Guest guest Report post Posted May 27, 2002 Dear all Sathguru Santhanantha Swamigal of Pudukkottai Bhuvaneswari Temple, Skandashramam of Salem and Chennai has reached Sripuram on 27.05.2002 early morning at 6:30 am. Obseques and burial will be at Salem Skandashramam today afternoon. A great yogi par excellence, a sadhaka of high order, he was a Bhuvaneswari Upasaka through Srividya, a specialist in Siddha Bhuvaneswari, a very difficult path. Upasana of Bhuvaneswari Maa, it may not be an exaggeration to say, he was instrumental in making it popular. He was a specialist in Samputam (joining) of mantras. A week back, there was a grand Homam at Pudukkottai with samputam of Dakshina Kali and Vanadurga Mantras. Another rare characteristic of his was his Catholicity towards other paths. He was not too possessive nor declaring that his path was the only or best path. The world will be much better off with siddhas like him.

Guest guest Report post Posted May 28, 2002 At the outset, it was a sad news that Sri Santhananadaji is no more with us. And, it is a shock too for the Sakthas, as no one has done so much to the worship of Her thru Havans - a powerful method. He has researched so much that the havans now famous viz. Atharvana Bhadrakali, Chandi, Sarabar, various Ganapathis, were performed by Him some 45 years ago. People might know that when he first did the Sahasra Chandi havan, he went to Paramacharyal for His blessings, as it required just Rs 25, 000 (40 years ago it was a big amount). Till about 15 days before the fixed date, no money and he was worried. Meanwhile, Brahmasri Anantharama Dikshidhar of Sengalipuram went to Kanchi for darshan. Paramacharyal asked Dikshidhar to perform Navaham (Srimad Ramayanam) at Pudukkottai. It fetched money to more than meet the expenses of Sahasra Chandi. Two things were clear. Paramacharyal's anugraham, and Santhanandaji's vyragyam in performing gigantic tasks. That was history, heard from devotees. Bhvaneswari is adishthana devata for Saktha worship -- Sri Vidya slightly differs, where we worship Parameswara & Parameswari together (Parameswari occuping the Anga of Parameswara). Here one interesting doubt. We know that Sri Chakram contains all the devatas such that when doing Navaavarana pooja proper, we worship trayattrikumsat koti devatas. Also, all the modes of worship are included. In some modes of Srividya (Sri Kulam), Chaturayatana (Ganapati, Marthanda Bhairava, Vishnu & Samba Parameswara) worship is left out, whereas it is found in the Dakshina sampratayas. Some learned explained that Srikula thinks, it is not necessary to add this as She is all. But, in Dakshina, Vaideeka takes prominence. Also, worship of Panchayatanam is quite common and a must in this part. So, here we have added Chaturaayatanam to complete. Look forward to further notes from friends on this. Namaskar to Devi and Her Bakhtas.

Guest guest Report post Posted May 28, 2002 Sree mathre namah dear all, it is really sad to know that pujya swamiji has attained siddhi. that we with sareeras or bodies have lost another. i am sure, that he will join the Ougha Traya ie., Divyougha, Siddhougha and Manavaugha in the Guru Mandala (the Upper Quadrant above the Bindu in Sri Chakra) and would difinitely advise us when required to the eligible. He has become one with the Lord Vishnu which means that all pervading. Om Namo Narayanaya. all the members of the Mahasaktha Asramam are with the members of Skandasramam in this moment. at the feet of my guru, saktha bandhu, Samvidaanandanatha Saktha ______ Outgrown your current e-mail service?
