One day, when he was bathing in the Pushkara teertha, he overheard two deers talking to each other on how fortunate they are to be in the vicinity of ParashurAmA and how well prepared he is becoming to kill KarthavIryA. However, one of the deers said, there is still one thing that ParashurAmA need to do to be completely ready and that is to go to AgasthyA and request for Krishna amrita stOtrA. Hearing this, ParashurAmA went to AgasthyA ashramA and narrated what he heard from the deers and AgastyA told him the previous birth secrets of the two deers (A young Brahmin boy named SUri goes to the forest to collect flowers and fruits for puja. He witnesses a tiger chase a deer and kill it. On seeing this, Suri feels intensely for the deer and dies of shock. In the next birth, Suri is born as a male deer and the deer killed by the tiger as the she-deer). AgasthyA teaches the Krishna amritha stOtrA, which is very sacred and secret to ParashurAmA. That stotra is given below:

The deer couple that followed ParashurAmA to the Agastya ashrama heard this stotra and immediately got salvation and reached VaikuntA. This was witnessed by all the sages of Agastya ashramA. BhArgavA RAmA went back to his ashrama and practiced all these stotras and mantras. One day, when he was in deep meditation, Vishnu (KrishnA) appeared and confirmed that with the trilokya vijaya and Krishna amritha mantra, ParashurAmA is ready to face KarthavIryArjuna. Vishnu also communicated that ParashurAmA is His own "amshA" and that after eradicating the egoistic KShatriyas and restoration of Dharma on earth, ParashurAmA should await for Dasaratha RAmA's arrival in TrEthA Yuga at which point the mantle of DharmaparipAlanA will be passed on to the next avatArA. Now that ParashurAmA received confirmation that he is ready for the fight, he reached MahishmatipurA, the capital city of KArtavIryArjuna and sent Maharishi Atreya to inform the King about the atrocities performed by the king in the past and that ParashurAmA has come to challenge and punish him for his deeds. The King accepted the challenge and asked ParashurAmA to come to battlefield and immediately disposed a huge army with 12 vIra purushAs leading the battlefield. In spite of bad sagunAs (omens), the King's army ignored those and pressed forward. The first leader to come in direct contact with ParashurAmA was MatsyarAjA. He hurled the Parvata astra against ParashurAmA to which BhArgavA Rama used VAyavAstra that pushed Matsya raja onto his own army killing thousands. ParashurAmA then dispatched the NArAyanAstrA which wiped out the Matsya RAjA's army and killed him. Other chieftains of KArthavIryAlike BrihadbalA, SOmadutta, Vidharbha RAjA, MithilEswarA, NishadAti,

23

Magadha RAjA, etc. went to face ParashurAmA one by one and ended up with the same fate. KArthavIryA changed the strategy and asked all his chieftains to engage in a combined combat instead of facing BhArgavA alone. The newly spirited chieftains surrounded ParashurAmA from all sides. Seeing this, BhArgavA used his divine axe (parashu) and fought with them by rotating in all ten directions for 3 days and dispatched each of them to the doorsteps of YamA. KArtavIryA now sent SuchandrA, a great warrior and a person with a lot of magical powers. ParashurAmA released the NArAyanAstrA and to his disbelief, it proved ineffective. ParashurAmA then sent the Shiva shUla and it became a garland on SuchandrA's neck. At this point, ParashurAmA realized that Suchandra is a devotee of BhadrakAli and possessed all possible powers and BhadrakAli herself as the shield. ParashurAmA then prayed to BhadrakAli and she appeared before BhArgavA. She was seated on a lion, wearing a munda mala, three eyes, carrying a trishUl, and an appearance that would instill fear in other. ParashurAmA prayed to BhadrakAli as follows:

