This is my liberal translation.

Having seated in Sukhasana Posture, one should visualize 1000-petelled lotus at
the Brahma Randhra amidst Sudha Sagar. Inside this lotus, one should visualize a
tender bud. Within this dwadasa padma is visualized with the bijas ha, sa, kha,
phrem, ha, sa , ksha, ma, la, va, ra, yam respectively. Within this padma, a triangle
is visualized. Each side is surrounded by A (ie., from a to ah); KA (ie., from ka to ta)
& THA (ie., from tha to sa). The three angles are presided by HA, LA, KSHA matrikas
respectively.
It is to be noted that the a-ka-tha sides are presided by vama, jyeshta & raudri
saktis respectively (vide reference Varivasya Rahasya of Shri Bhaskararaya Makhin).
Kali Vilasa Tantra gives wonderful exposition on a-ka-tha triangle that represent the
srishti, sthithi & pralaya presided by brahma, Vishnu & siva.
Now, amidst this triangle, a beautiful hamsapitha (manipitha) is visualized. In this
Manipitha, one's swa-guru shining with white lusture is visualized alongwith His
dharmapatni (gurupatni) with aruna (red) lusture. They are visualized in such a way
that both swa-guru & gurupatni are non-different from Kameshwara-Kameshwari.
After meditating one's guru in such a way, the 12 bijas mentioned in the 12 petals
should be visualized and uttered alongwith the diksha nama of guru & guru patni
which goes like this:
{certain bijas suffixed} sa ha kha phrem ha sa ksha ma la va ra yum hasakha
phrem {certain bijas prefixed}.diksha namas of gurupatni & gurunatha pujayami
namah
Kankala Malini Tantra extols this mantra and says that brahmarandhra is the Guru
Sthana and the Bud is the Antaratma Sthana.
Even Adinatha who is none other than Siva extols this Guru Sthana with 12 petalled
lotus as:
Brahmarandhram sarasIruhodarE nitya lagnamavadAtamadbhutam
kuNDalI vivarakANDamaNDitam dvAdashArNasarasIruham bhajE

Also, I posted "Guru Paduka Panjara Stotram" of Vamakeshwara Tantra long back
alongwith my liberal translation. Here it is:
////////////////////

SRIPADUKA PANJARA STOTRAM

brahmarandhrasarasIruhOdarE nityalagnamavadAtamadbhutam
kundalIkanakakAndamanditam dvAdashAntasarasIruham bhaje
Beneath the Brahmarandhra, shines amazing sahasrara padma which is also called
Akula Padma. In the middle of this Akula Padma, shines the Sushumna Nadi which is
of the mixture of dazzling white and golden yellow. In this sushumna Nadi, amidst
the Akula Padma, sports the Divine Couple Siva and Shakti in the form of HAMSA. I
contemplate on such Dwadashanta Kamala (Akula Padma).
Note: This sloka describes the position of Gurupaduka which is beneath the
Brahmarandhra amidst Sahasrara Kamala. Akula Padma at Sahasrara is called
Dwadashanta Padma because it is of 12th in number of count of chakras from
Muladhara. The order is : Kula Padma with 1000 petals, Ashtadala Padma, Shaddalala Padma, Muladhara, Svadhishtana, Manipura, Anahata, Vishuddha,
LambikAgra
Ashtadala Padma, Ajna Chakra, Sukla Sahasrara Padma, Akula Padma (Bindu
Sthana / Chandramandala).
Tasya kandaLitakarNikApuTE kliptavarNam a-k-thAdirEkhayA
kONalakshita ha-La-ksha mandalam bhAvalakshya manalAlayam bhajE
In the middle of Akula Padma, a YONI Chakra should be contemplated. This Yoni
Chakra is of the form of Urdhwa Trikona (Upward Triangle). Along the 3 sides of the
triangle a-varga, k-varga and tha-varga be placed. A-varga are the 16 vowels from a
to ah; k-varga are the consonants k to ta; tha-varga are the consonants tha to sa.
Along the 3 angles of the triangle, ha-la-ksha letters are placed. So, the entire
vowels and consonants in the form of 50 Matrikas are
placed along this Triangle. This ha is also represented with A; ksha with Ha and la
with AHAM. This is also the AHAM Swarupa. Such a Triangle is called YONI CHAKRA.
The Pair of Gurupadukas in the form of HAMSA are contemplated in the middle of
this Yoni Chakra.
Such a Yoni Chakra I meditate
Note: When Gurupaduka Diksha is given, the Sishya experiences his gurunatha as
the Adinatha rupa Hamsa at Akula Padma offering his helping hand to the Sishya in
the Sudhasagara. Thus, the gurunatha makes the sishya cross the samsara sagara.

