Guest guest Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Dear srinivas, The 64 upacharas are performed to Lalitha Tripurasundari. 64 is the symbolic representation of Ashta-Ashtaka Devis. 64 also represent 64 yoginis. When Devi visualised as Vak, 64 number is the vibhajana of Ashta Matrikas (vowels and consonants)(Pl. refer my old postings). So, these upacharas are performed ONLY TO LALITHA. Sri Vaidyanatha Dikshitar strictly prohibits these upacharas to other deities. You can refer Nityosava for these upacharas. A great tantric and agama sastra pundit by name " Pattesalinga Aradhya Ayyavaru " who was a devi upasaka at Brahamarambika Devi Sannidhi at Srisailam compiled a wonderful book on 64 upacharas. It is used in the temple. He had changed and sublimed certain forms of devi and yantra worship at Srisailam. The manuscripts of this wonderful personality are also available. It is based on Srisuktam, Purushasuktam and Durgasuktam. Regards, Sriram , Srinivas Rao <srinivasrao197080 wrote: > > Namaste ram, > & nbsp; > I appreciate your vaak chaaturya.
