas, sadhus and the rest. Orthodox Brahminism has been left to
orthodox brahmins.
The following name of the short work refers to
Shyama (dusky), a form of the goddess, but the content is based on the puja of
Kalika.
Om Krim. In the thousand petalled lotus one may
achieve the true form of the absolute, most beautiful, using three Krims, two
Hums, two Hrims, Dakshine Kalike, then the previous seven syllables, ending with
svaha. This is the best of all mantras.
One who recites this is lord of gods, the lord of
the universe, the lord of women, every guru, all name, learned in all the vedas,
immersed in all the sacred waters, Sadashiva himself.
Triangle, triangle, triangle, triangle, triangle,
together with eight filamented petals, with a bhupura. Place Devi here, and in
the heart and other limbs meditate on Her.
Meditate on Kalika as an adolescent, the colour
of a thunder cloud, with crooked teeth, her hands bestowing boons, removing
fear, and holding a sword and a head.
Kali, Kapalini, Kulla, Kurukulla, Virodhini and
Vipracitta are in the six angles. Ugra, Ugraprabha, Dipta, Nila, Ghana, Balaka,
Matra, Mudra and Mita are in the nine angles. Brahmi, Narayani, Maheshvari,
Chamunda, Varahi, Narasimhi, Kaumari and Aparajita are in the eight petals.
Madhava, Rudra, Vinayaka and Saurah are in the four angles. The dikpalas are in
the directions.
Worship Devi in all the limbs, making the
oblation with nectar and doing puja with the pancatattva. This is how devotees
become saints.
The first result is that enemies become friends.
Reciting the mantra protects against theft. The devotee becomes wealthy. This is
the result of devotion to Tara, Durga or Sundari. All Bhutas sleep, while the
black limbed one awakes. He without a son who studies this Upanishad of the
black limbed one, gets a son. It is the equivalent of bathing in water like the
Ganges, going to the holy places, sacrifice and homa.
