Thanks so much raviji for the guidance. Can you also please explain the number of nyāsa-s (placing) to be done all over the body because we have nyasa like that in Navavarna Pooja for us that is shodashi initiated people seperately. Are you referring to the same? Thanks and Regards, S. Sreemahalakshmi

there is also one more reason for doing the sapindikarana on 12th day itself, if the kartha of the rituals also die before performing the sapindikarana ritual, the departed soul cannot join the pithrus of the family. To avoild the loss, the ritual is performed on the 12th day itself without taking risk, waiting for a year.This was told by our prohithar, during my grandfather's ceremoney.

There is no relevance between dhyana verse and name of the concerned deity. In Panchadashi, name is not mentioned. But in one of the dhyana verses of Bālā mantra, name Bālā is mentioned. When we say ṣoḍaśī, it wrongly understood as Her age. In fact it refers to 16 kalā-s of the moon and each kalā is represented by one bījākṣara. Secondly, when we contemplate Her during our meditation, how do we contemplate Her? She is a woman of excellent beauty, Consort of Shiva, Mother of the Universe who is compassionate and undertakes all the five activities of Brahman on His behalf - creation, sustenance, destruction (individual death, concealment and re-creation. Brahman is beyond modification and you certainly cannot contemplate Her as an elderly woman. If you recite dhyana verse with rapturous attention, She will come and sit before you and tears will start rolling down your cheeks. This is the infant stage of Bliss.

Raviji, our dhyana mantra is different and nowhere is shodashi name mentioned in the dhyana mantra. When I asked my guruji, he said that in Bala and Panchadasi dhyana mantras also the deity's name is not mentioned. Bala is 9 year old girl form, panchadasi is the woman form between sixteen to forty years and shodashi is the above forty year old form of the same Goddess.
