Guest guest Report post Posted November 5, 2002 Sy, Thank you for sending the Kali puja. When I lived in my Guru's ashram, I loved to watch the five different (DURGA, SHIVA, HANUMAN, KALI, GANESH) pujas performed daily. I hope that one day my Guru will teach me the pujas. I have copies of it on paper, but must learn from my Guru. When I get it typed in, I will send it to you. JAI MA! melindaGet faster connections -- switch to MSN Internet Access!

Guest guest Report post Posted February 14, 2003 Namaste Nurcarnation -ji It is not wrong to just show incense, dhupa and light to mother just calling Her name with unconditional love and devotion but to bring one self to a meditative state proper structure of this offerings should be followed. As some would say that Puujaa is a guided meditaion... Krishna-ji has elobrated on this matter in his previous mails. This Simple Puujaa is not complete as it is for getting things started and for many to start doing Puujaa. I would say that this Simple Puujaa is pinched out from the Kali Puujaa of Srirangiri Math sampradaya.... Everyone can do this Puujaa..... It is good to know the Sampradaya for every Puujaa as you should choose the one that suits your bhava.... 1. Where do you place this flower, place it at mother's (Flower Placement) You can place it anywhere infront of the Deity. Preferbelly infront of your asan. There is a sequnce how to place these flower I will send you a pic on my next mail togather with the pic of the Mudras needed for these Simple Puujaa 2. How do you do a sankalpa mudra? I will post these pic on my next mail ( as soon as I figure out how to put these pic on the group) 3. What are we suppose to do here? Ji, what do you mean by left up , right up and so on. At this part you need to draw a yantra with water or sandle paste and offer rice to each corner of the yantra (I willl also post this yantra on my next mail) Om Aadhaara Shaktaye Namah (left up) Om I bow to the Primal Energy Om Kuurmmaaya Namah (right up) Om I bow to the Support of the Earth Om Anantaaya Namah (right down) Om I bow to Infinity Om Prthivyai Namah (lefft up) Om I bow to the Earth Sthaang Sthiing Sthiro Bhava Phat Be Still in the Gross Body! Be Still in the Subtle Body! Be Still in the Causal Body! PURIFY! 4. What pot is it ji? Are you talking about a khumbam or thertha cup (Fill pot with water) It is called Khosa Khusi it is Mother's womb. It is shaped like a yoni and normallly made of copper. After drawing the yantra and offering to all the corness you should place the Khosa Khusi on the middle of the yantra while reciting Sthaang Sthiing Sthiro Bhava Phat ! Then fill the Khosa Khusi with water while reciting this Mantra This proses is purification of water that is to be offered to Mother Om Gange Ca Jamune Caiva Godaavari Sarasvati/ Narmade Sindhu Kaaveri Jale-asmin Sannidhim Kuru/ Om the Ganges, Jamunaa, Godaavarii Saraswati, Narmada, Sindhu, Kaaveri these waters are mingled together. 5. How do you do this mudra ji? (wave hand in Matsya,Dhenu and Angkush Mudra) I will post it soon 6. How do I find my muula mantra Muula Mantra is normallly given by Guru , in his physical absence any Kaali Mantra could be used eg: Om Kriing Kaalyai Namah. It is good to know the meaning of the mantra but it is not essential. 7. Ji, What are we suppose to do here ji? This act is to establish the mantras on your fingers Om Kraang Angusthaabhyaam Namah thumb/forefinger This is to establish the mantra on your Tumb. You should touch the tumb and forefinger while reciting mentallly establishing the Mantra on the Tumb (both hands togather).... and followed by all the other fingers with their respective mantras as below Om Kriing Tarjaniibhyaam Swaahaa thumb/forefinger Om Kruung Madhyamaabhyaam Vasat thumb/middle finger Om Kraing Anaamikaabhyaam Hung thumb/ring finger Om Kraung Kanisthikaabhyaam Vausat thumb/little finger Om Krah Karatala Kara Prsthaabhyaam Astraaya Phat ( Roll hand over hand front and back and clap) 8. Do we have a mantra for the aarati ji? Normally for Simple Puujaa any Kaalii Bhajan or Kirtan will do.... This is the Mantra used in Advance Puujaa while showing five wicked lamp Om Candraadityau Ca Dharanii Vidyudagnistathaiva Ca Tvameva Sarvajyotiising Aaraatrikam Pratigrhyataam Om Kriing Kaalyai Namah Aaraatrikang Samarpayaami Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted February 18, 2003 amaste ji, Thank you very much for your guidance ji. I would say that this Simple Puujaa is pinched out from the Kali Puujaa of Srirangiri Math sampradaya.... Everyone can do this Puujaa Ji, can you please eloborate about this sambarathaya. I could not get any materials or informations on this sambrathaya. Who is the guru in this sambrathaya? Ji, please do not get me wrong I have seen how people could go wrong in following a sambrathaya and they in turn become actually a cult member of the group. I like this way of worship as you do not leave any god or goddess. Ji, I understand from you that anyone can do this puja, that means one need not have initiation. Please correct me if I am wrong ji. What is the significant of perfroming this puja with or without initiation. What is the meaning behind the mudras we preform like the sankalpal, Matsya,Dhenu and Angkush Mudra How does a kosha koshi looks likeji. Ji what is the meaning of Om Kriing Kaalyai Namah? Ji why are we establishing the mantra in our finger.Why are we pointing at the 7 parts of our body and saying the mantra? Ji another question, If you do not mind telling me, Krishnaji that you have mention are you talking about Kanna_krishnanji. Thank you. I am waiting eagerly for your replyji.

