Your high value, substantially informative videos have been appreciated by me for a number of months. I take notes, keep files, and review as if it were a class. Even though accustomed by now to the exceptional standard of this series, I was still surprised by the level of this Kali Kula video. I heard a number of things, quite meaningful things, for the first time, including perspectives on the name and nature of Kali, as well as how to distinguish her major forms. Also, you confirm that tantra extends far beyond its valuable and better known auxiliary practices in the service of health, practical insight, and serenity. Furthermore, you make it clear to people like myself that the practice of tantra is of a different order from the religion of sacred study and the (relatively less formalized) devotional attention to select deities. It is increasingly clear to me what would be involved in tantric pursuits-the level of determination; the temperament to submit oneself--almost always non-negotiably--to a prolonged and demanding practice of precise yogic procedures; and (last but certainly not least) profound faith in the mantrika deity that progressively manifests as the sadhana succeeds…. Clearly I’m unqualified for all that, but still I’m attracted to information on Tantra. I am keen, very keen, to hear about the nature of Hindu deities, and the people in contact with Hindu deities, and the methodology of people in contact with Hindu deities. Not the whole integral tantrik program, but certain aspects of it would be safely applicable to persons like myself. Therefore, a big THANK YOU, Vishwa, for the savvy and energized knowledge you share.
You summarize everything so beautiful, I have no words for it Thank you so much for appreciating it, that makes me feel that my work reached to minds and hearts who are open to hear it 🙏
Ma Kali is like a black hole, I experienced that form of her. I felt as if there was a black hole in my belly button and Kali was pulling me into a huge fire of a black hole. She was terrifying but also peaceful
Namaste 🙏 Respected Sir, I also am a Shakta Devotee from USA. I appreciate this so much. Dear Sir, can you share the titles of some of the books you have on your bookshelf if they pertain to Shaktism/Shaivism, I'd be so grateful if there is something there I should also have. Thank you so much 🕉️ 🪷🙏🪷 🪷🙏🪷
On that bookshelf, majority of them are on yoga and some are on Tantra, but I have done a video on tantric text and listed the text names, many of my tantra books are now in digital form so that you can easily carry wherever and whenever you need it.
Guruji can you tell about master or lineage of kalikula tradition that are present currently. For eg in sri kula you said about lineage of swami rama and living master om swami . Can you tell any living guru of kalikula tradition?
I find this all very interesting. I am not nearly as familiar with Hindu Tantra as I am with Buddhist (Raja Yoga?) and Tibetan practices (like Dzogchen), as well as Gnosticism (which bear a lot of similarities). I do know I have achieved some deep meditative states while playing guitar. I am curious to know if there are any traditional yogic/meditation practices that involve playing an instrument ?
Simple answer is Yes Music can be used for Meditation. Meditation is not only sitting and closing eyes as presented in picture. The real masters are in meditative state even they are doing regular activity of life. In reality each of us go into initial meditation stage called Dharana or concentration every day even for few seconds when we are deeply concentrated into into something, we are just not aware of that state. But when you are awareness you are in meditative state.
I'm interested in what you said about a person choosing a form of kali that fits their character or personality. How to know which is right for you? For example I'm very attracted to the wrathful forms of Kali. They inspire in me a strong feeling of devotion, surrender and feeling of shakti. The more terrifying and fearful she is the more I feel inspired to surrender my ego. Otherwise surrender and devotion is something very difficult for me.
🙏vishwa ji. Would you please tell in which text is the hymn PANCHASTAWI written. This is the hymn commonly recited by kashmiri pandits for invoking Shakti in Somya roopa.
Thanks for your question. PANCHASTAWI is a text in itself, devoted to the most beautiful Goddess Tripura Sundari. It consists of five chapters, each chapter has roughly between 20-40 verses. It is considered like a sister text of Saundarya Lahiri.
I know that Sri Vidya is the worship of Devi, can you please clarify if Kali Vidya is same as Devi worship, or is there difference that they are different ' cult's ' of Goddess worship???
Are you able to concentrate upon any form of devi or are you able to create the exactly the same form which is mentioned in scripture after closing the eyes in state of meditation...How long you are able to hold that particular form in front of your closed eyes???
@@VishwaYoga there are certain devis who comes under srikula and kali kula, my doubt is On what kula does devi varahi comes under? Srikula or kali kula?
Sir, In haunted movie it is shown that when person is possessed by a spirit than external spirit start working/playing through his/her body...Is it same as you said when a living diety start living in a person than action, thought, emotion is governed by that diety..Does the diety(tamas/rajas/sattva) will behave according to their nature or as per nature/desire of person??
@@VishwaYoga There are some people who start behaving sometime like a mad during the period of shakta worship...in most case woman start behaving like Mataji has came on their body...This can be commonly found in rural region...People say that Mataji has came on their body...people start worshiping that particular woman and provide them blood, flesh and food to eat and drink and clothes is offered to woman who show altered state of personality...Is it possible can Mataji can come on body of Sadhaka?
There is a famous practices of Karnpisachani...In which diety speaks to the ear of sadhaka...So my questions is does Karnpisachani start living with sadhaka or Karnpisachani comes when she is called to come to tell something about past
Being honest..... I wasn't completely able to understand..... what you said......
But I've hope Maa kali will help me understand everything....🌺

Question of choosing comes when you are not sure or have doubt but you already said where your heart or attraction is
I feel the same way 🙏🏾
Where to read these texts.

Pls watch my other video TF05 on Shakta Tantra, you may get the answer of your question. Thank you 🙏
💖💕🙏
💞💖🙏
Are you able to concentrate upon any form of devi or are you able to create the exactly the same form which is mentioned in scripture after closing the eyes in state of meditation...How long you are able to hold that particular form in front of your closed eyes???
Yes as long as stay with deep feelings or Bhavana during that time.
Guru one doubt? Varahi comes under what category? Sri or kali kula?
I am not clear about your question
@@VishwaYoga there are certain devis who comes under srikula and kali kula, my doubt is On what kula does devi varahi comes under? Srikula or kali kula?
Ok, Devi Varahi is connected to Devi Tara, thus she comes under Kali Kula.
@@VishwaYoga thanks guru naatha🙏
Sir plz answer my question is saktism a subset of shaivaism or it has came from shaivism ..🙏
Pls see the answer in Devi Kula video
Sir, In haunted movie it is shown that when person is possessed by a spirit than external spirit start working/playing through his/her body...Is it same as you said when a living diety start living in a person than action, thought, emotion is governed by that diety..Does the diety(tamas/rajas/sattva) will behave according to their nature or as per nature/desire of person??
No, that was not what I meant.
@@VishwaYoga There are some people who start behaving sometime like a mad during the period of shakta worship...in most case woman start behaving like Mataji has came on their body...This can be commonly found in rural region...People say that Mataji has came on their body...people start worshiping that particular woman and provide them blood, flesh and food to eat and drink and clothes is offered to woman who show altered state of personality...Is it possible can Mataji can come on body of Sadhaka?

I know what masters have told about such practices. But I have not done any of such practices so I would rather not comment on it.
Isn't Dakṣinā Kālī Trigunatmika Trigunatita
Can we take kali kula deeksa as a householder
Yes you can
