Guest guest Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Dear members, The fifteen (15) riks of the Shri-Sukta has 8, 2, 7, 9, 8, 3, 7, 4, 7, 3, 5, 4, 5, 6, 3 numbers of “Râ€s respectively. The total of all the r-kAaras are 81. R-kAara is the Bija of Agni and hence there is a mode of worship of Srisukta Yantra by meditating on Agni at the backdrop. Keeping in view these 81 r-kAras, a 9 x 9 matrix yantra is constructed which has 81 squares. Based on this 9 x 9 matrix yantra of Sri Sukta, 45 parivara devatas related to Vastoshpati is also worshipped which becomes Vastu Yantra. Based on this 9 x 9 matrix yantra of Sri Sukta, Sitala Devi is worshipped for good health of off springs. As per the Navarna Mahameru Prasthara, there are corresponding Bija Mantras for 9 principles ie., 1) Prithivi 2) Chandra 3) Siva 4) Maya 5) Sakthi 6) Agni 7) Kama 8) Ardha Chandra 9) BIndu. Each of the Bija is taken and samputikarana is performed with the Sri Sukta for the kamya prayogas. Every bija of Bala / Panchadasi / Shodasi is used as Samputikarana with Srisukta for specific purposes. There is also a prayoga of using Akarshana Bija and Pancha bAna Bijas (Ayudha Bijas) as a samputikarana with Srisukta. Based on the Sri Sukta, the Srichakra is created and this method has to be learnt from one’s gurunatha alongwith the above-mentioned samputikarana and prayogas. It is interesting to note that in the entire matrika varna mala (vowels and consonants), there are 81 ardha-matras which corresponds to 81 “râ€s of the Srisukta. And hence the 1st chapter of Chandi says : “ARDHA MAATRA STHITHA NITYA – yaanuccharyaa visheshatah Tvameva sandhya savitri – tvam deva janani paraa†Mother is the “Eternal Principle†as 81 ardha matras in the Matrika Varnamala.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 shri gurubhyo namaH shri mahAgaNapataye namaH Friends: There appears to be some paatha bhedana here... Is it " tvam deva jananI parA " or is it " tvam devi jananI parA " . The gita press gorakhpur book has it as " devi " , not " deva " . The Shri Ramakrishna Matham book also has it as " devi " . Please advise. Thanks and Best Regards: KR. shri mAtre namaH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 It is " devi janani paraa " . You are right. Thanks for the correction. There is a patha bheda here. Some chant as " veda janani paraa " . If it is veda janani, then mother is addressed as Gayatri. This meaning is reflected in the next sloka as " tvameva sandhya savitri.. " which describes the Gayatri swarupa. I am happy that people are keenly observing my posts and pointing out typing devils. regs, sriram , " Kumar Ramachandran " <kramach wrote: > > shri gurubhyo namaH > shri mahAgaNapataye namaH > > Friends: > > There appears to be some paatha bhedana here... > > Is it " tvam deva jananI parA " or is it " tvam devi jananI parA " . > The gita press gorakhpur book has it as " devi " , not " deva " . > The Shri Ramakrishna Matham book also has it as " devi " . > > Please advise. > > Thanks and Best Regards: > KR. > > shri mAtre namaH > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 shri gurubhyo namaH shri mAtre namaH Friends: We do read everyone's posts with keen interest, don't we ? So, perhaps my bark is worse than my bite, Shri Shriram ? Thanks and regards. KR. shri mAtre namaH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 shrI gurubhyo namaH shrI mahAgaNapataye namaH Friends: I have also heard interpretations that " ardha maatraa " represents half of the maatraa of the pranava. i.e., it represents (vocally) the last half of the Omkaaraa or the sound " mmmm " or, it represents (typgraphically) the bindu portion of the chandra bindu in the sanskrit version of the praNava. This is not to deny Shrirams statements earlier. Both symbolisms appear perfectly applicable to me. Thanks and Regards.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Dear kumar, Namaste. My earlier post was just a proverb. I am afraid if it is understood in literal sense. By the way, barking dog seldom bites. I am not hurt. Thanking you, with regards, Sriram Kumar Ramachandran <kramach wrote: shri gurubhyo namaH shri mAtre namaH Friends: We do read everyone's posts with keen interest, don't we ?

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 shrI gurubhyo namaH shrI mahAgaNapataye namaH Dear Shri Shriram: People ( especially us Indians ) dont quote proverbs without context. So, I dont believe that your statement was " just a proverb " . However, since you say so, I will give you the benefit of the doubt. If, on the other hand, you did have some context in mind, then you should explore what caused you to make such a statement. I believe that some people have such pride in their public display of knowledge that they don't like to be corrected . So, they tend to have momentary lapses of equanimity. I am not sure if this applies in your case. You must decide for yourself and act accordingly. Thanks and Regards. shrI mAtre namaH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Dear kumar, I do not want to reply to yours keeping in view of terms and conditions of the forum of not mudslinging on each other and also for the fear of rupture of our cordial relationship. But yes, I have learnt the lesson that knowledge should not be shared with everyone or else these are the comments that would come up like " headstrong " , " arrogance " and all sorts of blah blah… By the way, you are somewhat correct in guessing. Yes! I take pride in claiming myself the grandson of Smt. Vajreshwari (who herself was the tara and tripurasundari upasaki) and the great-grandson of Vashishta Ganapati Muni. And fortunately we are not heir of the estates, bank balances, Toyotas etc. The legacy which is left behind by the Vashishta Ganapati Muni is just a small piece of Sriyantra and some of the Rg Veda Bhashyas for us. AND WE TAKE PRIDE IN HEIRING THOSE. Beyond this, I just do not want to entertain your posts. But still we would maintain our cordial relationship. With warm regards, Sriram Indro viswasya rajate…… , " Kumar Ramachandran " <kramach wrote: > > shrI gurubhyo namaH > shrI mahAgaNapataye namaH > > Dear Shri Shriram: > > People ( especially us Indians ) dont quote proverbs without context.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 shrI gurubhyo namaH shrI mahAgaNapataye namaH Dear Shri Shriram: I bow to your heritage. It is a grand one. I am sure all of that heritage will get you the moksham you seek. Just remember, though that sometimes humility is the order of the day. All of the Rishis in Ramayana, for all of their knowledge, did not get moksham. When they were re-born as Gopikas in the Raasa Kreeda, Shri Krishna gave them the Purnamadah upadesham It also know that Kabir, who did not have that good a heritage, said. " Pothi padh padh jag mua, pandit bhayaa no koi. Dhai aakhar jo prem ki, padhe so pandit hoi " - " In all of this world, no one became a Pandit by reading books. The ones who have read the two and a half aksharas of the word " prem " have indeed become pandits " . Just one more comment. I did not sling mud. I only stated facts. But, only you know why you accused me of being sarcastic, and called me a dog on this open forum. However, yes, I agree this matter is closed, and I have no further issues to talk about. Thanks and Regards. shrI mAtre namaH KR. - sriram Thursday, August 14, 2008 2:05 AM Re: The Vastu Yantra in Srisukta Dear kumar, I do not want to reply to yours keeping in view of terms and conditions of the forum of not mudslinging on each other and also for the fear of rupture of our cordial relationship.