Guest guest Report post Posted February 21, 2003 Namaste Nucarnation-Ji, Sorry for the late reply "Ji, can you please eloborate about this sambarathaya. I could not get any materials or informations on this sambrathaya. Who is the guru in this sambrathaya? Ji, please do not get me wrong I have seen how people could go wrong in following a sambrathaya and they in turn become actually a cult member of the group." Srirangiri Math tradition is one of the oldest Sampradaya exsisting today. It is a Saktha tradition from Jagadguru Adi Shankaracarya... It is very true that information on this Sampradaya is difficult to obtain.... The Gurus known to us today are Swami Vittalananda Saraswathy from Devi Mandir Calafornia, His Guru Swami Satyananda Saraswathy Maharaj also from the Devi Mandir and His Guru Swami Amirtananda Saraswathy Maharaj from North India.. You can visit the website www.shreemaa.org to know more about Swami Satyananda Maharaj... No words I say can discribe Maharaj and his greatness... "I like this way of worship as you do not leave any god or goddess. Ji, I understand from you that anyone can do this puja, that means one need not have initiation. Please correct me if I am wrong ji. What is the significant of perfroming this puja with or without initiation." As this is a simple begainers Puujaa, Initiation is not needed yet... "What is the meaning behind the mudras we preform like the sankalpal, Matsya,Dhenu and Angkush Mudra" The pic of these Mudras has been put on the photo album of this group and also the pic of the offering Yantra... the meaning of the Sankalpa Mudra is with the pic... Matsya :- The Matsya Mudra is the mudra of the fish, which symbolizes swimming across the ocean of worldlliness with out fear. Shree Maa tells us to be like the fish at the bottom of the pond. He is always in the mud, but never dirty. Dhenu :- The Dhenu Mudra is the mudra of the cow, which indicates the one who pours forth nourishing goodness in abundance. Angkusha :- The Ankusha Mudra is the mudra of the goad or curved sword, which symbolizes prodding seekers on towards their ultimate goal, or cutting down the iniquities of the ego. "How does a kosha koshi looks likeji." I have posted a pic of my Khosa Khosi on the photo album too "Ji what is the meaning of Om Kriing Kaalyai Namah?" I bow to the goddess Kaalii Who Takes Away Darkness Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted February 21, 2003 Namaste Mataji This is a article I found on Nyasas and I am sure it will answer many questions on why these Mantras are establish on the parts of your body "Nyaasa" is derived from the verb "nyas (ni-as)" --to place or apply, put down or insert, etc.". In Tántra, "nyaasa" means "to place one's own attention on something". There are many kinds of Nyaasa-s, but you will use only Anganyaasa this time. "Ánga" means "body or limb". Thus, "Anganyaasa" is "to place one's own attention on different parts of the physical body". You may perform this in three ways: (1) Mentally: You pay attention to this part and then to that one, and so on; (2) With the help of a flower: You place a flower on the particular part of your body which you wish to pay attention to; and (3) With the help of your hand: You join the thumb and the middle finger and place them over the area of you body which you want to become conscious of. Some say that you should actually touch your body with the fingers, while others affirm that the fingers should not touch the skin but they should be placed over the zone without touching it at all. The first type of Anganyaasa, that is, "the mental one", is generally used when you practice Nyaasa over the Cakrá-s. Since you cannot touch the Cakrá-s with your physical hands, mental Nyaasa must obligatorily be practiced in this case. The second type, as well as the third one, is practiced directly over the various parts constituting the gross body. You will perform the third kind of Anganyaasa in this ritual. Fifty- one regions of the body will be touched. Each of those regions is associated with a particular sound. For instance, the sound A~ (a~) - -it sounds like "ang"-- is associated with the hair. Therefore, you join the thumb and the middle finger together and place them over your own hair. At the same time, you repeat the aforesaid sound, that is to say, A~ (a~). The sounds are approximate representatives of those emitted by the vibrations circulating through a particular area. Every part of your body produces a certain sound pattern. By means of the Sanskrit sounds, you tune in the region over which I perform Nyaasa. This natural and spontaneous