1. Amavasya Pooja:
- Amavasya is the new moon day in the lunar calendar, considered a powerful time for various spiritual practices and rituals.
- On Amavasya, many people perform Poojas (rituals) to honor ancestors (called Pitru Pooja or Shradh) and seek blessings to remove obstacles or negative energies. It’s also believed to be a potent time for Tantra and astrological remedies.
- Common Poojas performed on Amavasya include offerings to departed ancestors, prayers to deities like Maha Kali or Shiva, and rituals for prosperity and protection.
2. Tantrik Pooja:
- Tantrik Pooja refers to a form of worship rooted in the esoteric practices of Tantra. Tantra involves deep, mystical rituals that use mantras, yantras (geometric diagrams), and specific offerings to invoke deities and manipulate energies.
- Tantrik Poojas often aim at specific results such as protection from enemies, prosperity, health, and spiritual empowerment.
- These rituals can sometimes involve invoking powerful deities like Kali, Bhairava, or Chandi, and are often performed during auspicious times like Amavasya.
3. Satkriya:
- Satkriya refers to “six actions” or purificatory acts in Tantra and Yoga. In a tantric context, Satkriya can be associated with powerful rituals that involve mantras, offerings, and specific practices meant to achieve transformation or certain desired outcomes.
- These can include cleansing of the body, mind, and spiritual energies to enable better control over internal powers.
4. Kamban:
