She is an engaging speaker, with deep knowledge on tantra, sadhana, shastras etc. Praveenji, pls let her speak without interruption, so she can truly share her knowledge. Its far deeper than the questions you seem to be asking. Please allow her to speak.
Thank for gently interupting to ask for clarification of terms for your audience-even though I am from the West I have better than avg understanding of terms but still need her to clarify. You channel is so so MUCH BETTER than "Beer Biceps??" stay humble and yes you allow your guests to speak.
First of all thanks for this wonderful podcast. I have read all the books of author Vinita Rashinkar ji . Even after purchasing many more books on Sri Vidya, my basic reference book remain her books. After reading her books one can make out she is exceptionally well read and knows her subject in depth.I bow to her in gratitude.
in that time a brahmin was simply one who could communicate with the stars and the reason why brahmin families technically had control was because although this divine knowledge was revealed to the rishis their descendents tried to hoard the divine knowledge hence they were punished and so tantra was born as a way to impart the same divine knowledge to everyone. At the end of the day all the fire sacrifices and vedic stotras come from the understanding of om bhur bhuva suvah which leads to the state of brahmalok or communion with the center of the sun unfortunately people misunderstood this but originally a real brahmin is one who through his sadhana, tapasya, and lifestyle attains a state of awareness that allows him to feel the earth, feel the planets, feel the stars not talking but hear the vibrations made by them and from those vibrations realize truths
Excellent explanation. She is so knowledgeable. Thanks so much both of you 🙏 We are indebted to you both to share this profound deep knowledge. Stay Blessed always 🙏🌹🙏
Vinita Ma'am is an epitome of knowledge. Feel blessed to listen to her. One may not be ready to understand everything quickly but, at the right time, it'll help us understand how our paths are visible to us now...
Thank you for bringing Vinitaji ..she explains our rich and vibrant past in the most simple terms. Look forward to more from Maam and the opportunity to read her books
Wow! You’ve expressed this complex topic in incredibly clear and concise way ma’m, making it easy for anyone to understand. Keep up the fantastic work. Looking forward for the next video in series 🙌✨
Thoroughly enjoyed this extremely informative podcast. The efforts taken by Praveen Ji to set the context and simplify the brilliant ideas put forth by Vinita Rashinkar Ji in such a lucid, logical manner, sharing her knowledge, is truly appreciated. I will be using this video as reference materials for some of my classes in the upcoming sessions.
I listened to second pod cast too. I request deeksha from you. I have theoretical understanding & preliminary practices in Ganesha tarpan & bala mantra. I am 72 yrs old. I have gone through your book mantra & tantra of Sri Vidya. Have been reciting thousand names of Maa Lalitha.Parnam at your feet Maa
Truly fantastic opening Praveen Ji, hearty congratulations to the first anniversary. May we continue our collective Svadhyaya through such enlightening conversations 🕉️😊🙏🏽 Hari Om
I learnt a lot in this interview...& want to know more about shri Vidya sadhana.. Kindly guide me... How to start with. I've started 3..4...malas of aim kleem souh japa everyday.. Kindly guide me
My god..please please dear host please don't talk so much..the guest could have shared much more if you hadn't kept on talking. Annoyed me beyond limits. And please do not add any animations or visuals to certain points. The audience can very well understand what it is without the visuals.
I am clarifying here on the statement from 13:50 onwards that the Brahmin did not create Tantrism. It existed before Vedic culture. Sri Vidya is only a culmination of Vaidika sampradaya and tantric practices.
When is the second part being released ? The only simplified explanation podcast on the internet today. Thank you Prana stories for getting Vinita ji. Will look forward to understanding many more facets of Sanatana.
