Dear friends!

i am new to srividya. I was initiated into this great mantra by

my guru, but before i could learn the technicalities of navavarana

pooja, he attained the lotus feet of amba. He gave his pooja manual

to me and asked me to follow it. I have some doubts. Please guide me !

 

1. The manual prescribes Nyasa. should this be meditative only or

should it involve touching the prescribed body parts?

 

2. During Vighnotsarana, it says, clap three times and do something

else. i do not follow what else they say. please explain.

 

3. while inviting kalas into the Arghya patra, should i simply

imagine so, or do something practically like offering akshata and

flowers into the patra for each mantra?

 

4. Can i remove srichakra from the altar and place it in another

vessel for giving it a bath so that i can later dry it and place it

back on the altar to continue with worship? But after pranapratishta,

can i touch and move the srichakra?

 

5. when they say tarpana, what exactly should be done? should i offer

flowers, akshatas and vishesharghya bindus into the srichakra

directly? wont this make the srichakra wet and sticky? what has to be

done to the milk that has been offered as tarpana to srichakra? or

should i offer tarpana in a seperate vessel?

 

6. when should i chant the moola mantra, varahi, bala etc?

 

7. what should be dont of stuff offered as bali to vatuka, yogini etc?

 

please help me with these !

nitya!

Dear friends in the path of sadhana,

 

According to my personal experience of continuos sadhana, one finds at the treshold of nirakara, nirguna and nishabda.. the ultimate state of complete peace beyond the power of human mind.

 

In other words all effort of sadhana fall into a deep well of silence, contentment and detached state of existence.

 

I have found that to enter this state of wakeful samadhi or a state of non action of the mind which leads to an existence with deep awareness, the sadhak must follow the path of truth at all times.

 

Then the need to do any sadhana drops off and the state of blissful existence as a witness to all conciousness becomes a state of existence.

 

The most simple and sure path to realisation is adhering to truth at all times.

 

God bless all.
