Guest guest Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 Sub : Pancha Makara The five makaras are MADHYA,MAMSA,MASTYA,MUDRA AND MYTHUNA. Aa all the words start with M , the items used in Devi puja is called the pancha makaras. The practice of using these materials / aspects differs based on the sadhak being either a Dakshinachara or a Vamachara. As per “ AGAMA SARA “ , the philosophical meaning is explained below. · Madhya -- it is taken literally as liquor by Vamacharis, where as it is the Amruta or the ambrosia generated when the Kundalini raises from the Molladara Chakra to Sahasrara. · Mamsa -- is taken as meat by vamachara , where as it represents the tongue and the power of speech with the help of which the mantras are recited. · Masthya—is taken as fish by vamacharais, but it represents the nadi—pingala and ida on the spinal column and the continuous motion of the nadies as the ever moving fish. · Mudra --- is the awakening of the knowledge in pericarp of the 1000 petaled sahasrara. · Mythuna—the union of Shakti from the Kundalini to the Siva in Sahasrara which culminates in the supreme bliss (jivatma paramatma union) and that status of the sadhak is called the Nirvikalpa samadhi . Symbolically in the Avarana Puja for a Dakshinacharin—Madhya is the Vishesargya, Mamsa—is the ginger represents the flesh of the body and the recitation of the mantra with the tongue represents Masthya and due to the costant contemplation results in the mudra and mythuna as aforesaid. VAMACHARINS—PRACTICE AS PER KULARNAVA TANTRA The “KULARNAVA TANTRA” teaches practice of the rituals performed by a vamacharin and the sadhak go by the literal meaning as specified in the tantra. This tantra prescribes the necessary qualification of a disciple like the possession of a good character which must not be lewd, given over to drink, gluttony and woman. Such sadhak who is a rarity in kaliuga , is called a VIRA would make the ritualistic use as prescribed by the Sakta Tantra. All tantras counsels on dharma and morality and so While what will appear to most to be impure and repulsive substances because of ones karmic vasaanas, the worshipper because of his evolved mind does not see the impurity in them but regard them as the manifestation of AMBAAL. The sadhak is taught that there is nothing impure in itself, in natural function though they be made by misuse or through abuse results in the instruments of impurity, the impurity consists not in the act PER SE but in the way and in the intention with which it is done. The act done with the right intention are definitely an instrument of worship. Though I am DAKSHINACHARIN, I find several sadhaks of my type refusing to discuss or avoid discussion on the subject totally. I have tried to explain in the right perspective, as no TANTRA CAN BE FALSE OR WRONG. Unjust condemnation out of ignorance or unqualified commendation of such practice indeed harm such practice bringing disrepute to a holy scripture. It must be cautioned that such sadanas are very difficult path not applicable for the majority in this yuga and taking such sadhanas is like walking on the edge of a SWORD.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2003 Report Share Posted February 24, 2003 Dear Ganapathyji, Let me just clear one thing; Vamachara simply means the left hand path or more accurately the left current. This simply means is that you take shakthi's perspective or path to awakening the Kundalini. (Trust me I learnt this the hard way). Asuri Siddhanta simply means that you offer things or do rituals that has a high risk involved and is very accelerative. Deities don't tend to like this since this ritual instead of pleasing the deity forces or imposes certain things. Only a few goddesses tolerate this out of them Maha Pishachini or Chinnamasta mother is the most tolerant; that path was usually taken by the asuras thus it is known as the asuri siddhanta and many although shiva worshippers they were, were in fact great Masters of Vamachara. The occult compodium that is attributed to Dattatreya known as the Maha Indra Jaala or Mahendrajala (net of the senses) is first to be said to be taught to Lanka Naresha (Ravana). I know there are many contexts of Vamachara and the most widely accepted one is this blood and gory worship however the orthodox version would be as I stated since this definition predates the worship of the Goddess Ugra Tara who is a Kshetreya convention so that the Divine mother Tara help them in Battle. Tell me can a mother ever be blood thirsty? I normal or average sadhaka who invokes Devi as mother would see her as being asexual, immaculate, perfect in all ways and most of all loving. The Asuri siddhanta says something totally different. Kali Maa and Mother Chinna are invoked mostly in the Asuri genre that is since they are the most forgiving. Let me add one more thing; there are five security measures Lord Shiva took before he gave out the Tantras (it is through him all Tantric vidya came out no other form but Shiva) Firstly it is encrypted esp Kali Tantra since Kali tantra can make a person into a maha Avatar; its grotty to keep simpletons away from it since they are most prone to making Mistakes. God is loving and He doesn't want his children to suffer that is the reason and the second is that it does not get misused. We know the rest like kilanam, utdipika, aprana, vinashika, adiksha, abhoga and a few others. The Pancha makaras are like so instead you could offer betel nut, ghee lamp with kumkum, banana, coconut and via these offerings mother Kali allows your Kundalini to rise up your Anahata. The mantra for this is very simple: OM xxxx shreem kleem hreem xxxx mam xxxx devyeyee kuru kuru swaha Those three bijas I cannot reveal since if not done properly it can cause harm to the sadhaka; it can lead to nirvakalpa samadhi where the prana can also break the medulla area and escape. http://mobile..au - Mobile - Exchange IMs with Messenger friends on your Telstra or Vodafone mobile phone.
