Chimta

Chimta

It is a tongs for woods and coals in dhuni. The tongs can serve as a weapon and also as a protection from evil spirits. While bhajans are performed the chimta is used as a musical instrument. Sometimes a pair of tweezers is attached to it.

Adesh to the Holy Name! Adesh to Guruji! Om Guruji! From the top of Kailash yogeshvar goes, carries the chimta from Eternal Purusha. What is the sound of chimta, what is manifestation? The chimta is like magma, it keeps fire and water together. The sound is the Guru’s word what siddhas originate from. Iron chimta, chimta of Guru’s knowledge, chimta of yogin in nirvana, musical chimta, chimta that is hiding the greatness, chimta of body that is aweking the all creation. Such is the chimta japa-mantra. Shri Nathaji Guruji Adesh! Adesh!
