Guest guest Posted January 12, 2002 Report Share Posted January 12, 2002 sree mathre namah respected sundereshan, sri vidya ratnakara is very much in print by Chowkhamba Sankrit Series Publishing house, Varanasi, (address: Chowkhamba sanskrit series publishing house, k99, gopal mandir lane, varanasi-1) but i am having sanskrit edition. the upanga devatas of Maha Tripurasundari, which are Mantrini and Dandini actually are also known as Rajamatangi and Varahi and this particular book contains their Avaranarchana and also the nitya homa paddhati. for a serious seeker of Varahi and her worship and her different forms, one should not miss Tantra Raja Tantra where Varahi has been dealt at length ( i did the Telugu translation ofcourse which would not be of any use to you i believe, yanaku avalo jasti tamil varaadu tamil la translate pandrathakku) there is also a commentary of Sir Arthur Avalon of this book try to get it. iam sure if you are seriously looking for Varahi's worship, this would help. always at the guru's feet samvidanandasaktha saravana kumar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2002 Report Share Posted January 12, 2002 Dear Samvidanandashaktha: Have you read Nithyotsava of Umananda Natha? That is more pure tantra than Sri Vidya Rathnakara Bhasurananda Natha. - saravana kumar Saturday, January 12, 2002 12:06 PM reply sree mathre namahrespected sundereshan,sri vidya ratnakara is very much in print by Chowkhamba Sankrit Series Publishing house, Varanasi,(address: Chowkhamba sanskrit series publishing house, k99, gopal mandir lane, varanasi-1) but i am having sanskrit edition. the upanga devatas of Maha Tripurasundari, which are Mantrini and Dandini actually are also known as Rajamatangi and Varahi and this particular book contains their Avaranarchana and also the nitya homa paddhati. for a serious seeker of Varahi and her worship and her different forms, one should not miss Tantra Raja Tantra where Varahi has been dealt at length ( i did the Telugu translation ofcourse which would not be of any use to you i believe, yanaku avalo jasti tamil varaadu tamil la translate pandrathakku)there is also a commentary of Sir Arthur Avalon of this booktry to get it. iam sure if you are seriously looking for Varahi's worship, this would help. always at the guru's feetsamvidanandasakthasaravana kumar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2002 Report Share Posted January 15, 2002 sree mathre namah, respected sir, i have read both and i feel there is nothing like pure and impure in them. Punyananda natha belong to the hayagriva sampradaya and hariharananda natha belong to the dakshinamurthy sampradaya in the mode of worship. so one may find some differences in the way the rituals are laid. in nityotsava only the navavaranarchana of Maha tripurasundari is only dealt whereas in the other book, the worship of mantrini, dandini and maha ganapathi is also given and the most important thing is that the sri vidya mantra bhashya given in sri vidya ratnakara, is noticeable. such a commentary on the famous sri vidya mantra is not available easily. another diversity among both the authors, ultimately their styles being reflected in their books are that punyananda natha belong to south india and hariharananda natha belong to varanasi and there are some variations in worship eventhough the modus operandi of worship is same in principle. how ever this is my feeling. always at the feet of the guru, samvidananda saktha saravana kumar.
