Guest guest Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 I would like to take the opportunity to say that yoni puja in itself has three paths (sattwic, tamas and rajas). What you have mentioned about that yoni and it's puja yes that is a good form of worship in Tantra. But in regard to yoni it is not the reproductive organ people think it to be. The yoni is an esoteric word and it means (through the esoteric meaning) the centre of one's creative energy, the kundalini's centre. That is the yoni that should be invoked, the mantra for the yoni is simple "maam meem muum maim maum maah" this mantra invokes the yoni shakti. Shiva and shakti are both one and the same, just like energy has many forms they just vary in name and (how we perceive it) form, remember the perception that they are formless and no different to you is the best perception. If you have a established yoni and it is tantrically charged then you can attain shakti from it, the mantras that are best suited to yoni is that of guhya kalika and kamakhya devi. Some say that devi lajja gauri can be called through it as well. In terms of worship with chinnamasta the female saddhak need not worry about it, just do yoni nyasa and you are set, however if you are male then you must worship a flesh and blood woman as goddess chinnamasta. Remember Tantras are not to be taken literally that is the path of the fool. Unless you follow aghora agama all other tantras that have any literal sexual connotation would have to be interpreted differently for know this, devi mentions to shiva that those who take the tantra literally are fools hence it is known as the path of fools. Yoni puja is just extracting energy from the kundalini. The only place where you should make yoni is when you do homa to summon a deity, the homa kunda is made into a 18 khand yoni chakra then 6 kumbhas and 5 kalasas are made. So there are many ways of perceiving yoni puja, that yoni ling which basically is the worship of guhya kali and kamahkya, the female organ which is the worship of dakshina kali and chinnamasta and the esoteric yoni which is universal in nature and takes you to the heart of the female divinity, and the tantra kunda which I will no delve into. You later asked for the chinnamasta utkilana mantra, I am not you guru and it is not my position to give you such powerful mantras, I am no master in her worship or her tantra. If you mess it up you will get punished, all her tantras emphasise on a competent guru. You can delve into even pishachini tantra and kali or bhairava tantra without a guru but when it comes to goddess chinnamasta you need protection. Those who I have practised this without a guru (some I know and I some I prescribed to), they call on one of her attendants before either yogini, varnini or dakini. Dakini mata is one of my favorite mothers, she yields power unmatched and comes swiftly when you call her. But she isn't just an ethereal being her shakti resonates in black matter and other sub atomic particles, just like devi kali's resonates in black holes. When you open your kundalini knowledge like this will come to you instantly however it is a matter of refining them into wisdom a.k.a vinyana. If you have a competent shakta guru then he/she can show you their kundalini charkas and how devi plays in them, that is the best method to search out a competent guru amongst other factors. Tantra is a way of life and not easy, for people who want easy stable and are patient then the vedic path is better suited. For those who can take pains and go through hardships that are beyond their physical capacity they are suited for tantra. You need to be physically, mentally and emotionally fit then you can train your prana or else you can get turn into a vegetable, depression or die. I am not saying this to scare you. I am saying, that is the theory of chinnamasta sadhana, it is hard but accelerative. It is the hardest and most rewarding tantric sadhana. Keep this in mind before you ask me for her sadhana.
