When any one approaches his guru for the first time, his intention would be in pursuit of the supreme god and mOkSha. The guru who is " swrUpa nirUpaNa hEtuh " is initiating with a mantra of some dEvata or dEva. This is because one should not/can not say any thing about god in an establishing voice. " kaula pratiShTam na kuryAt " Even in the books like " soundarya lahari " , the way to emancipation was nerrated with slOkas like " muKam bindum kritwa " , " naram varSIyamsam " . They appear like mAdana prayOgAs to attract women. Is it the advice of SankarAcarya who himself is a staunch sanyAsi, for a Sishya who approaches him to show him the way for liberation? Instead of trying to understand the inner objective of the guru, he is opting to master the texts, and bring out the materialistic benefits.like a mad man gathering all the useless stuff seen on the roadside, thinking it so precious. My guru was telling " what ever is written in the scripture, even by any great sage, it would be only vAmAcara mehod. It is you to search for the meaning which reminds you about your own 'swarUpa'. All the mantras are the reminders of your own swrUpa. If you take materialistic meaning, even the nArAyaNa mantra or the siva mantra will never save you from the present state of misery, but throws you in to the ditch of samsAra, " SR^iNyEva sitayA viswa carShaNih pASEna pratibadhnAtyabhIkAn | iShuBhih pancaBhir dhanShEna| viddhatyAdiSaktir aruNAca viswajanyA || " I dont understand how can any other god can give any one the 'mOkSha', when there is Siva and nArayaNa who are considered to be the sole distributors of mOkSha? " sahasram vartantE jagati vibudhAh kSudra phaladah na manyE swpnE vA tadanusaraNam tatkR^ita Palam || " Please don't believe any of these gods. They will always be saying nonsensical promises. Trash every thing. -- L.Krishnarao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 uchista ganapathi upasana is a very advanced stage of upasana that needs very rigid anushtanas of niyamas.not everyone can take up this sadhana. a guru will only iniciate this to a sadhaka who has completed purascharana of sri vidya mantras and who is free from material desires ( really pure ) and longs for liberation.the sadhaka must not have even the slightest kalmasha in himself. the ultimate goal of uchista ganapathi is the renouncement of material desires (even siddhis) and attainment of brahma sayujya. the form of uchista ganapathi is often misinterpreted .it is the manifestation of the highest yogic order and only to be known under the guidance of a guru. do not do this sadhana without a guru's guidance as it will bring negative effects. when u meddle with a powerful energy u need to have a preceptor who could guide and teach the appropriate way to handle it. even when u do mistakes unknowingly the guru's shakti will shield the sadhaka from the side effects. dont do sadhana for the sake of siddhi.this is a great obstacle in sadhana . subrabalaji <subrabalaji wrote: Dear Members - where can I find the Puja and Upasana procedures for Ucchista Ganapati. I heard from some Sri Vidya Upasakas that the worship of Ucchista Ganapati is an important aspect. Also I have heard from some that it is the only way to Moksha. Also I heard that one gets rare Siddhis with such Upasana and also one has to strictly adhere to procedures.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 For whatever reason, in the South, there is a tendency to give a vedAnta color(even when there is absolutely no relation) and give a mystic touch(Madame Blavatsky's/Theosophical Society's influence?) so to speak. This compulsion to come up with vedAntic interpretations for everything may be partially because of Christian/British influence as Shri Gopal Gopinath noted. A parallel outcome of this influence is subtle aversion to anything tAntric, even though a great part(including some if not all vAmAchAra rituals) of tAntric rituals/procedures were derived from veda-s. , thavaraja thavaraja <priyanandha403 wrote: > uchista ganapathi upasana is a very advanced stage of upasana that <SNIP>a guru will only iniciate this to a sadhaka who has completed >purascharana of sri vidya mantras and who is free from material >desires ( really pure ) and longs for liberation. The u. gaNesha worship originally has its origins with gANapatya-s. Please see the following note by a acquaintance of mine. Notes in bracket are mine. --- " The next great Acharya of the sect(gANapatya sect) was herambasuta, who founded the heterodox vAmAchara cult of gaNapati worship. They worship the form of gaNapati termed ucchiShTa gaNapati. He is mediated in a form, which may be viewed by many uninitiated modern Hindus and others as being very obscene. " -- Apparently these are not shrIvidya upAsaka-s but worship u.gaNesha. So where does the shrIvidya requirement come from? Please also observe the following post closely(**especially the last paragraph**) /message/9664 > the ultimate goal of uchista ganapathi is the renouncement of >material desires (even siddhis) and attainment of brahma sayujya. > subrabalaji <subrabalaji wrote: >I heard from some Sri Vidya Upasakas that the > worship of Ucchista Ganapati is an important aspect. Also I have >heard > from some that it is the only way to Moksha. If mokSha is what the sAdhaka desires there is no need to go this far and he has better things to do. Ex: Studying the shankara bhAShya-s and doing some serious AtmavichAra. Hence above statements are inaccurate IMHO. One doesn't need to specifically worship u.gaNesha to achieve mokSha. > dont do sadhana for the sake of siddhi.this is a great obstacle in >sadhana . Cannot agree more on this. If one does purashcharaNa of mahAmantra-s with the intent enjoying the benefit of siddhi-s, it doesn't lead anywhere. > subrabalaji <subrabalaji wrote: > Dear Members - where can I find the Puja and Upasana >procedures for > Ucchista Ganapati. The u. gaNesha pa~nchAnga is published by Khemraj Srikrishnadas of Mumbai. www.khe-shri.com Rgds sa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
