SRI LALITHA SAHASRANAMAM - ADHYAY SARAM - DEC-29-2017 - DISCOURSE - 9

Om Namasivaya Nama:

Sri Lalitha Sahasranamam - Adhyaaya Saram Priliminary discourse

Why do you need Punyam (Holy Credits) continues...

11. Build temple or place of worship.

12. Help the seeker, whichever way possible.

13. Do not overuse, misuse or abuse anything on this earth. Use the minimum required quantity for your survival. All is not for you alone... future generation also needed.

14. Pay the right remuneration to the worker. Don't hide his/her eligible dues.

15. Do not deceive anyone, whatsoever reason. Avoid over promising whereby you can't fulfil.

16. Do your 5 important duties without any expectations every day. (Pancha Yagna/Feed = Deva, Pithru, Bhootha, Rishi and Adhithi / God, Parents, Naturally living beings, Saints & Gurus and Guest).

17. Console the needy, if they approach. It can be through Manasa / Vacha & Karmana.

18. Do not consume/enjoy any pleasure and lustful activities (Bhogham) it includes all types of self-enjoyment except Spiritual activities during Sandhya time (Cusp period/meeting day and night).

19. Respect all beings and items. Disrespecting can cause loss of inherited Punyam.

20. Do not swear upon God or Mahathma's name and do atrocities or unwise activities. No personal gain business in the name of God.

21. Do not deal or friendship with bad people (Sinners).

22. Don't instigate others to get their curse on you.

23. Never forget 3 important ikons of your life. Kula Daivam, Upasana Murthy (Personal God) and Guru who did Manthropadesam to you (it also includes own parents - who gave you a Name that itself your own identity Manthram...and what not they did not gave you!).

24. Either encourage people who are doing good work or at least do not be a hurdle for someone who is doing a good/holy work.

25. Poorva Punyam is like credit balance of your bank account. Do not overdraw such accumulated holy credits by doing/involving Paapa Kriyas. More credit balance will make you proud as well the forthcoming generations on this earth. In simple term, doing good to your mother will make you happy in this life (Ihalokam) and for father (Paralokam).

SRI LALITHA SAHASRANAMAM - ADHYAY SARAM - DEC-22-2017 - DISCOURSE - 8

Om Namasivaya Nama:

Sri Lalitha Sahasranamam - Adhyaya Saram priliminary discourse

Why should you chant Sri Lalitha Sahasranamam?

To get rid of Paapam (Demerits) and to be close to Paramathma in the form of divine mother.

Why do you need Punyam (Holy Credits)?

To be a good person in all terms. Also to achieve a prosperous divine life in case we miss realizing Paramathma within this life itself. Because Punyam (holy credits) will eventually evaporate as we live long at the same time Paapam (Demirates) keep increasing to a mountain size. Therefore all our ancestors and great people recommended us to get involved in any work that produces more Punyam so that rest assured.

How can one get more Punyam to one's life?

1. Do all your duties without any attachment or expecting the results of the work. Manasa (Mind), Vaacha (Speech) & Karmana (Action) one should be vigilant to perform his duties without expectation. Kriya = Work with expectations, Karma = Work without expectations.

2. If you don't do any Paapa Karma i.e. harming others in every respect.

3. Visit Holy places, take bath/dip in the holy water and meditate on Manthra and its Murthy.

4. Take care of Parents, Gurus (Masters and Teachers) and Children and Grand Children.

5. Do social services keeping in mind that "you are on God's duty". Do facilities for the public.

6. Do Dhana & Dharma (Involve in Charity) without any publicity.

7. Don't harm animals, birds and other creatures who are below to your status of life.

8. Do penance to keep the body serene accordingly mind and soul (Jeeva/Aathma) will also get purified.

9. Conduct Pithru pooja (rituals for Ancestors) and remember them on the departed anniversary days.

10. Don't pollute Prakruthi (atmosphere as well environment).

To be continued....

SRI LALITHA SAHASRANAMAM - ADHYAY SARAM - DEC-15-2017 - DISCOURSE - 7

Om Namasivaya Nama:

Sri Lalitha Sahasranama Adhyaaya Saram continues..

Shad Varga Pancha Upachara Pooja:

Out of 64 Upachaaraas (method and types of worships), the most popular and divine mother's preferred choice is Five Upachaaras to remind every being that these Five Element principles are the main cause of your life. Therefore, remember and embrace that choice to gain holy credits. They are worshipped in Physical form as well in Inner Mind (Maanasa). These 5 element principles lying in Beeja Manthra viz:

Lam - Prithvi Thathwam (Earth Element) - Served as Thilak on her Agna Chakram (Mid-point of eyebrows). Sandle paste, Kum-Kum, Vibhoothi or Clay Mud (like Gopi Chandan etc..), Water etc.

Ham - Aakasa Thathwam (Space Element) - Served as offering fresh, fragrant flowers or leafs to her lotus feet, lap & head.

Yam - Vaayu Thathwam (Air Element) - Served as offering Dhup, fragrant incents, across body especially and preferably to show within 16 inches from the idol. Also, show rear side of her thick locked hair cloud.

Ram - Agni Thathwam (Fire Element) - Served as showing Ghee lamp (Badra Deepam) within 16 inches. The point at her lotus feet and 6 Chakras then all three eyes. Thereafter withdraw the light from Hrudhaya (Chest).

Vam - Amrutha Thathwam (Water Element) - Served as offering recently cooked food, fruits and sweet water.

Sam - Universal Thathwam (Ashta Prakruthi Element) as Single Rasa/Jist Element - Served as offering Thamboolam (Betel Leaf) consisting Eight Mangala Dhravyas viz Chandan, Punak or Elaichi, Gorochanam, Kasthuri, Javvad, Akhil, Pacha Karpooram (edible raw camphor) and Kumkuma-poo (Saffron flowers).

