Dear Sangar

I do have two editions of chakras for all the slokas

of Soundarya Lahari with the bijas; lemme see what I

can do to send it across. As for mantras, I can

proofread and edit yaajusha mantras as I have done

adhyayana in the traditional way. This is perhaps one

way I can repay my masters in some small way.

(Swaadhyaaya pravachane eva naakomaudgalyah; taddhi

tapastaddhi tapah - taittariyam)

Saampradaayika Srividya Pooja uses mainly various

nyaasa-jaalaas which are mostly as found in

yoginihrdayam with a commentary by Bhaskararaya Makhi

known as Setubandham; there is a modern book, again in

Sanskrit known as Srividya ratnakara which gives pooja

paddhati for Ganesha, Bala, Matangi, Varahi, Srividya

and Para with panchapanchika, amnaya etc., the thrust

is on samayachara in this book. I find this very good.

Mantras are not different between samaya and kaula;

only dravyas.

There are bad Tamil translations available in plenty

for Srividya Upasana in Madras, but I would be wary of

Tamil translations since it cannot reproduce Sanskrit

alphabets and no adequate notation is available for

transcription. One requires at least a rudimentary

knowledge of Sanskrit.

As for using mantras, 'varna swarah; matra balam;

samasantanah' says taittariyam. One cannot afford to

make mistakes in swaras and uccharana.

Any help I can provide, I will consider it my bhagyam.

Krtakrtyo dhanyascha bhooyasam aham.

Om namastripurasundari.

Dear Divine,

I am quite familiar with the soundarya lahari chakras. What I am planning to do is to publish, as soon as it becomes a reality, all the chakras with perfection, as mentioned in mantra mahodathi, mantranavam etc.

Further I am bring out the 2nd edition of srividhya pooja paddathi with enlarged information and details, vana durga vidhanam, prathyinkira vidhanam, and ganapathy homam both tantrik and vaideik, but the supply and demand is not realistic. It took nearly 10 years to sell the 500 copies, and therefore I believe printing them is not worthy the task. Inspite of this I would like to bring out these editions, is there are sponsors coming forward to help this project.

In fact I printed 1000 copies of sambasadasivaayutha namavali, and almost 700 copies were given free to those visiting kailash, so that they can spend their time there spiritually, and the balance

I am still having about 200 copies unsold.

Regarding Ratnakara I do have the oldest edition followed in the sampradaya, which again is waiting to seek the light of publication.

Regards,

S.Shangaranarayanan
