Guest guest Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Namaste Friends, I was going through the index which is found online about the Rudrayamala tantra (well this is the best that i got on the web world) and the brief description of Chapter 7 drew my attention to the following (which i have copy pasted): This starts with a description of Kumari Puja. If performed, it is said to remove poverty and illness. The place of puja is either a Mahapitha or a Devi temple. The text lists the different maidens including Nati (actress), Kapaliki, Rajaki, Napita, Gopala, Brahmani, Vaishya, Shudra and Chandala. The girls should be given sweets and other pleasant things and treated as forms of the goddess incarnate. The mantras of the Kumaris are given. ___________________ Further to this what is of particular interest to me is that the worship of the goddess as a gopala. My humble request to you friends...would be to throw some light on this aspect. Kind regards Arunisha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
