About the Work
This e-book presents the authoritative translation and interpretation of Śrī Kāvyakaṇṭha Vasiṣṭha Śrī Gaṇapati Muni’s Prachanda Chaṇḍikā Mahāvidyā Sūtras, revealed during his tapas and visionary experiences. It is the sixth Mahāvidyā in the great cycle of ten, and it deals with the terrifyingly luminous form of the Divine Mother known in Tantra as Chinnamastā.
For the first time, seekers are given access to the true story of Renukā, revealed by Śrī Gaṇapati Muni at Padaivedu Kṣetra, which corrects the distorted Purāṇic myths and restores the original Vedic meaning of this Mahāvidyā.
Salient Features
Authentic Translation: Based directly on the Sanskrit sūtras of Śrī Gaṇapati Muni.
True Story of Renukā: Unveils the hidden history behind Renukā–Jamadagni–Paraśurāma–Kārtavīryārjuna, showing the descent of Paraśu Śakti and Chinnamastā Śakti.
Vedantic Foundation: Demonstrates how Prachanda Chaṇḍikā is rooted in the Vedas (Ṛgveda references such as 7.32.3) and not merely a Kaula-tantric imagination.
Bhāva-Śuddhi Emphasis: Stresses the importance of pure understanding (bhāva śuddhi) for successful Mahāvidyā upāsanā.
Bridge of Veda and Tantra: Interprets Prachanda Chaṇḍikā as Kuṇḍalinī in adhyātma, Devayāna in adhiloka, and Indrāṇī in adhidevata, showing unity of yogic and Vedic systems.
Muni’s Authority: Draws from the direct tapas-experience of Śrī Gaṇapati Muni, who attained kapāla-bhedana siddhi and lived for more than 13 years in that state to reveal the true significance of Chinnamastā Tattva.
Practical Guidance: Explains śuddhopāsanā methods, mantras (Ekādaśākṣarī and Saptadaśākṣarī), nyāsas, mudrās, and meditative forms given by Muni.
Significance
This is not just a text to be read, but a doorway to practice and realization. The e-book reformulates the seeker’s understanding of Chinnamastā—away from superstition, fear, and dogma—and reveals her as Mūla Prajñā, the Pure Consciousness that annihilates ego and restores the true Self.
For the modern seeker, it offers a Vedic model of personality development, showing how to break inner knots of ahaṁkāra and abhimāna, leading to liberation.
