Guest guest Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Dear sankaranarayan, With due respects I state that I disagree with you regarding the statement <<<<I may also be permitted to differ about any srividhya person suffering. Don't you think it is beyond logic to think that a srividhya upasaka will suffer when she is worshipping the first lady of the universe - Maha Tripurasundari (Lakshmi). Spirituality and material comforts go hand in hand and if one suffers in either case it clearly shows that the upasana is not perfect or the Guru had not transmitted the divine energy to that person when giving diksha. This is my personal opinion and experience and not to hurt anyone. please execuse me for this abrupt opinion, which is nothing but fact. Look at Kuchela and when he went to Krishna did he not get all the purusharthas. Until he want to Krishna he suffered and once he went to krishna all his sufferings vanished.>>>> This is not the common phenomena with most of the upasakas. But that does not mean that they are cursed by devis. Most of the orthodox Brahmins on account of their shoucha vidhana face financial constraints. Does it mean that they are cursed by lakshmi. A BRAHMIN should not care for bank balance, should not think for tomorrow’s meal, perform yaachana (madhukara / bhikshatana) vritti ie., he should beg the food from 7 doors and should be satisfied with what he got for THAT DAY ONLY. With the rice he got from bhikshatana, he should perform bhuta bali, STHALIPAKA on every 1st day of dark fortnight which is called ISHTI. This should be performed on pournami and amaavasya. He should observe A-parigraha vrata ie., should not take any gifts in terms of kind from anybody. He should perform Chandrayana vrata. He should perform Chaturmaasya vrata for 4 months every year. Should study the Veda daily without fail. Should be well versed in sroutha kanda and should perform Poundarika yajna once in a year. Apart from these, they should be CLEAN AND SPOTLESS IN CHARACTER. A BRAHMIN should maintain TRETAGNI at home ie., garhapatyagni, srouthagni, smarthagni. He should perform Sahasra Gayatri Japa, perform Panchayatana, perform Nityagni Hotra, perform Brahma yajna, Vaisvadeva, offer tarpanas daily for the forefathers and one’s guru. A srividyopasaka who is a Brahmin, should perform his Nitya Ahnika in terms of Srividya Anushtana by performing all the mandatory upasanas of a Brahmin that I mentioned above. THE TWO PERSONS WHOM I MENTIONED (MY GURUNATHA AND TADEPALLI RAGHAVANARAYANA SASTRY) IN EARLIER MAIL WERE BRAHMINS TO THE CORE. THAT IS THEY PERFORMED THE SRIVIDYA ANUSHTANA OF CHAKRARCHANA AND BRAHMANA DHARMA TO THE CORE THAT I MENTIONED ABOVE. Dear Sankaranarayanan, HOW MANY BRAHMINS ARE THEERE WHO PERFORM THESE RITES EVERYDAY? AS I MENTIONED IN MY EARLIER MAIL THAT BY DONNING THE SACRED THREAD, DVIJATVA DOES NOT COME. Whatever least amount of money Sri Sastrigal used to get, the next day he used perform ISHTI (YAJNA) with that amount and used to perform Annadana. WHERE IS THE QUESTION OF BANK BALANACE FOR THESE BRAHMAVIDYA GURUS. THE FINANCIAL TROUBLES THEY FACE IS A LITMUS TEST PUT FORTH BY AMBAAL AND THEY COME OUT UNSCATHED. FOR THEM IT IS NOT A SUFFERRING UNLIKE WE ORDINARY MORTALS. THEY ARE LIKE 24 CARATS PURE GOLD THAT GET MORE LUSTURE WHEN COMES OUT OF RED HOT FIRE.
