275.Bhanumandala Madhyastha

Bhanumandala madhye tishtati iti
Located in the middle of the Bhanumandalam. The science of mantra prescribes to meditate on this place during dusk and dawn

Ya eshontaraaditye hiranmayah purusho drushyata
You can see the Paramatma who is like Hiranmaya in the middle of Aditya mandala

You should worship the Divine Mother, who is the middle of Bhanumandala, with a bow and arrow in her hands.

The Bhanumandalam is a composite of moon and Fire. Hence it is the form of Parabrahma. Bhanumandalamu means Anaahata mandalam.

Manipura Chakra in the navel. Anahatapadma in the heart.

There is a lotus below the neck and above the navel. It is about 12 inches and facing downwards

There is a delicate lotus at the apex of the heart, which radiates like a flame, supporting the heart and supporting many nerves. Everything is established into it. In the midst of it was a great fire god whose flames spread everywhere. That is Jatharaagni.

tasmya madhye vahni shikhaa aniyordhwaa vyavasthitah

The Jatharaagni (digestive fire) divides the food and sends it to all parts of the body. The yogis meditate Divine Mother in this place.

neevaara shookavattanvee peetaa bhaswattyanoopama

Inside the Jatharaagni, there is a small flame of the size of a grain and rising up. It shines like lightning in the middle of a blue cloud. The grain is as small as a paddy grain and has a greenish tinge

sabrahma sashiva ssaharischendrah so ksharahparamaswaraat

In the midst of that fire lies the Paramatman. He is Brahma, he is Shiva, he is Vishnu, he is Indra. Indestructible. Self-luminous. Bhanumandalam means Anaahata. That is the place of heart. There lies the Divine Mother. Hence she is called Bhanumandala madhyastha.
