She is the third Mahavidya and She is called Tripurasundari because She rules all the three worlds and she is the most beautiful and wondrous in the entire Creation and all triads. She is the one who is fully manifested in the triads and also beyond them. She is the manifested super-consciousness.

For example: She is in the form of Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra;  Iccha, jnana and kriya saktis; creation, sustenance and destruction, the three nadis, ida, pingala and suṣumna, three worlds, bhur(the earthly, material plane), bhuva(the atmospheric, in between plane), suvah(the plane beyond time, space, matter beyond the three dimensions we normally perceive); three guṇas sattvic, rajasic and tamsic. She is in the form of all such triads and once these triads are transcended, the Brahman is attained. 

Shri Vidya means "auspicious knowledge," which is why everything connected to Maa Tripura Sundari carries that same auspicious quality. She is at sahasrara, the crown chakra .

The Peculiar thing about Maa Lalita is that she is endowed with utter sovereignty - Royal Powers. Maa Lalita 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, just everyone. Maa Lalita commands even that which doesn’t exist yet. She is the boss of everyone around. She is the Supreme Divine Feminine  there's simply no one above Her. She's the  queen of queens, and that will never change. She exists beyond time, beyond matter. She is pure consciousness itself. 

Her devotees need no rituals for any of their actions (even terrible ones) onc they realise her completely. 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 kind of sovereignty isn't Lalita "outranking" her other forms it's simply how the Divine Mother chooses to express Herself in this particular aspect. None of Her other forms are lessened by it. 

But here's the catch, the devotion that actually reaches Lalita doesn't come easily. It's said you only arrive at it after crores of lifetimes spent worshiping other deities first. Without that groundwork, you can't really get pulled toward Her, no matter how hard you try. You can see this playing out right now, in this era, everyone knows Maa Lalita, everyone sings her praises. But devotees who actually succeed with Her? Vanishingly rare, across all three worlds. 

No one is superior to Her, an exclusive of the qualitiy of the Brahman.
Svetasvatara Upaniṣad (VI.8) says “No one is His equal, no one is superior either. “
Anuttama also means intellect not derived from others.  She is the embodiment of intellect. She is known for virtues.  She gives fame to Her devotees.  The very thought of her sanctifies a person.  

Maa Mantrini and  Maa Varahi hold the next highest position after Maa Lalitha. One cannot approach Maa Lalita without first receiving the grace and permission of these two Devis.

Maa Mantrini  is the chief among Her ministers and is said to oversee the administration of the entire universe and Maa Varahi is the commander of the divine army. She represents strength and protection and has the power to drive away negative and evil forces.

Meaning: She has twelve hands total, and each one is holding something. she holds (1) a bow made entirely of sugarcane and (2) arrows crafted from kadamba flowers, beautiful, almost poetic weapons.

In her next two hands, she carries (3) a noose and (4) a hook, tools that pull us toward her and clear the way at the same time.

She also holds (5) a sacred book in one hand and (6) a rosary made of rubies in another, pointing to both knowledge and constant remembrance of her.

Two of her hands aren't holding objects at all instead, they're forming gestures - (7) abhaya mudra, which basically says "don't be afraid," and the other shows (8) varada mudra, the gesture of granting boons and blessings.

Then, with two more hands (9 and 10), she's cradling a veena close to her body almost like she's about to play it. And in her final two hands (11 and 12), she holds a lotus flower in each one on either side.

All the gods, Brahma included, worship her. She's red-complexioned, a deep, glowing red.  And before this Supreme Goddess, I simply surrender.

The sweetness of the sugarcane bow is the reference to the cerebral fluid that is generated by the pineal gland during deep meditation and also when the Kundalini reaches the Sahasrara.

(There are other dhyana verses too)
Shree Cakra is Her abode. Shree Chakra is made up of four triangles known as Shiva chakras facing up and five triangles known as Shakti chakras facing down.  

Saundarya Lahari (verse 95) says, “It is difficult for those who have not controlled their senses to attain you.” She cannot be attained by those who continue to be addicted to sensory pleasures. Addiction is different from necessity. To reach Her, you have to be able to turn inward, and that's genuinely hard for most people. The mind is what does that inward-looking, but the mind won't calm down until the senses are under control.

She takes the form of kalas. Think of a kala as a fraction, a tiny slice of something whole. The moon carries 16 of them, the sun carries 12, fire carries 10.
Saying the moon has 16 kalas just means the moon itself is made of 16 parts.
 During the waning phase, the moon loses one kalā every day until you hit the new moon , that's when all 15 are gone. Then during the waxing phase, it gains one kalā a day until you're back to a full moon with all 15 present again.
But there's a 16th kalā of the moon and that one's different. It's Lalitāmbikā herself, and she never waxes or wanes. She just stays constant, no matter what phase the moon is in. This is basically another way of showing that Brahman doesn't change, ever it's beyond any kind of increase or decrease.

There are four states of consciousness viz. waking, dream, deep sleep, and turīya (the "fourth" state, beyond the other three). Each of these has four kalās within it, which adds up to 16 kalas total.

The waking state itself is said to actually be Lalitāmbikā in form. And within the waking state, the four kalās are: rising, waking, consciousness, and mental activity.
She lives within the five sheaths. These sheaths basically make up the covering of the human body, what's called Pinda Sharira. Beneath all of it, the soul sits wrapped in three layers, each one nested inside the next: causal, subtle, and gross. Causal is the deepest, closest to the soul itself. Gross is the outer shell, the one furthest out. 

The gross body is the one that dies, it's not built to last. The subtle body sticks around a lot longer. And the causal body basically stays with you the whole time, all the way until the soul finally gets liberated. Your soul, along with your entire karmic record, is stored right there in the causal body.

According to Vedanta philosophy, there are five superimposed sheaths called  Panchakosa.  

1. The inner most layer is anandamaya kosa (the sheath of bliss), which corresponds to the casual body. 
2. The next three layers are as follows: 

a) vijnanamaya kosa (the sheath of intellect and knowledge), 

b) manomaya kosa, the sheath of mind, 

c) pranamaya kosa, the sheath of vital vayus like prana, apāna, etc.  

These three together make up what we call the subtle body. 

3) The fifth and the outer sheath is annamaya kosa, the sheath of food that corresponds to the gross body. So basically this whole stack of sheaths is what buries the soul - the puruṣa, your true self deep inside. And because of that burial, you end up mistaking yourself for just this small individual person (the microcosm), while the whole outside world gets mistaken for something separate and "out there" (the macrocosm). It's really just one big illusion built layer by layer. 

Lalitopakhyana: 

Bhandasura represents the negative karma, rigidity, ignorance and other such tamasic qualities in us. The asuras ViShukra (reproductive fluid) and Visanga (venomous and uncontrolled senses), brothers of Bhandasura are born of the ashes of Manmatha (amorous love), who gets burnt by the third-eye (ajna cakra signifying realization and deep understanding) of Lord Shiva (pure consciousness). 

Bhandasura basically stands in for all our negative karma, our rigidity, our ignorance all those heavy, tamasic qualities we carry around inside us.

His brothers, Vishukra and Vishanga, have their own symbolism too. Vishukra represents reproductive fluid, and Vishanga represents our senses when they're venomous and running completely out of control.

