i keep getting this thought,while doing lalitha,

palastuti,71 stanza describing 10 dieties,

 

 

ganga bhavai gayatri kali laxmi saraswathi

rarajeswari bala shyamal lalitha dasha

 

are they dieties for dasha vidya,i saw the file on dasha maha vidya on

the site,I know gayatri sadhana done as sooryopasana and as sri

vidya,could anyone through light regarding this,

 

the last stanza, sri siva sivashaktiikya swaroopni lalitha'

 

it would be nice to hear and learn from a sri vidya upasaka,

 

 

amarnath.

Dear Amarnath KashibhatlaGaru,

 

That stanza is not indicative of dashamahavidya.

 

The dashamahavidya deities are different.

 

That stanza which goes like this is in two parts and is the 70th

stanza as per phala nirnaya and is the only stanza which is has four

lines in the phalashruthi...

 

the stanza does not start with ganga bhavani as is popularly

published... it starts with teshu mukhyam dasha vidham

 

I had been giving the names of saharanama with my own commentary and

till now a few names have been covered...when i have time i will

tell,about it in greater detail.....

 

teshu mukhyam dashavidham namasaahasranmuchyathe

ganga bhavani gayathri kali lakshmi saraswathy

rajarajeshwari balaa shyamala lalaitha dasha

rahasyanaama saahasramidam shashtam dashaswapi.......

 

then next stanza(71rst verse goes on....

 

tasmaath sankeerthanam kalidosha nivruthyae'

mukhyam srimaathru naamethi na jaananthi vimohitaaha

 

.....this comes in the context of hayagreeva exponuding to agasthya

as explained by suta maharishi in brahmanda puraanam...in the

context of telling that greatness of devi's sahasranama

he compares bewteen vishnu saharanama shiva saharanama and devi

saharanama and ssay devi shaaranama is the greatest in the order and

among them there are ten devi sharanamas and they are that of

 

ganga

bhavani

gayathri

kali

lakshmi

saraswathy

rajarajeshwari

bala

shyamala

lalitha

 

and one who recites anyone of these sahasranam will be free of kali

dosha.

 

loukikaan vachanaan mukhyam vishnu naamaukeerthanam

 

.....loukeekas(worldly people say that vishnu saharanama is important)

 

vishnunaamasaharaaccha shivanaamaikamuttamam

 

more than vishnu saharanama shiva saharanama is better

 

shivanaama saharaaaccha devyaanamaikamuttama

 

greater than shiva sharanama is one name of devi!

 

devinaama sahasraani kotisha santhi kumbhaja

 

there are crores of devi sahasranamas(only a few known to

earthlings) oh khumbhaja!(referring to Agasthya rishi who came out

of a khumba(pot)...(ja means birth) during shiva's marriage and went

back to south...according to another lore.....he was born of two

vedic celestials out of a khumba due to an apsara....

 

 

This is the significance of the dasha and this has no connection

with dasha mahavidya which is different.

 

dasha maha vidya devis are

 

tara and kali

 

the vidyas for the above are called mahavidyas(only for very

advanced people)

 

then

 

shodasi

bhuvaneshwari

bharivai

chinnamastha

dhumavathy

 

these five vidyas are called vidyas(vidya also has an artha of

mantra)

 

the last three among dasha maha vidyas are called siddha vidyas they

refer to deities

 

Mtangi

Kamala

Bagalamukhi

 

the first two are for advanced aspirants

 

then next five are for most of the devotees

 

the last three are meant for devotees intent on magical skill and

violent results.

 

In this context I would like to mention thjat there is a powerful

saharanama called 'Rajarajeshwari Saharanama' given by lord shiva to

His son Karthikeya. This is intertwined with the nyasa comprising of

soubhagya vidya. I have with me the text and i will scan it soon as

soon as iam free...iam right now going to another city for an urgent

personal commitment and i will surely translate each word from that

superb saharanama too as i do for lalitha saharanama. this group is

here to stay and i will not close it abruptly.This group is not just

mine, it is Amba Rajarajeshwari's!

 

Iam just trying my best to manage my personal commitements with

other activites.

 

 

rEGARDING THE MENAING OF SHIVA-SHAKTHIIYYKIYA.....The last nama of

the saharanama...it refers obviously to the conjointness of shiva

and shakthi...b hut there are more gooda arthas(secretive meanings)

which i will dwell upon when i come to that nama please be patient.

 

Meanwhile check out all my postings regarding other namas and

srividya related quries from the first message of this groupo till

now using the message archive facility.

 

Hope this satisfies you.

 

Yours yogically,

p.s. your other query reaagrding gayathri mantra being done as soorya upasana

and srividya upasana is a good one. Yes, it is done in two manners. the Vedic

seers knew three things vedas, tantras and aghoram...and they classified all

upasanas into three subdivisions. So a truie rishi has mastered all nuances of

all vedas(not just four but thousands even on other relams) and can bring the

power into their body system and he has also mastered all tantras(not just 64

but many many more) and he should be the greattest aghori(equivalent to lord

shiva), then he can be midly called rishi!...then just think about the power of

a brahma rishi!

 

gayathri upsana in the vedic way referred to the sun. Infact the agni metaphor

was related to the sun metaphor. Agni is a substitiute for sun. Many vedic

verses are cryptical and have highly secretive meanings.

 

Gayathri in the srividya upasana way is called yoga gayathri with sampoorna

gayathri mantra being the highest known to humans.

 

 

I will give an elaborate article later.
