Guest guest Posted January 11, 2003 Report Share Posted January 11, 2003 Dear Ambaa-l Members: I have been told that the worship of Dhaneshwari is described in the Rudra-Jamal tantra. This text has not been translated into English. My reason for putting info on Dhaneswari up on website was find out if any members knew where the traditional worship of Dhaneshwari was still going on - in India. Apparently, no-one does. I did not mean to recommending the practice of Dhaneshwari's puja as some sort of Magic-Bullet to solve other's economic woes. Reason being, I performed the worship of Dhaneshwari for two years. I did not see any gold coins. My economic situation remained the same or perhapse back-slid a little. She may only give opportunities and inspiration, rather that actual gold coins. If one doesn't follow-up on these, one's situation will not improve. Also, one's economic situation is ruled by Karma, and the Goddess may not be willing to interfere with Lord Saturns (Shani's) drama. I feel that if the worship was done in the way that it was originally taught by Lord Shiva to Sree Parvati, that it might have more dramic results. My purpose in putting information on Her on the website was to find out if any of the members knew where it was still being practiced in its original form. The puja, as it has been taught recently, is mainly designed to give westerners, who may have no experience at all with tantric methods, gods, and goddesses, an experience to whet their appetite for more serious study. Practicing this puja CAN give one a vision of the Goddess Dhaneshwari. And She may give the practicioner some other experience to show what is possible. Dhaneshwari is a form of MahaLaksmi, who, Swami Satyananda Saraswati has said, shows you The Goal. This is the higher wealth that she can give. I'm sure that Sri Lalita does this too, and she is more accessible. Having perceived the goal, one still needs a method to achieve it. Shri Vidya is probably the most systematic and comprehensive method available these days. d. kerr - Ganesh Prasad As regards Dhaneshwari Pooja, which seems to be a new goddess in trend nowadays, I would request the learned memebers of this list who propogate the same, to furnish me details of works which mentions about this goddess. In my 2 cents opinion, I think it is better to stick to time tested paths laid down by great acharyas like Shankara and follow the method of worship laid therein.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2003 Report Share Posted January 12, 2003 dear shri daniel kerr, i fully understand what you are trying to say .... ThE rudra-yamala tantra is one of the oldest tantras . This is in the form of a nigama where lord shiva is asking the questions and shakti is answering... a huge amount of tantrik literature has been lost and shri rudra yamala tantra s obviously one of them but a large portions of its text are quoteed in ther tantras like kulachudamani and mahanirvana tantras. in fact. in kashmir shaivism, it is mentioned as one of the important sources . i would recommend you to get in touch with sri raja rajeshweri peetham of new york and there is a Sri vidya guru there who can perhaps tell you about 'dhaneshweri' puja! sorry, i wish i could help you more... love om sree matrayaii namaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
