Introduction
First of all, thanks for the continued support and encouraging feedback. We have also
started to receive articles from the upAsakAs and these are being reviewed by the
senior upAsakAs and will be shared and published in the future months.
1. madhyAnikA pArAyaNam
2. shrI cakrE lakshmi pUjA vidhAnam
3. shrinagara vimarshanam (part 3) and varSha Rutu AvaraNam
4. gAyatrI vidhAnam
5. gOpAla sundarI vidhAnam
6. vArAhI upAsanA thoughts and poems
On continuation with our theme on tantrika sandhyA and then the prAtaH ParAyaNam,
we have included the tatva pArAyaNa that is performed along with the mAdhyAnikA
sandhyA. That said, it need not be tied together with the mAdhyAnika sandhyA and can
be done immediately after the prAtah pArAyaNams are complete. The tatva
pArAyaNam, as explained in the previous issue, relied heavily on the dEvI ashTanga
and hence understanding of the same is very important. Readers are encouraged to
see the examples provided to determine the dina-nithya-vidyA codification for
performing these pArAyaNas. The tatva pArAyaNa should not take more than 5 mins
once brought into a daily routine.
Since varalakshmi vRatam falls in this month, my Gurupatni asked me to include the
shrI cakra lakShmi pUja vidhAnam to aid the upAsakAs to perform this karma during
the auspicious day. This karma is glorified in SrividhyArNava tantra and created by Shri
ParashurAmA himself. The introduction and phalastuti from the tantra is included for the
readers to understand the importance.
We have included Gayathri mantra japa karma in this issue along with the not so
popular shapa vimOcana mantras and the 24 gAyathri mudrAs in pictorial form. The
gAyathrI AvaraNa pUjA and the ashtOttara have been included. The gAyatrI
thirupugazh poems in Tamil are included as well. The picture of gAyathri in the tanjore
style that is included in this issue was painted by me fifteen years ago.
3
Since gokulAshTami falls during this month, a rare japa karma and pUjA vidhAna of
gOpAla sundari has been included. This is a unique tradition of worship where KrishnA
is worshipped as gOpAla sundarI. The 18 letter Krishna mantra and 15 letter
tripurasundarI mantra are combined together to form a 33 letter gOpAla sundarI mantra.
There is also a tradition of using the bAlA bIjAkSharAs to form a 21 letter bAla gOpAla
sundarI mantra. In Mannargudi, shrI rAjagOpAla swami is meditated as shrI vidhyA
rAjagOpAlA and the diety is said to be installed upon the shrI chakra. In fact, during the
brahmOtsavam days of this temple, the dietys alankAram will be of the form of madana
gOpAla sundarI. This form of worship has been popularized by shrI leelAshukar in his
kRushNa karNAmRutam. This mantra and vidhAnA are provided in
manthramahoddhadhiH, purashcaryArNavaH, shrividhyArNavaH, and
prapancasArasangrahA.
4
Few south Indian traditions follow AshAda navaratri according to the tamil month Adi
and since this is attributed to VarAhyambA, we have included vArAhi pancagam and a
beautiful nakshatra mAlai (where each song will contain the name of the nakshatra in
order) penned by Shri. Elandai. S. Ramasami. ShrI AtmAnandanAthA has provided a
wonderful article VArAhI some thoughts that covers some subtle meanings and
meditative nature of vArAhI upAsanA. The beautiful photographs of vArAhyamba, laghu
vArtAlyambA, svapna vArAhyambA, and tiraskaranyambA are included in this section.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to my Guru Dampatis, Shri
AtmAnandanAthA (Ramesh Kutticad), and my father Shri. Elandai. S. Ramasami for
taking the time and performing the tedious work of proof reading this magazine. It is
because of them, several spell errors and procedural errors have been eliminated in this
issue and this e-magazine has come out to be a worthwhile edition that can be used by
the UpAsakA community.

Yuga Guru MandalA
Worship of the preceptor is utmost importance for a srividya upasaka.Tantras have
identified three groups of preceptors, the divine, the accomplished and the earthly
naming them as divyA, siddha, and mAnavA. Parasurama kalpa sutra defines the
number of gurus in each of the above mandalA as muni veda nAga samkhya;- of the
numbers in groups viz muni sages seven; vedas four and nAgA Serpents
eight. The exact names are not said there, we are directed to look in other tantras.
Interestingly in Paramaananda tantra we find a reference to various mantras of Sri
Lalitha with respect to the yugas and a corresponding guru mandala in the said
numbers (pages 420 -426), this is decoded and shared for the bliss of all upasakas.