BhadrakAli asked ParashurAmA to think of her and release the AgnAyAstra against suchandrA and she will take her bhaktA to her abode. ParashurAmA did as per instruction and SuchandrA was immediately dispelled to Kailasha. KArtavIryA was furious upon learning that SuchandrA was no more. He sent PushkarAkshA who came fiercely into the battlefield by raining arrows around BhArgavA to which BhArgavA retaliated with VarunAstrA. PushkarAkshA released vAyvAstrA to stop its effect. ParashurAmA sent the brahmAstra which was also controlled by PushkarAkshA. BhArgavA became furious and took his divine axe and charged against PushkarAkshA who immediately stopped BhArgavA by sending the panchavishikAstra - a five pronged arrow with hissing poisonous cobras as pointers and these hit BhArgavA. However, BhArgavA immediately composed himself and literally jumped on his opponent and cut of his head with his axe. This reflexive action of ParashurAmA was witnessed in awe by the dEvAs and they responded by showering flowers on him. Finally, KArtavIryA himself came into the battlefield with his 400 feet long golden chariot drawn by hundred horses with huge stock of arms and shields. He has one thousand hands and each of them has a unique weapon and power. His 100 sons also came in the same chariot and each of them a warrior by their own right. The battle between BhArgavA and KArtavIryA was truly a battle between Heros. One being an avatara himself and the other being a disciple of DattA the form of all the

25

trinities put together. KArtavIryA dispatched the BrahmAstra and BhArgavA had no choice but to dispatch another BrahmAstra to neutralize its effect. However, knowing that the earth would not able to handle the clash of two brahmAstras, the ever merciful ParashurAmA took them into his eyes thus saving the humanity from a big calamity. BhArgavA then dispatched two speedy arrows that cut off the ears of KArthavIryAand this momentary action shocked KArtavIryA. He started thinking of his guru DattA who would typically come as a shield and protect him is such dire situations. However, since KArtavIryA is facing the punishment for his sins, DattA chose to stay away from this battle. Realizing this, KArtavIryA resumed fighting using his mantra Shakti by dispatching AgnEyastrA. Rama stopped it with varunAstra. KArtavIryA then dispatched gandharvastra which was controlled by Rama's vAyvAstrA. KArtavIryA then sent the nAgAstra which was stopped by the GarudAstrA. Finally, out of desperation, KArtavIryA thought of a TrishUla given by his guru to be used when there is nothing else left and hurled it against ParashurAmA. This hit ParashurAmA and made him unconscious. MahAdEvA immediately appeared and administered SanjIvani to BhArgavA and brought him back to life and asked him to create a shield around him with the TrailOkya Vijaya Krishna kavacA and sprinkle water around using the Krishna amrita shlOkA. ParashurAmA did as instructed and dispatched PashupatAstrA on KArtavIryA who sent SudarshanA to control. However, sudharshanA got absorbed by the pashupatAstrA and burnt KArtavIryA into ashes. After killing KArtavIryA, ParashurAmA continued killing the remaining armies and the sons of KArtavIryA. However five of KArtavIryA's sons manage to escape the battle field. Prashurama was ecstatic with accomplishing his promise and proceeded to Kailasha to thank MahAdEvA for helping him when needed. He was stopped by Ganesha who mentioned that the Shiva Dampathi is alone and ParashurAmA has to wait until they come out. ParashurAmA was anxious and wanted to meet them immediately. Thus Ganesh lifted him by his trunk and dragged him to all lokas and even gave him an aerial view of Vaikunta and Satyaloka and brought him back to Kailash playfully. ParashurAmA got annoyed and cut Ganesha's tusk with his axe. This action resulted in a great disturbance across all worlds and disturbed PArvathi. She was upset with ParashurAmAs action and made Shiva realize that she is unhappy with her dear bhakta. KrishnA and RAdhA came there to ParashurAmA's rescue and granted several boons to Ganesha and also requested Parvathi to forgive BhArgavA as he is none other than Vishnu himself. BhArgavA also requested forgiveness from everyone and PArvathi was satisfied. ParashurAmA returned back to his father's hermitage and shared all the stories. Jamadagni and Bhrigu ordered ParashurAmA to go for a 12 year tapasyA to wash away the sins of killing so many lives. ParashurAmA listened to his father and went to the forest to do the penance. History repeated again, this time in the form of KArtavIryA's five sons who charged at Jamadagni, cut off his head and went away to their kingdom to display their victory. The elder brothers of ParashurAmA had to perform the kriyAs to the headless body of their father.

