Guest guest Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 namasthe, Some more info on the same. Please go through and forward to your friends and relatives who are interested in Shakthi Sadhana. namasthe Prasad <devipuram Wrote: Devipuram is a rare temple of learning. Body is the temple made by God. Attention offered to its limbs begets powers. Some icons are the raw powers of the Goddess. Prayers offered to their nudity give powers of attracting good and beautiful, repelling cruelty and evil, ability to manifest your desires etc. Some of you may have tried to know about sadhana earlier, but may have been prevented by vague fears. It is not at all difficult or dangerous if you follow satvic Datta tradition. We have opened the doors to easy methods of sadhana to all sincere seekers whatever their caste. You can learn the closely guarded secrets of Sri Vidya here on weekends: Saturday morning to Sunday evening. Tuition is free. Lodge and board costs are nominal. You have to serve the Goddess and temple. Register now for classes.

It is recommended that participants offer selfless dedicated service at the Sri Chakra temple at Devipuram (30km from town center) as a matter of purification. . Visakhapatnam can be reached by air from Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai or Kolkata. Inform me by email once travel arrangements are finalised. It is on the east coast of India half way between Kolkata and Chennai. You can also take a train from Kolkata, Chennai or Hyderabad. Get down at Visakhapatnam station. Tell the auto/cab driver to take you to Turner Choultry. You will see Super bazaar. There is a 30 ft road perpendicular to main road right opposite the main gate of Superbazaar. Look around. You will see Visalandhra book depot at the entrance to this side road. It is the 3rd house on right, a 5 storied apartment complex called Lakshmi Rseidency. Rooms are airy, and everything is available once you come down. You get down at Anakapalle if you wish to come to Devipuram directly. Tell the auto/cab driver to take you to Devipuram. You are in safe hands, don't worry. It is half hour journey. Distance is 13 km. The final portion is a 1 km stretch through what looks like a jungle. There is limited accommodation there for a few people to stay in rather primitive conditions; hopefully the picture will change in a few months. Visakhapatnam has a lovely beach of 20 miles strech where people can go for swim, or just watch. It is 20 minutes walking distance. People are warm and friendly. The courses will be conducted in Guruji's home at Vizag town center. Address : Lakshmi Residency, Opposite Superbazaar, Next to Turners Choultry, Bhadravati Marg, Visakhapatnam 530002.

Ph 08924 48238 Visit www.devipuram.info www.vi1.org Nov 2003 The concept of Shakti Sadhana- Or you are born to be free. The real temples made by God are our own bodies. They all house God's Creative Matrix called Lalita. The name Lalita means Life, which plays in all states of our being: waking, dreaming, sleeping and beyond birth and death too in the form of life of cosmos. Each of us has organs of perception and action through which God/dess knows about the cosmos and acts on it to change it. Lalita manifests space and time; and powers of life in each limb. Her power to speak is called Saraswati, to nourish is called Sri-Bhu Devi, to destroy dark forces of disarray and create life is called Durga. As Durga she vanquishes demonic lust called Mahishasura, and converts it to playful love. Without life, every limb is powerless. The power comes by blood coursing through the limbs, and awareness carried to them by currents called nadis. To do anything, we have to make the individual powers in the limbs come alive to manifest their full potential, beyond physical limits. Therefore all limbs are called Shakti Peethas, seats of power. Focusing attention on a limb while holding breath lends power to it. All practitioners of martial arts know this. Can we awaken the power in a limb if it is not known, seen or felt? It is asleep, dead. Powers have to be exposed and kneaded to awaken them; that is, they have to be necessarily nude. Understand that your body is itself the great Sri Chakra. The Devis in it are all the powers of your own life waiting to be discovered and uncovered by you or with the help of others. Worship the Sri Chakra as your body: physical, mental, and beyond the limits of body and mind. You can't go wrong. Right now, we are mostly living like beasts of burden. Our main concerns are food, sleep, fear and sex. You have to rise above that, to the human levels of self-awareness first. Then, you have to extend your abilities and concerns to know and feel for others. That is what really makes you great, managing your destiny instead of being tossed in its rivers. That is the road map for you: beast to human, human to God. You must assert your divine nature. You are the Goddess Life who has now journeyed to the most sacred Chakra, your own body. Assert that you are the Goddess. But are you aware of the implications of this assertion? You have to feel this truth, not just repeat what someone has told you. How can you convince yourself? Here is one way. Receive Deeksha through a ritual by the Guru here. What is Deeksha? First the Guru invokes the entire cosmos and its powers into you. The Powers of Fire, Sun, Moon; of creation, nourishment and destruction; of hiding and revelation. You are given the secrets of liberation and immortality. Then you receive puja by the Guru. That is right. To become a Goddess, the Guru must worship you. He will give you a bath. Anoint your body with sandal paste. Decorate you with garlands of letters and flowers. You receive puja just like the Goddesses here. Now you can truly say, I am the Goddess because the Guru has adored me. But you are not the only Goddess. All are indeed Goddesses, whether they realize it or not. Is there any point in assuming a haughty attitude? The importance of Chakra Puja comes from this fact. Every one is a God-Goddess here. There is no high-low, up-down, right-left, front-back differences here. No distinctions based on caste, religion, color or race can enter here. All males are Siva, all females indeed Shakti. The Sri Chakra makes every one God-Power. It integrates unity with diversity, one with many in a unique way. It realizes the supreme value of fun as the why of life. So there is no ritual higher or better than Chakra Puja. It is in all religions. Buddhists call it Kala Chakra. Christians call it Gaia. Hindus and Jains call it Ras-leela or Bhairavi Chakra. Sufi Muslims call it the whirling dance. No difference. It is the supreme circle, which has no beginning, no end; it is limited but also goes on and on forever. It is the ritual where every one overcomes their ego-centric limits, become God-Goddess like and dance freely in love creating islands of jewels in the oceans and skies. Come to Devipuram. It is the Valley chosen by Devi to reveal Her Chakras. It is beautiful, wise and powerful. Learn the Circle rituals. Free yourself from self made bondage and free others to achieve beauty, wisdom and power like you.
