Bhuvanesvari

Our cosmic mother is the light bringer, the sun and moon, the light of renewal and healing. She is the divine voice, the sound of creation, the sublime note that births a golden era. Hers is the capacity to create a clean slate and a fresh start. She is hope, and she is arising. She protects and preserves that which is worthy of the heart. She shines in a perpetual state of divine beauty and radiance, reigniting our creative fires and attracting to us the most supportive and honoring circumstances. Her presence signifies utmost grace.

Beautiful Bhuvanesvari, fourth of the Mahavidya wisdom goddesses, is colored like the rising sun with the crescent moon at her brow. She is the goddess of abundance and the kind priestess that provides the pathway to healing and fulfilment. She is the quality of preservation and sustaining nourishment. When we have fought hard to accomplish something worthwhile and honoring of the soul, she provides the means to protect it so it may endure. This may relate to a state of being, a project with heart, or a relationship karmically destined to unite and empower certain souls for the spiritual benefit of the collective.

Her presence particularly relates to the divine beautification of the physical world, the bringing of Heaven to Earth. The name, Bhuvanesvari, means ‘sovereign queen of the world’, from bhuvana which means ‘the Earth’, our world, and isvari which means ‘female ruler’. If there is a situation in your physical life that has ugliness and discord at its heart, the appearance of Bhuvanesvari signifies that it shall be healed and realigned through her grace. Believe in the beautiful possibilities of what you are yet to experience rather than placing your faith in what you have experienced thus far. Her presence in a reading signifies harmony and beauty awakening in your world in a very tangible way. As the creatrix of the forms of all the worlds, including the world of our bodies, she holds special power to work on the physical level to bring healing to our bodies and material life circumstances.

As the energy of fulfilment, wellness and vitality, Bhuvanesvari is the divine feminine medicine for those who run their energy levels to depletion, hovering somewhere between exhaustion and barely scraping by to meet all demands. She can help us replenish, and to learn what it feels like to operate from a place of fullness, so what we give does not deplete, but encourages us to open more, to receive more, so it overflows. When such a giving takes place, we are strengthened and uplifted. In a reading, she indicates a shift from poverty consciousness and lack, to prosperity consciousness and abundance.

Bhuvanesvari is the primordial, creative divine power of sound. She is the goddess, Vak, who emanates as Saraswati, the goddess of sound, music, creativity, knowledge and healing. The oracle indicates the significance of voice, creative power, inner spiritual authority and sound healing. All created phenomena have a sound frequency. It may not be physically audible, but the vibration can be felt at a soul level. If it vibrates higher than we do, it will uplift us. If it vibrates lower, we may feel pulled down or depleted by it (unless we can remain peacefully anchored in our true frequency, in which case we tend to influence lower energies and uplift them with our presence).

Everything has a frequency – from the people and places we connect with, to the energies that permeate and influence the space where we live, and the objects with which we surround ourselves. All things have a story to tell. The more sensitive we become, the more we will feel and potentially be moved-positively or not-by that story. To surround oneself with that which speaks the story that heals us, that supports and inspires us, can be constructive for our wellbeing and spiritual progress. In a reading, Bhuvanesvari brings your attention to the influences in your life, asking you to note how you feel around certain people or places, and to consider how to protect and uplift your energy.

Bhuvanesvari’s gift of preservation is the counterbalancing power to Kali Ma’s destructive energies. With Kali breaking through the false foundations, Bhuvanesvari can help to rebuild and preserve what is true to the soul. When Bhuvanesvari arises in a reading, she is asking you to take note of what needs to be preserved, protected and secured, even during the wilds of Kali Ma’s transformational activities in your life. Sometimes, a period of withdrawal to allow for protection and inner strengthening is helpful. Occasionally, we simply need to place what is precious away from the grasping and greed of unworthy hands. You can genuinely love and wish for the spiritual fulfilment of all hearts whilst still recognizing the limitations of yourself and others and responding appropriately. Bhuvanesvari helps us to see clearly by increasing the light in our lives. Her presence is also an indication that at some level, you need a completely fresh start, and she will facilitate this inner reset if you are willing to allow it. This will bring you freedom and energy to reach new heights.

Invocation Ritual

Say the following prayer aloud:

Beloved goddess of universal light, Bhuvanesvari, our beloved rising sun, priestess of the crescent moon. Bejewelled and abundant with golden grace, soft with compassion, generous source of all prosperity and hope, you nurture our souls. You are the gift of sustaining grace. You are the wisdom of sustaining protection. I open my heart to you, welcoming you without hesitation into every aspect of my life, in every dimension of my being. May my soul be an altar to your love, wisdom and grace for the spiritual benefit of all beings. May I live in complete integrity and harmony with your will. As above, so below. Jai Ma Devi! Jai Ma Bhuvanesvari!

Open your arms above your head. Visualize, intend or imagine that a radiant golden goddess is shining abundant grace into your arms. As you slowly draw your arms down alongside your body, you are gently guiding a column of her golden light around your form. When your hands are pointing down toward the earth, the column of grace and light moves into it, bringing blessings into the earth’s subtle body, where they can be distributed as needed for the spiritual benefit of all beings. Repeat this movement to generate the column of grace eight times. When you are ready, finish with your hands in prayer at your heart.
