This would not have been possible without your timely suggestion. Thank you very much and we are all glad that many have found this useful.

Mother Shyamala being intelligence & attraction shakti indeed is very very appealing form. I was thinking of requesting you for many many months but asking you to write about mantras/about 9 forms of Mother Shyamala/Matnagi will be abusing your kindness. But while responding to somebody when you said "if there is enough interest I will provide mantras of Ma Tara/Neela Saraswati/Buddhist forms" then I thought let me place my request. But It was a pleasant surprise that you provided so fast. You wrote 10 articles(9 mantras & sri shyamala shodasa nama stotram) in less than two weeks. I can imagine how much effort & time this might taken. Indeed thankful and I still going back to them every day.

It was possible by the blessings of our guru Śrī Raviji and the grace of the Divine Mother Śrī Śyāmalā Devi. Not something I am capable of in any manner. All of what is written here are merely the teachings of Śrī Guru. We are all very fortunate to have him in our midst. The entire Mid-west U.S. and the South including the state of Texas, were under the Arctic blast and we had one of the worst weather conditions in Dallas, Texas. The entire state was reeling under power cuts, water problems and extreme weather. Despite all of this, we did not face any power outage whatsoever and we had water too. It would not have been possible to translate the mantras on a daily basis and post them, especially in times of disaster like the one we faced, if not for Divine assistance and will.

Indeed gratitude to Sri Raviji. I totally forgot on arctic blast. In spite of it you wrote these articles. Without Divine Mother's help it was definitely not possible.

These mantras are not to be chanted without a proper initiation. You may consider the Divine Mother Sarasvatī devī mantras instead. May the Divine Mother guide you through your exams and lead you to greater heights in life. When you are ready, you may consider an initiation to Śrīvidyā and learn all these mantras in a proper manner.

If Bala Tripura Sundari is worshipped, one automatically gets the boon of Shyamala and Varahi as they always accompany Bala Tripura Sundari and Lalita herself because Bala is a child form of Lalita?

Yes. Your statement is correct if you promise to worship only her until the end of your life. Then you will receive these benefits. But if you worship Bala Tripurasundari as part of a "system", Bala will help you to progress in that "system" only. If you make Bala Tripurasundari your only refuge, it alone will become the "complete system" and give the benefits you said. It depends on the intention of the devotee and his devotion.

Whatever you do, follow the right path. In the past, the absence of Dharma has brought ruin to royal families protected by extremely powerful deities like Kubjika, Guhyakali, Siddhilakshmi. Members of these families started to perform Adharma and the deity turned against the whole family itself. Deities have honor and must be respected. They don't just protect us from harm, but also other people from the harm we eventually do to others. There are very powerful family lines in the past that were brought to complete ruin for not having learned this valuable lesson: Dharma and Satya.

Namaste Tripuraghna,

Many thanks for sharing us with these wonderful and secretive information. Your knowledge is unparalleled and guidance is invaluable for all of us. For the benefit of Manblunder readers and devotees of Raja Matangi can you please let us know what do you mean by replacing the word Trailokyam with the name of the Diety?

Please clarify if the modified mantra would be like this?

aim̐ hrīm̐ śrīm̐ aim̐ klīm̐ sauḥ oṃ namo bhagavati śrī mātaṅgīśvari sarva-jana-manohari sarva-mukha-rañjani klīm̐ hrīm̐ śrīm̐ sarvarāja vaśaṅkari sarva-strī-puruṣa-vaśaṅkari sarva-duṣṭa-mṛga-vaśaṅkari sarva-sattva-vaśaṅkari sarva-loka-vaśaṅkari Sri Raja Mantangeshwaryei vaśamānaya svāhā sauḥ klīm̐ aim̐ śrīm̐ hrīm̐ aim̐ ।

Namaste Santosh. This Mantra of Śrī Rāja Śyāmalā has many secrets. I will use Lalitā as an example. If a devotee of Śyāmalā wants to directly become the form of Lalitā, he should replace the word "trailokyam me" with "śrīrājarājeśvarī me". By doing this, the devotee who has mastered the Mantra of Śyāmalā will undoubtedly become the form of Lalitā. Another example. If the devotee replaces the word "trailokyam me" with "śrīcaitanyabhairavī me", he will become the form of Caitanya Bhairavi. When the devotee does this, he fully understands whatever deity he desires because he will indeed become the deity he chooses to be. The devotee attains the power to do this when he attains complete union with Śyāmalā. A union so strong that he easily starts reciting Mantras at supernatural speed. He attains complete union with Śyāmalā, after great effort and devotion. After this union, the devotee receives the royal symbol of Śyāmalā and the title "Mudriṇī". He receives the power to become the Goddess or God he desires through the strength of this Mantra. He gains knowledge of the deity he desires and automatically becomes whichever deity he chooses. Mudriṇī here means the ability to move freely through the Worlds, Mantras, Deities and Sounds. Just as the Siddha alters the circuitry of the body through Mudras, the devotee alters the circuitry of the universe to become the Goddess or God he desires or achieve whatever goal he desires. He moves through the circuits of the universe in this way. This is an advanced stage reached by devotees who have chosen to dedicate themselves only to Śrī Rāja Śyāmalā. Usually people approach Śyāmalā only temporarily to get closer to Lalitā. But when a devotee commits himself to worshiping only Śyāmalā during his lifetime, he receives these advanced powers. I know this sounds very incredible but that's why she is called "Pradhaneshi" or "the most important one".