tuning is really a subtle and profound awareness harmonizing all parts of your body. Anganyaasa makes you pay attention to your entire physical body, and that simple act places purity there wherein there was apparently impurity. Truly, there is impurity nowhere. The notions of impurities are just that, "notions". All this is the Pure Self, the Infinite Consciousness, the Immaculate Reality for ever. The practice of Nyaasa makes you realize that. Together with the main aforesaid sounds, you also repeat a salutation to the respective area of your body. For example, at the same time you touch the tips of the hair with your thumb and middle finger joined, you pronounce A~ (a~) along with a salutation, this way: ` A~ nm> kezaNte;u. -- Om a~ namah keshaantesu. --Om a~, salutation (námah) on the tips (antesu) of the hair (kesha). The sacred Om word is added to give further support to your salutation. Om is generally used as an auspicious way of both beginning and/or finishing a salutation. So, the function of the salutation is concerned with polishing the original sound associated with a particular part of your body. It works just as the fine tuner improving the reception of a specific wave. With this improvement, your consciousness of that bodily area will increase accordingly. And with the help of that augmented body awareness, you will be able to attain to higher levels of consciousness. Karanyaasa: Touching the hands with the hands themselves The hands are the "kará" or doer of the ritual. Therefore, it is very important for you to become conscious of them. Through certain main sounds (e.g. "Vásat") and specific salutations (námah), you come to realize that your own hands are the Pure Self. The hands are of the nature of "going and taking". By means of Karanyaasa, I perceive their nature and identify it with the Supreme Power of Action (Kriyaashakti) of the Supreme Reality. This should be your consciousness as you perform Karanyaasa. Thus, after practicing Nyaasa (both Ánga and Kará) you realize that your physical body is only a manifestation brought about by the Creative Delight of Shivá. You also realize that, as a matter of fact, there is no real impurity in it because even an apparent taint is a form of Shivá, your own Self. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted March 12, 2003 Namaste Ji, Thank you very much for posting the proper puja for Mother Kali. and Yes Ji, I love to learn the puja from you ji. Shall we proceed immediately on the phadhoti. Thank you ji. Children of Kali Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted March 18, 2003 Namaste Mata-ji As this tradition do not deferenciate the initiated and the non initiated when it comes to Puujaa lets begin and leave the rest to Mother...May Mother bless this journey..... The first part of this Puujaa is called Devata Pranam, bowing in respect the Devas and getting blessing from them to do Puujaa for Mother. Here the meaning of the Mantra is given... i) Devata Pranaam Srimanmahaganadhipataye namah We bow to the Respected Great Lord of Wisdom Laksminarayanabhyam namah We bow to Laksmii and Narayana, The Goal of all Existence and the Perceiver of all Umamahesvarabhyam namah We bow to Umaa and Mahesshvara, She who protects existence, and the Great Consciousness or Seer of all Vanihiranyagarbhabhyam We bow to Vaanii and Hiranyagarbha, Sarasvatii and Brahmaa, who create the cosmic existence Sacipurandarabhyam namah We bow to Shacii and Purandara, Indra and his wife, who preside over all that is divine Matapitrbhyam namah We bow to the Mothers and Fathers Istadevatabhyo namah We bow to the choosen deity of worship Kuladevatabhyo namah We bow to the family deity of worship Gramadevatabhyo namah We bow to the village deity of worship Vastudevatabhyo namah We bow to the particular household deity of worship Sthanadevatabhyo namah We bow to the established deity of worship Sarvebhyo devebhyo namah We bow to all the Gods Sarvebhyo brahmanebhyo namah We bow to all the knowers of divinity Normally when Devata Pranam is recited our palms is put togather (vanakam). When the first mantra is recited the hands is tilted to the left because Lord Ganesha is normally on your left of the alter when you are facing the deity.... If the other devas are on your alter then you can point to them or you can point to Mother. You could also close your eyes think of them and bow down in respect... It is good to use the meaning of the mantra to help you concentrate.... Next will be Chandi Dyanam..