maybe sometime in the future when you have the time if you could please post on

the bare minimum requirement for a householder involved in Sri Vidya sadhana...

thanx

 

 

 

The question could have been easier if Premjee had only said a householder not

involved in Srividya Sadhana. Since Sri Vidya is included, as such, I am

incompetent to answer on my own but quote whatever our Masters have said.

 

 

 

As per Pujya Smt . Rajam Mami an authority on Sri Vidya, has indicated what

should be the daily routine of a person involved in Sri Vidya Sadhana. Pujya

Mami herself is a householder having a daily routine apart from guiding

thousands of sishyas throughout the world. So these great Guru's activities

should motivate us in our daily Sadhana assuming that we are hard pressed for

time. To quote H.H Swamy Chinmyayajee on the subject -- " Spirituality is a

full time business".

 

 

 

THE DAILY ROUTINE for a SRIVIDYA SADHAK :

 

 

 

A very exacting daily routine is prescribed for the sincere and committed Sri

Vidya Upasaka, covering all activities from the time of waking up early in the

morning until retiring to bed at night. Their purpose is to make the Sadhak

constantly meditate on the Shiva - Shakthi swaroopa, even while engaged in other

occupations. An appropriate example is that of a dancer, with several mud pots

on her head, dancing without a flaw, without missing a step, to the music all

the time, while concentrating on the mud pots that they do not fall down.

 

 

 

The minimum routine prescribed for the upasaka include Dhayana of Guru,

Praanayama, Divya Mangala Dhayana, Rasmi Maala, Ajapaa - Samarpanam , Ablutions,

Sandhya Vandhana ( Vedic + Tantric ), different kinds of Paarayana such as

Natha, Tattva, Thithinitya, Naama,Manthra Parayana Japa and conclude with PUJA

like LS or Navavarana or Chandi paat.

 

 

 

As regards Japa it should be noted that the manthra of each Denatha should be

chanted only at the appropriate time -- Eg ; Sri Maha Ganapathy can be chanted

only in the morning, that of Shyamala in the afternoon, that of Vaarahi in the

night after sun set.

 

 

 

For greater efficacy the Sadhak should try to keep in mind the meaning of the

manthras and pronounce the letters in the manner explained in the Varivasya

Rahasya of Sri Baskararaya.

 

 

 

As regards puja can be done as Para or Apara or Para - Apara as explained in one

of the earlier mail.

 

 

 

 

 

WHY A MINIMUM DAILY ROUTINE PRESCRIBED IS SO MUCH .

 

 

 

The individuality of a person is but the resultant of his

feelings,emotions,ideasand thoughts in relation to the objective world which one

has experienced in thousands of births and rebirths and which bend him down to

the world of objects. This play is enacted for ever and ever and there is is no

escape there from unless the person can extricate from this grip of darkness to

free oneself from the karmic sheath one has acquired.

 

When one by the grace of Devi takes refuge at the holy feet of Divine Mother --

one can get a knowledge - the Brahma Vidya through constant efforts of purifying

the mind by religious works, penances, devotions as prescribed in the daily

routine. It should be remembered that no sadhak's work and toil may go amiss.

Such a trained mind takes another birth to further thoroughly train in

spirituality till it is brought in harmony with the super senuous truths, before

one can hope to be able to understand the true import that with which the

metaphysical science deals. Sri Vidya Sadhana the Tantra categorically

declares that all and each cannot hope to step into the precincts of Sri Vidya

which is exclusively reserved for a person with an ultimate mission of MOKSHA --

realising oneself and one gets by Devi's grace when only a few births are left.

This is the culmination of all paths, the consummation of all transformations.

 

Indeed the all pervading form of DEVI functioning in the unimaginable cosmos,

can only be directly perceived internally and for that the whole life is a

sacrifice for wiping out one's own karmic personality and " I " am ness is

dedicated and liquidated through all thoughts, deeds and speech to the Divine

mother , who finally reveals HERSELF in the heart of the Sadahak -- when one

directly perceives the truth of the Mahamthras of the Upanishads.

 

 

 

As earlier said the reply could have been simpler Premjee -- Had you put a

simple question a bare requirement for a householder omitting the word ' Sri

Vidya Sadhana "

 

 

 

For this we have to take the guidance from Maha Perivaal of Kanchi who in one of

his great spiritual speech advises as under . (this information is from my very

close Sri Vidya Upasakar Mr. Chandra Mouli living in this part of the globe but

whose family has been directly associated with Shree Matam on a full time basis

for thirteen generations without a break ).

 

 

 

For the householders who are overwhelmed with the households, Perivaal advises

that such persons should take time for at least ten minutes in a day, regularly

at an appointed time , at the same place, which can be even a bedroom, if the

person has only one room, should light a Lamp and sing Bhajans or recite

whatever the shlokas one has learnt or if one is ignorant -- shout from his

heart -- Rama - Krishna - Ambaa or Narayana for 10 minutes. For the one's who

can sing it is not the talent or raga that matters but a desire to surrender to

the supreme through a heart felt call which reaches the Divine Mother. Divine

Mother is very pleased with such calls, which can be compared to a child of five

years seeking refugee to the physical mother muttering something in the midst of

its play and returning to the outside world of its own to play again. This

happiness of physical mother is only a reflection of the Divine Mother and what

is important is the PURE LOVE.