Thank you for your answer. Can you please tell us what it means to worship as part of the system? What is the right way to worship? Can you please tell me what Dharma and Satya mean? These are very broad concepts and everyone interprets them differently. In one case, Dharma can be like Adharma, and Adharma can be like Dharma. Satya is Absolute Truth, but what does it mean more specifically? Thank you.

Namaste. The term "rāja mātaṅgīśvari me" should never be used, because she is already the presiding deity of the Mantra. She is already present. When the devotee is trying to master the Mantra and achieve complete union with Raja Śyāmala, he uses "trailokyaṃ me", asserting her secret omnipresence in all deities and mantras. At this stage, the devotee is also subtly infusing his presence into all deities and mantras. When the union becomes complete, then he can move through whatever he wants.

Now I will tell you about the worship of Bala Tripurasundari inside or outside the Shri Vidya system. When you approach Bala Tripurasundari within the Shri Vidya system, you want to worship her only temporarily, as your ultimate goal is to worship only Lalita Tripurasundari. In that case, you ask Bala Tripurasundari to help you get closer to Lalita. If you approach Bala that way, she won't show you everything she's capable of. She will only bring you closer to Lalita. But if you approach Bala Tripurasundari alone and outside the Shri Vidya system, then it will be totally different. If you tell her that she is your only Mother and that you are putting your life in her hands, then she will show you what she is capable of. How to adore her? The simplest and most sincere way is to recite her Mantra and Sahasranama to the best of your abilities and availability. Each day take a name from her Sahasranama and meditate on its meaning. Then you will begin to discover every day and in every name what she is capable of doing. People should be more afraid of a devotee of Bala Tripurasundari than of Lalita Tripurasundari, because doing harm to a child will attract the double rage of Lalita's entire army.

First I will explain to you in a simple way what "Dharma" and "Satya" truly mean. I will explain it in the words of Śrī Atharvaṇa Bhadrakālī Pratyaṅgirā herself: "I do not wish to cause unnecessary pain to anyone. I wish to do good and contribute to the evolution of all mankind, but if anyone insists on causing unnecessary harm through thoughts, words or deeds, I will take them to the abode of Yama (God of Death) in hell." Whenever the Divine Mother uses destructive force against her own children, she wants that child to fall first in order to reach higher heights in the future. Destruction in the eyes of the Divine Mother means "Purification". Thus, "Satya" means the ultimate truth that all beings are part of your own soul. You must never forget this. "Dharma" means working with your own evolution and that of all beings that cross your path in life, even if it means using destructive force against them for their own good or that of others. When you apply a destructive force to a being correctly, that being will fall by a certain degree to reach greater heights in the future. The union of "Satya" and "Dharma" results in "Jīvā Karuṇai" which means divine compassion, which is the main quality of God. It is intelligent compassion.

Namaste Sir! Please tell us how can we please Lord Shiva on MahaShivratri. Thank you!

Namaste Tripuraghnaji. Let me first thank you on behalf of all manblunder followers for the priceless knowledge that we are all grasping from you. I have heard that Divine Mother Pratyangira's authentic sahasranama is kept very secret by the sadhakas. Is it true in your opinion and if yes, could you please share some of her most important names as you did for Divine Mother Guhya Kali with us, along with your engaging commentary? I would be very grateful to you for this. It is my heartfelt desire to gain access to the entire sahasranama but I feel that would be too much to ask for, except if you are willing to reveal by Divine Mother's grace. I know a lot of devotees here are seeking lots of clarifications from you regarding their loved deities. But the thing is that sadhakas like you are like finding water in the desert. No one wants to lose the opportunity of seeking help from such a blessed being. Thank you again Tripuraghnaji on behalf of everyone. Regards and prostrations.

