No they are totally different, this mistake is because the mantra's are

similar( ie the same mantra) but the dhyana sloka gives the bala as with

once face, four arms seated on a blooming blue lotus, while kulasundari has

six faces-three eyed and twelve arms,seated on a boat.

o Sub : BALA TRIPURA SUNDARI (BTS) AND KULA SUNDARI NITHYA (KSN )

 

 

 

 

 

o The main difference between BTS and KSN can be summarised in a

nutshell from a hymn from "TAITTTRIYA UPANISHAD " . This particular hymn is

chanted and popular while doing Karpoora Arti to Devi or any God for that

matter.

 

 

 

The Hymn goes as……." NA TATRO SURYO BHATI NA CHANDRA TARAKAM………….. VIBHATI"

 

 

 

Meaning : Although the sun,stars, and other luminaries are said to be self

luminous yet they do not shine forth of themselves, but they shine by the light

of Supreme.

 

 

 

Here the Sun--Stars ---are the KSN and BTS the Supreme.

 

 

 

o Lalitha Para Bhattarica is contemplated by a upasaka as a seven year

old charming girl in BTS and She is the very para Brahman. Her miniscule energy

is contemplated as KSN on the thithi Shukla Paksha Navami and Krishna Paksha

Sapthami. (Sri Lalitha is also contemplated as taruni, Suvaasini etc.)

 

 

 

o The manthra for BTS - " IM-KLEEM-SOWHU "and the mantra for KSN - "

Lum-IM-KEEM-SOWHU -Lum Kula sundari Nithya Namaha. So the mantrhra is not same

for both.

 

 

 

o Bala is also contemplated in many ways as Bala -- Ekkakshari, Bala -

tryaakshari, Bala- Shadaakshari, Yoga Bala Navakshari, and her letters (Beejam )

is also added to Panchadaskshari when it is known as Sow Bhagya panchadashi

manthra.

 

My father used to discourage me taking to Upasana for the sole reason that the

sadhak may go mad if he is not strong enough and mentally be prepared, when the

deity appears in dream or in the waking state as a result of sadhana. Initially

I could not understand what he meant. After going through the scriptures, I

could understand what he meant. Suddha Panchadashi mantra contemplates her as

Taruni -- an eternal young lady where as, for the majority Sadhaks GURU only

initiates Sowbhagya Panchadashi embedding the BALA mantras in the panchadashi

and even when Ambaal appears as explained, she would be only as 7 year old girl

..The sadhak would not be deluded as a result. She is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL and

there can be no comparison in any earthly sense.

 

 

 

o I wish to add here, in the most popular Tamil Hymn in praise of Lord

Subrahmanya -- "Skandar Shasti Kavacham " - bala mantra is hidden in the middle

of the hymn as " iyyum Kileum Kileyum sowwum " and that is one of the reason for

the popularity and power of the Hymn which answers all the devotee's earnest

asking.

 

 

 

o BTS is Maha Nithya whereas KSN is only a Nithya. Maha Nithya means

beyond time and eternally Exisiting and is the very Atma. A specific time period

is nithya--as KSN is the energy of the day on Shukla navami and Krishna Pakshsa

sapthami. If one wants to further study on nithyas -- the Tantra Raja Tantra

describes comprehensively the Dhiyana,Rupa,yantra,Puja Vidhi of all the thithi

Nithyas.

 

 

 

 

 

o The Dhiyana Shloka of BTS contemplates Her as -- The one who spreads

her Red radiance in all directions and the one holding the Japa Mala in one hand

and a Book on the other hand with the Abhya mudra and Vara mudra sitting on

Kalhara flower bestowing Mangala on the devotee be visible in my heart. ( this

is may not be an expert translation but could be useful for the purpose of this

article ).

 

 

 

 

 

o KSN Dhiyana shloka contemplates her as six faces and twelve arms --

The one who is propitious, supremely kind and with six lotus like faces and with

three eyes in each face. She is red seated on lotus and smeared with blood. Her

shakthies are red and carries in her hands a rosary of coral beads, a lotus, a

kamandalu made of gems, a drinking cup made of gems,full of wealth, a lemon and

with one hand she makes a gesture of explanation. In the left hand she has a

book, a red lotus, a golden pen, a conch shell a garland of gems.She makes vara

mudra and surrouded by devas, Gandharvas, yakshas , raakshas and like…….

 

 

 

 

 

o KSN parivara Devathas are

pasha,saraswathi,vaani,samskrutha,praakrutha,para,katgarupa,viddarupa,ramya,anan\

da and kowduka.KSN Yantra as it appears to me very slightly differs from BTS --

in the central circle as appears from the drawing I have. This central circle is

only HALF DRAWN as SEMI CIRCLE and does not have the lower portion of the

circle. ( pl do not ask me any technical question on this as I am an ignorant

child of Devi muttering something).

 

 

 

o BTS upasana is also also known as Laghu Srividya upasana and the

spiritual aspirant is initiated with Guru Paduka Mantra which is a MUST for

SriVidya upasana. In short HER upasana is for the ultimate purpose of all lives

of all Jivaas -- THE MOKSHA (She knows what to give as Bhoga for the aspirant )

 

 

 

o KSN upasana is done exclusively for all kamya karmas specially -- for

attainment of learning and scholarly knowledge.riches and wealth and winning

over the enemies. (Bhoga )

 

 

 

I would like to conclude this article with an unforgettable incident reported.

 

 

 

Recalling an incident in the life of MAHA PERIVAAL at SALEM -- Tamil Nadu.

 

 

 

When perivaal was doing the Tripura sundari Sametha Chandra Moulieeshwara puja,

a girl of five sitting on a mother's lap, started crying suddenly demanding that

she be provided with a green paavadai (frock) and the girl was directing her

hand to wards perivaal which none understood.Not knowing the significance, the

mother and other devotees there, tried to calm the child with some toys, fearing

the disturbance in the midst of puja. she went on insisting on it which

attracted perival's attention. Perivaal immediately summoned one of his aides

and asked him to fetch a new green frock for the girl. This was promptly done

and the child was quietened, however on the same day at about three in the noon

the child passed away. When this was reported to perivaal, It was later on

learnt that the child saw literally " Bala Tripura Sundari with green silk

paavadai " seated on the lap of Maha Perivaal as a seven year old girl at the

time of puja. When the little girl witnessed her with the all Sathwic mind of a

child , her LAST JANMA -LAST Birth was over-- jivaathma merging with the

paramathma, Supreme Lalitha Maha tripura Sundari.
