SRI LALITHA SAHASRANAMAM - TAMIL BASHYAM | ADHYAY SARAM - AUG-24-2018 - DISCOURSE - 36

Om Namasivaya Nama:

Chapter 12 - Yogini Nyasam

Naama Manthram:  465-532 (67 Mantras)

In this Chapter, Vasinyadhi Vag Devis praising Sri Lalithambika as how much she is involved and protecting the human body even though it is mortal and perishable within a specific period of time. Further reveals that She resides in every being irrespective of their type and gender. Her Yogini Devis are occupying a specific part of the body in different names. Our bodies are constituted mainly with 7 basic internal Dhadhus (primary components) and 2+1 external & eternal components which make our life livable. The minute one of the eternal component leaves, our body will become useless and fall down. You may call it dead body!

This is what elaborated in this Chapter. Here Adhyathmikam (Spiritual) and Vignaanam (Modern Science) will meet and greet each other to make us understand about our precious body. Based on the understanding the devotee starts feeling the power of Goddess in specific places within our body mainly from Mooladharam till Sahasra Padhmam is called Nyasam. Remembering and recognizing subtle power thereafter giving thought waves in a particular place is also called Nyasam. It is also a cleansing job and protecting the body through the help of Yogini Devis. Actually, without Nyasam no worship is allowed as per Sri Vidhya Upasana Parampara. Actually, any Pooja is designed as per the order of Nyasam, Dhyanam, Manthram Japam, Upacharam, Homam, Argyam, Brahman Bhojanam. For attaining any specific personal wishes one has to do in this manner whereas for Nish Kamya Prarthana any approach will do. 

Sri Vidhya Sampradhayam giving importance to the following as equal to each other (Thadhathmya Bhavam) i.e. Para Brahman Parasakthi and the followings are one and the same. They are:
1) Sri Chakram/Meru, 2) Sri Vidhya Manthram, 3) Sri Lalithambika, 4) Guru and 5) Ownself. 

In Pooja Kramam (System) the Nyasam is in 3rd place viz: 1) Rishi, 2) Chhandhass, 3) Nyasam and 4) Dhyanam. They are set of 2 pairs 3 each, total 6 placements.

There are many Nyasam approaches but mainly they are two sets. Laghu Shoda Nyasam and Maha Shoda Nyasam.

Laghu Shoda Nyasam deals with Ganesas (51 deities), Grahaas (9), Nakshathras (27), Yoginis (7), Raasis (12), Peedas (51) = Total 157 Devathas.

Maha Shoda Nyasam deals with Prapancham, Bhuvanam, Moorthis, Manthras, Devathaas and Mathrukkal (Divine Celestial Mothers). Here all Sakthis are innumerable and only imaginable. Hence nobody can give a particular number. Yet some of the other Mantras explaining that there are 7 crores (70 Million) Maha Manthras, 33 crores (330 million) Devathas, 8 Divine Mothers etc.

Now let us learn about Saptha (7) Dhathus (Components): Whatever food we eat, the major portion of the food essence (Rasam) will be allocated to create Skin (Thwak) and the balance will be Rakth (Blood) with the help of body heat produced by Pingala Nadi. They are made one from the other viz:
Food Rasam = Thawk (Skin), Rakth (Blood), Mamsa (Meat), Kozhuppu (Fat), Asthi (Bone), Majja (Marrow) and Sukla/Naadham (Semen).

Sakthi Moolakam / Konam = Thwak, Rakth, Mamsa, Kozhuppu & Asthi (5 components)
Siva Moolakam / Konam = Majja, Suklam, Pranan & Jeevan (4 compoents)
Siva Sakthi Moolakam = Para Sakthi (in-divisible).
Total Dasa Dhathus (10 components)

To be continued.

