Experience Shakti Awakening

Amubachi symbolism to Kamakhya vama system of worship

I’m not teaching—I’m simply sharing what I’ve come to feel and understand.

I am not a guru.

I am not a shādhak in the traditional sense.

I am a seeker—rooted in the sacred blue hills of Nilachal Kamakhya, observing, listening, and learning.

My ancestral line carries echoes from the Kali Gandaki, a river whose very name holds mystery and transformation. Within my family, the occult one in every generation is gifted .

🩸 Ambubachi means Red Water,

🔺 Vama and Dakshina: A Meeting of Two Currents

From what I’ve observed, Kamakhya is not just a seat of Vama Marga.

It is a confluence of two rivers:

• Dakshina – the path of structure, ritual, tradition

• Vama – the path of raw surrender, intuition, and inner descent

To me, these aren’t opposites. They are magnetics—poles that balance inner energy.

Kamakhya, through its Vama traditions, doesn’t destroy order.

It refines it through surrender.

It’s not about breaking taboos—it’s about melting boundaries.

And in this sacred place, I sense a non-violent Vama tradition—one that doesn’t do animal Bali .

🌑 From “Mah” to “Ha”

In this life, we often begin with “Mah”—the sound of ego, identity, the “I”.

Ambubachi seems to guide one into “Ha”—the sound of surrender, of being, of breath.

This subtle shift, to me, is the entire purpose of life.

To move from form to formless, from doing to being, from controlling to trusting.

Kamakhya doesn’t demand belief.

She asks only that you listen

Neuroscience of Menstruation & Right Brain

The Ambubachi Festival aligns with the natural rhythms of the body and mind. During menstruation, the left brain—associated with logic and control—takes a backseat, while the right brain, the seat of empathy, creativity, and intuition, flourishes. Ancient yogic texts describe Ambubachi as a sacred window for receiving divine wisdom and surrendering to the flow of universal energy.

🔹 1. Menstruation → Right Brain Activation in Women

• Study (Porcu et al., 2020): During menstruation, women show increased right-hemispheric EEG activity, especially in theta and alpha waves — linked to emotion, intuition, and inner imagery.

• The default mode network (DMN) becomes more active, showing introspective, creative, and symbolic thinking.

• Ancient oral traditions (e.g., Kamakhya, Shakta paths) describe this as the time when “Shakti withdraws from logic and returns to the cave.”

🔹 2. Grief of Losing Mother → Right Brain Activation in Men

• Study (O’Connor et al., 2007): Deep grief, especially maternal loss, activates the right anterior insula, right temporal lobe, and limbic areas responsible for emotion processing.

• Male subjects showed deactivation of left brain regions (language, planning) and heightened emotional recall — meaning the right brain took over.

• Sufis and Tantrics alike describe this as the crack in masculine armor through which the feminine enters.

⸻

🔹 3. Surrender → Right Brain Dominance

• Research (Newberg et al., 2003) on meditation and surrender: Monks and nuns in surrender-based prayer showed suppressed left parietal activity and heightened right frontal and limbic activation.

• This aligns with the mystical state of ego dissolution, emotional fluidity, and timelessness — all right-brain traits.

• The Yogini Tantras describe this as “offering the self back into the unknown,” where the right eye closes, and the third eye opens.

🔹 Final Line

Science now confirms what mystics always knew:

When we bleed, grieve, or bow — the right brain awakens.

By participating in Ambubachi, you tap into this natural shift, unlocking your intuitive potential and embracing a deeper connection with the divine.

Cat Baby vs. Monkey Baby Metaphor

The festival teaches us the art of surrender through a powerful metaphor:

• Cat Baby: Like a kitten carried gently by its mother, this mindset embodies trust, surrender, and right-brain openness, allowing the Divine Mother to guide you effortlessly.

• Monkey Baby: Like a young monkey clinging tightly to its mother, this reflects ego, control, and left-brain dominance, driven by fear and resistance.

Ambubachi invites you to embrace the Cat Baby mindset, letting go of control and trusting in the divine flow of life.

Scriptural Basis & Yogini Lineage

The Ambubachi Festival is deeply rooted in ancient wisdom:

• Kalika Purana: This sacred text describes Kamakhya’s yoni (sacred feminine) as a living presence on earth, with her menstruation symbolizing divine energy and renewal.

• Yogini Chakra: The 64 Yoginis across 8 directions (512 energy centers) map to intuitive and spiritual powers, guiding devotees toward enlightenment.

• Kamakhya Cave: The temple’s yoni-shaped cave, where red water flows during Ambubachi, is a sacred space without a physical idol, embodying the Goddess’s living presence.

Healing, Grief, and Transformation

Ambubachi is a time to pause, heal, and transform. This festival offers a sacred space to process grief, release ego, and embrace divine stillness through a 4-day reset model:

1. Silence: Quiet the mind to hear the divine.

2. Ego Collapse: Let go of control and surrender.

3. Vision: Receive intuitive insights from the Goddess.

4. Rebirth: Emerge renewed and empowered.