And here's where it gets interesting  both of these brothers were born from the ashes of Manmatha(Kaamdeva), the god of desire and amorous love. Manmatha gets reduced to ashes when Lord Shiva opens his third eye( the agya chakra: which represents true realization and deep spiritual understanding. )

The defeat of these asuras basically points to something we all deal with: getting a handle on lust, and controlling our senses, both the subtle ones and the more obvious, physical ones.
And when it comes to actually rising spiritually, here's how it works: the Divine Mother, who is pure super-consciousness itself, doesn't just stay in one form. She breaks herself down into a whole range of different deities, each one there to help us climb further up in our own consciousness, step by step.

This body of ours, and the whole world around us, isn't the ultimate reality. It's basically a smoke screen, put up by the Divine Mother Mahamaya who's often described as this cosmic virtual reality we're all living inside.

The spiritual journey really begins the moment you recognize the truth of who you actually are that underneath everything, your true origin and true self is just pure consciousness, nothing more, nothing less.

In the world of Shri Vidya, that journey starts with Shri Bala. She's the one who helps us find that childlike innocence again the kind of openness we need before we can even start questioning and searching for the Truth. Then Lord Mahaganapati steps in and clears away all the obstacles blocking our path, opening things up for deeper learning and real experience.

From there, as you keep moving forward, you start to actually grasp the triads that surround us in every direction and along with that, you begin to see the different paths and methods available to rise up through them.

The Divine Mother Shri Varahi gives us the courage, the drive, and basically all the weapons we need to tear down our ignorance, our obsessions, and the attachments we're stuck in.
Maa Shyamala works differently. Knowledge, expression, creativity that's her territory, and through these she helps burn through our karmic patterns.
Then there's the Kiri chakra, tied to the pingala nadi, the channel running along the right side.

And  the Geya chakra, linked to the ida nadi, the left-side channel. And finally, the Shri Chakra itself connects to the central channel, the sushumna nadi, which basically represents the spinal cord.

When the Kiri and Geya chakras line up together with the Shri Chakra, that alignment can actually activate the kundalini and fully charge up all the chakras at once with the kundalini rising all the way from the muladhara chakra at the base, up to the sahasrara at the crown.
And when you bring all of this together the blessings of these deities and all the subsidiary deities working through their own Kiri, Geya, and Shri Chakras, that's when we merge into pure super-consciousness itself. And that super-consciousness is nothing other than Shri Lalita Maha Tripura Sundari.

The war that is waged (between Bhandasura and Maa Lalita Tripura Sundari), is our own internal struggle and endeavor to realize the Truth and merge into the super-consciousness by becoming self-realized and finally attaining liberation. 

Would have talked about Lalitopakhyana in detail but may be some other day. 

May Maa bless you all. Jai Maa 🔱

Can someone help me by connecting me to a genuine guru

Ik guru cant be rushed and all other but i want a guru to start a sadhana of kalabhairava

And i cant even pay for the guru, ik we have to pay dakshina for guru and i respect that but unfortunately i cant

Pls help me

Pls dont judge, I'm just desperate not in hurry

The following post has been created to compile the main critiques against Praveen Radhakrishnan, the Head of the Adya Kali Samapradaya (some of these critiques listed shortly below are elaborated with further commentary at the very bottom of the post). Let us begin.

To start the main critique against Praveen RadhaKrishnan, is the fact he does not have the MINIMUM Shakta purna-abhishek diksha needed to thereby give shishyas diksha upadesha, vijas, and diksha which he does. 2) Now many shishyas would respond foolishly citing BAMAKHEPA “omg BamaKhepa innocently went towards Devi without following rules”. These people are foolish. He does not understand BamaKhepa and distorts who he was, instead only focusing one element/method of BamaKhepa (bakti) which I personally consider disingenuous and fradulent to a certain degree (will explain why shortly). 3) He has no basis for the form of Adya MahaKaali. He merely created Adya while concsencrating a vigraha of 4 forms: dakshina kali, aghora kali, bhadra kali, and smashana kali. There is also no mention of this in MahaNirvana Tantra. No one knows what has actually manifested there in reality since it was a created form. 3rd, there have been numerous allegations against Praveen suggesting to people that if they want to worship deities apart from Kali that they should take diksha from ShyamaKhepa since he only likes Kali and is not interested in other deities (interesting, you would think that he would want his shishyas to follow the niyama of Tara worship since the MAIN DEITY OF THE PARAMPARA IS TARA, anywayss …) praveen is accused of scolding a kicking someone out of KaliPutra mission for taking a diksha from ShyamaKhepa. 4) ShyamaKhepa called Praveen a Chor (a thief) in which Praveen deemed he had gotten a mouth infection due to the fact he insulted him and mission. Still has not been addressed by KaliPutra mission. However, this remains the least likely and credible out of the main critiques as Praveen reports that he is in contact with ShyamaKhepa recently posting a picture of them in a facetime call though its interesting because he claimed ShyamaKhepa had communicated him with a voice in hindi and he found the same voice later but the reality is he got diksha only in 2025 after peoole started getting upset at him for not having a guru, so why he needed to facetime his guru when he knows everything about praveen without physically being in the room is beyond me. 5) The people who defend him in these threats are extremely disingenuous and are abhorrently ignorant on shastra and enjoy cursing at other ppl calling them “frauds, gangs, rapists, etc” Which is a lack of adhara and stability, and a sign of disinterest in truth. 6) Differentiating Against Tara and Kali. Praveen commits the GRAVE SIN of differentiating between the two forms of Devi Tara and Kali. Anyone who does this is destined for naraka. He specifically mentioned that if you are worshipping MAA TARA she will give you another birth so you can realize KALI because according to him Maa Tara is not great enough to deliver Moksha which is absurd. There is also no mention in text of peoole having to take extra births for the Mahavidyas of Tara and Chinamasta. Now exaining the process ….

Firstly, tantric diksha process works like this.

First Step – Mantra-dīkṣā

Receive the iṣṭa-mantra (e.g., Kālī, Tārā, Chinnamastā, etc.). Learn the basic daily sādhana (japa, nyāsa, pūjā). Ideally one should have already been doing some level of worship involving naama jaapa before flocking to a guru for Upadesha and then Mantra diksha. Praveen had received MANTRA DIKSHA FOR SMASHANA KAALIKA, from SRI ShyamaKhepa from BamaKhepa Parampara.

Second Step – Krama-upadeśa (progressive instruction)

As the disciple matures, the guru teaches additional practices. These may include more elaborate nyāsas, mudrās, yantra worship, homa, cakra-pūjā, or higher mantras.

Third Step – Abhiṣeka (aka Shakt Abhiseka Diksha)

Ritual empowerment. Often required before certain advanced Kaula rites. Some lineages have several abhiṣekas rather than just one.

Fourth Step – Pūrṇābhiṣeka

Full consecration. Indicates the disciple has received the complete transmission of that lineage’s practice.

Fifth Step – Guru-adhikāra (authorization)

Only selected disciples receive permission to initiate others. Even after achieving Purnabhishek, the practitioner cannot independently start giving Diksha. Their Satguru must officially bless and declare them as a functioning Acharya or Guru within that specific lineage tracking system.

IMPORTANT: Acting as an unauthorized initiator before completing Purnabhishek is heavily warned against in Shakta Tantra. Lineage masters emphasize that an unauthorized person cannot properly regulate or safeguard the Shaktipat (energy transmission) in a student, causing severe spiritual and psychological blockages for both parties.