It is wonderful to see that the tantra prescribes the worship of all these guru mandalas
as a part of the anuttaraamnaaya worship. Hence we can conclude that whilst once
reaches the state of experience there is unification of all sadhanas and no distinction of
any mantras. (anuttaraamnaaya represents the experiential state) The other tantras like
gyanarnava , dakshinamurthy samhitaa are in agreement with the above kAdi guru
parampara (the fourth). The same is also found in compilations such as SrI tattva
cintAmani, prapanca sAra sAra sangraha, srI VidyArNava tantra.

ShrInagara vimarshanaM
In the last issue, we looked at the beauty of the mahApadmATavI, the dEvatAs in that
region - in particular the rashmi mAlA dEvatAs. The cintAmaNi gRuham has an area of
4 sq.yOjanAs (36 sq.miles). The walls of cintAmaNi gRuham are about 2.25 miles wide
and 36 miles high. The roof is made of cintAmaNi stones. Within the house, there is a
tower (stUpA) that is 180 miles high. This tower is wide in the base and tapered as it
goes higher. On the top of the tower, there are three peaks represented by icChA,
jnAnA, and kriyA shaktI's. These peaks and the towers are also made of cintAmaNi
stones. In fact, everything in this cintAmaNi gRuhA is made up of cintAmaNI
gems.There are four entrances for the cintAmaNi gruha and they are about 1.12 miles
long and 0.22 miles wide each. The red radiance emitted from the color of lalitAmbA
gets reflected through the cintAmaNi stones studded inside the gruhA and emits a warm
light like a rising sun and feels pleasant like a moon, these are spread like waves of a
river within the gruhA. The east entrance of the cintAmaNi gruhA is called the
pUrvAmnAyA, the south entrance is the dakShiNAmnAyA, west entrance is the
paschimAmnAyA, and the north entrace is the uttarAmnAyA. The interior walls of the
cintAmaNi grUhA are embedded with gem stones that act as the lighting lamps.
In the middle part of the cintAmaNI gRuha, there is a big stage on which the bindu
chakram is located.The distance between the wall and this middle part is 6.75 miles.
The units of measurements described from this point changes from yOjanAs to
muzhams (arm length - approx 1.5 ft. ). The gradient elevation from mahApadmATavi to
the cintAmaNi gRuhA is 20 muzhams (30 ft). In the area between the wall and the
center bindu area, in an area of 900 ft wide and 30 ft high, houses are contructed in
order for the siddhi sakthi's animA, mahimA, laghimA, Ishitva, vashitva, prAkAmyA,
bukti, icChA, prApti, and sarvakAma. THe favorite siddhi shaktI's of yOgi's are rasa,
mOkSha, bala, kadga, pAdukA, anjana, vAk, lOha, and dEha siddhis. These are crores
of siddhi's like this and they stay on the four sides and constantly medidate upon
lalitAmbA. The beautiful and ever youthful animAdi siddhis, appear like a just
blossomed lotus, majestic looks, and play with the cintAmaNi gems in their hands.
On top of this area, there is another layer that is 30 ft tall and 900 ft in length for each of
the mAtrukAs - brAhmI, mAhEshvarI, kaumAri, vaiShNavI, vArAhI, mAhEndrI,
cAmuNDA, and mahAlakShmI respectively. They sport various weapons and lives there
with their own commanders and armies. Their houses are located clockwise starting
from the East.

On top of this area, there is another layer that is 30 ft tall and 900 ft in length for each of
the ten mudrA shaktI's - saMkShObinI, vidrAviNi, AkarShiNI, vashaMkarI, unmAdinI,
mahAnkushA, kEcarI, bIjA, yOnI, and trikhanDA. These beautiful, youthful and radiant
mudrA shaktI's are housed in the clockwise order starting from the East.
These three floored layers are together called as trilOkya mOhana chakrA. There are
beautiful stairs with steps made of cintAmaNI stones between each of these layers. All
these shaktI's as a group is called prakaTa yOgiNi. The governess that is in-charge of
these three layers is called tripurA chakrEshwari. She is assisted by the mudra shakti
called samkShObhaNA.
