More on Srividya !

August 4, 2002

Dear Members!

Very less is being posted on Srividya. Can the learned

members like Sri Harshanandji write more on this escoteric subject. I

am eagerly waiting for his enlightening posts from many days! Also

harshaji, please elaborate on Navavidha Aikyanusandhana, which i have

heard is a speciality of Srividya, placing it above even Kalikula. I

would also want to know about Prapanchadhikarana thoery and about the

significance of Shaktichalini mudra. Very less is being written about

srividya on the web. May be the reason is the very small number of

actual sadhakas with practical knowledge of the Vidya and not merely

some theoretical jabbering from Avlon! Sites like Srividya and others

deal with some practical aspects but concepts of Samayachara are not

discussed anywhere. I know that these have to be received through a

Guru, but in these days if the same secrecy is continued to be

maintained, we might lose this knowledge for ever. Kindly share with

us ur immense knowledge of samayachara and Kundalini yoga as related

to Srividya. It would also be very helpful if you wrote something

about the exact procedure of Shabda and Artha Srishti. If possible,

have a look at my website and comment on it. Shakti Sadhana is a

great place to discuss a lot of interesting things, but it lacks

quality....the posts (other than a few)are simply lift overs from

some other website or some popular book. Very less is actually

written about Sadhana. Lot of discussion about less important,

irrelevant topics have become a frequent occurence. I sincerely hope

Shakti Sadhana returns to its original form.

Har har mahadev!

My $0.02:

a.. I do not agree that the possible loss of the knowledge of Srividya is a

sufficient justification for posting the many details of the secret worship on

the WEB. Even if the knowledge is lost for a time, it will come back due to

God's grace at the right time through the right vehicle as happend to Kashmir

Shaivism after Abhinavagupta.

b.. A serious sadhak emptying his soul and revealing all his / her experiences

on the WEB only dilutes them and subjects them to endless intellectual analysis

and debates. In the final analysis, each sadhak has to experience it by his

individual efforts based on the grace and each takes his / her own time!!!

c.. Lakshmidhara has already revealed the sacred sixteenth syllable of the

mantra and invited anybody interested to be his disciple. For the right

aspirant, the guru will show the path and the details of the worship. The guru

does not have to be in a physical body!

Cheers

Mukti

I want more too!

Somebody asked me as to why I approve this post. The person feels

that this post is full of negativity with an intention to provoke.

Well I leave the good members of this group to decide weather this

message is bad or good. As for me, I approve it because I feel it beg

an answer. As my co founder remarked in his anniversary

speech : "make it a

point never to reject a post simply because it's critical of me or

Nora or our views"

Now back to Mr Mike Magee, our newest member. And I am amused to read

that Mr Mike Maggie have been "eagerly waiting for this

enlightening

posts from many days!" to appear in Shakti Sadhana. Am I missing

something here?

"Very less is being written about srividya on the web. May be

the

reason is the very small number of actual sadhakas with practical

knowledge of the Vidya and not merely

some theoretical jabbering from Avlon!"

We have discuss about this in the previous post with regards to Avlon

theoretical jabbering and the practical aspect of the Vidya. See

message [2577 onwards]. My sincere thanks to Muktiji for his $0.02

opinion. All opinion are respected weather it is 2 cts or no cents.

Books are thoughts in written form which is also a representation of

Saraswati Devi. To scorn at books is the same as scorning at Devi

herself. It is not right to demand Knowledge from someone. It will

come to you when it is meant to be. And like Dashiki Djibouti ; I

too like to have more SriVidyas posts in here. We have with us

several Sri Vidyas initiated Sadhaks, and if they choose not to post

anything on SriVidyas it is their own choice. It is not a policy of

Shakti Sadhana to black list or kick a member out just because they

don't post.

"Lot of discussion about less important, irrelevant topics have

become a frequent occurrence"

I believe this statement is very bias. What is relevant to one is

irrelevant to another. So how do we define what is and what is not

relevant. What is Quality to you might turn out to be

`garbage' to

another.

Shakti Sadhana [ if you look at our homepage ] is a spiritual

practice of that focuses worship upon Devi, the Goddess, the Divine

Mother who creates and embodies all the Universe. The whole concept

of Shakti Sadhana itself is very complex and wide. There are various

paths within Shakti Sadhana, and Sri Vidya is one of the aspect and I

believe it is one of the most establish and oldest.

We should not forget that in this Group exist members from other

paths too : Hindus and Non Hindus who are here to learn. They are

from all the various spiritual levels. Some are beginners whilst

others are more advanced. And it is our policy to encourage

discussions with that are directly and indirectly related to the

spiritual practice of Shakti Sadhana. We appreciate members who come

in here and willing to share their findings be it a "lift overs

from

some other website or some popular book", but at least they make

an

effort of doing something instead of criticizing without giving a

solution or making any contributions.

" I sincerely hope Shakti Sadhana returns to its original

form"

Amen to this Mr Mike Magee.

And in my opinion the original form : A form that embrace all other

form of Divinity female or male, as they are but Her diverse

manifestations. We aim at achieving worldly contentment, divine

enlightenment &; ultimate liberation by surrendering to Shakti, the

Divine Feminine!

Om ParaShaktiye Namaha

Parasrama says "Swa maathru jaaravath Gopyathaa" (s one will not speak of one's

own mother's illicit relationship so shall one not speak of Sri Vidya.)

Raajyam deyam; Shirodeyam; na deya Shodashaashari.

We can speak publicly only to the extent needed to excite a potential sadhaka to

start his quest, rest has to be learnt from Guru and then through personal

experience.

My two paise.

By the way Maggie what is ur web site would like to see it.
