How To Start Your Daily Tāntrik Pūjā Practice

This is rather foundational discussion about the role of pūjā (ceremonial worship) in spiritual life in the modern age. As you know, the Tāntrik tradition is above all, when we consider the primary sources, about rituals and ceremonies. Now, these can often be very intimidating to learn given their technical and often elaborate nature. And this is especially a problem when you love pūjā but don't have the time and/or inclination to get all the materials and worship for 5 or 6 hours at a time, every single day! What then can you cut out in order to create your own personalized practice that makes sense for you? Is it even okay to personalize and customize the rituals presented in the texts? And if so, how do we make executive decisions like this at all on our own without compromising the efficacy of the complete system with our own idiosyncratic editing?

We also have a cool discussion in the beginning about how pūjā is the perfect spiritual practice for the modern digital age. I also introduce you to some pretty esoteric Kaula deities: Ānanda Bhairava & Ānanda Bhairavi and their yāmala, which forms the third deity in the trinity: Samvit Devī or often just Vijayā or Suvijayā in some of the Kaula texts. Naturally, we point out the obvious purvāmnaya flavor in this presented of the devi-traya, trinity of Kula deities!

All of this will probably whet your appetite to learn pūjā. As such, here's a step by step, mantra by mantra pūjā tutorial using several paddhathis (ritual manuals), classical and modern without copious (some might even say, gratuitous) exegesis:
