mind is oblation!!

srim lalithayai namaha

 

shodashi says to all the devi svarupinis

 

Sveccha kuru , do what you feel like doing .Some prefer the samashana

kriti(invocation of the divine on cremation ground) some prefer the

simplest way of calling upon devi on the normal puja vidhi,some chant

Laitha sahasranamam,some durga saptasati and others call kali ma.

some follow the samaya sampradya,some follow the misra sampradya and

some kaula

 

U read LS,U read durga mahatayam,u know that each name provides a

different attribute to the mother divine.Each facet of the devi is

worth worshipping.

It's all upto to u to pick which way u want to take.

 

But then ,u stop and ruminate on this fact ,u are a manifestation ,so

depending upon ur manas tattva ,u will prefer to pray one form of

devi more than others.This does not mean that all the others facets

of puja or kriti or devis are inferior.

 

In all forms of yoga ,the objective is one and the same,the ultimate

bliss .Yes there are cases when u acquire a siddhi or power u become

deluded by it's power and mind you, u will get deluded from the whole

objective that's, being one with the divine.

 

So all our deliberations on the samashana kriti does not matter, each

disciple ,each bhakta has his/her way of adoring and worshipping the

divine.So be it.

 

I understand the fact, we might not appreciate or comprehend the mode

of puja and worship,but

that's the bhakta's choice and we cannot comment on the same.

 

To any sadhana,all that transpires is divine grace,when we pray or

worship,we become the object and subject of worship,not the vigraha

nor the mantra,nor the puja vidhi.

 

The oblation is our mind ,not the clarified butter (ghee) nor any of

the ingredients of worship.
