Introduction
We covered important mantra and pUjA kramas of mAtangI in the last issue. In this
issue, we will be focusing on the tenth and the last dashamahA vidhyA kamalAtmikA.

In this issue we bring the mantra japa kramA, AvaraNa pUjA kramA, and nyAsAs of
kamalAtmikA. The kamalA ashtOttara shloka, kavacA, lakshmI hRudayam,
kamalAtmikOpaniShad, and several kamalA stOtrAs have been included as well.

As usual, we would like to caution the upAsakAs that these dEvatAs CANNOT be taken
lightly and the mantrAs considered like any other mantra. As the tantras rightly caution,
this path is like walking on a sword and can only be ventured into by the Grace of the
GurunAthA. The upAsana karma of these dEvatAs demands strict yamA and niyamAs
and also ardent faith on the Guru and the dEvatA. It is important to understand the
meaning of the mantra, the physical representation of the dEvatA, and contemplation on
the deeper aspects of the same. These can only be provided by the Guru and by the
power of the sAdhanA.

These mantras cannot be taken lightly and readers are strongly adviced to check with
their Gurus prior to start practicing any mantra or procedure as detailed in this issue.
We thank ShrI yOgAmbA samEta AtmAnandanAthA (Shri Ramesh Kutticad) for proof
correction and authoring the Q&A section.

Lalithai vEdam sarvam.
Surrendering to the holy pAdukAs of Shri Guru,

r vidy sapary has two frequencies, the nity and naimittika. Daily ritual- nitya- is to
be done in during daytime. Naimittika is performed on five days in a month viz.
paurami, amvsy, ka paka aami, ka paka caturda and msa
sakramaa after sunset with special offerings. Tantra has indicated a monthly
schedule of things available at those seasons of a year to be offered as these special
offerings, mostly on those respective paurami, which have been compiled in
Nityotsava by r umnandantha. The month followed here is the cndramna- lunar
calendar. We have covered the pAushya month pUjA in the past issue.
Next is the mAgha month, which has the white sesame seed, red flowers and naivedya
of ApUpA pUjA. Offering apUpA (made from wheat flour mixed with jaggery, cows milk
and ghee (fried)) as the naivedyA is this months agenda. On the day before, get white
sesame and red flowers. Prepare aPupA as mentioned above. Chant

Worship all the varaa devats with flowers and again with the white sesame seed

best of your capacity. Have Devi Prasad along with likeminded aspirants and be Happy.

(The dashamahAvidyA kamalA mantra used varies by gurumaNDalAs. There are 1
letter, 2 letters, 3 letters, 4 letters, 9 letters, 10 letters,11 letters, 12 letters, 13 letters, 14
letters, 16 letters, and 27 letters kamalAtmikA mantrAs. The mantra used by your own
Guru maNDalam should be practiced. Hence, we are giving a generic kara nyAsa and
anga nyAsa here. This should be replaced by the ones prescribed by your Guru
maNDalam.)

There are numerous variations of kamalAtikA mantras (1 letter, 2 letters, 3 letters, 4
letters, 9 letters, 10 letters, 11 letters, 13 letters, 14 letters, 16 letters and 27 letter
kamalAtmikA mantras) and hence we are not providing the actual mantra to avoid
confusion. Each guru mandalam follows a particular variation. The most prominent
mantra is the 13 letter kamalAtmikA mantra and we suggest that the mantra given by
the Guru be used here.

upacra pj? Any variations of the number of lights used is seen in texts?
Magala rati during catuai upacra pj is one of the eye catching service
offered to Lalitmbik. We are directed to draw aadala or adala or caturdala

centre and rest in petals respectively. Worship with nine syllable ratneavri mantra,
show cakra mudra. Worship bell appropriately and wave lamps in a clock wise
direction from the head to foot of that invoked deity in front nine times while
simultanoeuosly ringing the bell, chanting the below sloka

.To keep a

2. Is there a specific place to keep the dhpa and dpa after showing it to the
deity?

Yes, tantra declare that there are specific areas to place things after performing
specific services. After showing dhpa (service of smoke) at navel centre of the
invoked deity place it on right side of that deity. Like wise after showing dpa
(service of lights) at eye level of the invoked deity pace it on left side of that deity.
Similarly above Magala rati being a service of lights has to be placed on left of
the invoked deity after performing that service.

3. Please elaborate on the bali dna procdeure, is it three times chant of

mantra with three times pouring of smnyrghya over tattva mudra on to
the bali or once? I find different practices in different places?
On our left (Deitys right) draw a diagram with smnyrghya made of triangle, circle
and square. The apex of triangle should face the deity. Worship this diagram as said in
the manual, place a copper vessel half-filled with food and water to the entire, add a
drop of vierghya and a piece of ginger in it. Holding pupkatas in tattva mudra
chant that mantra said in manual thrice, pour smnyrghya over tattva mudra on to
bali. Hit the floor with left leg, clap left hand, and knit your eye brows looking at the bali.
Show (nrca) ba mudra and meditate that this bali has been acpeted by the
devatas, prostrate with yoni mudra.
