regarding pratyangira devi : consequences of actions

[Guest guest]

namaskarams,

 

We have had this segway into consequences, it will be nice to have a structured

analysis,

1. could some one provide some details on the consequences with scriptural

references?

2. What are the views of the Mathas and Acharyal's?

3. What are the guidelines under which such prayogas are justified?

4. What are the effects on society at large? if the effects are deleterious then

by not acting on it we are culpable.

 

The growth of temples for such deities and god heads and their popularity in the

past 25 years or so is phenomenal. My personal belief is that as a society we

are regressing spiritually and the current fabric resembles the one that Adi

Sankara was born into with the kapalikas and prayoga vadis; back to square one

essentially!

 

Materialism and the internet have given a new colorful flavor to it with

websites hawking all kinds of pariharams and temple archanas, mantras for a

dollar etc. Very enterprising

I fully agree with sriram!!!

 

 

 

Unfortunatly in this age people are very much interested in Ugra devatas and

as a result, suffer. They think results would be quicker. Maybe so!! But have

they thought about the consequences?

Dear sumanth,

 

 

 

Regarding your query of Pratyangira homa, HH Siddheshwarananda Bharati (Present

pontiff of Courtallam Peetam) has compiled the homa vidhana and upasana

paddhati. There is a beautiful pratyangira temple in courtallam.

 

 

 

But dear Sumanth, why do you go for this ugra devatha when there are other

soumya devatas like lalitha, gayatri etc. at our rescue.

I beg to disagree. Pratyangira is non-different from Lalitha. There

is no regressing in spirutuality by worshipping one form or another.

Both are our perceived forms of Amba. The question is would anyone

use a nuclear weapon to neutralize an ant. May not be the best

analogy but I think it conveys my thoughts.

 

It is very difficult to be in tune with the enormous energy produced

by Pratyangira Sadhana etc., which should be done under the close

supervision and permission of one's Guru rather than done with any

intention of a quick neutralization of obstacles or enemies in

trivial matters. Pratyangira Sadhanas used to be undertaken by Kings

and Rulers when Their kingdom faced obstacles or dangers in olden

days.

 

My two cents.

Dear Learned members,

I agree with Mr. balasubramaniam on this. To me godess pratyangira is the

loving mother who has always been there. I do not even understand the need to

fear her that people refer to in this forum. A small example would be like

electricity.... which when used properly can light up ur homes and when misused

can burn ur home too..

Dear Shrinivas and other Ambaa Devotees,

 

Sai Ram. Om Sri Matre Namah. You have the hit the nail on the spot,

" which when used properly can light up our homes and when misused can

burn our homes too "

 

What others sadhakas were also saying is that the proper use can only

be learnt from a qualified Guru. The same electricity can burn or can

light up coolly or heat our homes, cool our homes etc. Thus the proper

use is important. All Shaktis are derived from the same Divine Mother

who goes by various names including Lalitha, Kali, Pratyangira,

Bhuvaneswari etc.

 

A person responds to his / her given names and when we hear that name,

we are immediately reminded of some specific characteristics and

attributes. Similarly the Goddess, Who has no name and also all the

names has been given different names for different groupings of

attributes. Thus whom you invoke in dhyana and puja is important.

Sagunopasana is different from Nirgunoasana.

 

For those who can't do that sort of invokation and puja, just calling

Mother as Mother, Amma, Ma etc. is enough.

 

Just my two pence worth. Sai Ram. Sri Matre Namah.
