"The law of the English is established on brute force, and if to liberate ourselves we too must use brute force, it is right that we should do so." Nor is this doctrine merely stated in general terms: Will the Bengali worshippers of Shakti shrink from the shedding of blood?
Have I not seen how my presence pours fresh life into him time after time? The other day Sandip begged me to receive a young lad, Amulya, an ardent disciple of his. In a moment I could see a new light flash out from the boy's eyes, and knew that he, too, had a vision of Shakti manifest, that my creative force had begun its work in his blood.
Steadying myself with an effort I repeated: "You summoned me for something touching the Cause, so I have left my household duties to attend to it." "That is just what I was trying to explain," he said, with a dry laugh. "Do you not know that I come to worship? Have I not told you that, in you, I visualize the Shakti of our country? The Geography of a country is not the whole truth.
In some quarters there has been some recrudescence of the Shakti cultus, with its often obscene and horrible rites, and the unnatural depravity which was so marked a feature in the case of the band of young Brahmans who conspired to murder Mr. Jackson at Nasik represents a form of erotomania which is certainly much more common amongst Hindu political fanatics than amongst Hindus in general.
Men have a perpetual longing to bring out this Shakti from the hidden depths of their own nature, and those of us who succeed in doing so at once clearly understand the meaning of the music coming to us from the Dark. He broke out singing: /* "My flute, that was busy with its song, Is silent now when we stand face to face.
“Thou that does know the Self and the not-Self, expert in every work: endowed with self-restraint and perfect same-sightedness towards every creature free from the sense of I and my thy power and energy are equal to my own, and thou hast practised the most severe discipline.” The Mahābhārata. The Great God thus addresses Shakti, when he asks her to describe the duties of women.
But, alas, the eyes of men fail to discern the goddess, if outward beauty be lacking. Would Sandip Babu find the Shakti of the Motherland manifest in me? Or would he simply take me to be an ordinary, domestic woman? That morning I scented my flowing hair and tied it in a loose knot, bound by a cunningly intertwined red silk ribbon.
Come Mother, the destroyer of the demons, and appear at the gates of Bengal. The Barisal Hitaishi refers also to the Durga festival, in which the weird and often horrible and obscene rites of Skakti worship not infrequently play a conspicuous part: What have we learnt from the Shakti Puja? Sooner or later this great Puja will yield the desired results.
My call went seeking you from sky to sky When you lay hidden; But now all my cry finds its smile In the face of my beloved." */ Listening to his allegories, I had forgotten that I was plain and simple Bimala. I was Shakti; also an embodiment of Universal joy. Nothing could fetter me, nothing was impossible for me; whatever I touched would gain new life.
This is the chief festival of the Bengali year and lasts for nine days around the end of September. Both PUJAS are sacred to Durga, literally "the Inaccessible," an aspect of Divine Mother, Shakti, the female creative force personified. GIRI is a classificatory distinction of one of the ten ancient Swami branches. SRI means "holy"; it is not a name but a title of respect.
