Information About The Talatala Chakra
In our perception, everything possesses a yin yang of opposites (i.e., Light & Dark, South Pole & North Pole, Spiritual & Material, Superior & Inferior, High & Low, Positive & Negative, Soft & Hard, Heaven & Hell, Hot & Cold, Love & Hate, Feminine & Masculine, Attractive & Repulsive, etc.). A Loka is a luminous, spiritual sphere comparable to Yang. A Tala is a shadow, material sphere comparable to Yin. A Loka and a Tala are two seamless aspects to a specific state of consciousness.
Talatala’s corresponding loka is Maharloka.
(Theosophy Definition) Talatala: “Lower region.” The fourth chakra below the muladhara, centered in the calves. Corresponds to the fourth astral netherworld beneath the earth's surface, called Tamisra (“darkness”) or Talatala. This state of consciousness is born of the sole motivation of self-preservation.
Plane Of Talatala: Tamisra
Description Of Talatala In The Mahapuranam Srimad Devi Bhagavatam:
The cave lower down is Talatala! The Lord of Tripura, (the three cities) the great Maya Danava is the Ruler of this region. Mahes’vara, the Doer of good to the three Bhuvanas, burnt his three cities; but at last, being pleased with his devotion, He rescued him. Thus Maya, by the favour of that God, has regained his own kingdom and the enjoyments thereof. This Maya Danava is the Teacher (acharya) of the Mayavi sect and the cult thereof; and he is skilled in various Mayas or all sorts of the magic powers. All the fierce demons, of cruel temper, worship him for their prosperities in their various enterprises.
