Guest guest Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 93 The most detailed sourse is Meru-tantra. Besides it Pratyangira mantras and vidhi are given in Mantra-mahodadhi and some other texts. About gayatris i've never met such a rule; even if it is so, it is valid only for brahmanas (others are not supposed to do gayatri-japa). However Pratyangira-japa can be done not only by brahmanas. As far as i know, there are 2 mula-mantras of this form of Devi, one vedic and one tantric, and one mala-mantra. Pratyangira is sometimes identified with Bhadrakali and Siddhilakshmi. However it is far better to worship Devi in One form as Absolute: Kali, Kamalatmika, Tara, Tripurasundari etc. A. , "kochu1tz" <kochu1tz> wrote: > In my part of the country even that name is not mentioned.
