Kabandha Bhairava's japa, purashcharana and siddhi come first in the Vairochana lineage — a siddhi whose form the Guru fixes for each practitioner
The ultimate grace of Mahavidya Chhinnamasta cannot be attained without first receiving the grace and blessings of Kabandha Bhairava — His Japa, Purashcharana, and Siddhi must precede all else in the Vairochana lineage's sequential sadhana.
Can all siddhis be obtained by the guru mantra alone?
Asked about the Mahabhairav mantra, he says it can be used now by taking a sankalp, and that is all he will be able to tell just now. All mantras, he says, are not equal even to the sixteenth kala of the guru mantra. Asked then whether all siddhis can be got by the guru mantra alone, and if so why so many kinds of sadhana are needed, he says it is Mahamaya's own leela; the statement is entirely true in its own place that everything can be obtained through the guru mantra.
Who is the Shiva of Bhagavati Chhinnamastika?
The Shiva of Bhagavati Chhinnamastika is Kabandha, he says — Bhagavan Kabandha Shiva, Kabandha Bhairav. In this way he is also called Bhagavan Chhinnamast Shiva. Kabandha are his other forms.
What should be done with a Tantrokta Rudraksha or Vigraha in these days?
Those with a Tantrokta Rudraksha — received from the Guru lineage or otherwise — should certainly perform the Sahasrarchan upon it these four days. Sahasrarchan means offering flowers and the like with the Sahasranamavali. Do it at least the four days.
