GUHYA ṢOḌAŚĪ
Guhya means secret and Guhya Ṣoḍaśī is one of the most secretive mantras and is not widely practiced. The following mantra appears in Mantramahodadhiḥ (taraṃga 12). There is no reference to this mantra in Mantramahārṇavaḥ. The Pañcadaśī mantra of Lopāmudra is used while formulating Guhya Ṣoḍaśī.
ॐ ह्रीं ॐ श्रीं ह्रीं
सौः क्लीं ऐं
ह स क ल ह्रीं
ह स क ह ल ह्रीं
स क ल ह्रीं
ॐ ह्रीं ॐ श्रीं ह्रीं
om hrīṁ om śrīṁ hrīṁ
sauḥ klīṁ aiṁ
ha sa ka la hrīṁ
ha sa ka ha la hrīṁ
sa ka la hrīṁ
om hrīṁ om śrīṁ hrīṁ
(The authenticity of this mantra is not verified with other sources, as no such source is available to me. This mantra is published as someone sought to know about this mantra, which has been published as a comment in the article Mahāṣoḍaśī Mantra.)
Variations of SHODASHI MANTRA is given in this posting.

Thank you very much for giving the Guhya Sodashi Mantra and can you please explain its meaning .

I am not sure of this mantra itself. The doubt arises mainly because the first line is repeated as such in the last line. According to me the bīja-s of the last line should be in the reverse order of the first line, which is known as mantra sampuṭikaraṇa. I will try to get more details on this and if available, I will post them here.

Pranam Manblunder
I am a regular reader of your great blog and want to thank you for your posts.
Can you post something on Tara Mahavidya, her story and heard that her Mantra was Cursed by Risi Vashistha, can you tell us more.
Thank You

There is a curse removal mantra for Tara. But I am not sure whether the mantra is cursed by Vasiṣṭha. Once I have the details, I will certainly post it here. All the ten Mahāvidyā (daśamahāvidyā)mantras are cursed and there are curse removal mantras too.

Pranam Manblunder,
Thank you for sharing the curse removal mantra of Tara with us and hopefully the Mahavidyas too.I have read somewhere that Tara mantra was cursed.If would be wonderful if you could provide the legend behind it too.

Sage Vaṣiṭha was worshipping Tārā Devi for a long time; but the mantra did not fructify for him. In a fit of rage, he cursed Tārā Devi and consequently her mantra also lost its power. After realising his mistake, Vaṣiṭha ordained that letter sa (स) be added to the existing bīja trīṁ (त्रीं). Therefore, the original mantra of Tārā Devi om hrīṁ trīṁ hūṁ phaṭ (ॐ ह्रीं त्रीं हूं फट्) became om hrīṁ strīṁ hūṁ phaṭ (ॐ ह्रीं स्त्रीं हूं फट्).

The authenticity of the above mantra is now verified and there is no change in the mantra given above.

Thank you Manblunder for giving explanation about Sage Vashitha and Tara mantra.Hope you can provide the curse removal for Tara Mantra too.

There is no separate curse removal mantra for Tārā mantra. If trīṁ is changed into strīṁ, then mantra is removed of curse. I have given the full mantra in the discussion forum.

Guruji
Is ther any dhyana sloka available for Guhya sodashi? Dakshinamoorthy sampradaya dont have Guhya Sodashi upasana.Only Ananda Bhairava sampradaya have her upasana which is usually given after purascharana of maha sodashi.

Namasthe Raviji
Which is the Supreme shodashi mantra
Para shodashi or maha shodashi or guhya shodasi.
In Srividya kosha, Para shodashi is listed in urdhwamnaya. Whereas mahashodashi and even panchdashi are listed in anuttaramnaya.
Guhya shodashi is listed nowhere.
Can you please guide me
Regards
Madhav

Our aim is to reach HER feet so that She can take us Shiva for liberation. All mantras are the same. As far as your question is concerned, opinion differs on this. You can read this link for further clarifications. Since, Mahashodashi comes under Anuttarāmnāya, it is considered as Supreme.

Om Shree Mathre Namaha

In this mantra why the samputikarana is not done as mirror image? is this correct version?
May 16, 2023 07:05 AM
This is one version of it. There may be others that we are not aware. Also please note that these mantras are ineffective without a proper initiation and japa vidhi.
May 24, 2023 08:05 AM
Tripuraghnaji, can you please elucidate in the dhyana and more understanding of this form of Devi Lalitha.
April 05, 2024 06:04 PM
Please Publish Guhyashodasi dhyana?
April 05, 2024 09:04 PM
The japa vidhi is not available with us and we do not have the dhyāna ślokas either. As per some accounts, only a very few privileged individuals have this mantra in their possession, and we are not amongst them.