Thank you very much for your reply! Could you please tell me if it is possible to recite Lalita Sahasranama instead of Bala Sahasranama, since Bala is the child form of Lalita? All the names of Lalita Sahasranama are explained and described in detail, but the names of Bala Sahasranama are not. Perhaps you know where one can find the names of Bala Tripura Sundari as well described? Please tell us more about Jīvā Karuṇai. Does it mean not to do to others what you do not want done to you? Because the Jīvātmā, the real Self of every living being, manifests itself as the whole world, and by causing suffering to someone we harm ourselves? Can you please tell me whether it is possible to repeat the Bala Tripura Sundari mantra as described by Tivra Ji, or can you supplement this method or is it completely sufficient? For example, what is meant by "Confident in this, the devotee should enter the state of Dhyana"? True Knowledge, that which is confirmed by two wise men. This is what Tivra Ji has said: Namaste Krishna. What I mentioned are really uddhāra ślokas. Decoding them, one arrives at the Mantra of Tripura Bhairavi which I will tell you: The Dīpanī for Vāgbhava is "hstraim̐ aim̐"; The Dīpanī for Kāmarāja is "hsklrīm̐ klīm̐"; The Dīpanī for Parā is "hstraum̐ḥ sauḥ". The complete formula that must be recited 100 times is the Mantra "hstraim̐ aim̐ hsklrīm̐ klīm̐ hstraum̐ḥ sauḥ". Additionally, the devotee can further increase the strength of the Bālā Mantra by invoking Icchā, Jñāna, Kriyā Śaktis of Lalitā, reciting 100 times the Mantra "aim̐ vada vada vāgvādini aim̐" (meditate on the tongue of Lalitā) | klīm̐ klinne kledini kledaya kledaya mahā kṣobham̐ kuru kuru klīm̐ (meditate on Lalitā's breasts) | sauḥ mōkṣam̐ kuru kuru sauḥ (meditate on the Yoni of Lalitā) | hsaum̐ḥ shauḥm̐ namaḥ (meditate on the two feet of the Guru, the one who authorizes liberation) || The resulting Mantra is "aim̐ vada vada vāgvādini aim̐ | klīm̐ klinne kledini kledaya kledaya mahā kṣobham̐ kuru kuru klīm̐ | sauḥ mōkṣam̐ kuru kuru sauḥ | hsaum̐ḥ shauḥm̐ namaḥ || Having done all this, the sincere devotee should meditate on the fact that Bālā is Lalitā's own strength, identical in all aspects of strength. Confident of this the devotee should enter the state of Dhyana and recite the Bālā Mantra "aim̐ klīm̐ sauḥ" 10,000 (ten thousand) times in 2 hours every day (mentally). You will be able to do this if you are in Dhyana and Mantra free from curses. For that devotee who performs this procedure, nothing becomes impossible to do. All difficult things seem like child's play to him, even the terrible ones. Then Bālā becomes the vehicle by which the devotee plays and travels in the mysteries of all the Amnayas and masters them completely, and in the end he reaches and plays in his Mother's abode in the Anuttaramnaya. Just as Bālā surprised all those present in the great war, the devotee will surprise all the sages because although she has the appearance of a child, she is fully capable of all things like Lalitā herself, her Mother. Thank you very much for your deep knowledge! Also, I am very grateful to Ravi Ji and Krishna for creating and maintaining this website, where enlightened great souls visit from time to time and share unselfishly the spiritual knowledge that in the past could only be obtained after many years of service to their Gurudev. In this way, your website is like an Ashram, where the darkness of ignorance is dispelled and the Divine Mother herself speaks through such enlightened people.

Pranam Tripuraghna Ji, can Chandi path be done without initiation? Are utkeelan and Shaap Vimochan mantras given in the Gita Press Durga Saptshati book authentic? How effective is Beej-Mantratmak Durga Saptshati? Also, if you have time, please write something about Sri Ucchista Ganpati and his secret Sahasranaama Thank you!

Namaste Luck. Ardent devotion allied to Śrī Śivapañcākṣarī Mahāmantraḥ will always be the supreme prayer of Lord Śiva.

Namaste Krishna. It is an honor to be able to collaborate with this website whose work has been so sincere over the years. I know about this Pratyangira incident. They distorted the Sahasranama of Sumukhi/Matangi and said that it is the Sahasranama of Atharvana Bhadrakali Maha Pratyangira. This happened by the will of the Divine Mother Herself because this Sahasranama is a delicate matter and She fears that it will be misused. What is problematic when talking about Pratyangira is the tremendous power of devotees to bless or curse anything. The devotee can literally destroy entire families if he accidentally says something wrong. No army is greater than that of Atharvana Bhadrakali. The nine Kalis are there, all the Yoginis are there, all the Bhairavas are there. Everyone who is terrible is there in her army. Lalita Tripurasundari was "nice" when she assembled her army, but as Atharvana Bhadrakali it is something difficult even to look at. Of Bhairavas alone, there are an indefinite number of them in her army. I don't know... if it's up to her I'll delve deeper into this at some point.

Namaste. The Lalita Sahasranama is to be recited only by devotees of Lalita Mahatripurasundari. Each deity has its own Sahasranama describing the glory. If we want to become intimate with a deity, we must avoid mixing things up. Bala Tripurasundari Sahasranama (without the meaning) can be found on the website sanskritdocuments.org. The meaning of Sahasranama names are quite deep and sometimes internet interpretations are very shallow. Ideally, you should learn the full meanings by the grace of a Guru, but if you don't have one available, you can calmly meditate on a different name each day. With the grace of the Divine Mother you will certainly understand the material and esoteric meaning of each name. Everything Tivra Ji said is correct. What you said is correct. Jīvā Karuṇai is something that can only be achieved by the grace of the Divine Mother. You must have a lot of devotion and do your best to follow the right path. You must say: 'Mother, I am so bad, I have so many faults, I have so many sins! Mother, the sum of the sins of my innumerable past lives is as immense as the seven seas, if you consider even a single fragment of my sins I have no hope of being saved. Mom, even with all this you still let me live to fight. Mother, give me the intelligence to love all beings in the best way and always do what must be done. Mother, I am so small." Having first the humility to know one's smallness and incapacity before the Mother, the devotee can become big and reach greater and greater heights, but the arrogant devotee will be humbled until he recognizes his own shortcomings.

Namaste again Tripuraghnaji. Thank you very much for the reply. I understand that some things cannot be revealed according to the will of the Divine Mother for the collective good but still I got to learn about her invincible army thanks to you. Could you please guide whether her Ashtotram published on the website is correct? Finally, if you could share with us some of the rules relating to her proper worship it would be very helpful. It is so difficult to find any information about these exceptional deities except if enlightened beings themselves come forward and decide to help. I hope and wish that you continue blessing this website and everyone of its readers with your presence, knowledge and words. Regards.