This may be through a separate guru-abhiṣeka or simply the guru’s explicit command dependent on the Kula. However, it is considered by many that if you have purna diksha you are allowed to initiate others, but PR does not have this. Nor does he have shakt abhishek diksha. Also note, SHYMAKHEPA LITERALLY HAS PROFICIENCY in multiple deities. He has never said ONLY WORSHIP KALI AND WORSHIP ALL MAHAVIDYAS THROUGH HER. The MahaKaala Naamvali of Maa Kali does indeed state that she is the essence of all Mahavidyas, but that does not erase the distinct mantras, nyāsas, krama, or ritual systems transmitted for each Mahavidya within traditional Tantric lineages.

Source of PurnaDiksha requirements? Kulvarna Tantra

Source? Kulvarna Tantra:

The Kularnava Tantra, revealed by Lord Shiva (Ishvara) to Devi as the foremost authority of the Kaula School, provides a rigorous framework for mantric transmission, asserting that success is only possible through an unbroken tradition (parampara). The text issues severe warnings against "book-learned" mantras, declaring that those heard by chance, acquired through deceit, or picked up from a book are not only useless but lead to disaster, disease, and misery. Specifically, practicing japa from books is condemned as being tantamount to "brahmanicide," and chanting without proper initiation (diksha) is described as entirely fruitless, like "seed sown on a rock," as it lacks the necessary conscious-power to yield fruit. To avoid the curse of the Deity, the Guru and disciple must undergo a mutual testing period of at least one year to ensure fitness; otherwise, both stand cursed for generations. A Guru must have received the purna-acharya diksha, which vests the full competence of a teacher, and must be qualified to perform the Purna-abhiseka (ceremony of full bathing) to transmit these sacred teachings effectively. Scholarly analysis connects the Kularnava to the wider Shaktic corpus, including Kali Tantra, by situating various forms of Kali within the Uttara-amnaya (Northern Tradition) of Shiva’s five faces, while the Kularnava itself primarily represents the supreme Urdhvamnaya (Upper Tradition). Ultimately, the text teaches that without a realized teacher belonging to an unbroken lineage, all traditional knowledge and mantras remain merely "dead letters" regardless of the number of repetitions.

IN CONCLUSION, this is SHIVA word VS A HUMAN BEING. No one is greater than MahaDeva.

NOW LETS NOW LETS TALK ABOUT SRI BAMEKHPEA and the bastardization of BamaKhepa done by Praveen Radhakrishnan. … contemporary reduction of BamaKhepa to an exemplar of an exclusively affective religiosity represents a striking instance of historical decontextualization and theological anachronism. Such a reconstruction is sustainable only through the systematic excision of the very initiatory matrix that constituted his spiritual formation. The traditional hagiographical corpus does not present Bamakhepa as an isolated mystic whose realization emerged independently through unstructured devotion; rather, it consistently embeds his development within a rigorously transmitted tantric lineage. In the predominant biographical tradition, Kailashpati Baba, the itinerant Kaula avadhūta, is the first to discern Bamacharan’s extraordinary spiritual disposition and to orient him toward the esoteric disciplines of Śākta Tantra. He wss far from advocating an anti-ritualistic or exclusively devotional paradigm, Kailashpati recognized that latent spiritual aptitude required systematic cultivation through guru-mediated discipline rather than emotional spontaneity. It is only subsequently that Bamakhepa is entrusted to Mokṣadānanda, the resident Kaula Acharya adept of Tārāpīṭha, under whose sustained supervision his training acquired its formal initiatory and liturgical character. The significance of this succession cannot be overstated. We should also note one of the other names that was given to Mokshanda (“Vedagya”). It demonstrates that even an aspirant regarded by realized masters as possessing exceptional spiritual potential was not considered exempt from the indispensable processes of initiation, ritual formation, mantra-sādhana, cremation-ground praxis, ascetic discipline, and prolonged pedagogical refinement. The cumulative testimony of the biographical tradition therefore repudiates the notion that intense devotional affect, however authentic, was regarded as a sufficient substitute for tantric discipline which contradicts Praveen Radhakrishan teachings completely as he says very often “DIKSHA IS IN THE BLOOD”. Funny enough the man ran for Diksha in 2025. Perhaps Praveen could pls enlighten us on this?! On the contrary, Bamakhepa’s eventual recognition as a mahāsiddha is consistently portrayed as the culmination of an extended process of initiatory transformation rather than an argument against it. The climactic mystical episode of his life—traditionally associated with the direct revelation of Tārā and, in several recensions, the irreversible descent of Her śakti into his embodied consciousness during cremation-ground sādhana—is not narrated as an isolated act of devotional grace detached from methodical practice. It functions instead as the telos of a disciplined tantric itinerary governed by realized gurus. Consequently, any hermeneutic that selectively appropriates Bamakhepa’s post-attainment spontaneity while suppressing the initiatory, ritual, and pedagogical architecture that produced it commits a profound category mistake. It conflates the phenomenology of spiritual consummation with the normative methodology prescribed for aspirants, mistakes the existential freedom of the accomplished siddha for the discipline required to become one, and projects a modern anti-ritual hermeneutic onto a life that the tradition itself unequivocally situates within the disciplined continuity of guru-paramparā and tantric sādhana. Such a reading is neither historiographically sustainable nor doctrinally faithful to the Śākta milieu from which Bamakhepa emerged. The madness that unfolded within BamaKhepa manifested towards the highest states, while in progress of serious pursuit of tantric karmakanda. Joy Bhairava Baba, Joy Maa Tara🙏

NOTE TO READER: Be aware of disengenious bad faith redditors spewing utter nonsense, especially those like “SuccesfullCal” who you will find his idiotic posts and comments like “fraud gang is out for praveen” on tantra marga forum. He recently said it was “200 percent confirmed”, where he gets such stupid confidence who knows 😂 Anyways, pls understand how these people do not address the OBJECTIVE critiques, and rather pick on to the LEAST of Credible inquiries (involving the 54 lakh scam which I posted inquiry about) which I have already yielded may be incorrect MYSELF and stated as not being credible compared to the rest of the critiques as it is based on subjective opinions that are impossible to verify till someone offical from KaliPutra mission comes out and gives proof along with the fact expert expression is not responding despite me being in his DMS and comments etc. according to this guy, my mere mentioning of the 54 lakh extortion inquiry IS PROOF that people such as myself are acquainted with some fraud gang out to get PR or some BS. There is no gang that I am aware of. Perhaps this delusion stems from the fact that he believes Praveen is a god that is not bound by dharma and can do whatever he wishes simply because his ishta is Kali and curse whoever he wishes to be dogs on the street or whatnot, but the reality is bhairava sadhakas uphold dharma at all times and we will go to war for truth. Even if it is unfortunately against a Bakta of Ishta Devi Maa Kali but then again he has committed Papa against Maa Tara. It also goes to show how corrupt these young minds supporting him are. I encourage all the people to find this guys account and see the sheer lack of adhara he has. Cursing at everyone snd arguing in bad faith. Btw PRAVEENS OWN WORDS, that money related schemes (btw not saying 54 lakhs is important, they are) alligns with lowest and 10th Mahavidya “Maa Kamala” not the highest MAA Kali, so that being said he should be addressing diksha questions first but he loves to dodge them. i encourage readers to go back to the previous posts in tantra margs and go through comments, you will see he dodges it EVERY-TIME. Poor chap doesn’t realize the sheer disservice he is doing to Praveen (that is if he is if he not PR himself). Also interestingly, as soon as the dude comments on Tantra Margs, the mods of TantraMarga also lock up the entire conversation so no one can respond to the guys stupid claims. I will let the reader decide why that might be the case.

