Guest guest Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 NAMASTE: Thanks Eric for the great question. There are several different, yet, interrelated techniques. The one we have been discussing, Bhuta suddhi, teaches one to move the energy into, then through the chakras, by chanting the mantras for each, rising from base to crown. Then back down, then completing at the crown. The next technique is Bhaya matrika nyasa: establishment of the letters of the Sanskrit alphabet on the outside of the external body of the worshiper. This technique ascribes a position in each of the centers of activity for each of the letters, so that the worshiper can understand and experience the totality of creation as existing within the physical body. The next technique is Matrika nyasa: establishment of the letters in the chakras. This system places the Bijas or natural names inside the chakras, which are the energy centers within the body. In this meditation we conceive that not only is all existence moving in My every movement, as in the former Nyasa, but also that all the vibrations of the universe comprise the very essence of my being. The next meditation is called Anga Puja: worship of the Divine Mother's Body, using Tattva Mudra on both hands touch the worshiper's body and establish Mother's mantras into different parts of the body. The above techniques are all included in the " Advanced Shiva Puja " and " Cosmic Puja " , texts, translated by Swami and available thru the Devi Mandir Web site, www.shreemaa.org. There are detailed instructions on how to perform these techniques in the texts. Also, on the Mandir web site, you can listen to Swami teach some of these techniques from the Cosmic Puja class he taught several months ago: visit the Mandir web site for the link below: http://www.shreemaa.org/drupal-4.7.3/node/743 class 8. Please obtain the text, either Advanced Shiva Puja or Cosmic Puja, and read about the techniques. And listen to the class on-line. Then e mail any questions. If I cannot answer them I will forward to Swami. Maa and Swami have made this data available for all devotees. They feel these techniques are very helpful for developing a closer relationship with God. I strongly suggest learning these techniques on-line, as there are subtleties of the techniques, which are best transmitted thru and by the Guru.
