Anugraha
Namaste Friends,
In a recent thread, some references to the descent of anugraha was made as below.
During diksha the guru will perform kriyas which differ depending on the shisya and the diksha, that if successful performend,will lead to other stronger symptoms
of the descent of anugraha shakti, if these do not occur the shisya will be taught only simple tasks
This descent of power is classified into stages of intensity,-----
Can we have more elaboration on this please?
Also, the following was mentioned:

Can we have some one who has knowledge of the subject explain the Kaula view point (if possible, without referencing any other darshana in a poorer light) as to why the world, which is stated to be identical to Brahman, requires removal of ignorance at all?
From MahaHrada to atanu
And i ask you do you sincerely think the average person can profit from mixing two oppositte paths according to his liking?
It was already answered by Devotee that understanding the general principles and the commonality between all paths will do no harm, especially, if the intention is not to downgrade the other faiths. But to proceed in a particular line Guru's guidance is absolutely essential.

I have tried to keep the questions and one answer academic, brushing aside all the provocations in the original post.
Om Namah Shivaya

That which is without letters (parts) is the Fourth, beyond apprehension through ordinary means, the cessation of the phenomenal world, the auspicious and the non-dual. Thus Om is certainly the Self. He who knows thus enters the Self by the Self.
