Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Dear Latha Nanda, In the introduction to Lalita-sahasranama-stotram, you can also see the Lamityadi-pancapuja....(Worship of the Five Elements). The five elements are listed here,as well as the bijas associated with them (and, so, the chakras in the body)...so you are offering yourself as well, when you are offering the five elements. Swamiji, I hope this information is "correct", as this is my understanding from Sri Chakra Puja. best love, sadhvi PS: Ardis: thank you for the lovely post about puja and Bingo...for your poetic sadhu vision. I still have these thoughts of the Maha Kumbha Mela in 2001, every once in a while....wishing I could have wrapped a blanket around and walked away into that crowd...but, here I am!

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Hari Om Swamiji and Divine Family, I have a question about lineage. I understand there to be five main lineages established by Shankaracharya. I am drawn to those teachers from the Saraswati lineage, as I believe you are also a part of this line. Also a part of this lineage are my beloved Satgurus Sri Swami Satchidananda Maharaj and Master Sivandaji Maharaji. Swamiji, could you please explain a little bit about these lineages and why they were formed? Is it important to stay within one's lineage and if so, why? I do understand that All are One, and the essential teachings and scriptures are for everyone's benefit, but I've been holding this question for some time in hopes that you could help me understand. Thank you so much for being in my life! Jai Maa! Sweet Blessings to All, Lynne - nityashakti Thursday, February 12, 2004 4:46 PM Re: Five Articles of Worship Dear Latha Nanda, In the introduction to Lalita-sahasranama-stotram, you can also see the Lamityadi-pancapuja....(Worship of the Five Elements).

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Sadvi, Wow, you got to go...I so wanted to, but it was not to be. However I take some consolation from being anointed with the sacred water the following summer. Swamiji had opened a bottle someone had given him and was scattering it about at the crowd at the retreat up here. I got a huge drop right in the eye. It may be silly, but I felt Mother was giving me consolation for my feeling of loss at not being able to go.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 pranam. i have always held shankaracharya in gratest repsect, since first being introduced via ramana maharshi's recorded talks. might i also ask something, who does shankaracharya consider a sannyasin? spiritual wanderers who are of no lineage ... are they incarnated from a lineage they themselves are unaware of, or is it possible to grasp shanracharya's intent directly? peace and thank you, steve c. , "swami_satyanandasaraswati" <swami_satyanandasaraswati> wrote: > Shankaracharya divided the Sannyasins into ten tribes called Dasnami > > Bhaarati full of light > Giri live in the mountains > Puri live in cities > Saraswati scholars > Van live in forests > Aranya live in groves > Tirtha live in pilgrimage places > Paarvat live in the high mountains > Saagar live at the ocean > Naath defenders of the faith > > > , "Lynne McKinnon" <omgirl@p...> > wrote: > > Hari Om Swamiji and Divine Family, > > I have a question about lineage.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 I believe one commonly stays within one's Akhara though, correct? I don't think this is a hard fast rule, but this is common. Can you ask Swamiji to say a few words on the various Akharas and also which one He belongs to.
