It uses a Panchadashi and Shodashi different from the one used by the Kaadi mata which is common in South India. Haadimata is the dominant school in Kashmir, Himachal and Rajasthan. My own people belong to the Haadi mata, so Haadimata is not extinct (unless you meant something else). From what I understand from a friend is that Haadi mata also existed in South India but has either become extinct or is very rare in the South. I am told that the great South Indian exponents were mainly Kaadi mata and hence its hold is much wider in the South. Some other practioners apparently learn Chandravidya and Manuvidya Panchadashi equivalents as a part of their education in Mantrashastra.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Dear Shreeramji, Om shrii lalithaa mahaatripurasundarii namah Once I went to Kerala, Alappuzha, Kandiyoor. There lived the famous Srividya Upasaka Kandiyoor Mahadeva Sastrikal, he had got Mahaatripurasundari devidarshan in his Pooja room. Now his relatives living there, In his Pooja room I saw his Srichakra, a small gold one – like one rupee coin, the lines in this Srichakra are very clear! His Pooja Sahayak said to me that (Now he is a old man) whenever Sastrikal begins SriVidya Pooja then the atmosphere in his house surrounding was changed! ie, small winds blow and sweet smells flow everywhere in his house! Always this things happened, his house surroundings only. And he also remember that every Pournami days the he ( Pooja Sahayak ) brings Suddhha Coconut Kallu and Sastrikal dip the RedThetti flowers (In Malayalam- Kudda Tetti-flower) one by one in the coconut Kallu and then the flowers dedicated to the Devi and Srichakra one by one with mantras. But the important thing is before start the pooja he removes the nadies (nerves) of the Thetti flower, Shreeramji can you please tell me? (a) Why he removes the nadies (nerves) of the Red Thetti Flower before the flower dip in the Coconut Kallu ?

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 > LOPAMUDRACHARA SHOULD NOT BE CONFUSED WITH HAADIVIDYA SAMPRADAYA OF KASHMIR....I did not mean anything else what I meant was What I know to be true to the best of my knowledge. Shriram mahodaya, Thank you for this clarification. I now understand what you are refering. Indeed the Achara and sampradaya classification is different from the vidya classification, which is based on the different basic mUlamantras of Shrividya i.e the vidyas of manu, chandra, kubera, lopaamudra, kaama, agastya, agni, savitar, indra, karttikeya, rudra, brahman, vishnu, nandi and krodha atreya. The kaama form is kaadi etc, lopaamudra haadi etc. There are a 17 other less known vidyas which gets the count to 32, which is listed by most ancient shrividya manuals. Of course all of them differ in the actual syllables found in the Vaghbhava, Kamaraja and Shakti Kutas in addition to the starting syllable. Different vidyas may be found in a certain location of India at the same time is what I understand. One of the kaadi lineages is from Shrinivas Bhat of 12th century from Kashmiri who took it with him to the Dravida region. Similar a Haadi exponent Shri Punyanandanatha from Chera Desh is supposed to have reached Kashmir and founded a lineage. So the vidyas precede local acharas that solidified only after the lineages stopped migrating in the past few 100 years. One point though (not actually contradicting what you mention): As per tradition (for example Siddhayoginimata and Durvasasmata etc) Matsyendranatha and his wife Kumkumamba were in possession of all the 15/32 vidyas of Shrikula and their promulgators in the Kaliyuga. I noticed that you tamil Siddha list named Macchamuni- is considered the same as the Acharya Matsyendra of the Shrikula lineage? There also appears to be one called Tirumular. He was in all chance the Sundaranatha a Kashmirian Shrividya practioner. RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
