Dear Sir,Points 2 & 3 were referred from text given by Sri Tummalapalli Ramalingewsara Rao who was a great saint from Sringeri Math. Not only in navavarana, in kameswaryadi nyasa also it was mentioned like that. As you said it may differ among various practices.Regards,

Please do not use the word ignorance. All of us are ignorant in someway or other. 1. This I have corrected now. Thanks for pointing out this. 2 and 3. What I have mentioned is correct and I have again verified and there is error on this. Probably, it could differ according to one's Guru. If it differs, it is not right. 4. Here pūjā is in clock wise direction only. We have to remember that we are worshiping inside the innermost triangle. 5. Between A and D is 2 and between C and B is 3. Probably image could have been smudged. It is not a typo error.Thanks again for paying good attention.

Sri Matrae Namah:I am very much grateful to you for detailed information on eight avarana. By ignorance I would like to bring the following points for your reference only.1. It was given that, kāmeśvarī kāmeśvara dhanurbhyāṁ namaḥ| bāṇaśakti pūjayāmi || Here, i think dhanushakti pujayami may come instead of banasakti pujyami.2. In innermost triangle pooja, it was mentioned that mahavajreswari represents surya chakra and purnagiripetha . Sir, I feel it may be jalandharapetha.3. In innermost triangle pooja, it was mentioned that mahabhagamalini jalantharapeetha . Sir, I feel it may be poornagiripeetha. And also it may mention she represent soma chakra4. It was also mentioned that pooja will be in clock wise direction. In some sects pooja will be in anti clock wise direction.I do not know whether above 2,3 & 4 points differ from achaaram to achaaram (different practices by different sects)5. In the image position of these devis represented with numbers as 1 2 2. either image may be blurred or may be typographical error. Regards,

Please forgive my ignorance- your deep knowledge brings forth more questions...Would you please say a little on what are manvaadividyaa and anaata? Pranams!

I must thank you. To my knowledge there is no separate Guru Maṇḍala for Mahāṣoḍaśī. Normally known Guru Maṇḍala are kādividyā, ṣoḍaśī, hātividyā, manvādividyā, and añāta. This is as per Paraśurāma kalpa sūtra.

Yes, you are right. I have omitted Vijayā nityā. After your observation, I have corrected it. Please let me know whether it is now in order. Thanks for pointing out this error. I am sorry for this error.

I have a small request for you. If anything not related to a particular article, you can post the same in the DISCUSSION FORUMThanks for understanding this, as otherwise comments in a particular article become too many.

Dear Sir, I have one doubt about above explained tithi nityas. Whether Vijaya tithi nitya is worshiped or not? If Vijaya nitya taken into consideration then total nityas are 15 and maha nitya will be worshiped in bindu either by panchadasi or sodasi as the case may be. Please correct me if I am wrong.Regards,