On top of this three layered first chakra, there is another layer that is 30 ft tall and 900 ft
in length for each of the nityAkalA dEvis kAmAkarShiNI, budhyAkarShinI,
ahankArAkarShiNI, shabdAkarShinI, sparshAkarShiNI, rUpAkarShiNI, rasAkarShiNI,
gandhAkarShinI, cittAkarShiNI, dhairyAkarShiNI, smRutyAkarShiNI, nAmAkarShiNI,
bIjAkarShinI, AtmAkarShinI, amRutAkarShinI, and sharIrAkarShinI. They spread the
moon like radiance in all the directions. All the shaktIs in this layer is commonly called
gupta yOgiNI and the layer is called sarvAshAparipUraka chakra. This layer is headed
by tripurEshI and ably assisted by drAvaNIkA mudrAshakti.
Beautiful cintAmaNi steps lead to the next chakra that is on top of the second layer.
Similar to the second layer, this layer is also 30 ft tall and 900 ft wide for each of the
anangA deVIs ananga kusumA, ananga mEkhalA, ananga madanA, ananga
madanApurA, ananga rEkhA, ananga vEginI, ananga aMkushA, and ananga mAlinI.
These shaktIs have great valour and are assisted by crores and crores of great
warriors. These shaktIs are very powerful and are always focused in their attention to
the great empress. All of these shaktIs are commonly called guptatara yOginI and this
layer is called sarvasaMkShObhaNa chakra. This layer is headed by tripurasundarI and
ably assisted by AkarShaNA mudrA shaktI.

Varahi- Thoughts
- By AtmanandanathA
Parasurama kalpa sutra is one of the major guides in the practical saparya the
worship of Sri Vidya, others being various tantras like Tantraraja, Nitya shodasikarnava,
Paramananada, Gynanaranava etc. Bhargava Rama having got initiation from Sri
Dattatreya on the tenets of Sri Vidya, proposed them in the form of small aphorisms,
called sutras. This must have been his condensation of the voluminous Datta samhita.
Initially Bhargava rama spells out the deeksha khanada. The first quality he recognizes
in an aspirant is mati- sarvatra matimaan deeksheta. The person whose intellect is
awake, or rather one who has an intuitive intellect, has to obtain this deeksha. This is
possible by the recitation of the vedic gayatri, which prays dhiyah pracodayaat let the
intellect wake up and shine. Thus he places the same gayatri mantra as the first to be
chanted in the rasmimala, the early morning bed side ritual. Then he points to the
mantra to be initiated as bala Tatra balaam upadishet- paschaat ishta mantram
dadyaat. He identifies the root mantra as Bala and says the pancadasi or sodasi in a
coded way only.
The next chapter is on worship of Lord Ganesa, the obstacle remover in the path of
sadhana. The sankalpa will be srividya upastau nirvighnatayaa siddhyartham. For this
a strong background on finance and health is required. Mainly the mind tends to reach
out of uncomfortable positions, be it wants of money or ill health or mind torturing
circumstances. It will not go searching on the philosophy and its aspects. Thus we find
the phala sruti of the caturavartti tarpanam as
Long life, health, riches, strength, robust, great fame, poetry, all worldly pleasures and
liberation. Thus the wants for life and a health are got by the worship of Lord Ganesa.
84
Next is the upasana of Varahi and shyamala. Bhargava rama says- pradhna-dvr
rja-prasdana hi nyyyam- the justification is same to seeing the royalty. Varahi
mantra has 112 syllable, the Devi has emerged from the five flowery arrows of Sri
Lalithambika. The five arrows represent the panca tanmaatraa- the sound, feel, form,
taste and smell, which are the aspects of the five basic elements- space, air, fire, water
and earth. These are intermingled the process is called pancikarana- and the visible
universe is created.
Bhavanopanishat says vaaraahi pitru roopaa- Varahi is verily the Father, masculine
form. As per astrology the body is from the father. The body is also made up of the five
elements. The universe is also made up of these elements. Thus came the saying
whatever is there in the body is there in the universe and whatever is there in the
universe is there in this body. The Visible universe is a product of the primordial creative
urge called sakti. Thus this upAsana is to understand that the whole seen world is the
deity who is the consciousness.
The ritual manual defines a two syllable bija for this Varahi Devi upasana. They are the
vak and the bhoo bija- aim and glaum. Aim as seen earlier will point to the origin of the
so und form- sabda srti and in turn the Vedas. glaum g is Isivara tattva indicative of
Lordship , l is prthvi tatava indicative of all five elements and the universe. Thus the
creation visible universe and its Lordship are established in these bijas, this as seen in
the above enquiries too.