Conversations are very interesting with clear explanation. I want to start srividya sadhana, but don't know-how to go about it... I've been recieting lalitha sahasranama, Trishati,Devi khadgamala, Soundarya lahary... Since 20...25 years.. Now I love to know more about shri Vidya & do I need guru for the initiation of shri Vidya. Kindly guide me 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Vidya and Avidya Tantra ( part III) Vidya and Avidya Tantra - - Now let us Let's analyse the six actions of Avidyá Tantra. One part of Avidyá Tantra is to kill or cause the death of someone through mantra or through some related technique or in some artificial way. This is called márańa. [Mára literally means “annihilation”.] Bringing somebody under oneʼs control by means of a mantra or a dravyaguńa [some plant or other natural substance which projects psychic effects], or by wearing a squirrelʼs tail like a ring on the little finger of the left hand and chanting the mantra hriiḿ kriiḿ klu, or by feeding that tail to a person in a chánci pán [a betel preparation], is known as vashiikarańa. But remember that this action must be accompanied by purashcarańa [raising the kuńd́alinii, the dormant force] as per Avidyá Tantric style. When under the influence of vashiikarańa, a person becomes completely controlled and behaves like a servant. Cat́ana or cát́ana means oneʼs residence. When somebody is uprooted from his or her residence by means of a mantra or some mystic power or some dravyaguńa, the process is called uccát́ana. It is said that if a particular mantra is written on a brick in red ink and buried under the northeast corner of a house by a naked person on a rainy night, the owner of that house becomes uprooted within three days. This process may or may not fructify, but if it actually does the effect is disastrous. Keeping this fact in mind, I have deliberately refrained from giving the mantra in this book. To get someone to do something by hypnotizing the person with light waves or by fixing oneʼs gaze on him or by breaking or overpowering his personality is called sammohana. In English this process is called hypnotism. The [European] physician Dr. Mesmer did some research on this method to find out if this process could be utilized for the benefit of the public; hence this process is also known as “mesmerism”. Stopping the flow or movement of something is called stambhana. Stambha means “pillar”. Since any moving thing will be stopped when it hits a pillar, stopping the movement of something by means of a mantra and some dravyaguńa is called stambhana. By using some mantra and holding under the tongue a kánt́ánat́e root fitted into a silver ring (like a hub circled by its wheel), one can stop another personʼs movement or action. Suppose someone is about to urinate. The flow of urine is stopped. In the science of áyurveda, the medical condition of constricted urination is known as mútrastambha [just as this Avidyá practice is known as mútrastambha]. Vákstambha [stopping the flow of another personʼs voice] is a similar Avidyá Tantric practice. But the Avidyá Tantric should be cautious about trying to maintain the stambhana for a long time, because it requires him or her to remain in an abnormal condition [sometimes physiologically abnormal], which will eventually harm the person. The shántikarma of Avidyá Tantra means to save someone from a danger or a disease by means of certain rituals, and then redirect that danger or disease towards another person: that is, to help one person to survive by killing another. When the Kálacakrayána and Vajrayána Tantras of the Buddhist school of philosophy were popular in Bengal, these six actions of Avidyá Tantra were widely practised. But when the Kálacakrayána and Vajrayána vanished from Bengal, the six actions also fell out of use. And the six actions of Vidyá Tantra fell out of use simultaneously. It is good that the actions of both have been forgotten by people. What is desirable is that people move towards spiritual elevation along the paths of jiṋána, karma, and bhakti(2) with a healthy and rational outlook.
@SriVidyaSadhana808 - As a fellow Tantra practitioner I would like to suggest that researchers into Shaeva Tantra and it's realtionship with Sri Vidya pls refer to these following commentaries by renowned Tantra Guru, Shrii Shrii Anandamurtiji who is an authority in Gaodiya and Kashmiri Tantra history and it's evolution - Discourses on Tantra Vol 1 and 2, Namah Shivaya Shantaya. I do not wish to use this platform to advertise these books. Those who have interest may send me a private message.I shall give the info regarding these books.
Requesting to please remove the visuals you have at the very start talking about yantra in west. I would like to share this podcast with my family (after you remove those clips)
How about women sages like Lopamudra, Arundathi. They were allowed to study and do Vedic practices. I have to disagree with her views on brahminism…ill-informed
