Three Lingas of Subtle Body (Body parts and houses)/Shri Vishnu

[Guest guest]

Dear Sri. Pradeep,

Namaste,

Kula

as i understand is the one that is manifested - having a form(similar

to a fruit,called as Kula in local parlance).This can also be

understood as a clan.Thus Shakthi is the manifestation of the unique

conscuiousness called shiva.Shiva is the basis,while shakthi is the

manifestation.''Like ink and writing''.When

we write a word or draw, ink is within the clutches of the meaning or

form conveyed.But when we rise above, we can understand that,the same

ink is the basis for every word or drawing.Thus

bindu is this realization.The unique or non dual realization.This is

Shiva.In other words there is no distinction between devi and deva in

this Bindu.Ardhanareeshawara is conveying this.Prakrithi and Purusha is

the macro form of Man and Woman.But we should not forget that,Prakriti

is the manifested form of Purusha. They are infact one and the same. 1)Assigning

Murthi roopa,chanting mantras and seeing devi and deva as seperate is the first

stage -Sthoola Upasana.

2)Awareness,desire

and thereby further efforts to unite kula kundalini(shakthi) with its

non dual form is the second stage –Sookshma Upasana.3)Worshiping ourselves as

if we were HIM -is the advanced stage - Para Upasana.Thus

Kula is the one having a manifestation/form or the one having a

relation(clan).Traversing back through the Kula path results in Akula -

the one that is notKula.Thus we are free of all bondages/relations and

manifestations.We are HE himself.Well, with the kind of philosophy you have

expressed, I can totally

understand your difficulty in accepting "Kula at the top" when

confronted with pramana!

This

is my understanding.As per this understanding Akula should be at the

Top.In saundarya lahiri Shankara speaks of traversing the Kulapath.I

personally feel ,one does this Tapasya to attain union with the

formless consciousness and not vice-versa.

vice-verse? Please read below.

Please explain your understanding of Kula and Akula.(Akula is referred in

paramanas – for eg.Lalita Sahasranama).

Please read Lalita Upakhyana, Devi Bhagavatam.

Kula doesn't ONLY mean clan/family/sakti there are several meanings and one of

the meanings that I use is "adobe".

Akula doesn't ONLY mean siva a more meaningful word is "low" or better put

"lower consciousness".

Kulapath as you paint is neither "Sakti rising to meet Siva" nor "Siva

rising to meet Sakti"(you trying to infer from mine)! Consciousness has

no sex! Kundalini is "THE SELF/CONSCIOUSNESS" rising. Akula here means

"low/confused/agitated/disconnected" consciousness rising to reach its

adobe(Kula). The path kundalini traverses through the 5 chakras/tatwas

shows the rising of consciouness above "pancha bhuta tatwa" and at Agna

it is yet to overcome "manas tatwa" which is "duality". Only when

kundalini breaches Agna can one truly rise above duality and reach

adobe(Kula).

Pramanas have defined location of Mooladhara as between Linga and

Guda.Mooladhara is the root or the base by meaning.It is also the last among

evolution of Mahabhutas(panchabhuta).

The said gross organs are falling in Vrischika, bordering Dhanu.Thus possibility

for Mooladharam to be in Moolam has more pramana based logic to support as

compared to Libra.

"has more pramana based logic" according to YOUR LOGIC.

The only point remaining is - whether mooladhara is couple of angulas above the

perenium plane(as per your argument).

But then you have to define the beginning of thighs or dhanu.Some translators

even say Dhanu includes hip joints.i can wait.

I have a pramana which says thighs are in Kumbha!

warm regards,

Vishnu