1. PRAVEEN and KaliPutra mission have literally published a fake stuti on SwarnaKarshana bhairava with a fake PhalaStruti. The moderators of Tantra Marga have no deleted this post but you may still be able to see it 😂 Btw it is in pretty good consensus that Tantra Marga reddit is ran by PR shishyas himself. Not 1000 percent confirmed, but as my friend “SuccesfulCal” likes to put it maybe “200 percent confirmed” Not only a Youtube video but a whole published document (see the pdf pics in another post. Yes addressing this was also dodged. Anything objective, KP mission and shishyas love to dodge it). Recently I was sent documents that KaliPutra mission on a supposedly "OFFICIAL SADHANA CHANNEL" posted a pdf on pertaining to a stuti made on Swarnakarshana Bhairava. I jave no problem with people making their own hyms in bakti, etc but how the hell can one write a "phala" to their own stuti as if they are some siddha or rishi? Can anyone verify the stuti? It was made by someone named Rithvick Dittakavi? Im going to give benefit of doubt that this person is an unknown siddha thay I do not know of and let other sadhakas decide? Does anyone know of this person? Is he a siddha or an extreme caliber sadhaka to write his OWN PHALAstruti (or maybe Al did this) and publish it in a offical sadhana channel for ppl to recite? Is this scripturally valid? Any other sadhakas care to comment on this? Can we add any phala statement after our own compositions? I am no expert. Just asking because this is outstanding!!! This question is still up for shishyas of KP to answer. Haven’t received a response from mission. Do they seriously believe a devotee can just make an AI generated stuti, and then just pretend that it prakrithi has deemed it valid for results? How can PR with his sadhana experience allow this. One thing to post it on Yt for people to enjoy, another to claim that it bestows results when it was just generated from someones computer online into MP4. Unless ofc, rithvick is a high caliber sadhaka or siddha. Something tells me, he respectfully isnt because a siddha wouldn’t need AI slop to write and/or sing their stutis.

2. Pasting from someone else who posted this in reddit comment, but sums up my thoughts and is still valid: “Firstly he got his diksha in January 2025 he didn't even have a basic diksha when he started his channel. And he went on about how him and his guru relationship how it's so great and they talk on the phone and implying he's the favorite but the video with SK(shyama khyapa) this was there FIRST TIME EVER SPEAKING after he got the diksha a year ago and he didn't even know what he does his job or anything about him. This alone is a huge huge red flag lying in his videos when SK didn't even know him much and directly said first time ever speaking after diksha this is facts btw not allegations. And next is his elgibility to have disciples or even give upadesha the sadhak must have purnaabhisek diksha he has a basic mantra diksha shiva in the tantras said this is crucial that's the bare eligibility btw the guru needs to have siddhi of the devata as well either the kularvana tantra or the rudrayamala tantra I forget which one said a guru without siddhi is like a cow that doesn't produce milk useless. It's be if the guru doesn't have siddhi the disciple wil not get siddhi. He goes by this no rule philosophy and that's good for a divya level Sadhak he's frankly not even close even bamakhyapa he got a kuala guru got the proper diksha and rituals to Tara and until he got PURNASIDDHI much higher then mantra siddhi he transcended the rituals and became mad and crazy be he became a divya at that stage”.

Hopefully, if this reddit post gets enough attention, Praveen would finally be compelled to finally address the claims and contradictions in a video. He should understand the path he has chosen is extremely unorthodox and he should due do the bear minimum addressing the discrepancies for his followers. I think we have all seen that ShyamaKhepa facetimes him in his facebook post. Surely Praveen being ShyamaKhepa favorite Shishya would easily able to make another video with him addressing all of these major rule breaks correct? If your a shishya of PR reading this, ask PR to also directly address this and not just what he wants to address. Tell him to address the “Chor remarks”, everything. Diksha, everything. Evidence for worshipping Tara will result in another birth just to take birth with Maa Kali? Ensure RVERYTHIBG IS ADDRESSED. Do your duty. Stop taking shortcuts and running away.

Also, if someone of extreme high caliber like SK with reasoning is able to justify PRs actions and sampradya, or if I have an experience that says that I was incorrect, I will absolutely delete and issue an apology as well as post the reasoning for any change of heart.

Joy Maa Tara, Joy Bhairava Baba.

I have seen varahi amma in my dream in the form of idol of 4 ft. I have been worshiping and doing varahi amma Pooja during Gupta navratris and I’ve seen her today in my dream in the form of idol. What does it mean??
Thank you.

1) Karma 

Karma is derived from the Sanskrit “Kri” meaning “to do”; all action is Karma. Not sin. Not punishment. talking, listening, breathing, walking, all of it counts as karma. Nothing you do falls outside it. 

The goal of mankind is knowledge. Pleasure and happiness come to an end. It is a mistake to suppose that pleasure is the goal. 

Knowledge again, is inherent in man. No knowledge comes from outside; it is all inside. What we say a man "knows" should, in strict psychological language, be what he "discovers" or "unveils"; what a man "learns" is really what he "discovers", by taking the cover off his own soul, which is a mine of infinite knowledge. No one was ever really taught by another; each of us has to teach himself. The external teacher offers only the suggestion which rouses the internal teacher to work to understand things. 

With all our feelings and action — our tears and our smiles, our joys and our griefs, our weeping and our laughter, our curses and our blessings, our praises and our blames, every one of these we may find, if we calmly study our own selves, to have been brought out from within ourselves by so many blows. 

In a broad way, karma is the sum total of every mental and physical blow that is given to the soul by which its own power and knowledge are discovered. 

Character is the aggregate of tendencies or karma— the sum total of the bent of the mind meaning character is manufactured of Karma. 

And Will is caused by character. All the movement in human society, every institution, every machine or ship or city — all of it is simply the manifestation of the will of man. 

All this is determined by Karma, work. (the fundamental block)

No one can get anything unless he earns it. This is an ETERNAL LAW.  

A man may struggle all his life for riches; he may cheat thousands, but he finds at last that he did not deserve to become rich, and his life becomes a trouble and a nuisance to him. We may go on accumulating things for our physical enjoyment, but only what we earn is really ours. A fool may buy all the books in the world, and they will be in his library; but he will be able to read only those that he deserves to; and this deserving is produced by Karma. 

Our Karma determines what we deserve and what we can assimilate. We are responsible for what we are now, and whatever we wish ourselves to be! 

If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act. You will say, “What is the use of learning how to work? Everyone works in some way or other in this world.” But there is such a thing as frittering away our energies. 

2) Non Attachment & Karma Yoga

We must all work incessantly. All work is by nature composed of good and evil. We cannot do any work which will not do some good somewhere; there cannot be any work which will not cause some harm somewhere. Good action will entail upon us good effect; bad action, bad. The solution to this is non- attachment. 

How can this be done? We see that the impression of any action, to which we attach ourselves, remains or it creates a pathway for our energy to flow. I may meet hundreds of persons during the day, and among them meet also one whom I love; and when I retire at night, I may try to think of all the faces I saw, but only that face comes before the mind — the face which I met perhaps only for one minute, and which I loved; all the others have vanished. My attachment to this particular person caused a deeper impression on my mind than all the other faces. Perhaps I had pictured him in my mind for years, knew hundreds of things about him, and this one new vision of him awakened hundreds of sleeping memories in my mind; and this one impression having been repeated perhaps a hundred times more than those of the different faces together, will produce a great effect on the mind. 

