What are the attributes of Sri Mata during Her stay in Visuddhi Chakra? During Her progress through the Chakra She has red eyes; she sports three eyes; she is armed with ‘ khatwanga’; she has only one face. She is very much fond of ‘payasanna’ or sweet rice. She is settled on the skin and looks terrible for all beings! She is surrounded by Shakthis like Amrutha and Dakiniswari! “ Visuddhi Chakra nilaya rakta varna trilochani khatwangadi praharana vadanaika samanvita payasanna priya twakstha pasuloka bhayankari Amruta mahasakthii samvrutha Dakiniswari”
In line with the description of Visuddha Chakra in Sri Lalita Sahasra Nama Stotra, Sri Sankara, in the thirty seventh sloka of Soundarya Lahari, offers his worship to the Siva and the Devi tattwas exhibited therein. Says Sankara, “ O Mother! I offer my worship to the pure and spotless Siva principle emerging from Akasa in your Visuddha Chakra! It is white and transparent as a crystal of ethereal form and the Devi is with Him! The entire universe is liberated from its internal darkness by their radiance similar to the ray's of the moon delighting the Chakori bird! The bird Chakori lives on moonlight! Similar to the Chakori bird, the aspirant or Sadhaka drinks deep the bliss of the Brahman by meditation on Siva and Devi. Sadhaka’s ignorance or avidya is thus dispelled! The form of Siva referred to is Ardhanareeswara!
The word Visuddha means “especially pure”. This Chakra is also called “Throat Chakra” and is the fifth primary Chakra according to Hindu tradition. It is located at the throat region near the Spine in the pit of the throat and hence called as “Throat Chakra.”The Chakra has a white color with sixteen purple or smoke colored petals. Inside the pericap is a sky blue downward pointing triangle with a white region like the full moon! This is the element of akasha or ether. The deity Ambara represents this region! The deity is white in hue and depicted with four arms, holding a noose and a goad! The silver crescent is lunar symbol of NADA, pure cosmic sound! The crescent is a symbol of purity! Purification is a vital aspect of Visuddha Chakra!
The seed letter or Bijakshara of Visuddhi Chakra is “Ham.” It is the purification center where the nectar Amruta drops down from Bindu Chakra and is split into a pure form and poison! It is believed that when the Chakra is closed the person undergoes decay and death! When open negative experiences are transformed into wisdom and learning! Success or failure in one’s life is said to depend on the state of Visuddhi Chakra!
Meditation on the Chakra brings about various Siddhis and occult powers, vision of the three periods, past, present and future, freedom from disease, old age, destruction of dangers and ability to move the three worlds! Visuddhi Chakra is related to the ear and mouth. It is associated with the Thyroid Gland in the human endocrine system! This gland is in the neck and produces hormones for growth and maturation!