Varaha is the tusked boar, which lifts the world in the deluge or saving from the demon,
who hid it under waters. Thus the clear image of the realization of the highest by the
aspirant in this body itself (kaulopanoshat says- where there is creation the body-
there itself is liberation: Pindaat jananam tatraiva mokshah).
Also we find reference as yagna varaha in puranas, which is an indicative of the Vedas
and the rituals connected with it, the sacrifices. The tusk is a direct reference to the
teeth which are required for exact pronunciation. The elevation of the earth by the tusk
will now point to the level of higher experience by the deity with the help of Vedic rituals
and sacrifices. The Srividya saparya is termed and a yagna, makha, the entrance is
85
called yaga mandira pravesha. Thus this sadhana karma is Vedic and helps us to attain
the highest level of consciousness.
The injunction of Bharagava rama is na diva smaret vartaalim- dont remember her in
the daytime. Considering another injunction of Bharagva rama- prakatyam na kuryaat-
dont reveal to the non initiates, the first direction becomes clear. Since this devi is out
of the five flowery arrows, the pance bhutas, they are the five m, which manifest the
ananda in this body, being a secretive upsana method is referred as not in daylight.
Unique is the avarana of this devi, wherein we find the seven dhatu devatas in the six
cornered hexagon. We are amazed to note that the seventh dhatu nathaa, yaakini is in
the central point, where Sri Varahi is there. Also we find the two major weapons
ascribed to this Devi, the plough and pestle present as deities in the enclosure wearing
the form of these weapons as a crown. We find their functions as attraction-
aakasrshana and paralyzing-stambhana respectively. This will point to the sowing of the
past deeds (karma) and removal of husk reaping (the husk being the doer sense is
removed and all actions are envisaged as performed by the deity), thus leading the final
realization of the self. These attributes are also expressed in the mula mantra
Stambhanam kuru kuru sheeghram vashyam. Also we find two whisks fanners on
either side in the ritual manual, which is unique. They are the two lungs in the physical
body; the fanning is like the inhaling and exhaling action.
In the next enclosure we find a multitude of devatas. Indra with his court dancers,
apsaras. Here Indra will represent the indrya dasaka adhipati, the ruler of the ten
sensory organs, the individual ego. The apsarasas will represent the subtle art
manifestations in each person. Agni, is the subtle heat inside our body. This manifests
for digestion, study and procreation- jataragni, bhaudhagni and kamagni. Sadhyas and
siddhas, the creative intellect and accomplishing feat in the body. The vishve devata
and pitrus- They are the representative of the cause of this body. Next we find the
rudras and rudra paricarakas- servants. Also we find dhanvantari and ashvini devatas.
The rudras are curative aspects and his servants perform the curative action.
Dhanvantari is the god of physicians and Ashvini are physician deities in the enclosure.
They will represent the white blood cells which are natural physicians of the body and
86
the lymph system which is the natural protector of the body. Thus the deities in the
enclosures- avaranas will indicate the gross physical body.
In the Kalpasutras Varahi krama we find the complete procedure for the bhuta suddhi.
Though all of the Srividya upasakas are regularly doing this as a part of the saparya,
this is found in this krama alone. The bhuta shuddhi clearly talks about the sankoca
sariram gross physical body, its metamorphosis into the shambhava sariram the
Eternal youthful auspicious form, which is now eligible to perform the saparya ritual.
Here again we find a direct reference on the gross body and its transformation.
Also we find many modes of transport for this Devi. The kiri chakra is the main vehicle.
Then in the enclosures we find the buffalo, the lion and the antelope. The kiri chakra is
the skeleton in the body, the basic for the body to stand up; else all muscle will be just a
loose pack. The buffalo, traditionally, represents kama or desire, which is accomplished
through the body by actions. Only a person whose worldly wants are fulfilled will be a fit
receptacle for this sadhana. The Lion being the king of all animals will point to the path,
the royal path of raja yoga. Finally, the antelope will point to the control of mind which is
a result of continuous sadhana.
The mantra of the devi also has five salutations to her different actions, they are also
found in the enclosures- avaranas as deities:-
87
3. jambhe jambhini namah- One who crushes the crushing nature
4. mohe mohini namah- one who deludes the delusive nature
5. stambhe stambhini namah- one who paralyses the paralyzing nature.
On a whole we find a massive power house of energy intermingled with the Grace in the
Devi, this will now point to another sutra of Bharagava rama as nigrahanugraha
kshamah- very skill full in destruction and grace. Destruction of the inner enemies and
grace is development of the inner virtues helping in this path. So, we find two ashtakas
to this Devi the nigraha ashtaka and anugraha ashtaka.