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted March 19, 2003 Namaste Mata-ji As this is a shakta tradition (Mother's whorshipers) the Main Deity is Mother Chandi, thus the Divine Mother is invoked first. If this was a Shivite Tradition then Lord Shiva will invoked first and so on for the other taditions... Here the meaning of the Dhyanam is given...... ii. Chandi Dhyanam Khadgam Cakra Gadesu Capa / Parighan Chulam Bhusundim Sirah / Sankham Samdadhatim Karai / Strinayanam Sarvanga Bhusavrtam / Nilasmadyutimasya pada /dasakam Seve Mahakalikam / Yamastaut Svapite Harau Kamalajo / Hantum Madhum Kaitabham / Bearing in Her ten hands the sword of worship, the discuss of revolving time, the club of articulation, the bow of determination, the iron bar of restraint, pike of attention, the sling, the head of egoism and the conch of vibrations, She has three eyes and displays ornaments on all Her limbs. Shining like a blue gem, She has ten faces and feet, I worship that Great Remover of Darkness whom the lotus-born Creative Capacity praised in order to slay Too Much and Too Little, when the Supreme Consciousness was in sleep. Aksasrak Parasum Gadesu Kulisam / Padman dhanuh kundikam / Dandam Saktim Asim Ca Carma / Jalajam Ghantham Surabhajanam / Sulam Pasa Sudarsane Ca / Dadhatim Hastaih Prasannananam / Seva Sairibha Mardinimiha Mahalaksmim Sarojasthitam She with the beautiful faces, Destroyer of Great Ego ,is seated upon the lotus of Peace. In Her hands She holds the rosary of alphabets , the battle axe of good actions, the club of articulation, the arrows of speech,t he thunderbolt of illumination, the lotus of peace ,the bow of determination, the water pot of purification, t he staff of discipline, energy, the sword of worship,the shield of faith ,the conch of vibration, the bell of continuous tone ,the wine cup of joy,the pike of concentration. the net of unity and the discus of revolving time named Excellent Intuitive Vision, I worship the Great Goddess of True Weatlh Ghanta Sula Halani Sankha / Musale Cakram Dhanuh Sayakam / Hastabjair dadhatim ghananta / Vilasacchitam Sutulya Prabham / Gaurideha Samudbhavaam / trijagatam adharabhutam maha/ Purvamatra Sarasvatim Anubhaje / Sumbhadi Daityardinim / Bearing in Her lotus hands the bell of continuous tone, the pike of concentration, the plow sowing the seeds of the Way of Truth to Wisdom, the conch of vibrations, the pestle of refinement, the discus of revolving time, the bow of determination and the arrow of speech, whose radiance is like the moon in autumn, whose appearance is most beautiful, who is manifested from the body of She Who is Rays of Light, and is the support of the three worlds, that Great Goddess of All-prevading Knowledge, who destroyed Self-Conceit and other thoughts, I worship. Ya Candi Madhukaitabhadidaityadalani Ya Mahisonmulini / Ya Dhumreksanacandamundamathani Ya Raktabijasani / Saktih Sumbhanisumbhadaityadalini Ya Siddhidatri Para / Sa Devi Navakotimurtisahita Mam Patu Visvesvari / That Chandii, who slays the negativities of Too Much and Too Little and other thoughts; Who is the Destroyer of the Great Ego, and the Vanquisher of Sinfull Eyes, Passion and Anger, and the seed of Desire; the Energy which tears asunder Self-Conceit and Self- Deprecation, the Grantor of the Highest attainment of perfection : May that Supreme Lord of the Universe, remain close and protect me. As you will notice when you read the Dhyanam that the first verse is the form of Mother Kaalii, second verse Mother Laksmii and the third verse Mother Saraswathy... This is because the Divine Mother truely do not have form, She came in the form of Mahakaalii to slay Madhu and Kaitabha (too much and too little), and when She slayed Canda and Munda (passion and anger) She was called Camunda. She also came in the form of Mahalaksmii and slayed Mahisasura (the great Ego) thus called Mahisasuramardini. When She came in the form of Mahasaraswathy she slayed Sumbha and Nisumba (self-conceit ans self-depreciation). That is Chandi, She Who Tears Apart Thought and beyond.... Next will be wave light and incense.