In the YONI Chakra, shines the ManipITa Mandala. This Mandala sports with Bindu
and Nada which is of the form of CHIT. This is of the colour of mixture of Golden
Yellow and Lightening White.
Such Yoni Chakra alongwith Manipitha Mandala, I contemplate in my heart.
UrdhwamUlahutabhukchikhAruNam chidvilAsaparibr^mhaNAspadam
vishwaghasmaramahacchaTakulam bhAvayAmi yugamAdihamsayOh
I contemplate the homogeneous union of Divine Couple Siva-Sakthi who are called
Adi-Hamsa. This Hamsa is an aspect of Chitkala that shines as flames of fire without
origin and end (infinite and omnipresent) and capable of dissolving the entire
cosmos.
Note: This Adi-Hamsa is of the combination of Ha-kara, Bindu and Sa-kara. This is
the Ajapa Mantra. Ha (Siva)+O (Bindu)+Sa (Sakti) = Ha-m-Sa > Hamsa
tatra nAthacharaNAravindayOssamvidAmritajhurImarandayOh
dvandvamindumakarandashItalam mAnasam smaratu mangaLAspadam
I contemplate in my Mind such Divine Couple Siva-Sakti rupa Adi-Hamsa as the
DIVINE PAIR OF FEET OF GURUNATHA amidst Sahasrara Kamala which is as
nourishing, delightful, ecstatic and auspicious as the cool, nectar-like, delightful rays
of the Moon and is the form of Knowledge Absolute.

// Thus ends the gurupaduka panjara stotram which is from Vamakeshwara Tantra
/////////////////
Moreover, there is a wonderful Tantra Grandha called "SHAT CHAKRA NIRUPNA" by
Shri Purnanadanatha Yogi that details all the Chakras that also mentions this Guru
sthana at Brahmarandra.
Mahanirvana Tantra extols the Guru sthana as:
Shirah padme mahadevasthaiva paramo guruh
Tatsamo nasti deveshi pujyo hi bhuvanatraye
Tad amsham chintayet devi bahye guru chatushtayam

It says that Adinatha rupa Siva is the Guru who sports in Brahmarandra and one's
swa-guru, parama guru, parameshti guru are only a part of that Adinatha. So, it is
the Adinatha-rupa-Guru who is meditated in the guru's form.
Now, I mentioned about this mantra alongwith diksha nama ie., sa ha kha phrem ha
sa ksha ma la va ra yum hasakha phrem.. When I said "Visualisation" of 1000petalled Lotus / 12-petalled lotus / a-ka-tha triangle, it is NOT AN IMAGINARY
PICTURE FILLED WITH FANTASY. Upasaka CAN REALLY SEE THIS IN HIS SAHASRARA
CHAKRA. If the upasaka is ripe enough to "receive the grace of gurumandala", he
can really have the darshana of this adi-hamsa amidst manipitha. The gurumandala
is the most-compassionate group of gurus who are ever intent in uplifting their
disciples without caring for their liberation. That is why tantra sastra says:
guravO bahavah santi mantratantrArthagOcharAh
divyoghAschaiva siddhoughA mAnavoughA kramAdviduh
divyA vasanti khE nityam siddhA bhUmavihApi cha
mAnavoughA manuShyEShu mama rupa dharAh sivAh //
Among the guru-ougha mandala, manavaougha guru mandala having transformed
into the form of Siva, walk secretly among us to bless the able disciples.
That is why, we see several examples of the gurus who have shed their mortal coil
in the physical plane, continue to bless their disciples and even grant the
"padukanta diksha".
I would cite a recent example of Shri Tadepalli Raghavanarayana Sastry of
Chandavolu. Though his bala diksha guru was Shri Tadikonda Kedaralinga Ayyavaru
& panchadasi & shodasi guru was Shri Addepalli Somanatha Sarma Garu, his
padukanta diksha guru was Shri Vasudevananda Saraswathi Swamigal (alias Tembe
Swamigal). Shri Tembe Swamigal passed away long back and was not physically
present when Shri Chandavolu Sastrigal was alive. But, Tembe Swamigal conferred
Paduka Diksha to Chandavolu Sastrigal and christened him with "anandanatha
diksha nama".
So, after this exhaustive post, what I meant to say is that "sastra adhyayana" is
must and should at the holy feet of one's own guru who should hail from shrotriya &
brahmanishta guru parampara.
ONE SHOULD NOT UTTER THE WORDS LIKE "INTERCOURSE WITHOUT MIND &
BODY" WHICH IS JUST OUT OF THE BLUE.
First I thought of not replying this post because now-a-days, I am keeping lot of
restraint in my posts keeping in view of the sastra vakya "LOKAN NA NINDYAT", but

my conscience doesn't accept whenever any statement is seen which is

sampradaya-viruddha.

the above is contains summary of some of the important tantras
Srinathadi - gurutrayam ganapatim Pithatrayam bhairavam Siddhaugham
batukatrayam padayugam Dutikramam mandalam Virandvyasta catuska sasti
navakam Viravali pancakam Srimanmalini mantra rajasahitam Vande
gurormandalam
I bow to the guru's assemblage, which is composed of the three gurus, whose titles
begin with Shrinatha, Ganapati, three seats (of Shakti), (eight) Bhairavas, the group
of (nine traditional) Siddhas, three Batukas, two feet (representing Shiva and
Shakti), the sequence of (ten) dutis, (three) mandalas, ten viras, sixty-four
(established siddhas), nine (mudras), the line of five viras (with special functions)
together with the revered Malini (the letters of the alphabet), and Mantraraja (the
ultimate mantra). Lord Shiva has quoted in several shlokas that guru is the sole
representative of 33,000 crore forms of divinity in kali yuga. So in this shloka, he
details the grandeur of the assemblage - darbar of the guru..

Nevertheless, there is sampradya bheda in Guru Mandala Archana also in " Amnaya
Sapthavimshati Rahasya " , the general meaning for the Guruvandana mantra is
given
out for academic interest.
