DO NOT smell the flowers that you have set aside for offering the deities, as they will
become unfit for offering if smelled by anyone. Once you have brought them home from

s
the market, you can keep it in the fridge in a separate compartment if you intend to use it

the following day.
Please do not keep the flowers next to food/meat/alcoholic drinks in the fridge. The

tA
flowers must be wrapped and stored separately. They must be fresh and dewy.

Ta

Dashami, Pournima, Amavasya and on parva kaalas such as Holi, Akshay Tritiya,
Navaratri, Dussehra, Diwali, Ugadi, Chaitra Shukla Pratipada, any Friday or on a day when
ba

there is a full solar or lunar eclipse. If you are starting it on an eclipse day, the sadhana
m

must be started during the time of the eclipse. Best time to do Kamala Sadhana is either
early morning (3:00 AM - 6:30 AM) or in the evening after sunset or at night, after 10:00
bi

PM (between 10:00 PM-5:00 AM), so make your preparations in advance. Sit facing
a

EAST.
dr

27)You must maintain brahmacharya/celibacy throughout your sadhana. Eating satvik food
(no onions, no garlic) is recommended.
an

Eat a healthy nourishing meal and keep your stomach empty at least 1-2 hours before you
Ch

start your sadhana. Make sure you do not eat any gas-producing foods. Alcohol, porn,
masturbation and any form of sexual activity is forbidden during sadhana.
©

28) You must have a bath/shower and wear fresh clothes before you start your sadhana. In
the event of any disability or illness one can make do by washing the hands and face or by
taking a sponge bath with a wet cloth.

You can wear red upper garments for this sadhana. It is recommended to keep your
sadhana clothing separate from your regular clothes, and also wash them separately.
 5

Do not wear jeans, track pants, t-shirts and do sadhana. Wear a dhoti and upavastra, and
keep it washed and clean. Women can wear a sari. The rule in sadhana is to wear
UNSTITCHED cloth while doing the japa.

29) A lot of faith and discipline will be required. Sadhana will test your patience and
determination, so you must have the focus and strength of will to do what needs to be

s
done. You might experience feeling lazy and sleepy on some days, but you must be

rt
determined and not lose focus. Sadhana is meant for the brave.

tA
30)For women, Sadhana during your menstrual period is forbidden UNLESS otherwise
instructed by the Guru. If you happen to get your period in between the sadhana, you can

ul
stop for the 3-5 days of menstruation and then resume as usual. Do not touch any of your

cc
sadhana articles during this time, and if possible do not enter the sadhana room. If that’s
inevitable, then cover your chowki with a red cloth and do not go anywhere near it. On the

O
fifth day, when you are no longer bleeding, you must have a shower from head to toe

&
(wash your hair) and then you can resume your sadhana from where you left off until
completion.
r a
31) Nirmalya - Nirmalya is the overnight remains of the flowers, leaves and other offerings
made to a deity. These flowers and other articles of offering now become stale after the
nt
previous night’s puja/sadhana. Such flowers MUST NOT BE THROWN INTO THE
Ta

DUSTBIN/TRASH.

Nirmalya flowers must be collected and either disposed off at the root of a tree where
ba

people will not go and stamp their feet over it, or it can be put at the root of the Tulsi
m

plant, or you can dig a pit in the ground and put the nirmalya flowers in it (you must
make sure that people will not stamp it), or it can be collected and disposed off into
bi

flowing water or a river or pond or lake.

a
dr

Never throw it into the trash can along with the regular household trash. Nirmalya has
been worn by the Deity on the body, so it is charged with the Deity’s Chaitanya(energy). It
an

must be disposed of with utmost respect.

Japamāla & Sadhana Rules:

-Keep your japa bag very clean, do not let anyone touch or use your mala, keep it hidden
from view and avoid showing your mala to anybody.
-If the beads become cracked or chipped, you must replace your mala and get it
re-consecrated.

s
-Do not wear the mala on your body. Your mala must not be exposed while performing

rt
japa.

tA
-DO NOT disclose your mantra to anybody including your family members and spouse.
It must be kept secret at all costs.

ul
- On the same note, please DO NOT let anybody know among your relatives or
colleagues or friends that you are doing sadhana. Secrecy in sadhana is paramount to

cc
achieve success.
-Only use the middle/ring finger and the thumb of the right hand to touch and move the

O
beads with the mantra. The use of the index finger is prohibited as it represents
ahamkāra or ego.

&
-Do not hold the mala below the navel while doing the japa. Hold it near the heart or
above the navel. r a
-Pronounce the mantra clearly without any mistakes even if you are chanting silently. If
nt
you make a mistake, the mantra must be repeated.
-Observe silence and remove all external distractions during japa.
Ta

- Bhumi Shayana (sleeping on the floor on a kusha grass mat) is recommended during
sadhana.
ba

-Do not practice Japa hurriedly or carelessly. Do it mindfully with feeling and focus.
-Feel the power of the mantra purifying your heart, destroying your vices, removing
m

cravings, and making your mind become pure, steady and one-pointed.
bi

-If you sneeze, yawn, scratch or release gas during japa, this is considered as an
impurity. Keep a tumbler filled with water in front of you, and dip the fingers of the
a

right hand in the tumbler and apply it to your ears as if twisting them. You can resume
dr

your japa after this.