26

ParashurAmA was furious to hear this after he returned from his 12 years of penance and now vowed that he would cleanse the earth by wiping out all kshatriyAs for 21 generations. He killed the sons of KArthavIryAand in 21 systematic attacks killed as many as 12 thousand KshatriyA kings and their male progeny. He searched every corner of the earth for KshatriyAs and erased them from the earth. Finally, ParashurAmA and his brothers dug up five sarovars in kurukshEtra and filled it up with bloody heads of the Kshtriya vamshA and performed pitru tarpanAs and shrAdhas. BhArgavA also went to GayA teertha to perform the pitru karya at the chandra pAda. This is the reason why the syanntaka teertha in kurukshEtra and the Chandra pAda at GayakshEtra are still popular for pitru kAryas. After getting rid of all the evils, ParashurAmA performed an Ashvamedha yagna and entrusted to Sage kashyapa all of the BhuLOkA except Mahendragiri reserved for his residence. ParashurAmA retired to Mahendragiri and quietly performed penance for many many years. After Bhargavas retirement, wars break between allies of BhArgavAs and the HaihayAs and as a result the land mass south of Gokarana was submerged in water. The Brahmins of Gokarna approached ParashurAmA to restore the land and BhArgavA commanded VarunA to recede. When VarunA didnt respond, ParashurAmA fixed the arrow in his bow and seeing this, VarunA receded. Since the arrow was fixed to bow, ParashurAmA directed it towards the north and it formed the surpArka TIrtha (currently in Nala Sopara in Thane Dist of Maharastra). This arrow reclaimed a land strip that is 600 yojanas (5600 miles) in length. This incident has led to the belief that Kerala was restored by ParashurAmA and hence referred to as ParashurAmA Kshetra. ParashurAmA waited till the Treta Yuga and encountered Dasharatha RAmA upon hearing the breaking of Shiva Dhanush. While he challenged RAghavA for a battle, he was made to realize that Rama is none other Himself and RAghavA has come to carry the DharmaparipAlana forward. ParashurAmA also re-appeared during the Dvapara YugA as the teacher of KarnA. He taught KarnA all the astra-shastra vidhyas with the assumption that he is a Brahmin. One day, when ParashurAmA was sleeping on the lap of Karna, a beetle stings KarnAs lap and out of respect for the Guru and also to ensure that Gurus sleep isnt bothered, KarnA controls the pain.The beetle contines to sting and makes a hole in the lap and blood start to ooze from the lap and touches the face of ParashurAmA. ParashurAmA wakes up and on looking at the scene, he recognizes that Karna has to be a KshatriyA and curses him that he would forget all the teachings when it is needed. This curse came true in the MahAbharatA battle field when KarnA was about to fix a brahmAstra on ArjunA, he forgets the manthra and ArjunA used that opportunity to kill Karna. After the Dvapara YugA, ParashurAmA is still residing in the Mahendra Hill waiting for the Kalki AvatArA to happen in the 4th pada of the Kali Yuga so that he can teach the Kalki AvatArA the astra-shastra vidya and the other divine weapons. Meru Tantra gives some notes on the whereabouts of ParashurAmA in the current age

Sampradaya pravartaka as per Datta Samhita

- By Shri AtmAnandanAtha

Datta samhita is a text on the tenets of Sri Vidya upasana. The detailed exposition of the rasmi mala mantras with the attendant worship (avarana pooja) and sadhana with prayoga in each chapter is a joy to read. The twenty fourth mantra of the rasmi mala is the guru paduka. In this chapter a wealth of information necessary for Upasakas is seen. Lord Datta revealed that due to his blessings Bharagavarama, will be the pravartaka- the cause of spread of the Sundari Vidya. In the second yuga, While Sri Rama, son of dasaratha visited the matanga ashrama, he will be blessed with the vidya of matangi and will become the propagator of the syamala upasana, Later in the third yuga, Sri Parasurama will bless the intricacies of the Varahi worship to Bala badra, the elder brother of Bahgavan Vasudeva Krishna, and make him the propagator in that worship. During worship these three sampradaya pravartakaas have to given due respect and acknowledgements, other wise the pooja will be a waste. Let us examine these ideas said above: In the khadgamala mantra we find a reference to Sri raamanandamayi. Since the khadgamala is for Srikrama we can explicitly infer this as a reference to Lord Parasurama from the above, and also elicit a hidden hint on the other two raamaas. (Incidentally, the gurus mentioned in khadgamala- caryanathamayi will refer to Sri Maha kameshvara, mitreshamayi to Sri Svacchanda bhairava, Shashtisamayi to Lord Shanmugha and Uddisamayi to Sage Durvasa krodhabhattaraka.) We find a name in trisati- hala drut poojitaa and in saubhagya astottara sata - hala hastaarcita padaa, which explicitly points to Balarama, who is meditated as having a plough and pestle in his hands. Varahi is also holding these as weapons in her hands. They also take a form of a deity with the shape of these weapons on their head as a crown in her enclosure. The body is considered as a kshetra- field, where the seeds of the past karmas are sown after ploughing. Thus the plough denoted the experience of the past deeds in the body. The pestle is the remover of husk of the seeds, thus preventing its regeneration. The pestle represents the actions in surrender to the divine and submitting all our work to the divine, thus removing the husk call I or ego centric deeds. Varahi Devi denotes the body, thus she has these weapons in her hands to send these messages to the aspirant and so does Bala bhadra. He is also seen as having a perfect body, well maintained, a body combat warrior. Bala bhadra is also meditated as intoxicated with wine; Varahi has the wine sea (Sura samudra) in her enclosure. These denote that, not the ordinary consciousness level is seen in them, they have an altered higher consciousness, and to denote this state we find the reference to drunkenness.

