Guest guest Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 In literal sense, it implies that one should not do the japa of Varahi at Daytime. There are certain aspects that are only to be learnt from diksha guru. In Srividya, there are certain japa kAlAs (time) for upasana. The parA upAsana krama and Lalitha Japa siddhi is achieved in brahma muhurta; syAmala japa siddhi in Midnoon (aparAhNakAla); vArAhi japa Siddhi is in mid of night. Just as the boar / varaha digs the earth very deeply and penetrates into it, similarly, the mantra anusandhana of vArAhi fecilitates the chitta of the upAsaka to dig deep into the " hridaya akasa " or " Heart Cave " in search of " AnahaTa dhwani " . The " anAhaTa dhwani anusandhAna " becomes easy during the mid of night ie., during 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. Varahi Devi makes the intellect of the upAsaka to penetrate deep into the Heart Cave and makes him listen to the Anahata Dhwani, by removing all the obstructions related to surrounding chakras which is symbolically represented as " duShTa nigrahA " by Shri Parashurama in his Kalpa Sutra. There are gUDhArthAs (esoteric meanings) for Maharatri here which only gurunatha should explain. The bAhya varivasya (external worship of Sriyantra) should be performed in Day and Antar Varivasya / Antaryaga (internal worship of Sriyantra) should be performed in Night as the amritra srAva (trickling of Nector from Sahasrara and tasting it through Yoga bandhana)is only possible during Night. A side note: Going by similar lines of niyamas, upasaka of mantrini should not insult the kadamba tree by breaking its branches / twigs; should not pass insulting remarks against classical singers and classical music. Upasaka of Lalitha should not bite the Sugarcane with his teeth " na ikShu khanDam bhakShayEt " with regs, sriram , " sathyaprcsekhar " <sathyaprcsekhar wrote: > > What is the significance of the Niyama " Na Diva Smaret Vaartaalim " ? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 One of the reference observed says Lalita prahne aparahne Shyama Vartali ratrou Brahme para Then It's Para or Gayatri (Sandhya Vandana) in Brahma kala Lalita at arunoudaya (when the sun is Red or Orange) , shyama after noon and Vartali at night. but its not mentioned as Midnight. along with mantra siddhi even the Lalita,Shyama and Vartali Navaratri's are Practiced by some Gurukulas with the above rules.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 When Divine energy is beyond time and distance, is it fair to limit its functioning to certain timings. It is only apasmara prayogas are done in a particular time and I do not think mantra upasana for the welfare of the Universe should be limited to a particular time. Regarding Varahi, hridaya is indicated because when one meditates on the trikuti his anger is aroused and the entire divine energy is wasted through actions in this regard. Whereas one meditating on the heart gets dissolved in reality, much easier to dissolve than extract.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Pranams. Bhagavan Parashurama in Varahi Krama says // tatrAyam kramo mahArAtrE budhvA svahridayaparamAkAShE dhvanantam anAhaTa dhvanimUrjitAnandadAyakam avamriShya // Shri Rameshwara commenting on the above sutra says that " mahArAtristribhAgAvaShiShTA ratrih " iti; mahArAtrih niShIthah; tasmin samayE bOdhOttarakAlInikriyAmahah - svahridayEti; sva hridaya rupO paramautkriShta akAsah tasmin dhvanantam shabdam kurvantam anAhatasya dvAdaShakamalasya dhvanim ....... ********* So, we understand as per the pramana of Kalpa Sutra that niShi kAla should be divided into 3 parts. So, roughly, the mahArAtri falls between 12:00 Night and 1:00 PM. During this time, the commentator advices us to listen to the " AnahaTa dhvani " in the Dvadasa Kamala (12 petalled lotus) of the Hridaya Padma. The varahi mantra makes the upasaka listen to this Anahata Dhvani in Hridaya Akasa when properly worshipped at Nishi kAla. regs, sriram , " diwakar_narumanchi " <diwakarvlg wrote: > > One of the reference observed says > Lalita prahne aparahne Shyama Vartali ratrou Brahme para > > Then It's Para or Gayatri (Sandhya Vandana) in Brahma kala > Lalita at arunoudaya (when the sun is Red or Orange) , shyama after noon and Vartali at night. but its not mentioned as Midnight. > along with mantra siddhi even the Lalita,Shyama and Vartali Navaratri's are Practiced by some Gurukulas with the above rules. > > Regards > Diwakar > > , " Venkata Sriram " <sriram_sapthasathi@> wrote: > > > > > > In Srividya, there are certain japa kAlAs (time) for upasana. > > The parA upAsana krama and Lalitha Japa siddhi is achieved in > > brahma muhurta; syAmala japa siddhi in Midnoon (aparAhNakAla); > > vArAhi japa Siddhi is in mid of night. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 These are not my words but the words of Bhagavan Parashurama. The devata sanchAra ghaDiyAs in the pindanda are governed by corresponding Marichis which are 360 in number. These Marichis inturn govern 6 chakras in the body during certain particular intervals of time in 24 hours. For further reference, seek the opinion of any samapradaya guru. I don't have the energy and patience of explaining these subtle principles of srividya to anybody now as i have lost interest in these discussions. , S Sangaranarayanan <sangarsai wrote: > > When Divine energy is beyond time and distance, is it fair to limit its functioning to certain timings.