On a retrospection of the balidana in this krama, very rare and intrinsic thoughts arose,
which are shared here. We are directed to mix: - blood mixed rice, yellow colored rice,
buffalo flesh, rice powder- fried, honey, karana (alcohol), three pulses powder, urd dhal
powder, triphala powder of three medicinal plants, jaggery, curd, milk, and ghee in
(pure) cooked rice. Make ten egg sized balls and a wood apple sized (a bigger size)
ball. The ten are kept in a square formation with the big one in the centre long with the
first three makaaras. They are to be offered to the ten bhairavas from hetuaka and the
middle one to candocchanada. As said earlier the gross form of the sadhaka is
governed by this Devi and we also find the seven dhatus in her avarana, we are
astonished to notice that the ingredients in the bali correspond to the seven dhatus with
the gross body. The main cooked food will represent the annamaya kosha-the gross
body. All the other ingredients will represent the seven dhatus. Thus the milk will now
point to the tvak- skin, blood mixed rice and ghee - blood, jaggery and urd dhall powder-
flesh, honey and curds-fats, pulses powderbones, yellow ricemarrow.{Refer Lalitha
sahasranama of the sat cakra detiesvishuddhi carapaayasanna (milk pudding)= tvak
samsthaa (skin); anahatasnighaudhana (ghee rice)=rushira samsthita (blood);
manipura gudaana ( jaggery rice)=mamsa(flesh);svadhistana-madhu priya/dadhyanna
( honey and curd rice)- medhas (fats); muladhara-mudganna(pulses mixed rice)=asthi
(bones); agyna- haridrana (yellow colored rice)- majja (marrow)}. Triphala powderthe
three doshasvata, pitta and kapha, fried rice powderthe semen. Rudiranna (blood
mixed rice) is said again to impress on the fact that our body is made-up of blood and
88
urd dhal powder is again representing flesh the main part of the body. Buffalo flesh will
represent the kama-desire. Karana dravya (alcohol) will point to the inherent bliss
which is manifested. The ten small balls are the five karmendryas and five gyanendryas,
the big one is the mind. Bali also means to give strength, thus a appropriating these
devatas and bringing down the grace of varahi Devi in the gross body by this act of
balidana.
Hence, going through the above thoughts, we find that the solid consciousness (the
body) which is experienced as the universe is Varahi.

- Answers by AtmAnandanAtha
Answer:
The literal meaning is logical inquiry or system. This is a pre requisite for the earlier
said nidhidhyasanam- unbroken thoughts. The study of the various tantras and the
commentaries, reflecting the same in our mind deeply to understand the full purport of a
mantra or ritual will consist of this action. Initially we have to memorise the mantra or
ritual to the extent that without the help of a hand book we are able to practise it. Then
starts this action of logical , systematic study into that mantra or ritual. On deeper level
of understanding this will lead to nidhidhyaanasana.
Answer:
Essentially both are advaita philosophy, there is no difference of opinion on the unity in
the seen diversity, only the study into the aspects varies. The Pure Consciousness
(Prakaasa) is said as the ultimate in Shankara philosophy, while the Ultimate Brahman
is both prakaasha and vimarsha (the experience or contemplative reflection) in
Kashmeera shaviva. Both rely on the Grace of the Ultimate for an aspirant. Maya is
akatita ghatanaa not able to tell , unknown in Shankara while it is an aspect the
supreme will of the Ultimate to hide himself for the joyful play (leelaa). Learned
scholars may debate on the aspects, but for us sadhakas, it is suffice to know that all
tantra has mainly kashmira shaiva basis.
3. Why incense smoke (doopa) is shown before Navel (Nabhi) of a deity in the
service (upacara)?
Answer :
In the foetus state, a child breathes through the navel; all the naadis subtle channels of
the prana- have a connection to the navel cakra too. Thus the service of dhoopa
(smoke) indicative of the air element is shown at the navel appropriately.
97
Answer :
Answer :
There is no source or textual reference for Rule One. It is in sampradaya only, by virtue
of tradition. The Guru may out of necessity due to old age, infirmity and other reasons
like staying in far off places, can order the shishya to do initiation, thus elevating himself
to the parama guru level. The shishya though empowered at the poorna diksha time,
will be reluctant to initiate anyone. Thus, in order to please the guru and follow his
orders explicitly he can initiate another person. Then the Rule two will be applicable.
