Meaning:-

The kāma bīja (seed mantra) klīm̐, represents fulfillment of all desires, spiritual and material, as well as granting great powers of attraction. The bīja also consists of ‘ka’ which is Lord Mahākāla’s (an aspect of Lord Śiva) Kamalā śakti, representing the evolution of consciousness. The letter ‘la’ is pṛthvi tattva and represents Earth. The letter ‘ī’ represents Mahāmāyā, the virtual reality. The letter ‘m̐’ is nāda-bindu that dispels sorrow. Together, it represents attainment and fulfillment, of all Earthly and material desires and pursuits.

The Kālī bīja (seed mantra) krīm̐, consists of ‘ka’ which is Lord Mahākāla’s (an aspect of Lord Śiva) Kamalā śakti, representing the evolution of consciousness. The letter ‘ra’ is Ananta Tejomaya Brahma, the omniscient and ever shining Brahman Himself, representing all aspects of Creation, Sustenance and Destruction, Who is none other than Mahākāla. The letter ‘ī’ represents Mahāmāyā, the virtual reality. The letter ‘m̐’ is nāda-bindu that dispels sorrow. The Lokanāyika, the ruler of the entire Creation, the Divine Mother who is the śakti of Mahākāla, in Her Vindu (Bindu or Dimensionless dot) rūpa (form) is Mahākālī,  the kriyā śakti or the One who takes action and is the dispeller of all sorrow, extinguisher of all karmas, negativity, black magic, enemies etc. and grantor of self-realization and liberation.

The Krodha bīja (seed) mantra hūm̐ represents cutting off all attachments as well as obstacles in our material and spiritual progress. It consists of the letter ‘ha’ which is the ākāśa tattva representing the vast sky and the infinite space – ether and also Parāśiva representing pure bliss and dissolution of all sin. The letter ‘ū’ is Umeśa Mahākāla Bhairava the annihilator and bestower of spiritual transformation. Lastly, The letter ‘m̐’ is nāda-bindu that dispels sorrow. Together, the signification is towards spiritual elevation by burning all the karmas.

The Aṅkuśa bīja (seed) mantra krom̐ represents anger and wrath, as well as destruction of all falsehood and integration with the Divine. The letter ‘ka’ is mūla prakṛti śakti, meaning the root or the primary cause of the manifestation of nature. The letter ‘ra’ is Ananta Tejomaya Brahma, the omniscient and ever shining Brahman Himself, representing all aspects of Creation, Sustenance and Destruction, Who is none other than Mahākāla. The letter ‘o’ is śuddhātma or pure consciousness. The letter ‘m̐’ is nāda-bindu that dispels sorrow. Together, the signification is the evolution of the pure consciousness from the inherent material nature. Meaning, we tend to identify ourselves as consciousness and not the body and also get detached from material obsessions.

The bīja (seed) mantra "sphrom̐" forms the Kāmakalā starting from the Hārdakalā (Digit of Love). I will explain: The letter "s" means Hārdakalā or Love without a superior and which subdues everything. There is a big secret: this letter "s" alone is the force responsible for irresistibly uniting Śiva and Śakti. There is an even greater secret: this letter "s" means the eight-petalled lotus of the Śrīcakra; it unites the sixteen-petalled lotus or Bīja (Śiva) with the subsequent three sets of angles or Yoni (Śakti) of the Śrīcakra; this union manifests the Universe as the Bhūpura of the Śrīcakra. The letter "ph" means the White Bindu or the immediate Śiva. The letter "r" means the red Bindu or the illuminating Śakti. The Praṇava "om̐" means the Golden Bindu or Supreme Absolute. The "sphrom̐" seed alone is Kāmakalā and Kālikā. The truth is that "phr" alone means Bhairava and Kālikā which are in no way different from Kāmeśvara and Kāmeśvari. By reciting this Mantra you are gradually realizing the Vasīkaraṇa of the Praṇava "om̐" in a violent way. The realization of the seed "sphrom̐" leads to the union and identity of your soul with the Praṇava "om̐" or the Supreme Absolute. In truth, "sphrom̐" means "Sat Tat Om̐" ("This Love, which is the Absolute Truth and without a superior, permeates the entire World and is the Supreme Absolute"). This Kāmakalākāli will put an end to all your desires by satisfying them all, without exception, but there is a problem... she will do everything you wish, good or bad. She will fulfill all your righteous desires to bless you and all your unrighteous desires to punish and teach you, just as she did to Rāvaṇa when he took the help of this Mantra to subdue Rāma and forcibly kidnap Sītā. But in the end, Kāmakalākāli helped Rāma as Guhyakāli and gave him the power to destroy Rāvaṇa. It is very important to remember that the original Dharma is Guhyakāli. Pratyaṅgirā inherited this Dharmic nature from Guhyakāli. Kāmakalākāli is more playful and will punish and teach you even through satisfying your unjust desires. Therefore, the practitioner of the Kāmakalākāli Mantra needs a Guru even more, to prevent the devotee from falling into the traps of his own ego. You must be pure inside and out if you do not want to get into trouble with the Kāmakalākāli Mantra. If you desire something that is Adharmic, it will fulfill your desire, but it will lead to punishment or learning in the end. Kāmakalākāli and Lalitā are playful, but Lalitā is more thoughtful when it comes to teaching the devotee. Kāmakalākāli is a quick and exciting journey that will take your breath away. Lalitā is a quieter trip, ideal for enjoying the view. This is the way to work with Kāmakalākāli, according to the guidance of the Divine Mother. (Contribution credit to Shri Jothi Agaval)

The bhūta bīja (seed) mantra sphrem̐ represents all the natural elements such as air, water, fire, earth and ether. It consists of the letter ‘sa’, which is the pṛthvi tattva Śiva, meaning the omniscience of Lord Śiva and His presence in all matter. The letter ‘pha’ represents sphuraṇa meaning pulsation or vibration, which is the duality of matter as both wave and mass. The letter ‘ra’ is Ananta tejomayi or the all illuminating Brahman as the Divine Mother Mahākālī. The letter ‘e’ is the Divine Mother Vāṇi, Who indicates speech and knowledge. The letter ‘m̐’ is nāda-bindu that dispels sorrow. Together, the signification is that the Divine Mother exists in all forms of matter, waveforms, sound frequencies and is the source of illumination of both the material and spiritual existence. All sorrow is dispelled by any of the specified means indicated by this bīja.

The word ‘Kāma’ is desire and all wishes. ‘Kalā’ is ‘avastha’ or the diffent states and situations that are possible. The Divine Mother Kālī is the kriyā śakti of Lord Mahākāla, who has the power to transform our state and completely dispel all sorrows. She is the controller of time and heralds all change and has the power to change the status quo and annihilate even the most stubborn karma that could be impacting our growth in the material and/or spiritual realms.

This mantra is a prayer to the Goddess Śrī Kāmakalākālī, asking Her to come to our rescue and remove all negative energies and inimical forces acting upon us and also to free us from all bad karma and help with our well-being. She will completely transform us and remove all types or sorrow, be it material or spiritual. One becomes free of diseases, poverty and all types of bad karma. She is fast acting and very forceful! The devotees will never be disappointed by investing their faith in Her.