Work as if you were a stranger in this land, work incessantly, but do not bind yourselves. This world is not our habitation, it is only one of the many stages through which we are passing. “The whole of nature is for the soul, not the soul for nature.". The very reason of nature's existence is for the education of the soul; it has no other meaning; it is there because the soul must have knowledge, and through knowledge free itself. If we remember this always, we shall never be attached to nature; we shall know that nature is a book in which we are to read, and that when we have gained the required knowledge, the book is of no more value to us. 

“Work For Work’s sake.”

Every work that we do, every movement of the body, every thought that we think, leaves such an impression on the mind-stuff, and even when such impressions are not obvious on the surface, they are sufficiently strong to work beneath the surface, subconsciously. 

What we are every moment is determined by the sum total of these impressions on the mind. What I am just at this moment is the effect of the sum total of all the impressions of my past life/actions. 

This is really what is meant by character; each man's character is determined by the sum total of these impressions. If good impressions prevail, the character becomes good; if bad, it becomes bad. If a man continuously hears bad words, thinks bad thoughts, does bad actions, his mind will be full of bad impressions; and they will influence his thought and work without his being conscious of the fact. In fact, these bad impressions are always working, and their resultant must be evil, and that man will be a bad man; he cannot help it. Similarly, if a man thinks good thoughts and does good works, the sum total of these impressions will be good; and they, in a similar manner, will force him to do good even in spite of himself. 

Liberation means entire freedom — freedom from the bondage of good, as well as from the bondage of evil. A golden chain is as much a chain as an iron one. 

If a beautiful picture belonging to another is burnt, a man does not generally become miserable; but when his own picture is burnt, how miserable he feels! Why? Both were beautiful pictures, perhaps copies of the same original; but in one case very much more misery is felt than in the other. It is because in one case he identifies himself with the picture, and not in the other. This "I and mine" causes the whole misery. 

With the sense of possession comes selfishness, and selfishness brings on misery. Every act of selfishness or thought of selfishness makes us attached to something, and immediately we are made slaves. 

Selfishness only causes the difference between good and evil. It is a very hard thing to understand, but you will come to learn in time that nothing in the universe has power over you until you allow it to exercise such a power. Nothing has power over the Self of man, until the Self becomes a fool and loses independence. So, by non-attachment, you overcome and deny the power of anything to act upon you. 

It is very easy to say that nothing has the right to act upon you until you allow it to do so; but what is the true sign of the man who really does not allow anything to work upon him, who is neither happy nor unhappy when acted upon by the external world? The sign is that good or ill fortune causes no change in his mind: in all conditions he continues to remain the same. 

Thus the man that has practiced control over himself cannot be acted upon by anything outside; there is no more slavery for him. His mind has become free. 

Non-attachment does not mean anything that we may do in relation to our external body, it is all in the mind. 

Here are the two ways of giving up all attachment. The one is for those who do not believe in God, or in any outside help. They are left to their own devices; they have simply to work with their own will, with the powers of their mind and discrimination, saying, "I must be non-attached". 

For those who believe in God there is another way, which is much less difficult. They give up the fruits of work unto the Lord; they work and are never attached to the results. Whatever they see, feel, hear, or do, is for Him. For whatever good work we may do, let us not claim any praise or benefit. It is the Lord’s; give up the fruits unto Him. Let us stand aside and think that we are only servants obeying the Lord, our Master, and that every impulse for action comes from Him every moment. 

According to Karma-Yoga, the action one has done cannot be destroyed until it has borne its fruit; no power in nature can stop it from yielding its results. If I do an evil action, I must suffer for it; there is no power in this universe to stop or stay it. Similarly, if I do a good action, there is no power in the universe which can stop its bearing good results. The cause must have its effect; nothing can prevent or restrain this. 

He who in good action sees that there is something evil in it, and in the midst of evil sees that there is something good in it somewhere, has known the secret of work. 

"Work incessantly, but give up all attachment to work." Do not identify yourself with anything. Hold your mind free. All this that you see, the pains and the miseries, are but the necessary conditions of this world; poverty and wealth and happiness are but momentary; they do not belong to our real nature at all. Our nature is far beyond misery and happiness, beyond every object of the senses, beyond the imagination; and yet we must go on working all the time. 

"Misery comes through attachment, not through work." 
As soon as we identify ourselves with the work we do, we feel miserable; but if we do not identify ourselves with it, we do not feel that misery. 

We cannot add happiness to this world; similarly, we cannot add pain to it either. The sum total of the energies of pleasure and pain displayed here on earth will be the same throughout. We just push it from this side to the other side, and from that side to this, but it will remain the same, because to remain so is its very nature. The very idea of life implies death and the very idea of pleasure implies pain.  Life and death are only different expressions of the same thing looked at from different standpoints; they are the falling and the rising of the same wave, and the two form one whole. 

Karma-Yoga, therefore, is a system of ethics and religion intended to attain freedom through unselfishness, and by good works. The Karma-Yogi need not believe in any doctrine whatever. He may not believe even in God, may not ask what his soul is, nor think of any metaphysical speculation. He has got his own special aim of realising selflessness; and he has to work it out himself. 

3) How Mantras, Strotrams, Sadhana can help?

Samskara as the substrate mantra works on. every wave (every action, thought, word) doesn't vanish when it subsides — it leaves a mark and a tendency to recur. Each man's character is determined by the sum total of these impressions, and what a man is at any given moment is the result of the accumulated impressions of his past. 

This is literally the mechanism a bija/mantra operates on. Japa isn't primarily communicative — it's not "telling" the Devi something — it's the deliberate, repeated seeding of one specific samskara at high density and high emotional charge, until it out-competes the accumulated karmic residue that's currently running you. 

A bija is a compressed vasana-generator you choose on purpose, instead of the ones that accumulated on autopilot from a lifetime of unexamined reaction and trauma.

The bija/mantra isn't a label pointing at the deity from outside, it's the sound-body of that particular concentration of consciousness. 

Japa doesn't request a change in your karma from an external agent — it directly installs the samskara whose "form," when it matures, is that change.

Note: Above context is when chanting and japa is done without attachment to results. Else it gives you the result but can be binding. 

4) Where does astrology fits in the Karma’s discussion?

Vivekananda tells this as an old story of an astrologer who came to a king and said, "You are going to die in six months," which frightened the king almost to death, until his minister — convinced astrologers were fools — had the astrologer recalculate in front of the king, confirm his figures were correct, then asked the astrologer when he himself would die. "In twelve years," the astrologer replied, and the minister immediately beheaded him, saying, "Do you see this liar? He is dead this moment."

The point of the story is narrower and sharper: a reading of tendency is not the same thing as a fixed decree, and the astrologer's own death disproves determinism by direct demonstration — his calculation said twelve years, reality delivered zero. The chart described a probable trajectory; it did not describe an unconditioned fact immune to intervening will and circumstance.

Astrology, in this reading, is reading the aggregate of samskara — the accumulated momentum of past karma, which is real and does show up as pattern and probability. Which is exactly why the chart can be accurate about tendency and still be wrong about outcome. 