The significance of this approach is that Humans are locked under the influence of 8 obstacles to see Paramathman. So by including these 8 items in the betel leaf and chew, the divine mother (or devotee himself/herself) crush those Bandhan and release them to see God. By intaking the juice (Rasa compared with Amruth). Those 8 Bandhas are Gruna/Veruppu/Disgust, Lajja/Shy/Naanam, Bhaya/Fear/Dhukkam, Sankha/Nidhanam/Hesitation, Jughupsa/Dislike/Nindhanam, Kulam/Pride of Clan, Seelam/Habits/Vasanaas/Swaya Maanam, Jaathi/Pride of Caste.

Also, note the Betel leafs when mixed with calcium (Chunnampu) it will get the power to destroy all bacterias and germs. At the end of the day, Paramathmaa being motherly nature, only wish to see her healthy children attain Amrutha.

SRI LALITHA SAHASRANAMAM - ADHYAY SARAM - DEC-08-2017 - DISCOURSE - 6

Om Namasivaya Nama:

Sri Lalitha Sahasranama Adhyaya Saram - Priliminary discourse..continues...

47. What is Purascharana Kriya

A Disciple who received Guru Mathra-Upadesam should do this function at-least once in a lifetime, if possible. Every Manthram has a number of syllables (Maathraas) which Guru will tell the disciple at the time of Manthra-Upadesam for his knowledge. The mechanism is as follows:
1. Manthra syllable times one hundred thousand (one lakh) times one should chant the Mathram
2. One-tenth of the Manthra should perform in the Homam (Havan)
3. One-tenth of the Havan should perform Brahmana Bhojan
4. One-tenth of the Brahmana Bhojan should perform Tharpan
5. One-tenth of the Tharpan should perform Maarjanam (Absolution or cleansing).

48. What is Pancha Easwara Kruthyam and subsequent Manthram in Sri Lalitha Sahasranam?

Srushti (Sri Matha), Sthithi (Sri Maharagni), Samhara (Srimadh Simhasaneswari), Thirodhanam (Chidhagni Kunda Samboodha....Siva Sakthyaikhya Roopini) and Anugraham (Sri Lalithambika).

So saying these Five Manthras a day, one will receive full blessings of Divine Mother.

SRI LALITHA SAHASRANAMAM - ADHYAY SARAM - DEC-01-2017 - DISCOURSE - 5

Om Namasivaya Nama:

Sri Lalitha Sahasranama Adhyaaya Saram - Preliminary discourse continues...05

40. Nyaasa Vidhi

Rishi - Chhandhas - Devatha is the chronology for doing Nyaasam. The Bheeja manthram (Hymn) used based on the importance of its energetic field within our body. Nyaasam means cleansing or purifying the specific part of the body so that the divine power can stay there and resonate across the body. Three important components make the Nyaasam perfect viz: Bheejam/Seed (Om Ayim) - Sakthi/Energy (Om Sau) - Keelakam/Shoot (Kleem). It is like Germination process. In other words Manthraas invisible living beings!!

41. Vital part of a Manthram

They are three portions viz: Bheejam-Sakthi-Keelakam. The reason for that is, human beings cannot see all the existence of particles in this universe. Our eyes are set for certain things to be visible to us (in fact this is one of the limitations of human beings). Therefore, all the specials and divine powers are kept in the Bheeja (Seed) and covered with Maya so that ordinary people can't access or realize the importance of it. Our great Rishis (Mahasthmaas) spent years of time on meditation to reveal these powers to the needy so that he/she can elevate himself/herself from this trouble giving transmigration.

42. Nyaasa steps/methods/approach in Sri Lalitha Sahasranaamam

1. Thrikudam =Vaakhbavam (Bheejam) - Kaamarajam (Sakthi) - Sakthikudam (Keelakam)
2. Pancha Dasakshari = 5 + 6 + 4  (Bheejam - Sakthi - Keelakam)
3. Pancha Dasakshari three part's first syllables (Ka (Bheejam), Sa (Sakthi), Ha (Keelakam) - based on Kaadhi vidya sampradhayam.
4. Baala Manthram = Ayim (Bheejam) - Hreem (Sakthi) - Kleem (Keelakam)

43. Right-hand function in Nyaasa process

1. Bheejam (touching Naval part), Sakthi (Guhya/Anal part), Keelakam (both Feet)
2. Bheejam (touching Right-hand shoulder), Sakshi (Guhya/Anal part), Keelakam (Lefthand shoulder)

44. Different names/designated status of Manthras

1 letter = Pindam, 2 letters = Karthri, 3 to 9 letters = Bheejam, 10 to 20 letters = Manthraas and 20+ letters = Maala Manthram.

45. What is Khara Nyaasam /  Anga Nyaasam 

Touching specific part of the body with particular fingers (Anguliam).

Hrudhayam/Heart = Index-Middle-Ring fingers together
Sirass/Head = Middle & Ring fingers together
Sikha/Rear of head = Thump finger alone
Kavach/Right and Left Shoulders = All Five fingers together and simultaneously
Nethra Thrayam/Eyes = Index-Middle-Ring fingers together
Asthra/circulate your head with the right hand then bend middle finger under thump finger. Thereafter, join Index & Middle finger and beat once on your left palm, then roam/Circulate your head by chanting "Bhur-Bhuva-Suvarom.

46. Importance of Head / Heart & Sikha

Head - where the knowledge resides, Heart - where divine power resides and Sikha - Kundalini power comes and goes out from here. This is why the worshiper should touch these auspicious parts of the body.
