Guest guest Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Dear Members, After that posting on Idol size. Iam being inundated with emails regarding yantras,idols and other articles. It amazes me how much these days modern men/women are behind spiritual articles. There is nothing wrong in having a few articles like rudrakshas,shaligramas,yantras and idols as long as one knows how to maintain it in a spiritual way. First let me tell all those 21 people who have emailed me that this single posting will serve to answer all questions. Please also peruse my older postings for more information. Almost all have asked questions relating to yantras and it's potency. The shabda brahmam after taking a form came into the rupa form by the way of spanda and ganita. Now spanda is being tapped as yantric energy. Till now noone knows in kaliyuga how to tap ganita. It is said one who sincerely does the srichakra puja UNDER A GURU will be shown the ganita by Sree Rajarajeshwari amma herself. These days when I even hear the name RAJARAJESHWARI I go into raptures and get emotional. Be it a hoarding on the street or even a tea stall( I even once paid the tea stall guy few more rupees because he kept that name and gave him a manual of the nanganallur temple and asked him to visit it.He is now a regular visitor to the temple) When this is the case with 'shabda' that it can send one into raptures and captures one's heart then the power of spanda is even more. This was being told by my gurunatha when I was alone. Iam just sharing a few snippets of information which can be found in no book. Spanda is even more effective because the causal body seeks a karmic solution and way. And yantras are easy to guide in a visualisation. I have studied the formation of words(I was especially interested in etymylogical roots of almost all the languages I know because that holds a key to understanding it with clarity). The word yantra means that which protects the 'yam' Yam means the essence or the saaramsa of an object or concept. The srividya concept is that the bindu is the first prakritic manifestaion and the petals then unfold. This is in perfect consonace with the taoistic canon which says that the 'ten thousand' unfolded from the single Tao. Now many chinese scholars without knowing that the roots(some do not believe) of taoism lie in the great siddha Bhoganatha of Palani,Tamilnadu who went as Bo-Yang and gave that srividyic concept to the chinese(which was then known as mahachinam) : interpret the meaning of 'ten thousand' to mean the infinite. But in reality it means the ten thousand siddhis,riddhis and shakthis which arise from the singular vindhu.(The original sanskrit word is vindhu and not bindu as modern sanskrit scholars put it). So, a yantra protects this saaramsa. Yantra is the mantra-shareera of the devi or devata and the mantra is the yantra-shabda of the devi or devata. Both are ultimately the two sides of the same coin. Without revealing any further for the lack of permission from my gurunatha. I stop my speeding fingers and say that form is to be respected or in other words the yantra symbolism is to be respected. Will you treat any guest who comes to your house by not offering even water if he is thirsty? Yantra needs such " water " from you and in return it will make a connection to the deity or force you are invoking and thereby quench your " thirst " (spiritual thirst in the form of trishna) Happy quenching! Yours yogically, Shreeram Balijepalli OM YANTRA RAJAYA VIDMAHE MAHAYANTRAYA DHEEMAHI TANNO YANTRA PRACHODAYATH. PS: One member has appreciated my earlier posting on yantra were I said our body is the greatest yantra etc. And said it was quite poetic. Well, I was not exactly being poetic when I said that because there are advanced practices of srividya which actually consider that fact that body is the greatest yantra and has some gupta practices. I keep mum here lest I become a pathitha on account of revealing to the uninitiated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Dear Datta Yogirajji, Thankyou for your kind words on my postings. Please bless me sire as Iam very young and need guidance of elders like you in my path.But rightfully all the credit goes to my gurunatha for all the information and Iam a mere parrot in his hands. Glory be to Rajagopala Gurudeva! Iam fine I spent some time with nature(Ooty,coonoor and Kodaikanal) with my ardhangini and went to many nearby spiritual places so I could not come online for sometime. Iam also planning to visit some spiritual places in India in the near future. My heart yearns for a giripradakshina(girivalam) in Thiruvannamalai and that too with my wife. I also plan to visit Sreesailam,Chottanikara,guruvaayur,Tirupathy,edu (6 places of importance for muruga),Simhachalam(which holds dear memories to me as it was the place of my father guruvugaaru swaprakshananda in his last days),Navagraha kshetras,Rameshwaram,Kasi,Rishikesh and Haridwar. The moment I came from Canada however I went and prostrated at the divine feet of my gurunatha Sree Rajagopala swami with my wife and he initiated my wife into this path too. Of course Ammani I go almost twice a week. If anyone asks me whether you have seen Rajarajeshwari devi temple it is like asking did you see your mother when staying in one's parent's house. Me in Madras and not seeing Her Majesty's temple??...Impossible. I also plan to visit Lakshadweep with my wife after all this spiritual trips are over to spend some personal moments. I also heard there is a Temple of prominence oin Kaveretti(Lakshadweep). I will visit there too. So much to do, So little done!

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Dear Rajuannaji, You had asked in the posting 'Do you remember me?' How can I not remember you?(You are the greatest srividya upasaka in USA) and you take umbrage in humility and your gurunatha Ganapathy satchidananda swami despite having a fund of information. I especially enjoyed singing songs from Thirumantiram to you over phone and hearing your songs on Devi. I can never forget those and other divine moments spent with you over phone. I normally keep a very low profile and talk with very few people whom I know online but when Ashoka ma of pour group said that you are Rajarajeshwari devi Herself in human form I could not resist talking with you over phone and I dont regret that. Please share your divine knowledge with other group members and bless us all with your Abhaya hastha...the hastha which has done srividya and mahameru puja for more than 55 years(I incodentally have good memory and remember you saying you started with this worship when you were 5 years old and calucated the years). Before people like you Iam a small fry sire. I stand tall on the shoulders of gaints like you. Thankyou for gracing this group like other elders in srividya in our group.
