BHAGWAN RUDRA

Once war happened between gods and demons, demons won over gods .Gods had to leave their place,Amaravati puri.They requested their father maharshi Kashyap to protect them.Shiv bhakt Kashyap did sadhana of lord shiva ,installing shiv ling on river side.After long tapasya,Shiva came pratyaksh before kashyap and he got boon from shiva that He himself will take birth as son of Kashyap and protect the devas.

Gods became extremely happy when Shiva took birth in Surabhi's womb (wife of kashyap) as eka dash (eleven) rudras.These rudras were very powerful and brave.Rudras defeated demons in war and gods regained their kingdom and positions and lived life fearless.

As per Shiv puran ,the names of eleven rudras are

Kapaali                      Pingal                       bheem
Virupaaksh               Vilohith                     shaastha
Ajpaad                      Ahir budhanya         shambu
chand                        bhav

Lord Shiva's eleven rudras protects all the creation in nature even today.The ten Indriyaas and mind together constitute the eleven rudras in a human being. Crores of rudras as their anuchaaris are present in the three worlds.Bhagwan rudra's rudraaksh is extremely pleasing for all gods.

SAPTA MATRIKA POOJAN SADHANA

Shashti devi is the adhishtatri for children,also called Vishnumaaya and baalada. She is famous among matrikas as devasena.She is the wife of swami kathikeya. She is worshipped in the form of Sapt matrikas,seven mothers -

Demons Shumbh and Nishumbh were killed by Sapta matrikas.Shumb's son durgam took form of a crow and escaped ,because sapt matrikas felt affection towards the son of their enemy.

KAAMAKHYA DEVI

Our Puranas have story of Lord Shiva turning Kamadev's body into ashes from the fire of his third eye.Afterwards, according to request from Rati and Kaamdev to Mahadev, He ordered them to do worship of Kaamakhya devi at kaamroop pradesh.And this place,where kaamdev got back his body is kamaroop.

Kaamakhya peeth in Nilanchal hills in assam is the Shakti peeth of devi .Sati devi's yoni (shrishti srijak ang) fell at this place and here devi is worshipped to fulfill all desires. Kaam (kriya) + Aksh (eyes) which means kriya siddhi and sammohan siddhi is 

obtained from her.Grihasth,yogi,yeti,sanyaasi,woman,man,kaulaachari,vaamachari,dakshinmaargi,vaammargi, everybody does Kaamakhya sadhana.

Gupt tantra mentions Kaamakhya is sarva vidhya svaroopini,sarva siddhi pradaatri shakti and one who neglects kaamakhya cannot enjoy his life.Kaul kalpa taru says that even gods,demons,gandharva,kinnar,apsaras all are attracted by kaamakhya sadhana.Stambhan,mohan,draavan,traasan,vidveshan,uchaatan and complete vashikaran are possible by this sadhana.Stambhan of Agni,Soorya,Vaayu and Jal can be done by sadhak of kaamakhya.

One who removes ras tatva in life and only aims at moksha bhaav cannot get siddhi in life.Sadhana for living life fully is kaamakhya sadhana.Kaamakhya tantra gives completeness in life.

Kaamakhya sadhana gives siddhi of three devis - Tripura sundari, Matangi and Kamala ,since Kaamakhya devi is the combined form of these three Mahavidyas.House holder wishes to get siddhi of Matangi and Kamala, while Sanyaasi wishes for Kundalini jaagran siddhi by doing Tripur sundari sadhana. Kaamakhya is one and only one devi,whose sadhana is performed by sadhu-sanyaasi,grihasth,young men and women,all alike.

CHAATUR MAAS FOR SANYAASI

In Hindu dharma, Sanyaasi should not stay for long at one place. Sanyaasi is a wandering monk and he or she should distribute knowledge among people in the society. Politicians should remain in touch with people,similarly Sanyaasi should be connected with people in society for giving them wisdom.

Thus, Sanyaasi finds difficult concentrating on his own sadhanas,since he roams around everywhere. So shastras say that sanyaasis and gurus should do sadhana during Chaatur-maas time in a year,by settling down at one place. Chatur-maas is rainy time and they should settle at one place and perform sadhanas. Lord Vishnu enters sleep during this period and Devi sadhanas like dhumavati sadhana are fast acting during chaatur-maas.

Basic siddhantha in sanyaas ashram is ahimsa. Not causing physical,mental and ideological himsa to others is ahimsa.Even during times of Mahavir and Buddha ,sanyaasi took food as bhiksha from houses.Sanyaas life aims at ending false pride in human being.Sanyaasi should not unnecessarily pluck flowers,fruit or destroy trees. Infact for sadhus,fire is also varjit or avoidable.Initially chaatur maas was four months as its name indicates,but later it was converted into two months,where sanyaasis do sadhana. 

Sanyaasi ,instead of depending on fate,gives importance to Karma siddhantha of Gita.Hence he distributes the knowledge he earns from his guru to all the needy in the society.He keeps dand in his hands since he protects vedas.This reminds him constantly that his duty is to protect the Vedas.Sanyaasis does constant mantra chanting,pooja,dhyaan during chatur maas and in Kaarthik month they again start roaming in the world.Gurudev Shrimaliji has stressed on manasik sanyaas even while remaining in this world as grihastha.

Grihasth person can also understand basic siddhanth of chaatur-maas and do sadhana aradhana during this period.Ahimsa means making oneself strong and not causing problems to others.