SRI LALITHA SAHASRANAMAM - TAMIL BASHYAM | ADHYAY SARAM - AUG-17-2018 - DISCOURSE - 35

Om Namasivaya Nama:

Chapter 11 - Pidaani Anga Devatha Swaroopam (Concluded)

Naama Manthram:  373-464 (91 Mantras)


Om Namasivaya Nama:

Vasinyadhi Vagdevis explained further that our divine mother is being worshipped in all families from an immemorial time (Heriditory system). In fact, She is a Parampara deity and humans started worshipping her from their first existence on this earth. {Even in the scientific material world, the firstborn baby will have to say Ma...} Therefore, She is a family deity, which means less complicated and simple approach / fewer formalities in worshipping Her. At a later stage, Devi Upasakaas designed a worshipping system called “Sri Vidhya Upasana”. This Sri Vidhya Upasana system has 3 disciplines or doctrine called Samaya Matham, Misra Matham & Kaula Matham (VamAcaram & DakshinAcharam). Though there are multiple ways to worship Her, She accepts all methods of worship and enlightens Her devotees to the immortal position.

Our divine mother is not only mother to us, but also for God’s Parampara. Here referred as the mother of Kumar (Murugan/Karthikeyan/Subramaniyan etc) and Ganapathy (Gajanan/Vinayak etc.). Kumar significates Lord of AHAM / “Self” and Ganapathy “Eternal Existence” and the relation and connecting code is Mother. Ganapathy in our body resides in Mooladhara Chakram and Kumaran in Sahasraara Chakram. Our life energy called Praana Sakthi (which is nothing but our divine mother Kundalini Devi) connect and travels between Mooladharam and Sahasraara Chakram. Those who worship Her with innocent devotion will be bestowed with the knowledge of Self and its Existence (Asthithwam).

Therefore, the devotee who realizes this truth after understanding the concept of Sri Lalitha Sahasranamam will be granted with four auspicious qualities known as Thushti, Pushti, Mathi and Druthi. It is not easy to achieve these qualities in first birth itself. Lots of good deeds can only provide such merits.

Thushti (7 qualities) = Thosha (Happiness), Posha (well nurtured), Gnaana (True Knowledge), Dhairyam (Brave), Sama (Patience & Tolerance), Kalyanathwam (Always Prosperous) and Kamaneeya Vachak (Thrilling Speaker/Orator).

Pushti (10 qualities) = Vak, Gnanan, Sarira, Indriyam, Kshethram, Dhana-Dhanyam, Praja, Pasu, Gramam and Dharmam.

Mathi = Extraordinary brilliant, discriminative and sharp brain power.

Dhruthi = Brave, determination and not afraid of losing material comfort.
She gives special protection to her devotees through Three Important Knowledge viz: Sabdha Gnaanam (Sravana roopam/Hearing power), Anumanam (Manana rupam/Mindpower) and Nidhi Dhyasanam (Agamanam/Retrieving and Forwarding Analytic power).

Ajapa Manthra Vidhya is being explained in this Chapter known as Hamsa Vidhya. Our Prana or life energy is emitting a divine subtle sound which is not possible to hear with our ears. However, we need to chant this manthra (assuming imitation method) while inhaling and exhaling our breath. For Inhaling (Poorakam) say SOHAM HAMSAHA and for exhaling HAMSA SOHAM (Rechakam), in other words, SOO…HAA….

All divine achievements are nothing but realizing Her and getting closer to Her to become Herself!

Summary: Realizing the power of the Human Body by way of its divine functions and response system designed to listen to the Self and Mind will take the devotee’s life for liberation.

SRI LALITHA SAHASRANAMAM - TAMIL BASHYAM | ADHYAY SARAM - AUG-10-2018 - DISCOURSE - 34

Om Namasivaya Nama:

Chapter 11 - Pidaani Anga Devatha Swaroopam (Continued)
 
Naama Manthram:  373-464 (91 Mantras)

Further revealed that divine mother is full of Chaithanyam. She grants 8 important Sidhis to her devotees' children viz: Anima, Mahima, Lagina, Garima, Easithwam, Vasithwam, Praapthi and Prakaamyam. Though She is invisible to naked eyes, yet She reveals to her through her form and sound. Out of many creations, She creates the primary source for further creation by Brahma, they are 6 creations viz: Sama Srushti, Mahathmya Srushti, Pancha Bhootha Srusthi, Ahamkara Srushti, Eakadasendriya Srushti and Digmatha Srushti. 

She is Vidhya (Knowledge of Self) and Avidhya (Lack of Self knowledge and Ignorance). She becomes Sun and spread its energetic Chaithanyam in the galaxy as well as devotees heart and keep the mortal body fit to realize absolute Brahman. What more can you expect from a divine mother Lalithambika?