Thank you for your answer! I realized that I shouldn't mix worship of different deities. Should I choose one deity and one mantra for the rest of my life? If one worshiped Bala Tripura Sundari, then it is not necessary to pray to Ganesha, repeat the Gayatri mantra, Narasimha Rinmochana Stotram, 12 names of Saraswati and Lakshmi (given as an example) before the start of the day? Instead of these hymns and mantras, is it better to focus on worshiping the one and only Bala Tripura Sundari? During festivals such as Navaratri, Mahashivaratri, Jayanti of different deities, can they be worshipped? I mean, you need to have a good relationship with all deities, people and other beings. Nandi Maharaj, who is probably the greatest devotee of Shiva, at the same time loves Parvati like his mother, Ganesh, Skanda, Vishnu, Brahma, various Rishis, Muni, and he also has a lot of respect for them, and at the same time he has good relations with demons, ganas. Do you need to choose one deity, but at the same time be on good terms with all the others? Is it necessary to stop celebrating Navaratri, Mahashivaratri and other holidays that only accelerate spiritual development? What's wrong with repeating the Lakshmi mantra on Diwali, the Panchakshari Mahamantra on Mahashivaratri, or the Vishnu mantra on Ekadashi when you have chosen Bala Tripura Sundari as your only goddess, or is it impossible to work in this way? How do you address Bala Tripura Sundari as a mother if she is depicted as a 9-year-old girl? In fact, we don't choose who to worship, but the deities choose who they want to worship, is that right? Thank you for your answer, sorry for the long comment again.

I'll answer your question with something for you to meditate too. Meditate on the following: if you let a faucet drip slowly into a single bucket before going to sleep for the night, the next day this bucket will be full of water. You will be amazed at how those drops falling slowly into that same bucket became all that water. Likewise, if you don't focus your devotion on a single deity, you will never fill or overflow a bucket. What will happen is that the drops of water will disperse and evaporate with the force of your Karmas and you will remain in the same place. The worst of it is that you will have wasted your birth as a human. I would like to reinforce something for the readers of this website. Birth as a human being is difficult to achieve. You may pay respects to other deities briefly, but your heart must belong to a single deity and mantra at the end. On your question about Divine Mother Bala Tripurasundari. Yes, she is your Mother and her age has an esoteric meaning. I have already heard of an incident of people mocking a devotee of Bala Tripurasundari just because they were already initiated into Shodashi and this devotee was not because he wanted to dedicate himself only to Bala Tripurasundari. Divine Mother Bala saw these people mock her devotee. What did she do? She visited her devotee in sleep and gave the Siddhi and Mukti of Lalita's highest form. She humiliated the people who mocked her devotee by giving her devotee something they will never get in that birth.

In the past, Prayogas of Atharvana Bhadrakali were created to destroy entire countries. I am not kidding. To destroy an entire country. Now imagine how brutal this Vidya really is. The truth is that India would be the leading country in the world if it had not let most of its knowledge be destroyed and lost. But I believe this was in the plans of the Divine Mother. She has her own reasons.

Namaste Krishna. The 108 names of Pratyangira present on this website are slightly altered from the original. This modification was to make Her less violent. The original 108 names are present on this website https://stotranidhi.com/en/sri-pratyangira-ashtottara-shatanamavali-in-english/amp/ I don't really like talking about Atharvana Bhadrakali because I fear people will get hurt for curiosity. Most people cannot bear the truths that Atharvana Bhadrakali will show. She is violent and cruel in showing the truth. She was born for the purpose of making war, waging war, opposing, destroying at the root. She isn't satisfied with just immobilizing attacks, she chases down enemies. At the top of the Vidyas of protection and counterattack is Maha Viparita Pratyangira Bhadrakali, who is different from Atharvana Bhadrakali Pratyangira. Mother Maha Viparita Pratyangira Bhadrakali is the topmost of cruel Vidyas. When she attacks an enemy, that enemy will never cause trouble again. She is known to destroy permanently. I don't recommend worshiping these deities because it's like manipulating a nuclear bomb to kill an ant. Pratyangira is a Vidya for enemies present in higher states of consciousness. It's a good thing that most people don't really know how to put this Vidya in motion. And these Vidyas must remain locked up when most people are so impure.

Thank you so much for answering again! Everything you said is clear, but what is the secret, esoteric meaning of the Divine Mother manifesting herself as a 9-year-old girl - Bala Tripura Sundari? Could you share a spiritual experience that would inspire us all to develop spiritually, to worship the Divine Mother no matter what, to never stop, and to eventually come to her? Thank you very much again!

Dear Tripuraghnaji, words fall short to express my gratitude towards you. From your comments, it is now absolutely clear as to why you are hesitant to reveal the rules and secrets related to Divine Mother Pratyangira. When I consider all your responses to my queries relating to Mother Pratyangira honestly I am astonished. Because you tried your best to give me the maximum knowledge about her for my satisfaction while making sure at the same time you respected the acceptable limits of revealability. This shows your compassion towards each person here seeking clarifications from you. I bow to you Tripuraghnaji; you are an example. Again as I stressed earlier, each of your comments is brimming with precious knowledge and are an invaluable gift for anyone insterested in growing spiritually. Thank you for guiding about the ashtotram on the website and again thank you for directing me towards the original one. Regards.

