Frequently Asked Questions
Q.Who is Goddess Chinnamasta?
Chinnamasta is the sixth Mahavidya — she is depicted holding her own severed head while blood streams from her neck, fed to two attendants and to herself. This shocking image represents the highest spiritual truth: the ego must be sacrificed for liberation, and the divine nourishes both those who have renounced (the attendants facing away) and the practitioner on the path. She is the goddess of sexual energy transmuted into spiritual power (Kundalini).