- If you need to get up in between the japa to use the bathroom to urinate, you must
an

perform purificatory rituals before resuming the japa. After you use the bathroom,
thoroughly wash your hands (upto the elbows), legs (from knees downward), neck,
Ch

mouth, face and crotch.

You will have to take a bath/shower if you have to pass stools as well. This is why we
recommend keeping an empty stomach at least 1-2 hours before you start your sadhana.
©

After you come back, you must perform steps 1 to 4 again (pavitrikarana, aachaman,
shikha bandhan and pranayam) as explained in the preliminary puja procedure. After
this, you can resume your japa.
-After completing your japa, take a few moments to sit quietly and feel the effects of the
meditation. Soak in the Divine Energy that has been created during the sadhana.
 7

- As much as possible, talk less during your sadhana days so as to keep the spiritual
vibrations intact. Do not engage too much in materialistic activities, social media and
worldly gossip. Do not attend parties and luncheons. Cook your own food or eat
home-cooked food as much as possible. Try to avoid eating food that is cooked outside.
- Sadhana is physically strenuous so please conserve your energy to the maximum
extent possible during the period of sadhana. Do not get into fights, arguments and
gossip as it will deplete all the energies that you have built up during the sadhana. Stay

s
away from worldly people as much as possible.

rt
- IMPORTANT: Shaving, trimming and cutting nails, tweaking and threading

tA
eyebrows, waxing, getting a massage, getting a haircut, getting a facial, going to the
spa/beauty parlor, going on a vacation in between, traveling and indulging in all
lower-chakra activities are forbidden during sadhana. Do not indulge in anything that

ul
will titillate the senses. You must maintain mental purity as much as possible.

cc
- During japa, the back-bone should be kept erect so that the spinal column remains
straight and there is no obstruction in the flow of Prana in the Sushumna.

O
-Lack of enthusiasm, dejection, sickness, delay in getting benefits immediately, feeling
distrust towards the guru/deity, frequent mispronouncing of the mantra, and other

&
worldly difficulties act as common obstacles in Sadhana. Ignore them, and you will keep
advancing on your way. Sadhana is like an internal battle. Your mind will do everything
r a
it can to distract you and play its tricks. You must stay firm and trust in your Guru and
deity. Then you will surely be protected and see success.
nt

🙏May your sadhana be fruitful.

Ta

May the Divine Grace of Devi Kamalatmika bless you with spiritual upliftment.

Please set up your chowki/raised platform as shown in the pic above. You must first
cover it with red cloth and then place the items as displayed in the pic. The ghee and
mustard oil lamp for the main deity of your sadhana must be placed upon a mound of
yellow akshata upon which you have drawn an eight-petaled lotus (you can use your
 9

fingers to draw upon the rice). Make another mound of akshata/red rice grains upon
which you will make another eight-petaled lotus. You must place the deity’s yantra
upon this mound of rice/akshatha.

Once you set up the chowki, you are NOT SUPPOSED to move it from its place until your

a
dr

There should be no slackness in maintaining cleanliness of the place and articles of worship.
Cleanliness of body and clothes is also essential. Japa is more useful if it is done in a fixed
an

number at a fixed time and place.

Keep your sadhana area very clean and fragrant as it is your sacred space where you are
Ch

going to connect with the Divine energies. And do not let anybody enter your sadhana room
as far as possible.

Have a bath before performing sadhana, wear the specified colored clothes for the sadhana
that is prescribed for you, use a red aasan, sit in the given direction (either north or east)

ul

cc
between.

O
To dispel any inauspicious influences (Bhuta Nivarana) chant oṃ astrāya phaṭ and strike
your left heel on the ground three times to dispel subtle beings from the earth as you enter

&
your sadhana room.

(5) Kamalātmikā Guided Meditation:

In this meditation, you must visualize that you are elevating your prāṇas from the
muladhara chakra (at the base of the spine) towards the sahasrara chakra (at the top of

s
rt
the head), and rotate them between all the chakras so that they get cleansed, activated
and energized.

tA
Sit comfortably and bring in a sense of calm around you. Breathe normally and slowly,
and observe the pace of your breath as you inhale and exhale. Do this normal-paced

ul
inhalation and exhalation ten times.

cc
Now slowly bring your focus upon your muladhara chakra at the base of the spine, near
the tailbone. Visualize the prāṇa shakti in the form of a divine ball of light at the

O
muladhara. Feel the warmth of this light. See it changing color from bright white to
warm red, which is the color of the muladhara chakra, with four petals.

