The Goddess Chacruna
A silhouette in the shadows
Shimmering with ecstasy
Dancing in the darkness
Of the unconscious
The Goddess Chacruna
Enticing your demons
To come out and play
To reveal their empty nature
The divine pair
of Shiva and Shakti
As Peganam Harmala and Chacruna
Their union is The Soma
His piercing intelligence
Animated by Her awesome power
Displaying your patterns
On a crystal table
Reflecting the images
Like appearances in a mirror
Refracting your sense of self
Into a million pieces
Getting blasted through the bindu
Over and over again
To lose yourself
Is to find yourself
The gift of creation
Emerges from the act of destruction
Nataraja moving across space and time
The five shaktis igniting His dance
Concealment and revelation
From bondage to liberation
Who guides this journey?
Who penetrates these veils?
Chacruna. O Chacruna.
Praise The Goddess
That is Chacruna
Dancing upon Shiva’s body
Moonbeams of Mahamudra
Illuminating a clear path
For those wandering
In the darkness
To surrender to Their light
To let Her course through your veins
He must clear the runways
That allow Her to take flight
Drinking The Soma
A practice aligned with
Tantric sadhana
Refining the body-mind
Trekcho and Togyal
Clearing the nadis
Becoming a conductor
For the flow of Her power
Allowing Her to cut through
To Pristine Awareness
To the groundless ground
From which appearances arise
After recognition
Stabilizing The View
Refining the body-mind
The journey of a lifetime
Churning the milky ocean
Unearthing the hala hala
Shiva creates the space
That turns poison into nectar
His stability grounds
Her dynamism
The balance between order and chaos
A delicate act
Yet She is the one who asks the question
And She is the one who answers it
The grace of The Goddess as Chacruna
Unraveling the knots
Revealing our own birthright
The true nature of the mind
Removing the dust from this jewel
So that it can shine
The Vajrayana
The Diamond Vehicle
Cutting through to Rigpa
The union of clarity and emptiness
A rainbow running across
The wide open sky of the mind
Vividly appearing
Yet utterly ungraspable
Just like The Great Perfection
The Soma points towards this truth:
Nowhere to go. Nothing to do.
Nobody to become.
Only this play of consciousness
This dance of emptiness and form
A mind not grasping after objects
Just consciousness recognizing itself
Samsara is a mind
Turned outward
Nirvana is a mind
Resting in its own place
She charms with Her beauty
Her form is sambhogakaya
But this is Her greatest gift:
Pointing towards the dharmakaya
The Goddess as Chacruna
In union with Peganam Harmala
The potency of The Soma
Accelerating the path of Tantra
This sacred medicine
Invites us to recognize
The true nature of the mind
The love of The Divine
Wake up from this trance
From this illusion of separation
Surrender to Their dance
Rest in The Great Perfection.
