04.ChidagniKunda Sambutha

Chit is a part of our brain that seeks pleasure. It causes chaitanya. It is self-motivated and always at work. First it records our experiences as likes or dislikes. Then it encourages us towards likes and discourages us from dislikes. It has a unique nature. Though it likes few things, it can't stay with anything for a long time. It gets bored. And then it pushes us to something else. So it makes us move between several things. Have you ever wondered why a man can't be happy doing the something the whole day? Chit is the reason for it. But when chit experiences the bliss of Atman, it doesn't get bored. That is why it is called satchitananda - The real happiness and is always new for the chit. Because the bliss of Atman is always new, chit sticks to it forever.

Who is Bhandasura?

Bhandasura is a demon who lacks chaitanya. He is inactive and lacks any kind of motivation. If at all he acts, it will be to cause harm (either to self or to others). He never thinks of self-realization (moksha). He doesn't follow dharma. He is always in an illusion that what he thinks and does is right and never tries to check himself against what vedic gurus or scholars say. He thinks he is above all and hence others are under privileged. Finally, he spends all his time running after materialistic(carnal) pleasures. There is no difference between Bhandasura and a beast!

Lalitha devi's birth

When devatas prayed for rescue, Lalitha devi emerges from chit agni to kill bhandasura. Let us now ponder about this. Who really is bhandasura? Where actually is Chit? Can we ignite that fire and see that the great mother Lalitha is actually inside us?

Chit

For better understanding, let me give an illustration of the chit of a normal person

Likes	Neutral zone		Dislikes
self	Dharma: It is in the neutral zone. It will be avoided if it is associated with any of the dislikes. If is associated with likes, it will be followed. Due to our association with likes and dislikes, we think we are enjoying. But every time we ignore dharma, we set up ourselves for suffering.		Boss
wife/husband			curd
children			wake up early
Parents			charity
friends			neighbors
Potato			in laws
Chicken			..endless
deep fried items
Gold ornaments
mobile phone
TV
Car
...endless

The devaganas inside us try to spark the chit. Then comes the chaitanya (conscious). That gives the power of discretion of truth and illusion. The collision between Dharma and Adharma begins. Lalitha devi kills bhandasura. Chit after Lalita Devi kills bhandasura. 

Likes	Neutral zone		Dislikes
Dharma	self	Boss	Adharma
	wife/husband	curd
	children	wake up early
	Parents	charity
	friends	neighbors
	Potato	in laws
	Chicken	mobile phone
	deep fried items	TV
	Gold ornaments	Car
	These will be used for following Dharma. As you like Dharma, you are happy to follow it. As you follow dharma, you will reap the benefits of it (karma phala)

Chidagnikunda represents kulakunda. Divine mother rises from there in the form of Kundalini (110th name). Hence she is called Chidagnikunda sambhoota.
