Guest guest Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Thanks Shri.Sri Ram and others Jabalpur Nagaraja Sarma in his articels about Sakthi Peethas mentions the one I mentioned in my last post.The Peetha being at the source of the Godavari,where Gautama's ashram existed and where to purify himself from Go Vadha he brought Ganga in the form of Godavari.But he does not give the name of Janasthan which I got after making a google search for Sakthi Peethas. Incidentaly when we went to Omkareshwar we could locate the Sakrhi Petha there but we could not go there as the constructionof a dam was gooing one. Has any one of the members visited the spot.

Guest guest Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Dear sir, As per Tantrachudamani, Janasthan (the corrupted form of Jala-sthAn) and the shakta pitha at near Godavari are different. Janasthan is the Bhadrakali at Nasik, Maharashtra and the Shakta pitha near Godavari is the Manikyamba of Dakshavatika or Daksharamam. Goddess Manikyamba is also called Viswamatrika. As i have already mentioned and keep mentioning that the *episode of daksha yajna* is highly esoteric in principle. The self-immolation of Sati and evolution of shakta pithas have deep significance in Srividya which is related to Bahir-matrika & antar-matrika nyasas. Hence, there is no *thumb rule* and also *concrete evidence* that only a *select* pithas that were listed out are the *only* shakta pithas. Moreover, there is lot of controversy and discrepency in the list of shakta pithas as per Devi Bhagavata, Matsyapurana, Tantrachudamani, Kalika Purana, Lupta Agama Sangraha etc. The Matsya Purana says that among all the shaktha pitas, the original shaktha pita is the CHIT SHAKTI (Brahma Kala) which sports in Dahara Akasa or Chidakasa. Rests of the forms of Devi are just the emanations of this Chit Kala. And hence, while listing out the 108 shakti pithas, the last is seen as " SARVASARIRINAAM CHITTE BRAHMAKALAANAAMNYAI SAKTHAYE NAMAH " LIST OF 108 SHAKTA PITHAS AS PER MATSYA PURANA Varanasyaam visalakshyai Namah Naimise lingadharinyai Prayaage lalithayai Gandhamadane kamukayai Manase kumudayai Vishveshware vishwayai Vishvakaayaam lakshmyai Icchayaam madanotkatayai Gomanthe govatyai Mandare kamacharinyai Chitrarathe madotkatayai Hastinapure jayantyai Kanyakubje gauryai Malayaparvate ramyayai Himavatsanuni nandayai Gokarne bhadrakarnikayai Sthanishware bhavanyai Bilvake bilvapatrikayai SRISAILE MADHAVYAI Bhadreshware bhadrayai Varahasaile jayayai Kamalalaye kambalayai Pushkare puruhutayai Kedare margadayinyai Chandrakotyaam rudranyai Kalanjaragirou kaalyai Mahalinge kapilayai Makute makutesvaryai Salagrame mahadevyai Sivalinge sivapriyayai Mayapuryaam kumaryai Lalithe santhathayai Utpalakshe sahasrakshyai Mahotpale hiranyakshyai Gayayaam mangalayai Purushottame vipulayai Vipaashaayaam amoghaakshyai Pundravardhane patalayai Suparsve narayanyai Trikute bhadrasundaryai Vipule vipulayai Malayachale kalyanyai Kotitirthe kotiyakshyai Magandhavane sugandhayai Kubjamrake trisandhyayai Gangadwaare ratipriyayai Sivakunde sunandayai Devikathate nandinyai Dwaravathyam rukminyai Brindavane radhayai Madhurayam devakyai Pataale parameshwaryai Chitrakute sitayai Vidhye vindhavasinyai Sahyadrou ekavirayai Harischandre chandrikayai Ramatirthe ramanayai Yamunaayaam mrigavatyai Karavire mahalakshmyai Vinayake umadevyai Vaidyanathe arogyayai Mahakaale maheshwaryai Suklatirthe abhayayai Vidhyakandhare smrityai Mandavye mandakyai Maheshwarepure swahaayai Chagalande prachandayai Amarakantake chandikayai Someshware varaarohayai Prabhase pushkaravatyai Samudratate saraswathyam devamatre Mahalaye mahabhagayai Payoshne pingalavatyai Kritashouche simhikayai Karthikeye yashaskartyai (sankaryai) Utpalavarthake lolayai Sindhusangame subhadrayai Siddhavane lakshmayi matre Bharataasrame anangayai Jalandhare vishwamukhyai Kishkindhaparvate tarayai Devadaruvane pushtyai Kashmiramandale medhayai Himadrou bhimadevyai Shashte vastreshwayai Kapalamochane shudhyai Kayavarohane maatre Shankhadware dhwanyai Pindarake dhrityai Chandrabhaagayaam kalaayai Acchode suladharinyai Vainayaam amrutayai Badaryaam urwashyai Uttarakurou oshadhyai Kushadwipe kushodakshyai Hemakute manmathayai Kumude satyavadinyai Ashwatthe (vrikshe) vandaniyayai Vaisravanalaye (kuberalaye) nidhaye Vedavadane (vedarambhe) gayatryai Sivasannidhou parvatyai Devaloke indranyai Brahmasarire saraswatyai Suryabimbe prabhayai Matrikasu vaishnavyai Satishu arundhatyai Raamaasu tilothamayai SARVASARIRINAAM CHITTE BRAHMAKALAANAAMNYAI SAKTHAYE NAMAH So, it is better to go by the belief & faith. with regards, sriram , " pibikay " <pibikay wrote: > > Thanks Shri.Sri Ram and others > Jabalpur Nagaraja Sarma in his articels about Sakthi Peethas mentions the one I mentioned in my last post.The Peetha being at the source of the Godavari,where Gautama's ashram existed and where to purify himself from Go Vadha he brought Ganga in the form of Godavari.But he does not give the name of Janasthan which I got after making a google search for Sakthi Peethas. > Incidentaly when we went to Omkareshwar we could locate the Sakrhi Petha there but we could not go there as the constructionof a dam was gooing one.