Brahman has many qualities yet these Six are the primary. They are Sath, Chith & Ananda and Icha, Gnaana & Kriya.  She ignites the Chaithanyam in Chethanan (Jeevan's name after departing from a body...until it reaches celestial worlds) for those who know Her through Her Lalitha Sahasranamam (The primordial source for all divine Manthraas/hymns including Vedas). 

She is also known as Gayathri Devi worshipped by devotees during Three Sandhya time (Morning, Afternoon and Evening). Those who chant Gayathri Mantha will be protected by the Manthra Devatha 24/7. Maha Gayathri is known as a set of 3 Maha Devathas Manthras put together with 100 Manthraas. They are Savithri Gayathri 24 letters, Durga Gayathri 44 letters & Thrayambaka Gayathri 32 = Total 100 Mathraas/Letters). Here I would like to give the placement of 24 letters of Savithri Gayathri Manthras spreading across 24 hours. 

Om - Invisible Primary Source (Soonya=0)
Midnight to Morning - That (1), Morning - Savithu (2,3,4), Vaneni (5,6,7), Yam (8), Noon - Bhargo (9,10), Devasya (11,12,13), Evening - Dhi (14), Mahi (15,14), Diyo (17,18), Yo (19), Na (20), Midnight - Prachodhayaath (21,22,23 & 24). 

She sits in 36 Thathwaas (Eternal Principles) starts from Siva (Para Brahman) till Prithvi (Earth). She keeps the Aathma/Jeeva inside 5 Kosas (Sheaths) viz: Annamaya Kosa (Nurturing), Praanamaya Kosa (Life energy force), Manomaya Kosa (Mind), Vignaanamaya Kosa (knowledge of Experience) and Anandamaya Kosa (Absolute Ecstacy). This will help the devotees to keep his mortal body for a long period for realizing the absolute Brahman and its reality. In fact, the body helps and supplement the cause of Realization (Sareeram Aadhyam Khalu Dharma Sadhanam).

Note: I made a mistake in telling the temperature of the Sun surface at 634 degrees instead of 5505 degrees. Please take note of this error and forgive me.

SRI LALITHA SAHASRANAMAM - TAMIL BASHYAM | ADHYAY SARAM - AUG-03-2018 - DISCOURSE - 33

Om Namasivaya Nama:

Chapter 11 - Pidaani Anga Devatha Swaroopam (Continued)
 
Naama Manthram:  373-464 (91 Manthraas)

As we learn further, we will gradually realize that our body (though it is perishable) is the divine gift itself. Once a devotee realizes that each and every limb are occupied by a divine power, we will be free from bondage. 

In this Chapter, another important function is explained called "Rahoyagam". Offering everything to the lotus of feet of Paramathman who resides in the Sahasraara Pathmam or Brahma Ranthram. The fire used here is called "Chidhagni" a subtle fire of thoughts. Those who do this Kriya will be blessed by Parasakthi. She is witnessing every activity of this universe, therefore, there is no one to witness Her functions. 

While doing this Kriya (Raho Yagam), a true devotee will be promoted to know that Siva and Sakthi are sharing 6 important Limb and its Merits viz: Siva occupies Heart, Head, Nose, Eyes, Ears and Tounge whereas, Sakthi produce 6 divine merits known as Aiswaryam, Veeryam, Kerthi, Sri, Gnanam and Vairagya that produce Sarvagnatha, Thrupthi, Nithya Sudha Bhodham, Swathanthratha, Naasa Rahitha Sakthi and Anantha Sakthi. Those who achieve these 6 merits will be known as Bhagavan, in other words, the one who possesses these 6 qualities can be called as God or Bhagavan. This shows Her authority to create Gods and Goddesses also elevate human beings to Deva and Godhood. 

Hereafter the devotee reaches the stage of Nirvana and makes him/her liberate from transmigration. 

She is attended by her 16 divine servants known as Thidhi Nithya Devis known as "Kameswari, Bhagamalini, Nithyaklinna, Bherunda, Vahni-Vasini, Maha Vajreswari, Sivadhoothi, Thwaritha, Kulasundhari, Nithya, Neelapathaka, Vijaya, Sarvamangala, Jwalamalini, Chithra and Thripura Sundari. In other words, a realized devotee will achieve these 16 Devis as his 16 divine Auras and shine like stars.