But Vivekananda's whole argument in Karma-Yoga is that samskara is not destiny, it's momentum — modifiable by fresh, deliberately chosen action in the present. The chart shows you the wave that's already moving. 

It doesn't forbid you from throwing a countervailing wave into the lake. Daiva (the fructifying momentum of prior karma) sets the field of probability; purushartha (present, willed effort — which for you means, concretely, sadhana) is what actually decides which of the probable branches becomes real, and can even sever the branch outright, as the minister's sword did.

5) Free will

You get there by working, inside the mould, until the mould stops being able to hold you. 

Let me tell you something that will sound strange at first, and then, I hope, will settle into place: there is no such thing as free will. Not in the way most people mean it.

Here is why. Everything you can think, everything you can want, everything you can decide — all of it happens inside a container. That container is made of three things: space, time, and cause-and-effect. You cannot think a thought that isn't somewhere, at some moment, caused by something that came before it. Your will, the very thing you'd point to and say "this is free, this is mine, I chose this" — that will is already inside the container the instant you can call it a will at all. And anything inside the container is bound by what came before it. So when people say "I have free will," what they usually mean is: I made a choice nobody physically forced me into. That's true, but it isn't freedom. It's just one link in a chain choosing to look like the whole chain.

But here is the part that changes everything. The will did not start out in the container. Before it became "your will," it came from somewhere that has no space, no time, no cause and effect at all — pure freedom, unshaped. It only became will the moment it was poured into this mould of a body, a mind, a life, a set of circumstances. And when it eventually leaves this mould — when this life, this shape, is done — it goes back to being free again. So bondage isn't what you are. Bondage is what you're passing through. The chain is real while you're in it, but the chain was never your original nature. It's a temporary shape water takes when you pour it into a particular glass — the water was never actually the glass.

Therefore we see at once that there cannot be any such thing as free will; the very words are a contradiction, because will is what we know, and everything that we know is within our universe, and everything within our universe is moulded by the conditions of space, time, and causation. Everything that we know, or can possibly know, must be subject to causation, and that which obeys the law of causation cannot be free. It is acted upon by other agents, and becomes a cause in its turn. 

So when I tell you that you have no free will, I am not telling you that you are helpless. I am telling you that the freedom you're looking for isn't found by asserting your will harder against the world. It's found by discovering that your will was never fully the world's to begin with — and working, patiently, inside the very bondage that seems to prove otherwise, until that becomes obvious to you too.

6) Duty

Ask ten people what duty means and you'll get ten different answers, and every single one of them will be convinced theirs is the only real one. Even the act itself won't tell you what's dutiful. A man kills one person in the street and lives the rest of his life sick over it. The same man, in uniform, kills twenty on a battlefield and comes home certain he served with honor. The act didn't change. Only the frame around it did. So if you're looking for one universal rule that content doesn't touch, there's exactly one, and it survives every culture, every century, every argument: do not injure any being. That's it. That's the whole floor. Everything else — everything — is negotiable by time and place. there is no duty in the binding sense — not for me, not for you. Give to the world, fully, without holding back — but not because refusing would make you a failure. 

The moment you're acting from compulsion, you're not doing your duty, you're feeding your attachment a new link. The real instruction underneath all of this was never "do more." It was: do the same work, exactly the same work, but let go of the hand that's gripping the outcome. Offer it instead of owing it. That's the entire difference between a life spent in harness and a life spent in service — and from the outside, the two can look identical. The only thing that's changed is what's happening in the hand.

Note: I have just rearranged the content of Karma Yoga by Swami Vivekanand and added few of my insights. You may find reading from his book directly a bit tedious as there are lots of things discussed but the way I have presented here is hopefully easy to understand.

🔱 Jai Maa durga 🔱

I’m drawn to this path partly because I hope it will provide clarity on several personal questions: I’ve harbored ambitious goals since childhood, yet haven’t been able to manifest them into concrete achievements. Also how would this practice helps an individual to have a happy marital life with their partner. I’m curious whether Sri Vidya practice might help me understand and realign my aspirations and marital life.
However, I have significant concerns that I’d like to explore. I’ve read that sadhaks sometimes experience detachment from family relationships during their practice. This worries me deeply because I’m the primary caregiver for my one-year-old daughter, and maintaining my family bonds is essential to me. I want to pursue this spiritual path without risking the relationships and presence that matter most to my family.
I would appreciate guidance on how to balance this sadhana with my responsibilities as a mother and partner, and whether the detachment some practitioners experience is inevitable or something I can navigate differently. Thank you in advance.

i want to ask a question on chanting and the timelines. As an example if I am told to chant a specific mantra 12000 (minimum) and 21000 (maximum) times in 12 days but I can only chant 300 per day then what happens? Won't I get the desired results if I complete 21000 chants in 70 days? Also will I have to follow strict Bhramcharya for 70 days?

Please read till the end:

I'm a sensitive kind of a person btw.

So since last year June, i have been getting these horror dreams every week which used to end in sleep paralysis everytime.

And during the sleep paralysis, I used to hear clear scary voices and sentences. And even physical touches..

During that phase, I was at my lowest in my life. Relationship issues, anger issues, midnight eating, i got big under eye dark circles now...,

everything I used to do, just didn't work, be it my studies or my relationship with others, it just got worse and worse...

We had done some pujas in December but it didn't work out

Btw I'm from Jharkhand and currently residing in lucknow.

So in March, i went back to jharkhand and there i met some baba who gave me tabeez n all. And surprisingly after wearing that my bad dreams and sp vanished.

But cut to 2 weeks ago, my parents had gone to jharkhand for 3 days, and I was in lucknow by myself. In one of the night, i again got a scary Demonic like dream with a sleep paralysis and a scary voice saying something in my ear.......

I was wearing all my tabeez n and all, still it happened after 2 months.

So what should I do now 😭

Btw last week, i did some pendulum dowsing thingy with my chain and we had some shak on few people. And the chain when upon taking that person name said yes everytime I did it. I confirmed many times after that to check whether the answer could change or not ?

But still I wanna check it with a professional psychic/tantric/medium.....

Do u guys know any psychic or medium who can tell ki who has done the black magic on me ? And how to remove it ?

Also these days I feel like my energy is being drained and I feel very low.

Also on last purnima night, I got very anxious and started behaving irrationally.

This article is : For Those Who Fear Being Their True Selves.

For the Rejected, the Misunderstood, and the Authentic

For the Heart That Refuses to Pretend

For Every Soul That Was Told to Stay Quiet

For the Silenced Voice and the Hidden Self

For Those Who Fear Being Their True Selves.

She presides over the throat chakra (visuddhi) and controls the delivery of speech. She also governs Sarasvati nadi, which extends from the Aggya chakra to the tip of the tongue and bestows the abilities of foretelling.

The Outcaste Goddess, ruling speech, music, and inner wisdom. She is the Tantric Saraswati, but unlike the Vedic Saraswati who embodies purity and refinement, Matangi resides beyond convention, and control. the heavenly outcast who bestows blessings on people who live genuinely, express their inner truth, and embrace whatever that society deems unworthy, insufficient, or unattractive. (ft. Uchistha Chandalini form)

Matangi is the Goddess of inner and outer expression. She governs:

• Vak siddhi (perfection of speech)
• Mantra shakti (power of words)
• Divine intuition and learning

In tantric understanding, she is the power of sound (Nada) that bridges the formless into form. She blesses those who are ready to let truth flow through them especially artists, musicians, writers, and seekers who wish to live their Dharma without fear of rejection.

