डाकिनी,राकिनी,लाकिनी,काकिनी,शाकिनी एवं हाकिनी ये सतोगु णी दे वीशक्तिया है ये समस्त दे वियां एवं गु रु को

मिलाकर मु ख्य 51 ही मूर्तियाँ होती है ।जिसमे गु रु का बीज मं तर् "गु रु"सबद ही है ।इसमें डाकिनी अणिमा सिद्धि,राकिनी
लघिमा सिद्धि,लाकिनी कामय सिद्धि,कालिनी प्राप्ति सिद्धि एवं शाकिनी महिमा सिद्धि प्रदान करने वाली है ।
हाकिनी से काम्यकर्म एवं ।वशीकरण जै सी सिद्धि प्राप्त होती है ।इसके अतिरिक्त मातृ कां बिज मं तर् का अनु लोम-विलोम
रूप से 250000 जाप करने से सभी प्रकार की सिद्धियाँ प्राप्त होती है ।ये तीनो दे वियो से धर्म,अर्थ,काम एवं मोक्ष की
प्राप्ति होती है वही गु रु बीज मं तर् से ब्रह्मांडीय ज्ञान की प्राप्ति होती है ।
इन छः दे वीके क् रमशः 6 अधिदे वता होते है यदि आप किसी भी अक्षर को अकेला पढ़ते है तो उस अक्षर के फल को ते
डाकिनिया हरण कर ले ती है इसीकारण आपने दे खा होगा की मं तर् ो को एकानकी नहीं जपा जाता है इन्हें जपने के लिए
बिं दु या मात्राओ का उपयोग किया जाता है जै से अं ऐं ह्रीं इत्यादि।
इन दे वियो के अपने अपने ध्यान मं तर् भी है जिसमे ये बताया जाता है की ये   दे वियाँ दिखती कैसी है एवं इन्होंने कौन से
शास्त्र धारण कर रखे है ,ये कौन से आसान में विराजमान है ।जिनका उल्ले ख भविष्य की पोस्ट में अवश्य किया जाएगा।
क्योकि 6 दे वियो के मु ख्य ध्यान एवं 50 अक्षरो के 50 ध्यान लिखना कोई सामान्य विषय नहीं है ।
इनमे ध्यान रखने की बात ये है की सभी दे वियो के अक्षरो से उनके मूल मं तर् का निर्माण किया जाता है ।जै से अं डाकण्यै
नमः,कं राकण्यै नमः इत्यादि।
इन मं तर् ो को विस्तृ त रूप से समझाने के लिए ,यहाँ मु झे लिखते लिखते कई वर्ष लग जाये गे किन्तु फिर भी मैं इस विद्या
को पूर्ण रूप से नहीं लिख पाउगा।अतः अपनी बु दधि ् का प्रयोग कर समझने का प्रयास करे ।आपको समझाने के लिए
एक शब्द का यहाँ मैं चयन कर रहा हु आशा है की आपको मैं समझा पाउँ गा।
एक शब्द ले ते है जै से "महाकाल"
इस महाकाल सबद का विश्ले षण करने का प्रयास करे गे ।
म +ह +आ +क +आ +ल
इसमें
म(काकिनी)
ह(हाकिनी)
आ(डाकिनी)
क(राकिनी)
आ(डाकिनी)
ल(लाकीनी)
इस प्रकार आपने दे खा एक नाम को लिखने में अलग-अलग दे वियो तक ऊर्जा का आवागमन होने से एक शब्द का निर्माण
होता है इस महाकाल सबद में मु ख्य रूप से चार दै विक शक्ति द्वारा ऊर्जाओं का निर्माण होता है इसी प्रकार हर मं तर् में
शक्ति का क् रम एवम् चक् र की जानकारी रखना आवश्यक होती है जिससे की आपके समक्ष यदि कोई गलत प्रिं ट हुआ
मं तर् भी आ जाए तो आप उसका समाधान कर पाये ।
ऊपर लिए गए एकाँकी शब्द मात्र सं गीत के एक वाद्य के प्रत्ये क बिट के समान  है जै से प्यानो एवं हारमोनियम में होते है
जब तक इनको एक सही क् रम में ना जोड़ा जाए तब तक मधु र स्वर ध्वनि का निर्माण नहीं होता उसी प्रकार इन मं तर्
अक्षरो को भी एक सही क् रम में रखकर साधना करना ही सिद्धि का मु ख्य द्वार है ।ऊपर दिए गए डाकिनियो के मूल मं तर्
जो 10,12 और 14 अक्षरी होते है उनके आगे गु रु बिज मं तर् (गु रु)या गु रु मु ख दिए गु रु मं तर् (ॐ शिवगोरक्ष योगी)का
सम्पु टित जाप करने से ये सबद ब्रह्मांड(मस्तिष्क)में कम्पन कर सिद्धि प्रदान करते है ।
सं सार के सारे दे वी दे वता फिर वो कितनी भी सं ख्या में हो या किसी भी धर्म के हो ,उनकी नाम साधना इस विधि से की जा
सकती है ।इसे ही आप ब्रह्म विद्या भी कह सकते है सभी दे वी दे वता,दशमहाविद्या,महादे व,महाकाल,विष्णु इत्यादि सभी
की जननी यही विद्या है ।
इन डाकिनियो की पूजा घोररात्रि ,महारात्रि ,ग्रहणकाल या मात्र रात्रि में सु न्दर सु गंध के बिच करनी चाहिए।जो
भगत है और साधक है उनके पास चयन के लिए दो विषय है या तो वो प्रत्ये क दे वता को सिद्ध करे जिनकी सं ख्या
पौत्राणिक ग्रंथो में 33 कोटि बताई गई है जिनको सिद्ध करना मु मकिन नहीं लगता या फिर इस मं तर् विद्या के 50
अक्षरो को सिद्ध करना चाहिए जिससे स्वयं मं तर् बनाने की शक्ति प्राप्त हो जाती है ।तं तर् जगत में डाकिनियो के रूप को
बहुत डरावना एवं रहस्य मई दिखाया जाता है ।किन्तु ऐसा कुछ नहीं ये वे दे वियाँ है जो आपके सं देशो को एकत्रित कर
या बना कर अपने गं तव्य तक पहुचाने में सक्षम।होती है जिसे "डाक" सन्दे श ले जाना कहा जाता है इसी कारण इनका
मु ख्य नाम डाकीनी रखा गया है जो आपके सं देशो को अपने गं तव्य तक पहुचाने का कार्य करती है ।ऊपर दी गई अक्षरो की
सं ख्या भगवान शिव द्वारा बताई गई है ।किन्तु इसका विश्ले षण करने का प्रयास हमने अपनी लघु बु दधि ् द्वारा ही किया
है ।
इन दे वियो से सम्बं धित अन्य जानकारियो को भविष्य में इस पोस्ट में जोड़ा जाएगा