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted March 22, 2003 Namaste ji, Thank you very much ji. While reciting the mantra should I just show namaskar. Thank you ji. Looking forward for the next lesson. Children of Kali Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted March 23, 2003 Namaste Mata-ji It is a custom to ring the bell when you recite Chandi Dyanam and trying to fix your mind on her… After this you will place the single wicked lamp holder in front of you and offer flower to it five times while reciting each verse at "svaha"…. Normally you will hold the flower with your middle finger, ring finger and thumb. When any flower offering is done it is nice to pick the flower bring it to your heart then to the middle of your fore head (third eye) and offer to the lamp or any other flower offering…. Om Agnir Jyotir Jyotir Agnih Svaha / Suryo Jyotir Jyotih Suryah Svaha / Agnir Varco Jyotir Varchah Svaha / Suryo Varco Jyotir Varcah Svaha / Jyotih Suryah Suryo jyotih Svaha / Om the Divine Fire is the Light, and the Light is the Divine Fire; I am one with God! The Light of Wisdom is the Light, and the Light is the Light of Wisdom; I am one with God! The Divine Fire is the offering, and the light is the offering; I am one with God! The Light of Wisdom is the offering, and the light is the Light of wisdom; I am one with God! After this, pick up the single wicked lamp holder, while ringing the bell again recite this mantra waving it at Mother…don't stop rigging the bell until after waving of the incense, which is next…. iii. Wave light Om Agnir Jyotish Ravir Jyotish Chandro Jyotisth tathaiva Ca / Jyotish Samuttamo Devi Dhupo-yang Pratigrhyatam Esa Dipah Om Aim Hrim Klim Chamundayai Vicce Om the Divine Fire is the Light, the Light of Wisdom is the Light, The Light of Devotion is the Light as well. The Light of the Highest Bliss, Oh Goddess, is in the light, which we offer, the Light, which we request you to accept. With the offering of Light Om Aing Hriing Kliing Caamundaayai Vicce. Iv. Wave incense Om Vanaspatir rasotpanno Gandhatyayi Gandha Uttamah / Aghreyah Sarvadevanang Dhupo-yang Pratigrhyatam / Esa Dhupah Om Aim Hrim Klim Camundayai Vicce Om Spirit of the Forest, From you is produced the most excellent of scents. The Scent most Pleasing to all Gods, that scent we requested you to accept. With the offering of fragrant scent Om Aing Hriing Kliing Caamundaayai Vicce It does not matter how much incense you offer, it is the thought that goes with that really counts…. Normally we only wave a single stick of incense so it does not effect the pranayam thus creating a conducive atmosphere for Puujaa…. The next two verse of mantra could be recited while hands in Namaskar…. Here the meaning of the mantras are given because it is always better to put the thought in the mind while doing the action and reciting the mantra…. This way will bring you to the state of dyanam faster because all senses are concentrated on ONE Om Payah Prthivyam Paya Osadhisu / Payo Divyantarikse Payo Dhah / Payahsvatih Pradisah Santu Mahyam / Om Earth is a reservoir of nectar, all vegetation is a reservoir of nectar, the Divine atmosphere is a reservoir of nectar, and also above. May all perceptions shine forth with the sweet taste of nectar for us Om Agnirdevata Vato Devata Suryo Devata Candrama / Devata Vasavo Devata Rudro Devata-ditya Devata Maruto / Devata Visve Deva Devata Brhaspatirdevatendro Devata / Varuno Devata Om The Divine Fire (Light of Purity) is the Shining God, the Wind is the shining God, the Moon (Lord of Devotion) is the shining God, the Protectors of the Wealth are shining Gods, the Relivers of Suffering are the shining Gods, the Sons of the Light are the shining Gods; the Emancipated seers (Maruts) are the shinings Gods, the Universal shining Gods is the shining God, the ruler of the Gods is the shining God, the Lord of Waters is the shining God. Thanks for letting me learn with you too…. Next will be Gyathri Viddih Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted April 3, 2003 Namaste Mata-ji "What thread are we holding here ji.Are you talking about the brahman thread." Traditionally Kusa Grass (Therbai) is tied around the wrist when making a resulution... In Shaivite Whorship this grass is made in a form of a ring and put on the ring finger (pavitram). Nowdays for convinience sake a red cotton string is tied around the wrist... This is also done in this tradition when someone learns a puujaa or makes a resulution to do puujaa.... Once Mata-ji have learned this Puujaa you can show what you have learned to Swami Vittalananda Saraswathy and I am sure he will be more than happy to tie this string around your wrisk.... He will be comming down to Malaysia on the 20 June with his family... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted April 3, 2003 Namaste Mata-ji In this tradition a Rudraksha Maalaa is normally used... you could get a 108 Rudraksha bead Maalaa from a nearby ashram.... If this is not possible then I am sure we will make arrangements for you to get one.... It is nice to get blessing from a guru before you start anything... in his fizical abcense we can pray for his blessings.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
