Lalita Sahasranama and Shaktopanishad

Dearest Adi Shakti,

 

My Guru taught me only Bhavnopanishad, he then asked

me to find out the meaning of the upanishad for myself

and explain it to him. Since then, i have been trying

to find out the meanings to the verses of

Bhavanopanishad. My Guru gave me a clue to finding out

the meaning of Bhavanopanishad, he asked me to remain

"Silent" and keep contemplating on Srichakra.

 

Regarding the other shaktopanishads, the site

http://www.ambaa.org provides all the upanishads and

in some upanishads it does provide translations too.

 

http://sanskrit.gde.to is another site which lists all

the 108 upanishads. It also contains Rig,Saman Veda

Samhita and brahmanas.

 

Adyar Library in chennai has published translations of

Bhaskararaya's Lalita Sahasranama, Tripuropanishad,

Bhavanopanishad Bhasyams. Each of these is a Gem which

needs to treasured and contemplated.

 

For the general benefit of the group, i would like to

state how my Guru advised me to chant Lalita

Sahasranama.

 

1) Guru Paduka Smaranam (If you dont have a Guru chant

Aimkara Hrimkara....)

 

2) Poorva Bagam

 

3) Pancha Dasi Nyasam, Dyanam, digbandam

 

4) Pancha Dasi Japam

 

5) Stotra Paryanam

 

6) Pancha Dasi Japam

 

7) digvimokam

 

8) Phala Shruti Parayanam

 

 

To end this mail, i would only state what my Guru

repeats to me everytime i meet him "Antar Mukha

Samaradhya Bahir muka Sudurlabha".

Dear Ma Adi Shakti,

Sri Bhakaracharya has composed a Prayoga on Bhavanopanishad which

was published by Chandi society. I think it is also available from

Chaukambha!

Lalita ParabrahmaNe namaH !
