mars rahu ardra Divine Amma
The form of Pratyangiri Devi, is described as a “very swift and sometimes ferocious current. Many of the Saints who’ve seen it’s energetic expression have described it as half lion and half human. The lion head is that of a male and the body is that of a female, representing the union of Shiva and Shakti. In her full form, she is humongous, with 1008 heads (symbolically representing the 1008-petalled Sahasrara Chakra, the universal chakra of the cosmic energy) and 2016 hands, riding majestically on a chariot pulled by 4 lions (representing the 4 Vedas), carrying many swords for removing obstacles. The jaws of so many lions makes it very powerful for destroying negative karmas, and a great blessing for anyone on a spiritual path.”

What I find so fascinating about this goddess is not only her incredibly powerful form, but the body through which he is manifested.
http://www.ekatvam.org/pictures/index.php has pictures of Amma, the Singapore woman through which Pratyagiri Devi manifests. You will see that Amma is a striking woman, She resembles a lion herself. A very wide mouth, large prominent teeth and incredibly large and bulging eyes overcome her human form when Pratyangiri Devi manifests - Oh yes, and also an incredibly long tongue.
Amma and Swamiji will continue a US tour which includes Hawaii. I strongly encourage you to spend some time with these two amazing beings. The most profound the quality of being in their presence, besides seeing this powerful form of the Goddess manifest, is seeing this man and woman as the living embodiment of Shiva and Shakti. Swamiji does puja to Amma, which brings forth the Devi. Yet, Amma also bows to the feet of Swamiji who is, in many ways, the originator of the current itself.

WESTERN ASTROLOGY TRYING TO MAKE THE TRANSITION TO A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF VEDIC
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Above each planet you see “Ard” , which means Ardra, the nakshatra (star).
Ardra nakshatra is ruled by Rudra, the fierce form of Siva, the original, Vedic form (Siva is a Puranic Deity). This same star is called Betelgeuse in the West. Interestingly i just made a video about Ardra nakshatra as it is related to the California fires. Mars in Ardra is a main reason why that has happened.

Although the deity related to Ardra is Rudra, the planetary ruler is Rahu, the north node - the head of the Serpent. (The Kundalini)
The Moon is Devi, the mother - the feminine aspect of God - Shakti
The Sun is the masculine aspect of God, the father - Siva
This conjunction of the Moon and Mars in Ardra brought about this fierce power of Devi and also the Lion form of Narasimha (Narasimhi in the feminine). Mars is the indicator of the God narasimha, the Lion.
Each of the Planets refer to one of the Visnu avatars,
Sun - Lord Rama
Moon - Krsna
mars - Narasimha
mercury-Buddha
Jupiter - Vamana
Venus-Parsurama
Saturn-Kurmasana
Rahu - varaha
Ketu-matsya
