Three of the Dasa Mahavidyas from the Indian tantric tradition - Tripurasundari, Bhuvaneshwari and Bhairavi - are the focus of a new educational video by author Maria Vyasa. The video presents a unique way of connecting the ten wisdom goddesses with the six-chakra system that originated in the Kubjika School of Tantra.
The video titled " Tripurasundari, Bhuvaneshwari and Bhairavi- Dasa Mahavidyas" draws from Vyasa's 2024 book "Kundalini - a baptism of fire: The journey of the mystic." The Dasa Mahavidyas are a group of goddesses from the tantric tradition representing different wisdom aspects of the divine.
The ten goddesses are Kali, Tara, Tripurasundari, Bhuvaneshwari, Bhairavi, Chinnamasta, Dhumavati, Bhagalamukhi, Matangi and Kamala.
The video brings together academic research, oral traditions from living goddess traditions, and personal contributions to the symbology of the goddesses. Vyasa covers both established scholarly understanding and her own interpretations of the symbolic meanings. She also explains how these goddess figures connect to the Kundalini process, a spiritual transformation described in yogic texts.
This connection between the goddess tradition and the chakra system represents new ground in understanding these ancient teachings. Vyasa's approach makes complex mystical concepts accessible while maintaining scholarly rigor.

Understanding Tripurasundari, Bhuvaneshwari and Bhairavi
Tripurasundari, Bhuvaneshwari and Bhairavi, Vyasa proposes, are symbolic of iccha shakti (power of will), jnana shakti (power of knowing) and kriya shakti (power of action). The powers of will (iccha), knowing (jnana) and action (kriya) are connected to the energy channels of Shushumna, Pingala and Ida, These energy channels are said to meet in the Ajna chakra, which makes the goddesses Tripurasundari, Bhuvaneshwari and Bhairavi connected to the Ajna chakra. Together Tripurasundari, Bhuvaneshwari and Bhairavi symbolizes that you need to offer all your will, all your knowing and all your power of action to reach the divine, and to become an expression of the divine, Vysasa proposes.