Dear Tripuraghnaji, thank you for sharing all this wisdom with us, I was wondering if the 108 and 1000 names of Pratyangira Maa on this website are still suitable for devotional chanting, even if they are not accurate? I feel great devotion towards Her and just simply want to chant Her names. Thank you!

Namaste. I'll tell you about an experience I had in the past. My Ishta Devata is Lalita Mahatripurasundari, but there was a time when I worshiped Maha Varahi. The supreme commander came to me personally after I meditated only once on Kavacham and her Twelve Names. She came face-to-face with me at night with my eyes open. What can you learn from what I told you? Did I recite her mantra crores of times? What brought her to me so quickly? I didn't even recite her Mantra and she came in person. The answer would be that she came because she wanted to, because she felt trust and sincerity in my objective. Of course I already had the blessings of Raja Shyamala too who helped me along the way before. What the devotee must understand is that the deity is not obligated to answer his call. She will do what she wants to do according to the soul that you are. Deities are not obligated to do what you want, so it's best to establish a sincere relationship with them.

Namaskar Tripuraghnaji... I also found a Shodashi/MahatripuraSundariSahasranam which also look different than Lalitha Sahasranam.. Can you elucidate the difference between the two in short please? I know there is no difference between the two other than a degree of gradiation...But would like to hear from you... Also I found a PurnaMahaShodashi mantra which is different than MahaShodashi.. Again there has to a be a grade of difference in two... Can you elucidate please?..

Namaste Joseph. This was what I sought clarification for from Tripuraghnaji. I checked the 108 names on the Manblunder website against the original 108 names. I found that the distortion is not significant compared to that of her 1000 names. As Tripuraghnaji stressed, the changes to the 108 names on this website were made so that Divine Mother Pratyangira can be approached more safely. You can definitely chant the 108 names listed on the manblunder website. You will see at the beginning of the 108 names that her dhyana shloka is to be recited. So with this, Divine Mother knows that you are addressing her and praising her attributes. I recommend you to go for the 108 names. Divine Mother Pratyangira's real 1000 names are kept very secret and you will come across them only by her grace and will. Till that happens, stick to the 108 names, they are very powerful be assured. As Tripuraghnaji said, meditate on each of the names as you are chanting them, this pleases her the most. Approach her with most sincere intentions, faith and devotion. One thing I would like to add which my Guru taught me in the beginning - never ever doubt the Divine Mother. If you are having sincere intentions and are devoted to her, she will be there to help you. Do not see her as a weapon or tool, that is the most dangerous thing to do. At last I would address my thanks and gratitute to Sri Krishna Vallapareddy; upon seeing his sincere efforts and dedication towards this website for the betterment of everyone, many advanced sadhakas are attracted here and offer their invaluable guidance. Krishnaji along with the other Gurus mentoring this website laid the path so that these advanced sadhakas are within our reach. He deserves our thanks, prayers and best wishes. Regards.

Namaste Lucky. You asked a very important question. Lord Mahā Guru Śrī Dakṣiṇāmūrti says that there is no difference between Śrī Lalitā Sahasranāma and Śrī Guhyanāmaucchiṣṭagaṇeśāna Sahasranāma. Lord Dakṣiṇāmūrti says that whoever dares to differentiate these two Sahasranāmas is a sinner and has not understood the essence of Lalitā and Śrī Vidyā. These two Sahasranāma only speak of one thing: Śrī Vidyā. Dakṣiṇāmūrti also says that there are no differences between the Supreme Mantra Pañcadaśākṣarī (Śrī Vidyā) and the Supreme Mantra Dvicatvārim̐śatyakṣara (Ucchiṣṭamahāgaṇapati). That's the danger of chasing secrets: realizing that in the end there are no secrets.

Namaste Tripuraghna. Thank you once again for the deep insight into these esoteric practices and revealing great secrets for the benefit of all sincere seekers. We are all very grateful and pray that you continue to enlighten us all with your knowledge and compassionate grace!

Pranam Tripuraghna Ji, as per Lalita Sahasranaama, Varahi Devi killed Visukra and Mantrini Amba killed Vishangha. However, as per Lalitopakhyanam, it is the other way round; Mantrini Amba killed Visukra and Varahi Devi Killed Vishanga. Why this contradiction? Also, why is the real Ucchista Ganpati Sahasranama not in the public domain like Lalita Sahasranaama? Is it available in any Shankaracharya mutt? Thank you very much!

Namaste Lucky. About the contradictions, what is in the Lalitā Sahasranāma is completely true, that's all you should know. About the secret Sahasranāma. Millions of times more powerful than these two Sahasranāmas is the Lalitā Triśatī. Therefore I prefer to recite the Lalitā Sahasranāma and amplify its power millions of times with the Lalitā Triśatī. These hymns are extremely dependent on your mastery of Pañcadaśākṣarī. It is a pity that most devotees are unable to master Pañcadaśākṣarī. It is a very difficult Mantra to master. Only a true devotee will have the necessary patience to master this Mantra. What is special about Lalitā is that she is endowed with complete sovereignty. Royal Powers. Lalitā rules over everyone who has existed, exists and will exist. Whatever deities and avatars come into existence, she rules over those fierce deities and avatars, everyone. Lalitā commands even that which does not yet exist. This happens for the sake of organization. She just bosses everyone around. In the end, her devotees need no rituals for any of their actions (even terrible ones). They simply command what must be done with a simple look or word. Surely these devotees are endowed with the best qualities and creation is incapable of being the object of their terrible fury. This sovereignty occurs for organizational reasons of the Divine Mother and should not be seen as devaluing other forms of the Divine Mother. But it is true that one will only get the necessary devotion to Lalitā after praying to other deities in crores of previous births. Otherwise, he cannot become interested in worshiping Lalitā, even if he tries. You can see this with your own eyes in today's times. Everyone knows Lalitā and praises her, but her devotees who succeed are rare in the three worlds.