33

Thus it is indeed proper that Bala bhadra is identified with the sampradaya pravartaka of Varahi.

L as yxZT WxqsuUr xWqsuUr Wx xW uiV xqmSr muiM ospS UqllSlj mSM merq lq

We find a name in trisati- lakshmana agraja poojitaa, which explicitly points to Sri Raghu rama son of dasaratha and elder brother of Lakshmna, who is meditated as having a bow and arrow in his hands. Syamala is also holding these as weapons in her hands during the battle with Bhandasura. Her Bow is called brahma siras, presented by the deity of dhanurveda- Science of weapons/archery. Both Sri Rama and Syamala Devi are dark skinned. Sri Rama avatara has maintained the humane quality aatmaanam maanusham manye raamam dasarataatmajam- I consider myself as a human, son of king dasaratha. Syamala Devi is the life in the body, which is denoted by Varahi Devi. The soundsangita in the body is the heart beat, which is the sure sign of the lively existence. Syamala Devi is the prime minister, the buddhi intellect, truthful to the king- the consciousness. This truthfulness if found throughout the life of Sri Rama. Thus it is fitting that sampradaya pravartaka of Syamala is Sri Rama

L Ys x yxZT WxqsuUr xWqsuUr Wx xW zrqs xqmSr muiM SzUj UqllSlj mSM merq lq

We find a name in saubhagya asttotra revealed in tripura rahasya raamaarcitaa. This name without any prefix can be explained as pertaining to the first of the three raamaavataara, and is also called aadyaraama; since the other have raghu and bala as prefixes. Parasurama is the son of jamadagni and renuka and is meditated holding an axe and also a bow with arrow in his hands. One of the main incidents in the life of BhArgavA rama is the slaying of his mother renuka. Thus he is called maatruhaa. maata means measure. As in maatru maana and meya, the limitations imposed by the mayaa on the jiva siva. Her head was severed with the axe. In parlance we find the trees are cut with an axe- Lalitha sahasranama- bhavaaranya kutaarikaa and mrtyu daru kutaariaa. Here the forest is compared to the whole samsaara and individual tree is compared to death. The branch of this tree is used for the handle of an axe and finally cuts of the whole forest. This is whole idea behind the five m in the tantric sadhana. We can interpret this as the use of the part of knowledge to remove the bonded knowledge. Thus we find that the knowledge is personified as the axe here. Thus killing of the mother with axe is in reality the removal of the measurable to realize the immeasurable with the help of knowledge. He then prays to his father, who is also his preceptor, for the resurrection of the mother and is called maatru jeevaka. After the realization of the infinite, the same universal maya is now acknowledged in the sahaja sthiti. This is the resurrection.

34

Another incident is the stealing of kamadhenu by kartaveerya, its retrieval after the destruction of kartaveerya. Another name we find is gotraNakrt and go pradaataa savior of cattle and protector (giver) of cattle. Here go means the senses. Thus control of senses by not letting it wander or being stolen and its focus on the path of sadhana as said in kaulopanishat- sarvendriyaanaam nayanam pradhaanam. The bow and arrow will point to the mind and senses and its restraint. These are there in the hands of Lalitha Devi too with a different material. These are the play field of the Lalitha Devi. Thus it is indeed apt that Sri Bharagava Rama is the sampradaya pravartaka of Sundari.

