Chandi Path/ Sri Lalita Saharanama Stotram

[Guest guest]

Namaste Group:

 

I am curious about why some Shaktas emphasize the Sri Lalita Saharanama Stotram

and why other emphasize the Chandi Path. Sri Vidya seems to emphasize the Sri

Lalita and others focus on Sri Durga or Maha Kali. Does anyone know the reason?

 

I realize that those who focus on Chandi Path are more in line with Tantra, but

at the same time I thought Sri Vidya was also a type of tantra.

 

I am also curious about everyone's experiences with Chandi Path and with Sri

Lalita Sahasranama Stotram.

 

Thank you,

Shankari

Take a look at the Shaktism wikipedia article,

in particular the sections on Srikula and Kalikula.

Does that answer your question?

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaktism

 

Or are you referring to the Chandi Path-centric

practice of Swami Satyananda and Shree Maa of Napa?

I'm not sure " more in line with " is a valid

generalization.

 

See the quotes below (alo from the

wikipedia article) on Srividya and Tantra:

 

The Srikula's best-known school is Srividya,

" one of Shakta Tantrism's most influential

and theologically sophisticated movements. [....]

The Srividya paramparas can be further broadly

subdivided into two streams, the Kaula

(a vamamarga practice) and the Samaya (

a dakshinamarga practice). [....]

Many Samaya practitioners [...] explicitly

deny being either Shakta or Tantric;

however, [Douglas Renfrew] Brooks argues

that their cult remains technically both,

" even if Samayins would reject this appellation. "

Thank you for posting those articles. The Srikula group is mostly in the South

where you have southern saints like Sri Karunamayi, and Ammachi who emphasize

Sri Lalita Tripura Sundari, and Shree Maa who is from up North is more Kalikula

that is why the emphasis is on Kali/Durga.

 

I understand now. Yes. I was asking about why Shree Maa was Chandi Path-centric.

 

Thanks,

Shankari

many of these SriVidayas effects are to be known/felt in a Guru Shisya

paramapara and in person

Many cannot expressed in a forum of open discussion .

It was like this for thousand years and it has its meaning and purpose

some can be discussed as every one by virtue of humans and destined and joined

this sath sanhga /group gets this benifit and also shared

Many are persived and enjoyed the bliss in this sakthi and SriVidya parampara

and cannot be even expressed if some wants to do it

Great SriVidaya and the highest order of Vidaya for ever in this sristi
