Guest guest Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 Respected members, Is Shri Kula Sundari devi same as Shri Bala Tripura Sundari?? While seeing the photos of thithi nityas I found that the desription of both are similar and also the yantra seems similar. Kindly pardon my ignorance if I am wrong.

Interestingly enough, Shri Vidyaranya Muni, who was the Shankaracharya of Shringeri a few centuries back, quotes the Tripurarnava tantra, in his work Shrividyarnava, to show that Bala is identical with Nityaa nitya instead of Kulasundari. the sentence goes like "bAlA nityAnityayoH abhedAt.h...etc.etc." meaning "due to non-difference between Bala and NityA nitya....." rgds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