1. What is the difference between Nithya Puja and Naimittika Puja? Answer: The daily saparyA ritual carried out in the morning after sandhyA is called nitya saparyA. SaparyA means pooja with whole paddhati, including vishEshArghya prathishtA; tantras dont accept a concept called laghu pUja. This is a must for all dikshitas. Repentance (prayascitta) of non-performance of nitya saparyA is one hundered and eight chants of Pancadasi VidyA, with a sankalpA nitya krama kArana ashaktatvAt ashtOttara shata vAra mUla mantra japamaham shri gurOrAgynayA

karishyE. (lir q MUh Aziui AUzi uU qs ql emqW aUUr MUwr) The special ritual should be done on five days of a month is called naimittika saparyA namely (a) amAvasya (b) pournami (c) krshnapaksha ashtami (d) krshna paksha caturdasi (e) first day of the solar month. We have to perform these naimittika saparyAs with more devotion and specially made offerings. (panca parvasu vishesharchanam kuryaat- Parasurama kalpasutra) The reckoning of these dates is such that these tithis shall be present in the sunset time (pradOsha kaala) up to two hours into night. If two days have equal durations of these tithis, then the day wherein the tithi is longer in the night shall be chosen. The repentance (prayascitta) of non-performance of this is one thousand and eight chant of the pancadasi vidyA with a sankalpa naimittika krama karana ashaktatvaat asttottara sahsara varra mula mantra

japamaham sri guror aagynayaa karishye. (lqM q MUh Aziui AUxWx uU qs ql emqW aUUr MUwr). Please note that these two are two different poojas. One should not neglect doing saparyA (either nityA or naimittikA) for more than a month, else the dIkshA is said to be lost and we have to get dIkshA again. This is also the reason of sAmAyika pUja inclusion in saparyA, which implies that one should at least participate in a pUja, if doing pUja is a constraint. Please Note: These are the dictums of tantras; however, indviuals should always get these points clarified with their own guru and follow their guru instructions.

2. How to find todays nithya?

Answer: The tithi at the sunrise is to be reckoned for calculating todays nitya. Even if the time span is less, this nitya is to be taken as todays nitya in case of daily ritual (Japa or nitya devi archana in daily saparya). If the same tithi is repeating in the next day morning, then the same nitya is repeated. In case the next day tithi is one skipped (if today is tithi dvaya) then there will be two nityas for today. In case of special poojas (naimittika pooja ) , the tithi prevalent at the time of pooja is to be taken as that days nitya in the nitya devi arcahna of this saparya.

3. What direction should the sAdhakA be facing while doing the PUjA? Answer: In Sri vidya saparyA, the sadhaka will face east while Sri Devi will face west. pooja poojakayor madhye pracee dishaa. So, irrespective of any direction the sadhaka faces in the worldly sense, the directions will align as according to the above dictum. Sri Cakra is therefore also called direction changing Cakra.

4. What would be the PUrthi VidhyA in Rashmi MAlA for HAdi and SAdi vidhya upasakas?

Answer: The pUrti vidyA of kAdi karma is the kadi pancadasi without bhuvaneshvari bijas in the first two kUtas. The similar removal of the bhuvaneshavri bIjas in hadi karma will give the hAdi pUrti vidyA, it is also called as turIya vidyA. The same in sAdi will result in their pUrti vidyA. By tradition we find the turIya vidyA in prevalent mandalis guru pAdukAs. However this is not to be confused with the pUrtividyA of the krama which is kAdi kramA.

5. If a person had upadEshas and pAdukAs from several Gurus for Ganapathi, Bala, Chandi, and Panchadashi and then received Shodashi from a different Guru, should all pAdukAs be chanted?

Answer: If we have different gurus from whom different levels of upadEsams are got, like Bala, pancadasi etc, the final guru will be the pUrnabhishEka guru and all other forms will now merge into his form, only his pAdukA is to be chanted in all rituals

6. Should JapA be done as part of the SaparyA? Answer: Yes, the daily (nitya) japa is a part of the sandhyA vandanam. There we will say, sandhyAyAm sri gurOrAgynayA japE viniyogah. In pUja (saparyA) after kAmakalA dhyAna we are instructed to do japA, there it will be shrI vidyAngatvEna shri gurorAgynayA japE viniyOgah.