Pranam Tripuraghna Ji, what is the significance of Sri Kameshwar mantras in Sri Vidya? Also, if for organizational reasons Lalita Amba rules over everyone, does she rule over Ma Kamkala Kali as well? Thank you very much!

Namaste Lucky. First I will tell you a secret about Kāmakalākāḻī and Lalitā. During the Day, Śrīdevī is Tripura Sundarī. During the Night, Śrīdevī is Kāmakalākāḻī. Divine Mother Lalitā is the young and benign one who makes all beings melt with the awakening of passion. She is the Queen of Eroticism and subdues everyone, she attracts everyone. Contrary to what you might think, Divine Mother Kāmakalākāḻī is more attractive than Lalitā Tripura Sundari. But although she is always arousing, she is also very fierce. Kāmakalākāḻī combines in herself the erotic and the terrific. She is unbearably arousing, and yet consumes voraciously. Rare devotees even manage to come close to Kāmakalākāḻī because Guhyakāli's permission is required. I had the opportunity to learn all of Guhyakāli's Mantras. It is something completely different from the rest of tantric scriptures. Guhyakāli makes it sound like everything you learned before was child's play. Guhyakāli Sadhana is a world apart. It is scientific and extremely powerful. Now I will talk about your another question. Lord Mahākāmeśvara and Śrīdevī are inseparable. They are Bindu and Yoni. Mahākāmeśvara Mantra is for understanding static superconsciousness, but this will inevitably lead also to understanding Śrīdevī who is dynamic superconsciousness. We make these classifications, but the genderless supreme personality of God is incomprehensible. We just split it into pieces to understand better. There never was a time when there was no Creation. Śrīdevī was not created by anyone, she has always existed along with the innumerable universes. Likewise, the one who is always complete and incomprehensible, Mahākāmeśvara, always existed and was also not created by anyone. There are people who say that Śiva created Śakti, but that is a lie. These two have always existed and were not created by anyone. They are self-existing and effulgent.

Namaste! If Kamakalakali is more attractive than Lalita, then why is she described as so ugly? "Her form is frightening because of her dangling tongue. All her thirty-two teeth are visible as her mouth is open. Her head is constantly shaking and her form is terrible. She drinks blood from the human heads hanging from her neck. She has a crooked shoulder. There is blood on her forehead. Her ear ornaments are hanging down, reaching her shoulders. She is wearing a huge white necklace made of human heads from which blood is constantly dropping. She is wearing a waist band made up of children's heads woven together with intestines. She has long sixteen arms. Her hands are adorned with human skulls. She is wearing bangles made of blood vessels of the dead...". What is the secret meaning of this description of the Goddess? Kamakalakali has a different form, and this Dhyana explains her deep form and her functions and powers? Kamakalakali is actually very beautiful and not so terrible, scary? To be able to worship Kamakalakali, one needs to have the permission of Guhyakali, and one should approach the worship of Guhyakali only with a practicing Guru? In the case of worshipping Kamakalakali and Guhyakali, is devotion and love in Uttaramnaya scientific language not enough, and strict rules of worship must be followed? For what purposes are such deities worshipped? Now you can buy the Mahakala Samhita, where 5 volumes are devoted to Guhyakali and 1 book to Kamakalakali, are the real mantras and ways of worshiping these goddesses described in this Samhita? I think knowledge of this level is hidden from the masses. Or are the real mantras and ways of worship described there, but to practice them you need the permission of Guhyakali, so the books are in the public domain, but there are practically no devotees of Kamakalakali or Guhyakali? Thank you for your reply, I think it would be great for all of us to know more about the glory, greatness of Kamakalakali and Guhyakali!

Namaste. It was with the help of the Kāmakalākālī Mantra that Rāvaṇa managed to kidnap Sītā and incapacitate Rāma. Now imagine the strength of Kāmakalākālī to be able to do this. Rāvaṇa prayed to Guhyakāli with two different Mantras to amplify his already enormous strength. Rāma prayed to Guhyakāli (Mahā Siddhikarāli) with a single sixteen-letter Mantra to obtain the power to kill Rāvaṇa. The power of this Mantra is so strong that it had to be locked away afterwards. The means of unlocking this Mantra must be learned directly from the Guru. Guhyakāli and Kāmakalākālī should be learned only from a Guru. It's very dangerous. It is more dangerous than Pratyaṅgirā because you never know what Guhyakāli will do and the Guru must protect you if something goes wrong. Since she is the biggest secret, she is always unpredictable. I will not comment further on Kāmakalākālī and Guhyakāli because it would only make sense if it were for a devotee of them. Remembering that these deities are one of the last to be worshipped. They are at the top.

