: Does Goddess have menstrual cycles?

[Guest guest]

Om vagishvari mrtu-snatam nilendrivaralocanam

vagishvarena samyuktam krrabhava samanvitam

(The Supreme Goddess of Speech has just completed Her bath followng

Her monthly course of menstruation.....etc.)

 

IMHO "taking" Bagalamukhi mantra from an unknown source and

reapeating it is comparable to picking up a loaded gun without a

safety lock. These mantras are very powerful; I would suggest finding

someone to work with before using them.

To the person who is accusing the translator of "Kali Puja" of

WILLFULLY distorting the meaning of the names of Kali..please post the

specific translatations you are objecting to. Knowing this swami, I

would find it very difficult to believe this is an intentional effort

on his part to mislead people. Why not put the names in question into

the group and see what the many scholars and sanskrit experts here

come up with, rather than slandering someone who has done so much to

help others. There are some people here I can see have the background

to investigate the accuracy of the translation in question. Please do

not continue to speculate about someone's character when it would be

so much more helpful to avail ourselves of the resident experts in

Sanskrit.

I am finding the recent in-fighting and sectarian disagreements

here to be very disturbing.

Thank you,
