Introduction
Is Tantra a science or an occult? How does it reach the Truth? There is difference of opinion among the scholars and the devotees in answering these questions. Similarly there is difference of opinion about the interpretations of word Matrka in the name Matrka-Bheda Tantrum.
The various Spiritual devotees try to achieve the truth in Various ways some-by satisfying the senses (Pravrttimarga) and others by extirpating the senses (Nivrttimarga). Here the Tantra differs from the Yoga.
The Tantra and the Yoga :
The Tantra deals with the physical aspects, the enjoyment of life through our senses while the yoga deals with extirpation of all sense perceptions and enjoyments. Patanjali defines Yoga as-Yagascitla Vrtti Nirodhah.
In the Tantras, which deal with yoga, Sakti is identified with the Kundalinii or the energy that lies coiled at the base of the spine until brought up through the body by yogic disciplines. The Tantras also stress the efficacy of yantras and mandalas (ritual diagrams) and of mantras (mystic syllables or formulas). Among the most of Spiritual Sakta Tantras are the (i) Kularnava which treats of "left hand" practices, such as ritual union of the aspirant with his sakti (consort) (ii) the Kulacudamani which discusses other rituals and (iii) the Saradatilaka which deals almost exclusively with magic. The Matrka-Bheda-Tantram deals more with matter e.g. how to transform base metals to high valve metals like gold and silver. Tantra in contrast to Yoga, brings about a fulfillment of instincts and desires through which one realises the goal of life, i.e. the powers of the Siva-Sakti. Thus the Trantras explore and search for ways to overcome old age, infirmity and death which impede the enjoyment of life. Tantras also try to find means to alleviate poverty by transforming base metals to high value metals. The Matrka bheda Tantram, although written in the format of the Tantra i.e. Goddess Parvati, the Mother Goddes and chief of the Seven Matrkas asking and Lord Mahesvara answering her questions is basically a treatise of chemistry and medicine etc.
A temple wall of architecture of the Sapta-Matrkas is found along with Ganesa and Virabhadra on the northern wall of Jagamohana of Parasurameswar temple (Bhubaneswar). Its date is 7th century AD. They are Chamunda, Varahi, Indrani, Vaisnavi, Kaumari Mahesvari Brahmani flanked by Virabhadra and Ganesa, who represent the children of the mother deities (Matrkas). These Matrka figures are four-handed. Camunda has a lily bud and a bija puraka in her two right hands and a long trident and vase in the two left hands. Her mount (Vahana) owl is seen on the pedestal. Camunda is terrific in form with the drooping breasts, sunken belly and bulging eyes. Varahi has a lotus and fish in her right hands and a kevara and a vase in the left. Vaisnavi holds a sankha and cakra and a vase in her hands.
Matrka also means., in another context, the alphabet (Varnamala) out of which the bija-mantras or the esoteric sound seed-syllables are formed, which this Tantra also uses for transforming the base-metals to high-value ones. In fact, the entire creation follows from Para Vak or supra-sound (big bang?) as the modern science also now admits.
I recommend ABBYY Finereader 11 (or similar) for doing this work in a relatively easy way. If you plan to do that please leave a comment here so the effort won't be duplicated by others. Please upload back the final pdf. Thank you.
Please note that the high quality scan images are posted here for a specific purpose - to make it easy to OCR/spellcheck the book and not spend 100 hours doing that from a crappy, lossy compressed pdfs that are sometimes posted here. So please don't waste your time asking why this is not a pdf file. Instead please contribute a few hours of your time and OCR and proofread the posted book. Thank you.
