Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 ||Shri GaneshDattaGurubhyo Namah|| Dear Sarbaniji, Many thanks for reply!! I have not replied only to your mail, but I take rfference of your mail in writting to Subhangiji and Saajiji just to show how people from different Desha have different traditions!! Plus just before sending my mail there is Tushar's mail!! This shows how people can act when one says that their ISHTA is used in black magic!! That's the imotional reply from Tushar side!! Earlier I've not written single word about it but I'll say atleast Tushar has expressed his views openly!! So one can understand how others may feel about it!! Samely it happens with Saajiji (Kartikeya -- Rajas Guna ) So this shows my points are very clear! Don't you think so? So I think I should reply considering all the mails which I saw on list even thouh when I wrote to particular person? And also I have ask for opinions how same diety is Ishta for someone and same diety will be Phalan (or Paalan) Devta to someone else then how bijas & mantras should be corelated? I know some have opinion , this subject is not for open discussion but when SJC say with charts you can go for mantras then you should make this all clear to all of us !! I'll say half knowledge (Given to others not yours) is more dangerous!! Same way what if Amatyakarka is placed in 11h in navamsa chart? Then Phalan Devta will also give strength to Khaaresh? Should we consider that part? So many questions I've seen on list and with personal mails also!! So Sarbaniji rather than arguing without any conclusions , it should be helpful situation for all. But any way thanks for writting back !! Only thing is pls write somthing which is not known to all!! This is a request!!

Or perhaps everyone do not read mails properly. I don't think there is any question about the fact that Dattatreya is the highest guru...he is the amsha of Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwar. Hence, when people indulge in the worst tamasik practices with the highest of gurus like Dattatreya and Dakshinamurty...then what can one of say others. The point is, the deity is not tamasik...the method of worship is satvik or tamasik or rajasik. I agree with your regional pluralism overview very much...but if Skanda Purana says something, I will tend to adhere by what it says.

You have given the reference of Skanda Purana which is also very true!! But being Maharashtrian I should told you about our tradition! In Maharadhtra, women are not allowded to do the Darshana of Kartikeya except Kartik Purnima (When Krittika Star is there) !! So I think as we live in India, in every state or even in districts we may have diff. traditions to follow!! So I think every one should follow his own tradtion as " Swadharme Nidhanam Shreya Pardharmo Bhayavah" Also in Pyagnyavivardhan stotra which is recommended for students of any stream even for Jyotishas(REF: -Skanda Purana ) Shri Kartikeya is termed as " Brahmachari ShikhiDwaja" in Second Sloka!! So what is Brahmachari? So what I mean to say is if everyone follows his/her own tradition it will be better !! Because Sthala,Kaala,Sthithi will change for every one every time!! Like Sarbaniji says Shri Dattatreya Tantra is worst used in Black magic!! As She is more knowledgeble and I'm unaware in Tantras, the only part Vedha Diksha is known openly But in Maharashtra many are considering Devi's utilisation is worst in Tantra for Black Magic & Shri Dattatreya is the most pious and He's above all as He includes not only Vishnu but Brahma & Rudra also!! ( There are various forms of Shri Dattatreya Ekmukhi, Trimukhi , Satguru of all Gurus, etc) Also in Maharashtra there is Shakti Pitha of Renuka Or Ekvira at Mahur and exactly oposite to Shri Datta Aashrama !! And consider that Shri Parshurama get the Tripura Rahasya from Shri Dattatreya & destroy the Kshatriyas for 21times! He's requested by Mata to do agni samskara of Jamadagni who is consider as Shiva!! So every one will have his opinion as per the tradition he is brought up!! So ultimately every one is having his different traditions and on remedial part or fixing diety is not so easy if we consider tradition also!! Now coming to your part on fixing diety first of all we should consider the Gunas in every diety!! Like Shri Narsimha is ugra devata, Skanda is Rajasik Devata as consider as Devsenapathi and Hanumanji is Das or total surrender so most Satwik!! So I think with different dieties (Like Ishta,Phalan,Guru,Dharma etc. ) we are having different Guna associated so Considering this part one should select appropriate Diety!! And this will interprete as per tradition! So keep Your Viveka to find Diety !! All the best to all of you & may get bless from your beloved dieties!! And Lastly I 'll like to quote which is the ultimate every has to achieve in his births or series of birth is :-- " Na Punyam Na Paapam, Na Saukhyam Na Dukham Na Mantro Na Tirtham, Na Veda Na Yagnya Aham Bhojanam Naiva Bhojyam Na Bhoktaa ChidanadaRupah Shivo-ham Shivo-ham" Attachment: (image/jpeg) 011504_LREC_Backstage_Ashanti.jpg [not stored] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 ||Shri GaneshDattaGurubhyo Namah|| Dear Sajiji, I do respect your views and modest opinion !!
