I am extremely happy to receive this comment. In fact I could not control my sob while writing this. I literally experienced while I was writing this. When devotion transforms into love for Her, emotional outbursts are quite common. This is the initial stage of Bliss. When Bliss becomes intent, we tend to forget the material world during that particular time, which can be explained as momentary disconnect from sensory organs. Such stages are to be experienced and enjoyed. I am doing my bit towards this goal. I sincerely thank you for this observation.

Yes you are right. They are worshiped anticlockwise only. I have accordingly changed in the article. Thank you very much for pointing out this error.

Dear Sir,I humbly accepting my mistake regarding points 2&3 above. What you have said is right.Regarding direction of the pooja (clock/anti clock) I differ with. Here are the references in this regard.1. Srichakra vilasanam by Sri Tummalapalli Ramalingeswara Rao P.No.312. Srichakra Pooja Vidhihi by Sri Chaitanyananda P.No.3463. Sriman Mantraraja Ratnaakaram-Srimat Tripurasundari pooja tarangam P.34 by Sri Arunachala Sastry (1908 edition)From the above texts it is clear that pooja in sarvasiddhi chakra is anti clock wise direction.As you said all these thins doesnt matter for srimatas pooja. Only bhakti prevails.Regards,

As I said, there will be variations. I go with Paraśurāma-kalpa-sūtra. According to me, these things do not matter much and one has to follow what his or her guru says.

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,
