Kamalatmika Retreat
8-17 July 2024
The Goddess of universal treasures, Plenitude & Splendour
Grace, splendour, charm, and tenderness overflow into us when we are in a state of deep communion with Her sphere of force. All this emanates from Her gigantic being just as the sunlight emanates.
Everywhere She is invoked to manifest, something special, amazing, wonderful appears, which lets the splendour and intoxicating beauty of Her Mysterious Smile shine through.
Precisely because of this, the soul of the worshiper is enchanted, overwhelmed, captivated and immersed in the depths of unfathomable happiness.
The splendid occult influence of Her gigantic sphere of force is delicate, uplifting and fully purifies the consciousness, dynamizing and regenerating the life of the human being concerned and the body.
When this communion with Her gigantic sphere of force is extraordinarily deep, miraculous waves of intoxicating bliss pour forth into the inner universe of its worshipper.
The Triumph of Spirituality
KAMALATMIKA, the tenth Great Macrocosmic Power, symbolizes the celebration of full success in initiation into the paths of knowledge of the ten Forces of God.
She embodies the triumph of spirituality enriched with all the gifts of the Macrocosmic Powers. She is the Godly Splendour in manifestation.
Etymologically, Kamalatmika means “She who is like the essence of the lotus flower”, a flower called kamala in Sanskrit.
The lotus has its roots deeply embedded in the mud of the swamps, but its flower is pure, immaculate and of a downright magical beauty.
That is why it has become in Hindu spirituality a metaphor for the soul that alchemizes the mud of existence and breaks through to the surface, facing with its enigmatic force every obstacle.
Radiant Beauty & Perfection
As most tantric texts state, Kamalatmika has as its point of projection into the Microcosm of the human being the subtle force center Anahata Chakra, manifesting at this level as an image of delight, happiness and our heart’s aspiration for perfect happiness and beauty.
That is why Kamalatmika is often visualized in a feminine pose of dazzling beauty, shining enchantingly at the level of the heart and spreading Godly Grace in the souls of all beings in Creation.
Through her unconditional love, Kamalatmika “nourishes” all beings and things in the Manifestation, sustains them to grow physically and spiritually, and instils in them patience, intelligence and godly virtues.
the Splendour in All Creation
Kamalatmika manifests herself wherever beauty appears in the surrounding world: in nature, in artistic creations, in human beings, etc.
Anything that inspires us to recognize the presence of Godly Beauty in the forms that surround us is an effective way of worshiping Kamalatmika, such as:
• Experiencing heightened emotions by listening to a piece of music or by admiring a work of art;
• Contemplating a splendid sunset;
• The deep impression that the beauty of a face produces on us;
• Intensely experiencing the joy of being alive and thus having the opportunity to admire the perfect beauty of nature;
• Our own involvement in a creative process, especially in the artistic field (music, painting, etc.).
Meditate on The Magical Rays of the Sun
A specially indicated form of devotion & worship of Kamalatmika is to meditate on the Sun’s rays – which from a spiritual perspective symbolize the forces and powers of the Godhead, mirrored in Manifestation.
As depicted both in ancient Egyptian art and in the Rig Veda, the Sun’s rays symbolize the hands of the Sun God (or Goddess), which magically touch us and thus overflow upon us the Godly Grace of spiritual Enlightenment.
When we aim to visualize as best we can in the sphere of consciousness the power of solar radiation, we gradually succeed in starting and then accelerating the process of inner spiritual evolution, supported by the grace of the Great Macrocosmic Power Kamalatmika.
