Does Kurukulla belong to a single lineage, and what does her worship require?
No — distinct forms of Kurukulla exist across the lineages of each of the Ten Mahavidyas as well as Goddess Durga, and her specific worship requires initiation within that specific Guru tradition.
Which sadhanas use Bhagavati Tara's beej mantra?
Wherever a jata-related siddhi is performed, the contribution of Bhagavati Tara is the most important of all, and it is her siddhis and her mantras that are used. When you perform the prayoga of Chaur Ganapati and the like connected with some guru parampara, or are doing the sadhana of one of your Mahavidyas, or do japa of Kurukulla mantras — among the many mantras you will find there, the beej mantra connected with the jata will be the beej mantra of Bhagavati Tara alone.
Can a Shri Kul initiate use a Kali Kul teacher's vidhi?
The speaker asks the listener directly: if you are initiated in the Shri Kul and we are in the Kali Kul, can you perform the vidhan of Kurukulla by the method we have given? By the vidhi given in my parampara, can you carry out the whole vidhi vidhan of the mantras and the rest that fall under Shri Vidya? This knowledge should be there for prayoga, he says — one ought at least to know who a thing is for, and how it could possibly be made public.
