Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Dear devotees of sri maata, Hope these words of mine would be useful for you in your antaryaga paddati. Devi Upasana in the form of Antaryaga is prohibited on Amavaasya, Uttarayana Punya Kala and Dakshinayana Punya Kala. The reason behind this is as follows: Samayacharis worship the devi at Sahasrara. The Chit Chandra Mandala at Sahasrara Chakra has 16 kalas like the Chandra mandala of brahmanda. The 16th kala of Chandra mandala is called Shodasi Kala / Saada Kala / Dhruva kala / Nitya Kala. With the help of the amrita or ambrosia of 15 kalas, the 16th Kala is worshipped. During the Antaryaga worship, samayacharis taste the nector of these 15 kalas of chit Chandra mandala. Given below are the Chandra kalas in Sukla Paksha and Krishna Paksha. Kala Sukla Paksha 2 Prathipath 3 Vidiya 4 Tritiya 5 Chaturthi 6 Panchami 7 Sashti 8 Sapthami 9 Ashtami 10 Navami 11 Dasami 12 Ekadasi 13 Dwadasi 14 Trayodasi 15 Chaturdasi 16 Pournami Kala Krishna Paksha 2 Chaturdasi 3 Trayodasi 4 Dwadasi 5 Ekadasi 6 Dasami 7 Navami 8 Ashtami 9 Sapthami 10 Sashti 11 Panchami 12 Chaturthi 13 Tritiya 14 Vidhiya 15 Pratipath 1 Amavaasya One can see that the Chandra kalas are same corresponding to Sukla Paksha and Krishna Paksha except on Amavaasya. During the Amavaasya or New Moon Day, Surya Nadi and Chandra Nadi of Ida & Pingala gets united at Tamomaya (Darkness) Mooladhara. In pindanda this is called Tamomaya state or Andhaka (dark) state. The distance between sun and moon is zero. In Brahmanda also, the physical sun and moon also come in the same line. Hence, at Mooladhara, this state is called ‘A-MA’. ‘MA’ means “the form of Kala which is ready for vriddhi (expansion) and Kshaya (contraction)”. So, ‘A-MA’ means the form or state which is eternal and not having the vikaras of kshaya and vriddhi. This form is the para sodasi / sadaa / dhruva kala. Since, samayacharis worship this 16th kala with the help of 15 kalas of sukla paksha, there is no kala left for them to worship the sodasi. In this state, if upasana is pursued, the 16th kala which is left out dissolves and there is the danger of shedding his mortal coil as there is no kala left for sustenance. Hence, Amavaasya is prohibited for worship of Sodasi for Samayacharis. Samayachara means ‘SA+MAYA’ ie., Union of Sodashi with Para Siva. Since, Para Siva or Prakasa holds this 16th Kala of Sodasi, he is called 17th Kala in Tantra Sastra. This 16th Kala is the picture shown at the crown of the head of Siva in the photos and images of siva. This 16th Kala is the Srichakra for Samayachari. This 16th Kala is being worshipped with the help of 15 kalas of Chit Chandra mandala which is the 15 Bija Aksharas of Panchadai (KA E I LA HRIM, HA SA KA HA L HRIM, S KA LA HRIM). Now, for Kaulas, the place of worship is Mooladhara which is the region of darkness. They worship the ‘Bhaga’ or Kundalini at Mooladhara and Svadhistana chakras which are tamo maya. Hence, Antaryaga worship of Srichakra is prohibited for Samaya School on Amavaasya, Uttarayana Punya Kaala (Makara Sankranti), Dakshinayana Punya Kaala (Karkataka Sankranti). With regards, sriram.