Dear Tripuraghnaji, Is it possible to message you privately somewhere? I would love to hear more about Guhyakali. I am a devoteee and I have sincere questions regarding Her worship.

namaste / ayubowan tripuragna.. im from sri lanka. Im a buddhist. But im agreat devotee of hindu godess. While being a buddhist i worship and chant mantras of gods for long time. Dear tripuragna. I suffer alot due to enemies and diseases. I lost my loved only brother when he was 30. And my father recently. Both of them suffered. Only my mother survived. We have many enemies wherever we go. In this life we are so merciful towards others. But i dont know. Presently i chant narasimha mantra and durga mantra. Please put some light on me. If im lucky enough you will help me. May all the gods bless you.

Namaste Tripuraghna,

Amazing and wonderful ....thank you for sharing these advanced secrets with us which are not generally available in the public domain. We, Manblunder readers are Blessed by your presence and guidance. One last question on this topic. I have understood your example of Lalitha and Chaitanya Bhariavi....just wanted to check if we could also use Sri Raja Matangeshwari me....please clarify

Namaste Rohit. The answer to your question is quite simple. Lalita chose the most competent deities (Vac Devis) to describe herself and her battle formation. Everything described by the Sahasranama is the most efficient way. Therefore, what is taught in Lalita Sahasranama is superior to what is taught by other personalities. There are several ways to reach the same goal. The Vac Devis described the most effective way.

In fact, this is a very common misconception. There are so-called spiritual leaders who say: "why dedicate your whole life to one mantra, each mantra is a tool for a specific occasion, if you need to build a house you cannot build it with a hammer or a saw, only by combining different tools you can build a house." They worship different deities depending on the place, time, situation, and teach others to do so.

Don't believe what they say. This will only attract curses from these deities into your life. Which will be hard to get rid of afterwards. What I see are severe punishments from the deities in most cases. Then people don't know why they don't receive the fruits. The main rule that the devotee should know is that no deity went to bother him first, it was he who went to bother the deity with his selfish intentions. In the Shri Vidya system we say, "Maha Ganapati, Bala, Raja Shyamala and Maha Varahi, bring me closer to Lalita, it is an honor to get your help in this high aim of mine." If you are sincere, these deities will help you without a doubt. Or you can say, "Maha Varahi, I know you are none other than Queen Lalita herself, but your form as Dandanatha is dearest to my heart." It's a relationship of trust. The deities also feel betrayed and used. But they have the power to punish you if you annoy them for selfish reasons. They know what you really want before you say it. She will quickly punish you. So it is better that you approach the deities through the path of love and trust. If this is not possible, it would be better not to approach any deities.

I also feel todays generation can only enter one devotion state by start tasting all as this has become the norm.. I feel my generation was orphaned to spirituality without Dieties... Once they start knowing they will start loving One and will know they all are the Same with a Difference... They need to start gettting intoxicated by the Divine.

I am one of those people who doesn't believe every mantra is the same and that there is no harm chanting different mantras. The reason is simple, I don't believe upasana is a negotiation between devata and sadhaka. I believe the only reason any of us should chant a mantra is devotion. I can worship Mahaganapati at muladhara, Bala Tripura Sundari at svadistana, Durga at manipura, Matangi at Anahata, Dattatreya at vishudhi, shiva at ajña and Panchadashi at sahasrara. I think that if we make people feel in error for chanting the mantras they want to, then we have committed a great offense because no devotion to God is ever wasted. Mother loves me and I love her. How does she teach me to love her? Honestly this is why I am kaula... I love Devi by loving her creation. I love the children she has made. I am in awe of her beauty everywhere. In india they call her Bhuvaneshvari .In South America they call her Pachamana. Devi is delighted that we love her creation and that we don't claim to own any of it. So my advice is simple, don't put a cage around my children...

I thank you very much for your guidance on the spiritual path! I can read your answers many times and perceive them deeper and deeper in my heart, I am sure that they will bear good fruits later on if watered with sincere practice! You are so kind to tell us about Bala Tripura Sundari, Pratyangira, Raja Shyamala in such a selfless and beautiful way, thanks to you many questions about spiritual practice have been clarified! Relationships with deities have become much clearer. And most importantly, like a fruit on an open palm, it became clear to which deity I will give my heart and repeat the mantra. If it is the will of the Divine Mother, you can continue to help the spiritual seekers of this website by answering questions. Thank you very much again!

Namaste! I would like to ask how to pronounce the Bala Tripura Sundari mantra ऐं - क्लीं - सौः aiṁ - klīṁ - sauḥ. Is sauḥ pronounced like sauhu or like sauh, as in the Namah Shivaya mantra? Thank you.

Namaste. There is only one way to pronounce Visarga (ḥ). The pronunciation of "ha" and "ḥ" are completely different and this goes for any hymn or mantra. Visarga (ḥ) is pronounced by letting only inaudible air escape your mouth. The mental pronunciation will come naturally if you pronounce it correctly. Remember that true practice only begins when you are able to chant mentally and still.

Thank you, so you don't need to pronounce the letter before Visarga (ḥ), for example, Nam(a)ḥ(a), Viniyog(a)ḥ(a), Sa(u)ḥ(u)?

