Renuka's sadhana is to be given at Chhinnamasta Jayanti
A sadhak doing Bagalamukhi upasana asks how to do Chhinnamasta sadhana when his kul devi is Renuka in her Chhinnamasta svarup. The speaker says he will give Bhagavati Renuka's sadhana at the coming Chhinnamasta Jayanti — Vaishakh shukla paksha chaturdashi — describing Renuka-Ekvira as an upa-mahavidya counted among Bhagavati Chhinnamasta's presiding devis, and says he will give her mandal's puja vidhi as far as he is able.
Vairochana, Kabandha and Krodha Bhairava alongside Ganapati before Chhinnamasta — Bhairava carrying consciousness from the Muladhara to where Shakti unites with Shiva
Chhinnamasta's sequential sadhana requires three preliminary Bhairavas — Vairochana, Kabandha, and Krodha — alongside Ganapati sadhana, since every Mahavidya has Her corresponding Bhairava; Bhairava governs a practitioner's inner restraint, protection, and the elevation of consciousness from the Muladhara to the crown where Shakti unites with Shiva.
Which scriptures should be studied together for a correlated understanding of Tantra and the Puranas?
Mahakala Samhita should be paired with the Linga Mahapurana; the Mundamala Tantra with the Kalika Purana and Devi Bhagavata; the Yamala Tantras with relevant Vaishnava Puranas; and in Kubjika Tantra, the presiding manifest deity is associated with Devi Renuka, worshipped through Panchanga Vidya.
Can the Saptashati be recited all day in Navratri?
Asked whether, leaving aside the time for sleep, the Durga Saptashati path can be done for the rest of the time in Navratri: fix the number, brother. It is not the case that you keep doing continuous japa without a number.
Shiva's mala mantra, the Panchanana mantras or the Shiv Raksha Kavach may carry it, as may Virabhadra, Renuka, Sokha Baba or Banni Mata for whoever holds them as kula deities.
If the listener is making Bhagwan Shiva's prayoga — his mala mantra, or the mantras relating to his Panchanana swaroop if he has done their japa, or the Shiv Raksha Kavach — he may. Along with that, the subject of Bhagwan Virabhadra has been placed on the channel, and of Bhagavati Renuka; and those whose kula devi-devatas are Sokha Baba or Banni Mata may make their prayoga properly too.
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.
What connects the Lohit Kund with Parashuram?
On the Kailash parvat there is a kund named Lohit, where Parashuram ji went after the killing, since the dosha of the killing of Bhagavati Renuka had attached to him. Because the dosha had attached by lokachar even though he was Bhagavan, he went to that kund for its removal, and on bathing at the source of the Brahmaputra Nad he was freed of the dosha. It is then held that he made a way with his parashu, forming the Brahmaputra's path through the whole Kamrup region up to the sea.
What can be done for autism, ADHD or a learning disability?
By the speaker's reckoning, the best and fastest is the prescription of Bhagavati Renuka's Kavach — her manifestation, her glory and her whole prescription are on the channel. If you can have that Kavach performed, an auspicious effect is seen quickly, in mental difficulties of any kind.
