Guest guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Dear friends, I had the good fortune to be initited into a Bala mantra and also to study many Sakta works.... It is easy to put the philosophy in English and to talk of 16 kalas and the 17th. To my mind whosoever may spoke of 17th kala, he was wrong and a victim of mind-work and so he extrapolated kalas to the 17th no. If his disciples says that he was a great Yogi - I may ask what is the identity of a great Yogi? Real Yogi has only one identity. Cobra will be an ornament to his neck. Can we find anyone like that now? Regarding Bhavani, is there anyone who has known her presence beyond the hallucinations of the so called meditation? How the mantramayi appears to a devotee? I am trying to know how the devotees look at subconscious mindwork which may give the feelings of known forms in imagination? What is the identity of true meditation? Does the mind stops? If yes, then what happens? All talks about Paramapara is nonsense. All Paramaparas have degenerated and people talk of parampara and secrets when they are confronted with the real issues. According to tradition, Bhagavati answers to the call of the Sakta. Is it true? How she answers the Saktas? Is there anyone who can arouse the Kundalini at his will? As I understand, if a man is able to arouse his Kundalini, he is capable of wearing Cobra as a garland on his neck. Is there anyone who can do it? chandra hari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Oh! I admit that your GREATER THAN Sri Jnaneshwar Maharaj, who was a shaktha belonging to Natha Tradition. You have been initiated into the Bala which is just a first step towards mother. So, what are the works you have studied could you please list me out. What is your background in Sanskrit language and how far you have studied the mantra shastra. In way you have rightly pointed out that nobody has understood bhavani. And who can dare to? Shiva himself drank a little drop of ocean of consciousness and got blew himself up and got out of control. , " chandra_hari18 " <chandra_hari18 wrote: > > > Dear friends, > > I had the good fortune to be initited into a Bala mantra and also to > study many Sakta works....

A marvellous Yogi indeed who had mastered all the 64 tantras in just a span of 5 years!!! Goddess Chintamani Saraswathi used to serve him like a maidservant. Do you know that? By just a single glance and a single touch he could arouse the kundalini of his disciples. If you want to learn more about him just type " Swaprakasananda Tirtha " in Google searchengine. You would understand his greatness. By the way, you said you were initiated in Bala mantra. It is a laghu srividya. You have still a long way to go. You are just at the threshold and not yet knocked the doors. And you were asking for yogis who have cobra around near neck is it? A great siddha purusha of Tiruvannamalai by name Sri Arunagiri Yogi who is still alive blesses his devotees. He is visible only to those who are worthy to receive his blessings. He sports with only loin cloth, ashes over his body and a cobra around his neck. My grandfather received his blessings.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Dear Sir, Thank you for the information on Swaprakasananda. But why do you speak of such meaningless things like grandfather received blessings? Does paternity has any role in Sakta tradition? How many fathers and mothers you may have in your long pilgrimage as a Sakta? Will you own them all if one day by some miracle they are before u? Just ask your mind what will you do? What then is the significance of grandfather? What is laghu and guru with a mantra and with bala-tripurasundari? Can't a Laghu mantra invoke Bala as Guru? Is it Laghu if Bala turns up as a Guru? chandra hari , " srinivasrao197080 " <srinivasrao197080 wrote: > > , " chandra_hari18 " > chandra_hari18@ wrote: > > > Dear hari, > > So, i think we have to run around and search for cobra hooded yogis!! > > You were asking for the gurus who by a single glance can arouse > kundalini.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Dear hari, My love to you. Let me be clear. My intension is not to hurt anyone in this forum. Neither do i have any grudge against anybody. These sentiments and emotions like " hurt " " grudge " " insult " are the shortfalls which everybody has to overcome. And all our spiritual practices are to overcome these negative thoughts and emotions. What is the use of doing high sounding mantras though our mind is glued to small and petty issues. Mental purity is most important. And let us strive to achieve that. Now, srividya is a tortous and thorny path that requires the grace of guru. Guruparampara is most important. Devi comes in the form of Guru and initiates you. In srichakra, one entire avarana is dedicated to the worship of guruparampara. It does not matter which parampara you follow whether dakshinachara or vamachara. But follow one path sincerely without questioning attitude. Have perfect faith in guru. Bhavanopanishad says " sriguru parama karaana butah sakthih " . Sri guru is sakthi himself. Now coming to bala tripurasundari, there is a srividya krama diksha that starts from Shuddha vidya to Mahapaduka. So, Bala mantra is just a second mantra from Shuddha vidya. There are still lot more to undergo as a part of initiation. So, my sincere advice is to respect the guru, guruparampara. Afterall, Mother Divine is the First Principle among the Guru Mandala. Please donot get hurt by my articles and i have the same love and respect for you as i have towards mother.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Dear Sir, I am not at all hurt in any manner. There is nothing to be hurt. I think the quest is beyond mind for sadhakas and so they must be immune to trivialities of mind. Regarding Bala, I was initiated into Bala mantra by a Tantrik who received the inspiration from Mukhambika, Kollur to do so. As I understand Bala is the common name of the three Ambikas west of Western Ghat, Mukhambika at Kollur, Hemambika at Palghat (Balaghat?) and Balambika at Kanyakumari. My effort was to provoke some questions in the group after I saw the site, after hearing about this from my friend Venu. People refuse to go before my mind as they are unable to 'sacrifice' and this is the pathentic situation haunting Sakta tradition. So I wanted to convey that the jargon and mind-working are meaningless. Regarding Bhavani, I had the good fortune to be led into a practice of Hadi and I have seen Bhavani through the miracle she has played. And I have also known how hard life is when She turns out to be Guru... Every sadhaka must know her and then only the conviction will develop to follow the path. No one spoke as to what happens when mind is stopped? This shows that we are deep into chittavrtti and have not tasted the deleting of mind. Many people therefore condemn Hathayoga as its real and deeper purpose is not known. With so much minds in activity, people latched up in mindsets can never pursue the path of Tantra - they will be scared to move ahead...

