CHHINNAMASTA "Vajra-Sarpa" MC
Tour de Garde
"What metaphysics understands by immortality and by eternity implies and demands of every man a total and uncompromising denial of himself and a final mortification, to be dead and buried in the Godhead." Ananda Coomaraswamy. Chhinnamasta, forged from the antediluvian rituals and flames from the chasms of Vedic Kaliksetra, is a congregation of beings of the nether realms. "Vajra-Sarpa", our opus, is presented in the purest devotion to the supramental 'otherness' of the Being manifested from the symbolic juxtaposition of the thunderous deva Indra, i.e., strength, will, life, immortality and the draconian asura Vritra, i.e., death, devouring and absolute consumption resulting in the demiurge of the thunder god pushing up the sky to let in the Ushas or the illumination of a primal root. This work is a tribute to that primeval root. "His overshadowing is both Aeviternity and Death!" Rig Veda, X.121.2
