Is Dhumavati sadhana for a householder?
To Dheeraj Saxena ji he says he always says this thing: Dhumavati sadhana is not for a householder at all. Do we not say so — we always say, brother, that that thing is not to be done. It is the gift of the business gurus that in house after house such people do Dhumavati sadhana, Matangi sadhana and all of it. Matangi sadhana, up to a limit, is all right; but her other forms too — the sadhana of all those is not this. Bhagavati Tara's sadhana, Ugra Tara's sadhana — all these things are not for the house, brother; so how can we tell it in the house, how can we tell someone to do what simply cannot be?
Why did Rishi Vashishtha enter the field of tantra?
The speaker gives this as his standing pauranik example: Rishi Vashishtha, who was earlier on the Vedic marga alone, came down into the field of tantra for the sadhana of Bhagavati Ugratara, Tara, Ekjata and Bhagavati Kamarupa Kamakhya. The greatest reason behind his entering the tantric process was the tantric prayogas performed by Rishi Vishwamitra and the harm he suffered from them; he came into this field afterwards for the sake of pratikara.
Tara's name comes from a root meaning "to deliver"; she is worshipped in three forms by Hindu and Buddhist tantriks alike, with Tarapith her most famous seat.
Tara, whose name derives from a root meaning "to deliver" or "protect," is depicted in three main forms — Ekajata, Nilasaraswati, and Ugratara — and is worshipped by both Hindu and Buddhist tantric practitioners, with Tarapith in Bengal home to her most famous temple.
Whose shaap vimochan is done in the sadhana of Mahavidya Tara?
When the shaap mochan of Mahavidya Tara is performed, he says, it is not only Maharshi Vashishtha's curse that is released. When you perform the sequential sadhana of the three forms — Nila Saraswati, Ekjata and Ugra Tara — and go into the divisions of those forms, then, as with the Gayatri shaap vimochan or the Brahma, Vashishtha and Vishwamitra shaap vimochan and utkilan done by those who read the Saptashati, so here the utkilan and shaap vimochan of Maharshi Vashishtha together with Bhagavan Shri Krishna comes up.
