These are the most important mudras for me in my development of a Lalita-Kali Lunar Sadhana. These mudras come from two books Mudras for Healing and Transformation and Mudras of India. I have been using them in my Lunar Hatha Classes.
I use them with these affirmations for the Goddesses of the Moon which are called Nityas. There are 15 Lalita Nityas and 15 Kali Nityas. The Lalita and Kali Nityas themselves can be meditated upon and worshipped in different forms and colors for the attainment of different ends. In daily worship (puja) of the Nityas, each has her own nyasa and ritual sequence and they are to receive puja on the lunar days associated with them. are the vowel letters associated with each Nitya and day of the Moon.
As a sterotype and over-simplication Kali Nityas are dark and forbidding, and the Lalita Nityas are bright and positive. But it is not always the case. We will find in this lunar practice that sometimes Lalita’s nitya is fierce and sometimes Kali’s nitya is gentle.
In this Lalita-Kali Sadhana we look at each day of the lunar cycle as an expression of a different aspect of the goddess and then an aspect of ourselves because we are also the goddess and we are always changing, evolving and transforming.