&
r a
nt
Ta
ba

Muladhara chakra
Now visualize that you are activating this prana, and cleansing your muladhara chakra.
m

Imagine that the chakra is getting activated, it is vibrating, and the petals and opening
and closing with the vibrations.
bi

After this, move the prana shakti upwards to the swadhisthana chakra. Now do the same
a

exercise that you did in the muladhara. Imagine that the prāṇa shakti is lighting up this
dr

chakra with a bright orange hue, activating it and energizing it. See the petals of the
chakra open and close with the vibrations.
an
Ch
©

Swadhisthana chakra
Now move the prāṇa upwards to the Nabhi chakra, or Manipura chakra which is at the
centre of the navel. This also happens to be the center of all the 72,000 nadis in the body.
So here, visualize that your pranic energy is sent into all the 72,000 nadis and activate
 35

them. Imagine your body starts to glow with a bright yellow aura, and each and every
cell in the body is becoming energized and activated with this pranic energy.
Feel the energy of the chakra, and imagine that it is becoming cleansed and activated.

s
rt
tA
Manipura chakra

ul
Next, move up to the Anahata chakra or heart chakra. Move the prāṇa shakti into the

cc
anahata chakra and see it change color to a bright green, vibrate it, activate it, energize
it and see the petals open and close.

O
&
r a
nt
Ta

Anahata chakra
Now go upwards to the Vishuddhi chakra. Move the prana into the throat chakra, and
ba

see it change color to blue, vibrate it, activate it, energize it and see the petals open and
close.
m
a bi
dr
an
Ch

Vishuddha Chakra
Continue your journey upwards to the Ajna Chakra. This chakra has only two petals.
Once the prāṇa reaches here, move the prāṇa through each petal while you maintain
©

your focus completely on your third eye, which is between the eyebrows. Imagine that
your third eye is now activated and feel that this chakra is brightly lit and there is a
dazzling white luminescent light emanating from it. After you move the pranic energy
through both the petals of this chakra, then go upwards to the Sahasrara chakra.
 36

Ajna Chakra

s
The sahasrara chakra is the highest chakra and as you reach up here, feel the bliss and

rt
warmth emanating from this chakra. Feel you are enveloped in this light and maintain

tA
your focus here for about 20-30 seconds. Feel the chakra being activated, cleansed and
energized.

ul
cc
O
&
r a
nt
Sahasrara Chakra
After this, you will begin the downward movement of prāṇa, from the sahasrara down to
Ta

the ajna, vishuddhi, anahata, manipura, swadhisthana and all the way back to the
muladhara. Repeat the same cycle of activating, cleansing and energizing each chakra as
ba

you move downwards.

Do this for 15-20 mins, whichever is comfortable for you.
m

Once your prāṇa reaches back to the muladhara chakra, and you see the chakra brightly
bi

lit and vibrating, take a deep breath, do the ashwini mudra i.e. squeezing of sphincter
muscles, say the Hūṁ/हूँ bija mantra loudly and lift the kundalini through the sushumna
a

nadi, i.e. through the central vertebral column directly up to the sahasrara, and merge
dr

this kundalini with the brightness of the sahasrara, which is the Brahma Shakti or
Sacchidananda Brahma.
an

Rejoice in the bliss of union of kundalini with sahasrara for a couple of minutes. Slowly
bring the prana down to the Ajna Chakra, down to the Vishuddhi, then to the Anahata,
Ch

the Manipura and the Swadishtana. In the Swadishtana chakra project Goddess
Kamalātmikā out in front of you in the form of an Electric White Orb of light. (Devi is
vidyut kanti samaprabham, One who has the effulgence like that of lightning)
©

You can visualize Her the way she is shown in the Photo, and imagine that she is
burning away your bad karma, negativity, wiping out all the problems you are currently
facing in your life. Envision that with Her right hand abhay mudra she is blessing you
with all forms of opulence, money, wealth, prosperity, abundance, progeny, wisdom,
health, auspiciousness and success.
Now show the following mudras (see below) one by one in front of Goddess Kamala
 37

After showing the mudras, pray to her to fulfill whatever wish you have.
Imagine that Devi Kamalātmikā is blessing you with wish fulfillment.
Bow and take Her blessings, and pray for what you want from Her.
After this, you can wind up this meditation by absorbing Her into your Heart. Imagine
Her sitting on the lotus in the ‘hridaya sarovar’ (Lake of the Heart) of your heart. Do

s
your japa as you establish Her in the heart.

DO NOT MOVE or do visarjan of the KAMALA PHOTO or YANTRA. You can reuse the
same sadhana articles anytime you undertake to perform Kamalātmikā Sadhana in

future. On the contrary, if you do the Visarjana of the yantra and photo of Kamala, then
you cannot reuse the same articles again. It will have to be re-consecrated.

Visarjan is only of Guru, Ganesh and Bhairav. This will conclude your sadhana.

May all get success in their endeavors.
