There is an uttara anga puja to the Devi which involves Shad (6) Darshana Puja.

They are 1) Bauddha 2) Vaidika 3) Shaiva 4) Saura 5) Vaishnava 6) Shakta. All

these called *darshanas* as they help us to behold / experience the atma tattva.

 

The 5 jnanendriyas and manas also makes us experience sabda, sparsha, rupa,

rasa, gandha respectively. Hence, These 5 Jnanendriyas + manas are also called

Shad (6) Darshanas.

 

By becoming antarmukha and dissolving these 6 darshanas in the *Chit* principle

of Parasiva is the rahasya of Shad Darsana Puja.

There are 4 avasthas: 1) Jagrat 2) Svapna 3) Sushupti 4) Turiya.

The abhimani chaitanya of these 4 avasthas are:

1) Vaishvanara 2) Hiranyagarbha 3) Ishwara 4) Turiya respectively.

 

There is also a 5th avastha (as per Shaktas) which is called Turiyatita Avastha

and the corresponding abhimani chaitanya is Turiyatita tattva. All the 4

avasthas and their corresponding abhimani chaitanya have to be dissolved in

their respective 5th principle. Again they should be dissolved in the *Chit*

tattva

which is the source of these avasthas and abhimani chaitanya.

 

This is the rahasya of pancha panchika puja.

That Nirvikalpa - Nirvishaya - Nirmala Jnana in which the end of the entire

srauta / smartha karma kanda where they rest and find their source; such a

Vimala Jnana in the form of *Chit* shines / strolls (charati) in the Hridaya /

Dahara Akasa (khE).

 

Such a Chit tattva that shines in the Dahara Akasa is called *khEcharI*. Such a

khechari tattva dispells all the tapatraya of the upasaka and confers the

Siva-jnana.

 

Note: khE - charati iti khEchari. *kha* denotes the dahara / hridya / chid

akasa. So, to experience the one-ness with the Chit tattva in Dahara Akasa is

the vastava khechara mudra.
