Guest guest Posted September 18, 2003 Report Share Posted September 18, 2003 Dear Arvindji , I am indeed very happy to know that you have been initiated to Navakshari Mantra and i do not deserve any fraction of credit. I just kept wondering what had happened to your initiation subsequent to the private mail i had sent . This initiation has happened due to your Bhakthi and that too in a Mookshapuri like Kaanchi in front of lalitha Maha Tripurasundari -- Kaamaakshi Devi. On your query, i would like to state humbly that i am not competent to reply on the commandment of your Guru and feel that you should not question the wisdom of the Gurujee in a public forum. Assuming that you have been intiated by one of the Hota of the chandi Homam -- i am of the opinion that they are all well learned people attached to Sri Mutt. Kaanchi. Pl remember that Navakshari mantra alone on its own merit is one of the supreme mantras in Sri Vidya Upasana and constant mechanical repition of the mantra itself would place you in a very high spiritual orbit . To achieve this you should Blindly follow the guru's advice. ( scriptures Claim " Kalow Chandivinayakaw "-- Chandika and mahaganapathy are alone to be propitiated in kali yuga for the welfare of Mankind ) Doing Chandi Homa by yourself is a very difficult Technical job as you may see from the procedures and rituals prescribed in the Nirnaya Sagar publication .( it involves atleast ten parayana prior to homa -- you should be familiar with all the nyasas, the poorvanga part involves Ganesha puja -- sankalpa -- Punyavaachan,anugna -- Gruhapreethi -- Dasa pancha Dhani --Nandi and vaishnav shrad -- kalashasthapan --sthapan of various dities,Chandi avarana puja--agni prathishtan -- Mukantam -- ganapathy homa, navagraha homa - Devi Avahanam in the Homagni--pradahna Homa with 700 mantras-- bali-- arahnadi upachara puja as per bhavaopanishad-- Purnahuti and uttaranga procedures etc-- kumari puja -- suvasni puja -- to put this in a nut shell.) At every stage one must be able to fluently recite the elaborate Vedic mantras associated with each of the ritual and procedure -- and should know what has to be offered to Devi at the end of each chapter of Saptha Sathi homa -- to give you an example at the end of first chapter you should offer to Devi in the agni -- Black saree and blouse with Vlam phal ( in Tamil it is known as vilampazam ) apart from all types of dry fruits- white mustard-- one sweet --flowers -- bangles-- coconut etc etc which is common to all chapters -- the second chapter the ahuti consists of Red blouse and full arecnut and at the end of third chapter it is red saree with red blouse with honey ---- It goes on like this. The relationship between a guru and sishya is too personal in Devi Upasana -- It is best to avoid asking for opinions from many , on an instruction of Guru. Guru alone can lead you to Devi consciousness and none other would be able to do that task. Pl have the fullest faith in the Guru and may be with his permission you may be a YAJAMAN in a chandi homa. (This may involve considerable financial and physical resources.) Pl keep contacting your guru frequently with all the means of communication. The ensuing sarada navarathri gives you an immediate golden opportunity to meditate on the navakshari mantra day and night.

Second I want to thank Ganapathyji for giving me information regarding Sahasra Chandi Japa held in Kanchi and motivating me for going there and seeking for Guru. I did same I with grace of DEVI and blessings of Jagadguru and all helping devotees like you I got initiation to Navaksari Mantra. As I told with my earlier mails that I want to Chandi Homa and when I asked for doing homa My Guru(who initiated me) has refused to tell me any other way of doing puja and not permitted me doing Homa saying that only Brahmins can perform homa you can not as you are not Brahmin. I just want to have opinion of any learned member specially Ganapathyji regarding this as I have not read in any Tantrik scripture that only a Brahmin can perform homa. Please clarify. regards arvind -- pradiipajvaalaabhirdivasakaraniiraajanavidhiH sudhaasuuteshcandropalajalalavairarghyaracanaa . svakiiyairambhobhiH salilanidhisauhityakaraNaM tvadiiyaabhirvaagbhistava janani vaacaaM stutiriyam.h www : http://www.ambaa.org/ Contact: help Ganapathy --- Vijaya " Jai Bhavani " - - - - " Jai Sri Lalitha Maha Maha Tripura Sundari " " Sarvam Shakti Mayam Jagath " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
