Being a student at IIT Guwahati and being able to visit the temple multiple times is such a great boon in itself

Maa kamakhya temple is one of the most popular powerful SHAKTI PEETH thats why !!! 1:34

Mahāmāhēśvara Abhinavagupta deals with paśu bali in his Tantrālōka.

Jayaratha raises the question concerning the position of the sheep that is to be slaughtered.

‘Now we have accepted that paśu yāga (animal sacrifice) on this occasion is divine, but still, to cut the throat of a paśu on that occasion is always disliked by the sheep. He will not like it since cutting his throat is not a joke’.

To this objection, Abhinavagupta puts forth this answer:

‘This is great blessing and great help that you cut his throat on this occasion. This is a great service to this paśu. No matter if he will not like it at the time of slaughtering, it will not be appreciated by that sheep’.

To clarify, Abhinavagupta gives the following example. When you are overwhelmed with some peculiar disease, the doctor prescribes a mixture and fasting; but fasting you don’t appreciate, mixture also you don’t appreciate because it is not sweet, it is sour. But this is a great service to that diseased being. So this is a kind of drug we are giving the sheep, and this drug is a terrible mixture for getting rid of the disease of rebirths – birth and death, birth and death, in continuity.’

Jayaratha then raises the following objection:

“If it is true that by cutting his throat he will be liberated, then what is the purpose, what is the sense, what is the meaning in initiation then? You just cut his throat and he will be liberated. Why undergo all these cycles of procedures of rituals, just cut his throat and he will be liberated’.

In answer to this objection, Abhinavagupta quotes from the śāstras:

‘In Mṛtyuñjaya Tantra (Netra Tantra), in the section of pāśaccheda it is said by Lord Shiva – when you cut the bindings of an individual to liberate him from repeated births and deaths, at that precious moment, āṇava, māyīya and kārma malas are also removed along with his body. So, he will not come into this wretched cycle of existence again, he will not be born again – because when both good and bad karma are exhausted, then there is no question of birth again. So this is not slaughtering the sheep, we are initiating the sheep, this is one way of dīkṣā.

Proud to be Bengali Shakta...Joy Maa Tara 🙏🏼

Love this man ..need to learn abt shiv sadhana being a mahadev bhakt

People from erstwhile East Bengal, present day Bangladesh are very much aware about the injunctions of balividhan in Shakta texts. Our Kuladevis of that region used to be offered Bali regularly in Ashwin Durga Pujo of goats and buffalo. They have a much nuanced and expanded perspective on the subject of pashu bali. Learn from them. They are more rooted to Shakta shastras

Just basically it's difficult to fully understand Sanatan dharma, or can say next to impossible. It will make u question ur ideas, beliefs, what's right n wrong, but in the end there'll still be more to be discovered. It's something almost beyond human capacity to comprehend, hence just flow in, just mix in it.

9:42 that's actually "Ash gourd".

Joi Maa Tara.

For all those who are placing sentiment and namby pamby emotions above scripture , here are one of the two greatest seers, Ramanujacharya and Madhavacharya have to say about Bali Vidhan.

here is what Ramanujacharya says in the Sri Bhashya, his commentary on the Brahma Sutras:
it is not so, on account of scriptural statement. For Scripture declares that the killing of sacrificial animals makes them to go up to the heavenly world, and therefore is not of the nature of harm. This is declared in the text, 'The animal killed at the sacrifice having assumed a divine body goes to the heavenly world'; 'with a golden body it ascends to the heavenly world.' An action which is the means of supreme exaltation is not of the nature of harm, even if it involves some little pain; it rather is of beneficial nature.--With this the mantra also agrees: 'Thou dost not die, thou goest to the gods on easy paths; where virtuous men go, not evil-doers, there the divine Savitri may lead thee.' An act which has a healing tendency, although it may cause a transitory pain, men of insight declare to be preservative and beneficial.

And here's what Madhvacharya says in this excerpt from his Dvaita commentary on the Brahma Sutras:
It may be said that sacrificial work involves injury to life, and as such it is productive of sin and consequently of misery, and that, therefore, it is not to be performed. But this objection is to be refuted on the ground that the injury to life involved in holy duties is permitted by the word (scripture); for the Varahapurana says, "To do harm to any life except as enjoined by scripture is really productive of sin and evil consequences; on the other hand, no evil consequences possibly arise from the act of killing permitted by the Vedas."
