Guest guest Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009  Namasthe. ..  During the last few days, several views were expressed by the devotees on the ways to worship Her based on their individual perceptions. But are  these Valid and are we capable of making own judgments ?  For the benefit of devotees, I am reproducing what the Prathyaksha Kaamakshi – MAHA SWAMY, has talked on the subject, while dealing with Soundarya Lahary.   QUOTE : ( Maha Paeriyavaal )  The first 41 stanzas of Soundarya Lahary constitute the Mantra sastras. only a few can understand them and follow them in practice since very stringent rules are called for in observance.  This part contains Mantra Yoga and Kundalini Yoga. Even the slightest error in observance of these yogas can have adverse effect on the practitioner.  One can’t be careless in worshipping the Mother. She sports in many ways. Though she has laid down harsh rules for worship involving severe disciplines, She has also prescribed easy ways of sadhana.  Each way has to be practiced strictly in the manner prescribed.. Worshipping in temples, chanting stotras, hymns, singing musical compositions, conducting  Bhajans, listening to stories and puranas are easy way of worshipping Ambaal.  If a devotee thinks that these are not enough and wants to take up other ways of worship like JAPA YOGA,SRICHAKRA PUJA believing that he can practice them in any manner he likes without the required discipline, AMBAAL WOULD CONSIDER IT SHEER WANTONNESS on his part. and the consequences have to be faced.  The difficult ways of sadhana in the worship of Ambaal must be left to very few who are capable of practicing this.  Practioners of manthra or Kunadlini yoga MUST NOT LOOK DOWN UPON those who read or sing hymns – “ Like us do they follow a severe discipline or observe rules of worship ? They should not speak thus of people singing hymns,people of simple faith and devotion.  As far those who keep singing hymns also should not ask questions in the manner of practioners of Mantra yoga or Kundalini Yoga. – “ Like us they Can’t see the World with LOVE, Chanting always O MOTHER.. – What is this DRAB and ARID path they follow on Mantra and Tantra.  These paths are different paths of worship foe people with different attitudes. “   Un Quote :  It is very clear the devotees follow different paths as their vasanas as per HER DECREE. Everything is equal and not one is is superior over the other. With this message I would like to conclude without expressing anything more on the subject. “   Regards  Ganapathy = = Vijaya  ________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 EXACTLY!! Each one may worship according to their inclination, as directed by one's Guru. he need not criticise other paths. He can read and understand others' practices as matters of curiosity WITHOUT COMMENT. This ekagrata will bring saaroopya, sameepya and sayoojya. --- On Sat, 6/27/09, ganapathy = = vijaya <srividya101 wrote: ganapathy = = vijaya <srividya101 Maha Swamy's CAUTION on Ambaal Worship Saturday, June 27, 2009, 10:29 AM  Namasthe. ..  During the last few days, several views were expressed by the devotees on the ways to worship Her based on their individual perceptions.