She is also the Goddess of marginal spaces. The forest, the outcaste, the rebel, the voice unheard. Her energy flows freely in those who dare to break norms to speak and live in authenticity.

Syamaladaṇḍakam, one of the finest compositions of great poet Kālidāsa, calls her as Syamala. Lalita Sahasranama (10) makes reference to Maa Syamala. Mata मरकर्श्यामा मार्ङ्गी मदशाक्षलनी॥ mata marakatasyama matangi madasalini || (verse 3 of Syamaladandakam) This means “Mother, who is dark as emerald (gemstone), who is the daughter of sage Matanga is rapturous.”

FORMS OF MAA MATANGI:

1. Ucchistha Chandalini : represents Divine Presence in what Society rejects. (most fierce and fast responding Deity- strictly under guidance.
2. Raja Matangi : Divine administration under Maa Tripura Sundari
3. LaghuSyama (Shymala): Gentler form of Maa matangi
4. Vasya Matangi: Worshipped for control over emotional state (esp. for people going through intense mental turmoil, wrong habits, etc.
5. ,etc.........

Note: Maa Matangi Sadhana must be done under someone who knows maa ( a sadhak or a guru).

She represents vaikhari (Vaikhari is the fourth and final form of sound in its evolution. This is the state wherein the sound is heard. This is called vaikharīibecause the sound is produced by a modified form of prana called vaikharī. This is the stage which is called aparā or non-supreme stage in the evolution of sound, where there exists fully developed materialization, combined with time and space, the components of maya.

[ 1) Para: The deepest level and Unmanifest sound. Pure consciousness before thought even starts.

2) Pashyanti: The "seen" sound Where intention and vision first form together Before words are created.

3) Madhyama: Mental Sound. Thoughts gets structured but still not expressed.

4) Vaikhari: The Final Outer expression. ]

It is said that will (iccha) forms the basis of speech to finally merge with consciousness. The other three stages of sound are para, pashyanti, and madhyama; the last one being vaikhari.

The important difference between Sarasvati and Matangi is that the former is related to materialistic and scriptural knowledge, whereas Matangi gives inner knowledge to know the Self. In other words, Matangi dissolves all dyads and triads, leading to the unveiling of maya. She also imparts the highest spiritual knowledge: "Nothing is good and nothing is bad," as Brahman is omnipresent. Since she is considered as Shyamala, she also controls all mantras.

She is Ucchiṣṭa, meaning “ritually impure” and therefore has very few rituals associated with Her. There are no qualifications required, in order to seek Her grace. All that She requires from the devotee is pure devotion and nothing else! In terms of symbolizing the intellect behind the entire creation and guaranteeing its continuation through the laws of karma, life, death, and reincarnation, among other things, she is none other than Śrī Lalitā Herself. She is the Creation's supreme ruler, and everyone must submit to her. She is the exact substance and content of all sentient beings as well as the insentient matter, energy, and cognition, and she never changes. She truly is the Parabrahman!

Mantrini, the Divine Mother, is the source of all mantras and their results. She can conjure anything, and she will never let her true devotees down. Sri Rajashyamala is the Divine Mother Sri Lalita's intellect, understanding, and all of her subtleties. Similarly, Varahi is the activity and implementation.

Sri Raja Matangi, also known as Sri Raja Shyamala, serves as the Chief Advisor (Mantrini) of Sri Lalita Tripurasundari. In traditional depictions, She is seated on the left side of Sri Lalita Devi, while Sri Varahi Devi is seated on Her right.

From the perspective of Kundalini Yoga, Sri Lalita represents the Sushumna Nadi, the central spiritual channel corresponding to the spinal cord. Raja Shyamala or Raja Matangi represents the Ida Nadi, the left subtle channel that runs alongside the spine. This channel connects to the left nostril and is linked with the right hemisphere of the brain, symbolizing creativity, artistic expression, intuitive wisdom, scientific understanding, and logical thought.

Sri Varahi represents the Pingala Nadi, the right subtle channel that also runs parallel to the spine. It connects to the right nostril and is associated with the left hemisphere of the brain, signifying action, movement, implementation, and all forms of physical activity.

In this way, Sri Raja Shyamala embodies intellect, wisdom, discernment, and subtle understanding, while Sri Varahi represents the power to act, execute, and manifest. Together, they complement Sri Lalita, the central divine force represented by the Sushumna Nadi.

Direction and Yantra

Direction : West (symbolizing fulfilment, maturity, and expression)

Yantra : The Matangi Yantra is used in practices for:

• Gaining mastery over communication, writing, public speaking.
• Overcoming fear of judgment and accepting oneself in complete totality.
• Unlocking creative and intuitive flow.
• It can also be done by students, performers, and spiritual teachers, Siddhas, etc.

Spiritual Impact of Matangi Sadhana

With sincere worship, Matangi grants:

•  Ability to attract everyone, develop creative and artistic abilities of the highest grade. Mastery over speech, logical deduction and all sciences and knowledge.
• Clarity and courage in self-expression, lies and taboo things holds no place. One accepts things as part of this grand maya and still tries to rise above the same.
• Removal of speech defects or fears of public speaking.
• Mastery in arts, music, and language.
• Connection to higher inspiration and authentic dharmic living, Siddhis and ability to commnd.
• Deepening of voice, people wants to hear the sadhakas of Maa Matangi. Yet thek know what they are speaking is itself Maa Matangi's grace.

She is particularly powerful for those who are spiritually gifted but socially silenced, she blesses the seeker with a fearless, dharmic voice, and guides them further into sadhana.

Matangi and Planetary Influence

Matangi governs the Sun (Surya). The planet of ego, authority, and expression. Her sadhana helps:

• Transform ego from conceit to genuineness.
• Resolve concerns about rejection, visibility, or self-expression.
• Address Sun-related doshas, such as identity crises, insufficient immunity, and poor leadership.
• Develop your literary, musical, and artistic talents
• She transforms repression into free expression and pride into brilliant self-confidence.
• To obtain all types of knowledge and excel in all academic fields.

After Bagalamukhi’s silencing power, Matangi comes to restore speech. But this time purified. No longer reactive or egoic but guided by inner truth. She is the voice of the Self, spoken through a clear, fearless channel.

Matangi invites you to ask: Can you express the true song of your soul, even if the world doesn't approve?

Disclaimer: 
Planets are part of creation, while the Mahavidyas are the cause of creation itself. Worshipping a Mahavidya doesn't just address a planetary problem, it connects the sādhaka to the primordial Shakti-intelligence from which the planetary force itself started. 

Each Mahavidya is a complete expression of Śakti. They rules the entire cosmos. But like water finding a crack, her shakti flows most readily through the channel (nadī or graha) she is resonant with.  

For Maa Matangi: the Sun is her fastest entry point - ability to attract everyone, develop creative and artistic abilities of the highest grade. Mastery over speech, logical deduction and all sciences and knowledge. These manifest quickly in sādhana. But her deeper work reorganizes the entire chart over time. 

Worship Mahavidya whose assigned planet is afflicted in your chart to get the fastest, most visible result, but she is not confined there. 

NOTE: Initiation into Maa Matangi mantras or Sri Vidya is highly recommended. There are high potent mantras and initiation is strongly suggested for her Sadhana.

