Who made Tantra accessible to everyone, and who is eligible for Vedic versus Tantrik Sandhya?
Lord Shiva made Tantra accessible to all; per the Varnashrama framework, those not eligible for Vedic Sandhya or the Yajnopavita are directed to take Tantrik initiation and perform Tantrik Sandhya instead, and per the Parvati Gita, anyone may take initiation into any of the Ten Mahavidyas and attain liberation.
The Gitas affirm divinity in both form and formless, so a beginner should not abandon image worship on Vedanta arguments
A beginner should not be swayed by arguments that God is formless and image worship invalid just because the Vedas are silent on Prana Pratishtha — across scriptures the Supreme Power affirms divinity in both form and formless aspects, and concepts like Dvaita and Advaita are grasped gradually as sadhana matures, not adopted prematurely to dismiss ritual practice.
What does the Parvati Gita say about the jiva in the womb?
He says the Garbha Gita — the Shri Parvati Gita — describes that when the jivatma is in the mother's womb, in the sixth and seventh month it obtains awareness of all its previous births. Suffering there, it makes stuti to Bhagavati, to its aradhya, praying that when it takes birth this time it will certainly do her upasana and not let the birth go waste, asking only to be freed from this suffering — for the greatest suffering in the world, he says, is the suffering of the mother's womb, where the jiva hangs upside down and endures it.
Is reading the Devi Gita enough?
No. He says to do manan on it — merely reading it, doing paath of it, will accomplish nothing. Assimilate the message that has been attempted there, and then there will be some benefit. Its phalashruti, that Bhagavati Durga gives darshan within one year, comes about then; not if you only keep reading and do no manan or chintan on it and make no effort to walk by it.
Is the union described among the devatas the same as maithuni srishti?
No. The speaker says plainly that whatever one reads of the divine devatas concerning love for one another is sanketik — symbolic — and their srishti is not a maithuni srishti. Maithuni srishti is being brought into being only now, and it is for the sake of human beings. This, he says, is why it is told to hear, read and know these things in the presence of a guru; Bhagavati explains it very well in the Parvati Gita, and those deluded by maya level accusations against the devatas because they do not understand it.
A relative who died last year and is not yet joined to the ancestors may be named for recitations, though Pind is a separate matter
For recitation his name may be written; Pind Daan is a separate matter. There is no difficulty in including him in the Bhagavad Gita, Parvati Gita or Sahasranama recitations.
What does the first chapter of the Parvati Gita show about this?
If you have recited the Parvati Gita, the speaker says, see what happens in its very first chapter. This is Satya Yuga, the beginning of the srishti: Jagadamba is in the form of a small girl, and when she learned that Bhagavati had manifested to Raja Himavan with eight arms and three eyes, she prayed and requested to see that divine form. Bhagavati first gave her divya drishti, gave her the capacity to see that divine form. Then she gave darshan of herself as the shakti of Shiva, then as the Narayani or Vaishnavi shakti, then as the Brahmani shakti, and then in her own root form — and then came back as the girl.
What does the Parvati Gita say about the shortness of time?
In the Parvati Gita Bhagavati says that life is momentary — like a drop of water, a dew-drop, upon a leaf. When it will slip and go down will not even be known. The leaf is time and the drop upon it is us; we may slip at any moment.
Why does the midnight of Maha Ashtami matter so much?
Because in many Phalashrutis you will read that one who recites at that time — in the middle of the night of Maha Ashtami in the Sharadiya Navratri — has Bhagavati greatly pleased with him. Look at Baglamukhi's Kavach, at her five Anga Vidyas, at Lalitamba's; and the Devi Gita and the Parvati Gita say the same.
The main recitation and japa of that night begins at about eleven and is completed by one or half past one
On Monday the 29th of September, at night, begin your main recitation and japa at about eleven o'clock, and complete it by one or half past one at night. Whether the Parvati Gita, the Devi Gita, whatever mantra Anushthan you are performing, a Kavach, the Saptashati — do it.
What does the Parvati Gita say about who may do the Mahavidyas?
The speaker says that by saying such things — that so-and-so people say, that knowledgeable people say this sadhana cannot be done — they have created a confusion in people's minds that the sadhana of this Mahavidya cannot happen. See the reference, he says: in the Parvati Gita Bhagavati has said that you may take diksha of any one among the ten Mahavidyas and do it. So have those who are saying that you cannot do the sadhana of Dhumavati, that you cannot do the sadhana of Chhinnamastika, become greater than Parvati ji? It is absolutely not so. They are confusing you so that you may not be able to do sadhana, so that shakti may not be obtained by you, so that you may not become knowledgeable. They want to rule over you — that is why they are forbidding you this sadhana.
Which kavach can a pregnant woman recite for the protection of the child?
The whole subject connected with the garbha is on the channel, the speaker says — he will share it again, there are three videos. In them the whole vidhan is told, of what should be done in which month. It is a simple subject, not very extensive or intricate, because in it there is more rest from after the third month. So listen to that vidhan once. Subjects related to the Parvati Gita have also been placed in it. So do that — and catch hold of the Kamakhya Kavach.
The last shlokas of the third adhyaya of the Parvati Gita set this out
If you are a devi bhakta, he says, then read it in the Parvati Gita. Of the five adhyayas in the Parvati Gita, read the last four or five shlokas of the third adhyaya. What is the subject written in it? You will understand where the difficulty lies.
Where can the Parvati Gita be obtained?
He tells the listener Girija that the Parvati Gita has already been put into the group, and that now all the PDF can be found online too.
Why does Krishna not act against those who malign him?
Krishna will do nothing, the speaker answers; Krishna is himself the one they call Ranchhod, and the Kaliyug is running. What is impossible for God? He can do it whenever he wishes, but he is enjoying the leela — and we and you should enjoy the leela with him.
What path is prescribed in Kartik for pitrs who are stuck?
In the month of Kartik, taking a sankalp for them, do path of the eleventh adhyaya of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita, or path of the Shri Parvati Gita if you are especially a Bhagwati bhakta; or do the gita and the sahasranama of whoever you are a bhakta of, or the Shri Vishnu Sahasranama, with the sankalp that their gati be accomplished — along with the akash deep.
Were Krishna and Subhadra born in the ordinary human way?
Did Bhagavan Shri Krishna take birth like an ordinary man, he asks — you have all seen the Krishna leela; he did not take birth. And Bhagavati Subhadra, his sister, was she born? A presence in the garbha is shown and depicted, and his manifestation is a very different thing. They came into the garbha, but no one is being produced from the garbha. Nowhere, he says, has any shakti's mother had labour pain here.
When does a jiva come to know of its past births?
For that, the speaker says, go to the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, and then read the Parvati Gita: it will be written there that when the jiva is in the mother's womb, all the gati of all its previous births comes into its remembrance, all of it stays in its memory — how many times it took birth — and there it performs the garbha stuti, saying that we took birth so many times and our condition was such, we did such and such wrong deeds, this time we will not do so, this time we will do the aradhana of Bhagavati. This happens particularly when a person comes into a human womb.
