Paraśurāma Kalapsūtra is the basis of Dakṣiṇācāra and this requires puraścaraṇa of aṅga vidyās before we are considered eligible for initiation into higher vidyās. Kulācāra generally refers to various other scriptures such as Śrīvidyārṇava, Mahāvaḍavāṇala (if available to them), Svacchanda, Kulārṇava and also Paraśurāma Kalapsūtra. It is much more advanced and involved using the Pañcamakāras in the gross and esoteric sense. As mentioned earlier, Shri Raviji did not want us to be too involved in the ritual worship. But for those who sought to worship the Śrīcakra, the directions to do so are in the Laghu paddhati that he elucidated on this site. He had also performed the complete paddhati a few times and mentioned that it had taken almost the whole day and did not recommend for any of us who are short on time. So, the krama is to start with mantra japa and quickly progress towards Mahāṣoḍaśī skipping the rituals that are primarily focused on material benefits. Puraścaraṇa of this mantra was recommended for those who could withstand its power. I for one could not and preferred to stay with Mahāgaṇapati and Bālā and continue to do so to this day. A one-on-one interaction with one's guru is important to make the right decision and move along. For Shri Raviji, a self-realized person whose very presence would silence our minds and all fears, nothing other than self-realization was important and for this he recommended withstanding the onslaught of Mahāṣoḍaśī and the incredibly fast and painful karmic burning that would accompany this sādhana to help us gain the ultimate sāmrājya (kingdom) of self-realization and Śiva tattva. The greatness of Shri Raviji was that he would willingly take on the karmas of his disciples to help them ascend in their spiritual journey. The good karma he accumulated in turn freed him from his mortal body much earlier than any of this disciples or family would have wanted. For most of us including myself, the Ātma tattva held by Tripura Bhairavī and Mahāgaṇapati is more than sufficient until the spiritual maturity is gained to progress towards Tripura Bālā and ultimately Śuddhavidyā. In short, the krama generally recommended by Shri Raviji in our Ānandānandanātha lineage is simplified and the focus is primarily on self-realization. To help everyone looking towards a gradual ascent vs an accelerated progress, we started introducing mantras, stotras etc. that would benefit seekers. Our other efforts are also to help seekers of other Mahāvidyās and Kālīkrama upāsakas with procedures associated with their tradition. If the Divine Mother permits, we will certainly enhance the content of this site in the coming years and make this an online library of knowledge dedicated to spirituality.

Thank you very much, Jayanth ji and Krishna ji, for your reply. I apologize for asking again, but you previously mentioned that your sampradaya is Dakshinachara. Also, is there a concept of Purashcharana as well? Since there are no rituals, the homa and tarpana that are typically performed along with japa would not be applicable. If not, I recall asking Krishna ji once about Purna Diksha, and you stated that the Diksha of MahaShodashi itself is Purna Diksha, but to reach that point, one should ideally perform multiple Purashcharanas of Panchadashi. Additionally, is there a specific manual or tantra that your sampradaya follows? I apologize for all these questions; I am simply seeking to inquire further.

Is it ok to start doing MahaShoda Nyasa instead of laghu shoda Nyasa after some regular practice?

Shri Raviji was very particular that we don't waste too much time seeking material benefits through pūja rituals and instead focus on acquiring knowledge, engage in deep contemplation and meditation to obtain self-realization in this lifetime itself. He mentioned to us several times that many sādhakas following this path were already self-realized and many others nearly there.

Very neatly organized and rendered Dear Prince. I would also request you to please do the same to the previous mantras you shared that were handwritten. If these can also be typed up in this manner, it would be very helpful. Also, if you permit, I would like to publish your document on Manblunder and attribute it to you.

So our method is purely meditational and chanting driven. The techniques are closely related to samayachara and there are no external worship adviced in this path. Ideally, process starts from rituals (navavarana puja), japa, breath control, meditations. Since the method is purely internal, no rituals are involved.

Namaste kuru ji, krishna ji and other sincere sadhak. You both are right in your perspective i agree with both you, guru is needed, but it doesn't mean the guru needs to be a human being. On contrary after some deep contemplation, I came to the conclusion that the entirety of guru depends upon the sadhak what kinda of guru he needs. The guru of gurus, guru Dattatreya himself had guru in different bodies without any lineage without any parampara and yet he become the Guru of gurus. This just goes to show the competence of the sadhak and his devotion is all that is needed. Which is why I highly agree with tīvra ji statement and opinion.

Dear Herodion and Kuru Sandhyasa and anyone else who is willing to offer initiations and advice to prospective spiritual aspirants and sādhakas, it would be of great help if you can provide your contact information and the sādhanas that you are familiar with and can offer dīkṣa in. I will talk with the other admins of Manblunder to enlist you as Gurus on our Initiations page so you may help the sincere sādhakas directly. As you have mentioned previously, the guru must discreetly offer advice to the aspirants and guide them one on one. I will also ensure that requests for intiations are forwarded to you on a regular basis as well, so you may take on more sādhakas and guide them on a regular basis. If you are able to record renditions of various stotras and nāmāvalīs, we can also upload them on our youtube channel and give due credit to you. I would certainly like to enhance the site with all the offerings that you may provide for the benefit of all. Please consider this request and I also request that you convey the same to your selfless gurus to make themselves available to be referred to directly from our site listings if possible. As they say, actions speak louder than words! I sincerely hope that you consider this request and provide the requested details. You may write to me directly at krishna@manblunder.com with the information that you would like us to provide on our initiations page for direct contact by sādhakas.