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Dear hari, You are talking of Cessation of Mind. Well, that is the aim of sadhana. Patanjali yoga sutra says " Yoga chittavritti nirodaha " . The yoga means control and cessation of mental tendencies. Now, there still subtler aspects than the Mind. Mind is just bunch of tendencies and thoughts. Subtler than Mind is Buddhi which is called Intellect (The deciding Factor). Subtler than the Intellect is Chitta which is Cognosis – the subconscious. Subtler than Chitta is Ahamkara which is called Ego. This Ego is not to be confused with Arrogance. It is called I-ness. It is with this I-ness you associate everything in this world. Now, this I-ness in the Individual is called Ahamtha Bhava. As you know, there are 5 sheaths that cover this body. They are Annamaya, Pranamaya, Manomaya, Vijnana Maya, Anandamaya Kosas. Our Mind sits at Manomay Kosa and the Aham or I-ness sits at Anandamaya Kosa. So, unless we are able to cross these 5 sheaths, the Ultimate Reality which is beyond these 5 sheaths is not known. This I-ness which I am speaking about in the Individual, when taken as a whole of humanity at Macrocosmic level ie., you integrate the Individual I-ness (Individual is Microcosm) to the Macrocosm (the I- ness of all the animate and inanimate things), this Macrocosmic I- ness is called Para-Ahamtha. In the deep sleep state, this Macrocosm is called Ishwara. And the Ego of this Ishwara (the Macrocosmic Ego called Para-Ahamtha) is called Chit. This Chit is called Chit Shakti. This is called the Will of Ishwara. This Aham Vritti of Ishwara is called Devi. So, the Tantra involves Realisation of This Aham of Ishwara which is Devi. When you realize this Aham of Ishwara, the Omnipresence, Omnipotence and Omniscience is achieved. This is called Sarvaatmana Bhava. Your individual Ego or Aham or I-ness would merge with Macrocosmic Ego or Aham of Ishwara. But that is not the end of Sadhana. This Ego should be merged in its source ie., Shiva – The Supreme Consciousness Absolute. So, the aim of Srividya is to take you to this State of Supreme Consciousness ie., the State of Shivahood where the Macrocosmic Ego in the form of Para-Ahamtha is dissolved. When this Ego is dissolved in this source, you are JUST YOU ARE in the state of CHOICELESS AWARENESS. In this state Mind is perfectly dissolved in its source like Sugar in Water. Sugar loses its identity and becomes Water. So also the individual loses his own identity and become one with Consciousness. The triputi or triad is shattered and collapsed. So, when the Mind is broken, who else remains, all the barriers are broken. Only you as Consciousness Absolute. This is the state which Sri Jiddu Krishnamurthy says as Ultimate Reality.

Silence too is a state, a space between two thought-The gap. Everything around has its own silence. The plants, the trees, the flowers and even the moon display different form of silence.
