Namaste Vaj ji Please tell me of this external ritual? For example puja? > Samaya practice is internal >(i.e. you might not necessarily see such > a practitioner doing anything obvious externally).

" i must politely take exception with your statement. As when i *google* your "Rajareshsvari" name i come with nothing!! However if i *google* the name i told you- "Tripurasundari" i come with 16,000 sites related to Devi Tripurasundari http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=tripurasundari Results 1 - 10 of about 16,000 for tripurasundari.

No Sir. As i pointed out to you before.., when Adi Shankara presented gifts to Devi Tripurasundari at the temple in Kanchi. He gave Her earrings as gifts the earrings were called "Sri Chakra". Please check the wedsite i provided for the Southern Seat. http://www.kamakoti.org/peeth/aboutpeetham.html The worship(or devotion/bhakti) of Sri Devi Tripurasundari is related to Sri Chakra, and practrised in the Kanchi mutt. The devotion/bahkti done to Sri Tripurasundari involves puja(or Arti) and homage(or prayer) and RoopDhyana(or rememberance of Her divine form) and does not involve "secret rituals". The "sri yantra" are mandalas painted on concrete or stone or paper or made with sand-(as in the Tibetan Buddhist practice of sand mandalas) and involve a mental concentration on a "yantra". > Perhaps you might > want to look at the description of what > Adi Shankara carved into the > rock there (at the Sharada temple site) Where? > and what Vidyaranya installed > at numerous other places. > > > > >> > >> BTW, just a casual glance at itineraries > >> shows participation in Sri Vidya rituals. > > > > Please- *Specifically Identify from those "itineraries" which > > are "sri yanta rituals"? > > I want to know what you are calling "sri yantra rituals". > > > >> I think you're just playing games. > > > > I think you are playing games, and attempting to get me stare at > > *VERY Artistic Mandalas* that my lovely wife > > paints on concrete for > > celebrations at our local "Hindu" temple. > > > > Are those mandalas my wife paints > > part of some "sri yantra ritual"? > > Maybe you should ask her? Well on occassion i assist her, as some are very large. However when the- frequent So. Indian visitors(some are pundits from the Sri Meenakshi) come to our temple they view her painted mandalas. While they comment on the significance of her manadals, they never ascribe any sort of worship to them! > >> Just what FFL needed--another game player. > >> Excuse me if you are > >> actually ignorant in this area, > > > > Sir Vaj Ji, > > I am not ignorant. > > I just don't by into your whole-, "tantric / shankaracharya / sri > > yantra secret rituals" thing. > > I have been to 2 Shankaracharyas(1 north & 1 south) and 2 living > > disciples of Sri BrahmanandJi Maharaj and 1 Jagadguru Acharya (my > > spiritual master). > > And, in 20 years i never heard of any secret teaching of "sri > > yantra"!!..i assure you I am not ignorant in these "areas". > > LOL, what makes you think you'd > hear of a secret teaching? LOL, What makes you think they are "secret teachings"?.. i can find "sri yantra" worship on the internet right now!! > Even SBS > sent ripe students elsewhere for > inner instruction in Sri Vidya. Where did you find this information? I have spoken to 3 living disciples of Sri Brahmanandji-("SBS") and none of them said anything like what you claim. In fact if your are on the east coast- New York, New York you can look up a living disciple yourself- H.H. 108 Swami Vishva Hiteshji Maharaj. > > Its just these "areas" of yours > > are highly speculative. > >> but it sure seems like game-playing > >> to me! > > Pranams Vaj ji > > Most politely, it sure seems like you > > are a *Poser* / wannabe. > And of course you're welcome to "believe" whatever you wish.
