In Srividya Navavarana Puja , certain followers of devotees known as “ VAMACHARAS“ use the five (pancha Makaras) elements or Tattva namely Wine,Meat,Fish,Parched Cereal and Maithuna. ( Madya,Mamsa,Matsya,Mudra and Maithuna). – In this regard “khadambaripriya Means “She who is very fond of good Wine.” –for Vamachara upasakas Wine is taken as Her prasadam. This is authorized by the THRIPUROPANISHAD as under: Parisrutham jashamAdhyam palam cha bhakthani yoni: suparishkruthani // Nivedayanthey vathayay mahathyay swathmikrithya sukruthi siddi methi // How ever certain restrictions apply which I would discuss at the end before concluding. 2. in Durga Sapthasathi DEVI drinks wine in order to bring RAJO GUNA to her and kill HER Own child who has asuric and negative tendencies and save the world, so that Her Avyaga Karuna (love without Agenda ) or pure love does not prevent Her from taking such action . 3. I would like to take you through to similar other Namavalis as the one above for cross reference: certain other namavali like Madu preetha – Through wine or honey she is satisfied – Madhu mathi – she is with honey or wine –Maththa – She who is intoxicated either due to the wine or Math also means SELF –As She is The Supreme self of SIVA—Varuni Madu vivhala – Varuni is a the wine extracted from DATES and She who is intoxicated with Varuni Wine (this is only one of the meaning) 4. Kowlamarga tatpara sevita, SavyabasavyaMargasta, Dakshina Dakshinaradya,Samayachara Tatpara are some of the namavali where the practice of Aradhana using wine can be cross referred. VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION Dear Devotees, · I would like to sound a word of caution .It is to be remembered that while nothing is wrong in this type of Sadhana which yield quick results,it can be practiced only by a Sadhaka having an extreme control over senses and is to be remembered that only under the authority of a competent Guru who alone could say whether a disciple is competent or not for this ritual. It is not open to any one to enter upon it and do as he pleased. Unfortunately this noble principle has got a bad name due excesses indulgence leading to abuse bringing dis repute to Sri Vidya Upasana.. In life it is a mistake to altogether neglect the pragmatical aspect of the theory. · The sadhakas have been divided into three classes—PASU, VIRA, and DIVYA. And for each the tantras prescribes a suitable sadana ,Tamasik,Rajasik and Satwik accordingly. The panchatatwa ritual in its full literal sense is not for pasu and the Divya but for the VIRA who has conquered his senses. Thus the vira sadhana of the saktha tantra makes ritual use of what will appear to most to be impure and repulsive. This is done to accustom the worshipper not to see impurity in them but to regard them as all else, as manifestation of divinity. He is taught that there is nothing impure in itself in natural function though they are made, by misuse or abuse, the instruments of impurity here again impurity consists not in the act per se but in the way and in the intention with which it is done. So to a vira who does with the right intention as an instrument of worship and overcomes TAMAS BY SATVA. The whole of life in all its rightful particulars with out any single exception may be an act of worship if man but makes it so.of course if a man regards any function as impure his mental disposition is such that he cannot worship therewith. To do so would distract and perturb him. He is thus according to the theory of this practice led to divinise his functions and by their constant association with the thought of Brahman his mind is it is said purified and led away from cardinal desires to become one with Devi. · IN THIS “KALIYUGA THERE IS MOSTLY PASUBHAVA “ and VIRA BHAVA is only a very rare exception and therefore any sadhaka trying it without sense control is compared to the danger of walking on the edge of a sword or embracing a ferocious lion . regards Ganapathy --- Vijaya AUM shrImAtre namaH AUM namaH shivAya AUM namaH shivAbhyAm Archives : http://www.ambaa.org/ (Edited) : /messages// Contact : help Ganapathy --- Vijaya " Jai Bhavani " - - - - " Jai Sri Lalitha Maha Maha Tripura Sundari " " Sarvam Shakti Mayam Jagathu " Mail Plus - Powerful.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 First of all, I request the members to follow some standard transliteration scheme. You can pick what you want, but as long as you try to be consistent, it will be easy to read. I would suggest using ITRANS www.aczone.com/itrans/ (see footnote). It will easier to correct if we make a mistake within a framework. The word kAdambarI has more than one meaning. a) kAdambarI = sarasvatI ambaaL is fond of sarasvatI b) kAdambari = honey collected from kadamba flowers ambaaL is fond of this honey. c) kAdambari = is liquid drink made from rain water collected in kadamba trees which are mixed with the honey of kadamba flowers. ambaaL is fond of this drink d) kAdambari = wine made from the honey of kadamba flowers ambaaL is fond of this drink. I would put this as the least preferred meaning. Not withstanding the fact that there is nothing wrong for a devatA to drink wine. This is because the rules govern the divine beings and humans are not same. e) kadamba = mixture, variety One can stretch this word and say kAdambari is that which is derived from this kadamba. Thus denoting this universe of variety. ambAL being the sustainer and supporter of this variegated universe. She is called kAdambarI priyA. Thanks.
