Guest guest Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 In the manasa puja section of the Khadgamala Stotram, the worshipper offers Devi inter alia "all nectarian qualities of the world," interpreted as "the Union of Seer and Seen," and then "the union of mind with Her in the form of the camphor flame." Can someone explain to me the difference between these two offerings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 The respective offerings correspond externally to the (increasingly subtle) esoteric elements, and internally to the (increasingly subtle) chakras. Thus each offering both symbolizes and enables a deeper and more subtle (and ultimately transcendent) stage of Union with the Supreme Divine. , "willendorfer" <willendorfer wrote: > > In the manasa puja section of the Khadgamala Stotram, the worshipper offers Devi inter alia > "all nectarian qualities of the world," interpreted as "the Union of Seer and Seen," and then > "the union of mind with Her in the form of the camphor flame."

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Regarding union of mind with her as the camphor flame, camphor burns out completely without leaving a trace -- I mean pure and good quality camphor. Similarly, we burn our ego completely by merging our mind with HER -- this comes with the grace of guru and Devi.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 in SV shaakta sampradaaya what is burnt is prathama and after the aarati it is poured in a line from left to right (North to south) and every sadhaka touches the flame and does thilaka. It is called Shaakta tilaka Radhakrishnan J <jayaarshree > wrote: Regarding union of mind with her as the camphor flame, camphor burns out completely without leaving a trace -- I mean pure and good quality camphor.
