Guest guest Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Dear Sri. Ganapathy, Namaste and thanks for the detailed message. Request for a few more clarifications: 1. Are there any strict rules relating to worshipping each of the Durga forms? I am not referring to Upasana as initiated by a Guru. I refer to general worship through a form. I vaguely remember reading somewhere that prayer to Shulini Durga is prescribed for Rahu afflictions/Dasa/Transit, Asuri Durga to control and channelize one's energies, Vana Durga to fulfill one's noble ambitions such as literary works etc. 2. If there are multiple mula mantras for a deity/form, can any one be used? For example, I came across at least 5 to 10 different mantras for Lakshmi. 3. This query is not directly related to Ambaal but Ganapaty. I am writing this because I presume many of the members would be aware of this. I would really appreciate any information/links/material relating to Raja/Vara/Siddhi/Herambha Ganapati forms - such as Gayatri/Mula mantras/stutis etc. Thanks & Regards, Murali , ganapathy = = vijaya <srividya101> wrote: > Pranams > > Durga the Great Mother literally means the " one difficult to Access". > therefore devotees approaching her follow the difficult means of realisation -- transformation of individual attachment into the universal Oneness -- > after which she confers Victory on them. > > As per shree Kamal the famous Tantric author of Kashmir She has " 64 diverse forms".
