Request information on Nava Durga/Ganapathy

[Guest guest]

Namaskar.

 

 

 

I am indeed not qualified or having the expertise that you would expect of me.

Anyway to discuss what negligible I know, I have put my thoughts on your

queries. These are my personal thoughts and I have no authority to guide or

direct anybody.

 

 

 

The worship of specific Durga Forms like Vana Durga, shulini Durga etc should

not be attempted to without any initiation as these forms are of Ugraha with

very specific powers and while the Sadhak would get what he wants, this would

not be without any Test and Tribulations, as one tries to get some benefits

against the Law of Karma.

 

 

 

In one of the TV interviews the fire brand Sandal Wood smuggler claims that he

is a “ Vana Durga upasak “ and because of her grace, he knew every inch of the

forest which he Occupies which is about 1000 square KMs. She would take you

away, from the specific problem if one focuses on Her with special upasana but

that is not without a Trial of compensatory problem if one tries to exhaust the

problem with zero effect

 

 

 

I know personally that many attempts to put a roof to a Vana Durga temple at

Alleppy Mullakkal Bhagawathi brought the roof to the floor number of times.

Patteshwaram Shulini Durga near Kumbakonam is full of Shakthi and Her Dharshan

would be very beneficial for any karmic problem. Also Vedaranyam Vana Durgaji.

Incidentally there is no roof for Shulini at Pattesewaram. She receives abundant

rain and sunshine without a roof.

 

 

 

In my 1 Baiza opinion if one goes to such a temple, have Dharshan and do the

Archana for a particular worldly problem that would make the mind stronger to

accept the problem in the spirit of Law of Karma than to get away from the

problem. The best way to pray Durgaji is meditating her form as Ashta Dasha Buja

Durga by reciting the eleventh and fourth chapter of Devi Mahatmeym. ( which

requires no initiation.)

 

 

 

Multiple Mantras :

 

 

 

For the same deity there could be and are multiple mantras and one is expected

to chant on what one is initiated by the Guru. By chanting the mantras the deity

comes to you initially occasionally and as one gets into Her wave length by

intense upasana you will be with that deity all the times and this stage is

called – tanmayatha or togetherness. Eventually your own individuality becomes

completely dissolved and you and your deity become one consciousness and that

stage is tadrupatha. Every cell in your body becomes a resonator for your

mantra, every pore becomes a mouth with which you speak of Devi’s name and

thereby your ignorance is removed.

 

 

 

It is the Guru’s job to initiate you to a mantra and the proper form for which

you have the affinity. Say if you are of a tender nature some terrifying forms

like Tara would scare you to death. If one is prone to greed and one take to

mantra of Lakshmi you may simply get wealth and in the process only enhance your

greed. Of what use are these Mantras in your progress of never ending Births and

deaths. Nowadays it has become a fashion to demand a mantra from a guru.

 

 

 

I see lot of posts on concentration, meditation etc . In my one baiza opinion,

Mind by its own nature is ever jumping like a monkey from one subject to the

other and the one who is into the “ Manthra Sadhana” should not be bothered or

try to control it artificially. This Yoga is not a Hata Yoga. What is

important is Bhakthi and Unshakable faith on Devi. She would Take care of you –

leave the problem of meditation to Devi. The words of Mahaswamy on this subject

may be referred to for further guidance.

 

 

 

Ganapathyam :

 

 

 

For the Ganapathy Upasana the best book I have come across is by Pujya Shree

S.V. Radhakrishna Sasrtygal -- . who has published three volumes covering the

entire gamut of this upasana Marga on directions from Maha Periayavaal.. The

book is titled as Shree Vigneshwara Sthuthi Manjari and each volume has more

than 600 pages. Published by Sri Vigna Venkateshwara Trust 283, TTK Salai

Chennai 600-018. pl refer to this. I am using this book for a very limited

purpose. Costs Rs 200 for each volume.

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

Dear respectable ambaal devotees,

 

I had heard about Bhavani maa, but really have not

remember seeing her idol or where her temple is. Heard

about Madhura Kaali (who is also called madhura

bhavani).

 

Some information on this would be really nice.

 

Mangala