Namaste. To make it easier for you to understand. The pronunciation is similar to the Mantra "Na-maḥ Śi-vā-ya". The correct pronunciation of Visarga "ḥ" makes all the difference. People pronouncing it incorrectly changes the Mantra's meaning and the number of syllables, often changing the beneficial effects to destructive effects. The first thing a devotee must master is the alphabet (am̐ ām̐ im̐ īm̐ um̐ ūm̐ ṛm̐ ṝm̐ ḷm̐ ḹm̐ in̐ aim̐ om̐ aum̐ am̐ aḥ kam̐ kham̐ gam̐ gham̐ ṅam̐ cam̐ cham̐ jam̐ jham̐ ñam̐ ṭam̐ ṭham̐ ḍam̐ ḍham̐ ṇam̐ tam̐ tham̐ dam̐ dham̐ nam̐ pam̐ pham̐ bam̐ bham̐ mam̐ yam̐ ram̐ lam̐ vam̐ śam̐ ṣam̐ sam̐ ham̐ ḻam̐ kṣam). Common errors in the pronunciation of the alphabet are: "lam̐" and "ḻam̐" are not the same; in "ṛm̐ ṝm̐ ḷm̐ ḹm̐" the tongue does not touch anywhere in the mouth; "aḥ" is not "aha". And more..

Namaste Kiran. It's okay to briefly pay homage to other deities as a form of respect or for a greater long-term purpose. This is your choice. You can choose not to do this if you want. But what cannot happen is that you forget your Iṣṭadevata. Your Iṣṭadevata must always be in your memory, even worshiping other deities. You must see the other deities as different forms of your Iṣṭadevata. You will only worship other deities if it is for a greater purpose in the future. Only your Iṣṭadevata will be worshiped until the end of his life. Worshiping other deities must have some reason linked to your relationship with Iṣṭadevata. A serious devotee goes through the following stages with the Iṣṭadevata: first Devi becomes the devotee's Mother; then Devi becomes the friend of the devotee; then Devi becomes the devotee; then the devotee becomes "Saguṇanirguṇa", that is, he becomes incomprehensible (Parabrahma) and at the same time can assume the form of any other deity (Parabrahmamahiṣi). The intelligent devotee must know that he will become the deity he worships before reaching the final destination. That's what many people who worship aggressive deities don't understand. They end up discovering that they don't like the deity they worship but their power. This is not real devotion. They cannot change the temperament and specific tastes of a Divine Mother form. She is not a toy, you will become that form of her that you adore. So you should behave like her and cultivate the same nature as your Iṣṭadevata. In the end you will become Saguṇanirguṇabrahman, but you will not get there until you become your Iṣṭadevata. That's why most people don't reach the end goal. They are distracted by other deities and cannot become Iṣṭadevata herself. They are lost. There is a worse situation. There is the situation where the devotee does not accept the Iṣṭadeva's temperament and tastes. He cannot change Iṣṭadevata. If he thinks so he should worship another deity. If you don't see in your Iṣṭadevata someone that you would like to be, you have no real devotion for her, but are only interested in what she can offer you and that is selfish.

Namaste. Am I correct in understanding that when a devotee becomes one with his favorite form of God, he sees that all other forms of God are manifested through his Ishtadevata? And there is no longer any need to worship different forms, because his chosen Ishtadevata manifests like all other forms? Example: The sun has innumerable rays, each of us can follow our favorite ray, but when we reach the sun and become one with it, then we will see that all other rays are inseparable from the sun and one with it, and we could have come to it by another ray (worshipping another deity). Another example: If one worships Bala Tripura Sundari, first as a mother, then as a friend, and then becomes one with her, at that stage the devotee will see that all other deities manifest through Bala Tripura Sundari, that Bala is Durga, Lakshmi, Kali, Shiva, Ramachandra, Lalita, that She contains all forms and is all of them at the same time. Am I understanding this correctly? Tripuraghna Ji, you said that the last stage, when the devotee becomes one with the chosen deity, is in other words a kind of love for God, when God becomes the devotee's lover (Krishna, Shiva...) or beloved, only in such a relationship can both become one? When a devotee achieves unity with the chosen deity and all other deities manifest through him, for example, even Guhyakali manifests through Bala Tripura Sundari? Earlier you said that Guhyakali is beyond Parabrahman. Thank you very much for your answer! Realize how merciful and kind the Divine Mother is to her children, allowing us to choose the form of Her that we like best, but still, whatever form we choose, She will lead us to Her and manifest all other forms through it, and we will realize that we have not lost anything by not worshipping other forms.

Thank you for your response Tripuraghnaji. Asking this just to understand better. You said, "The intelligent devotee must know that he will become the deity he worships before reaching the final destination". My understanding here is, please correct me if I am wrong, if the devotee becomes the diety, won't the devotee cease to exist? Or will there be enough ego remaining just to sustain/preserve the worldly identity of the devotee prior to becoming the diety? Is this the same as the analogy of a river merging with the ocean and becoming the ocean while ceasing to exist as a river? Pranaams.

It is very important for you to answer this question for yourself. Maa Kali and Lalita are the same. The culture is different but they are the same. Don't be in a rush to decide either, and don't feel pressured to choose either or. But whichever you choose, please stay with Her. There are misconceptions in both traditions. People will make assumptions about Kali and Lalitambika. But I assure you, they can both be overwhelmingly loving or terrible. Both want your undivided attention. Both want your heart. Both are capable of fulfilling your need for love. Don't worry about anything else except, can you devote eternity to being in love with this Goddess?
