Mantraśodhana, Dīkṣā-krama, Guru-Pādukā, Ajapā-Haṃsa, and Ṣaṭcakra-Kuṇḍalinī Sādhana
ततश्च गुरुपादाब्जगलितामृतधारया । क्षालितं निजमात्मानं निर्मलं भावयेत्सुधीः ॥ ६६ ॥
tataśca gurupādābjagalitāmṛtadhārayā | kṣālitaṃ nijamātmānaṃ nirmalaṃ bhāvayetsudhīḥ || 66 ||
Bấy giờ, nhờ dòng cam lộ tuôn từ đôi chân sen của bậc Guru, người trí hãy quán tưởng tự ngã của mình như đã được gột rửa, trở nên thanh tịnh hoàn toàn.
Sanatkumara (teaching Narada in a guru-disciple framework)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: bhakti
It teaches inner purification through Guru-centered contemplation—envisioning the mind and self as cleansed by the Guru’s grace, symbolized as “nectar” flowing from the Guru’s lotus-feet.
By placing the Guru’s lotus-feet at the center of practice, it frames purification and progress as arising from reverence, surrender, and grace—core elements of bhakti that culminate in inner clarity.
It emphasizes disciplined dhyāna/bhāvanā (structured contemplative practice) as a technical method for antahkaraṇa-śuddhi—supporting Vedanga-style training where precision of mental practice complements ritual and study.