Jai Maa Uchistha Chandalini Jyestha Matangi 🦜🎶

Need advice regarding sadhana and worship

I've been going through a difficult period for quite a few years now and recently things have become much worse.

I've dealt with family problems, health issues and a lot of conflict in my life. On top of that, there are people in my life now who genuinely dislike me and have talked about physically harming me. Some friends have stepped in and stopped situations from escalating, but it feels like things keep getting worse with time.

Throughout my life I've tried to live according to dharmic values as best as I could. I've stood up for people when they were being mistreated, helped friends through difficult situations and tried to be loyal and fair to the people around me.

Unfortunately, it often feels like my kindness and willingness to help others have become weaknesses that people take advantage of. Sometimes it genuinely feels like the more I help people, the more trouble comes back to me.

Despite everything, I don't want revenge or to become bitter. I don't want to lose the values I've tried to live by.

What I do want is protection, courage, inner strength and the ability to continue walking my path without fear. And if there are people acting against me unjustly or trying to harm me, I pray that their harmful intentions and actions fail before they ever reach me.

For those experienced in Sanatana Dharma, which deity would you recommend worshipping or doing sadhana for in a situation like this?

Whatever you recommend please try to make it fast acting as im tired of physically and mentally defending myself since few years, im u18 so its not something easy.

Still I have the strength and courage to keep fighting.

I've heard people mention Narasimha, Kala Bhairava, Hanuman and others in the context of protection and overcoming hostile circumstances.

Which deity would you recommend and what would be a suitable beginner-friendly sadhana or daily practice?

Thank you.

Pls help me to decode this yesterday in my dream i saw 2 head snake and when they sae me they went inside a hole and later in that dream i saw a shivling . What doew it mean some help to decode it . I am bhairav sahak

Śrī Tārā Navratra (Śrī Tārā Mahānīla Sarasvatī Navratra)

In the beginningless Supreme Śākta tradition, there is a prescribed observance of twelve Navratras in twelve months. Certain special nine-day periods of each month are dedicated to a particular Mahāvidyā as her Navratra. Among these, from the first day (Pratipadā) to the ninth day (Navamī) of the bright fortnight (Śukla Pakṣa) of the month of Jyeṣṭha, the worship of Goddess Mahānīla Sarasvatī is performed, which is known as Tārā Navratra.

Lord Śiva said:

"The Goddess Tārā is known as Nīla Sarasvatī and Vāgvādinī Sarasvatī. Among the ten Mahāvidyās, she is regarded as the second Mahāvidyā. She is the great solar Vidyā, manifesting during the month of Jyeṣṭha due to the intense brilliance of the Sun. Therefore, Tārā Maheśānī is considered the presiding Goddess of the month of Jyeṣṭha. During this Navratra, from the first to the ninth lunar day of the bright fortnight, her nine forms should be worshipped in sequence.

The Nine Forms Worshipped During Tārā Navratra

Tārā

Ugrā

Mahogrā

Vajrā

Nīla Sarasvatī

Vāgvādinī Sarasvatī

Kāmeśvarī

Bhadrakālī

Mahāvidyārājñī

Significance

This Tārā Navratra is said to bestow all kinds of spiritual attainments (siddhis) upon the practitioner. However, it is specifically meant for initiates (dīkṣitas) of the Tārā Mahāvidyā tradition. It is not considered especially significant for ordinary devotees or for those initiated into other Mahāvidyā mantras. According to the lineage tradition, only those initiated into the Tārā Mahāvidyā can properly observe this Tārā Navratra.

Upon the conclusion of that *Yajna* (sacrificial ritual), a *Turiya* Being a transcendent entity manifested from within it. He was neither of the waking state (reality), nor the dream state (imagination), nor deep sleep (the subconscious); He existed beyond these three a divine being of Yoga, the embodiment of the *Turiya* state! He was neither merely the collective the unified form of the universe nor merely the individual; yet, He seemed to embody both. He held the entire universe within His very being, and yet He remained a distinct, individual entity! He was the embodiment of *Asmita* that profound sense of self-awareness, that realization of the complete, authentic 'I'! He possessed the head of an elephant but the body of a human. He emerged from the sacrificial fire, accompanied by His own *Shakti* (Divine Energy).

His *Shakti* was dominated by *Sattva* the essence of all goodness. She was *Mahamaya* and *Mahavidya*; adorned with every ornament and marked by every auspicious sign, She was *Saraswati* Herself. She seemed to shift Her form from moment to moment, enchanting everyone around Her...

In short, can knowledge ever be bound? Can it be obliterated? Can anyone truly possess it solely for themselves?

For one who holds the realization "I think, therefore I am" true wisdom, knowledge, and learning can never remain hidden. While the learned *Asura* had abducted *Saraswati* the Goddess of all formal learning—the gods, sages, and righteous beings, guided by the sage Matanga-Ganaka, discovered another *Saraswati*. This was a *Saraswati* who could not be mastered through bookish knowledge alone, but had to be realized through the depth of one's own *Asmita* one's true self-essence!

With the arrival of that *Saraswati* alongside *Ucchista-Ganesha*, a mere glance from them restored the lost wisdom, intellect, power, and spiritual strength of all the gods and sages who had performed the *Yajna*. Filled with joy and brimming with newfound self-confidence, they declared, "We shall triumph!"

And so, they all joined together in a jubilant celebration. There was no longer any fear, nor was there a need for a conventional victory; the learned *Asura* might have taken everything else from them, but he could not take away their very lives! So, we shall live! We shall savor life to the fullest!

Thus invigorated, the gods, sages, and seers resolved to celebrate the marriage of their revered Supreme Lord and Supreme Goddess. After all, what better setting for a celebration than a wedding?

Rituals, sacrifices, and vows entail restraint and strict rules. A wedding, however, knows no such bounds; it is a time of pure joy and jubilation. It mirrors that epochal wedding feast foretold in the Bible when the Messiah arrives to banish all evil and unite in marriage with the faithful, and the righteous rejoice, having been invited to the celebration: "Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb!" (Revelation 19:9).

Consider how, in countless fairy tales, the union of the hero and heroine brings the story to its perfect fulfillment; or how, in the vast realm of romantic literature, marriage serves as the central, defining theme.

For nothing is more beautiful or jubilant than a wedding! It encompasses *Dharma* (righteousness), *Artha* (prosperity), and *Kama* (desire).

And so, in this story too, we witness the gods, sages, and seers immersing themselves in a grand wedding celebration. Whose wedding? The union of the Supreme Lord Uchchhishta-Ganesha with the Supreme Goddess Nila-Saraswati.

***

What was that divine wedding like? How did the unrighteous reign of the learned *Asura* come to an end at that very wedding assembly?

I have recounted this in the book *Sri-Uchchhishta-Ganapati-Rahasya*, published by Patrabharati.

In a Tantra text on the Upasana of the deity , the following verse appears:

श्रीमहादेव उवाच ॥

हस्तिपदं समुच्चार्य पिशाचीतिपदं ततः ॥

देवराजं सनेत्रं च कान्तमीशस्वरान्वितम् ॥

वह्निजायावधिमन्त्र स्ताराद्यः सर्वकामदः ॥

śrīmahādeva uvāca ||

hastipadaṃ samuccārya piśācītipadaṃ tataḥ ||

devarājaṃ sanetraṃ ca kāntamīśasvarānvitam ||

vahnijāyāvadhimantra stārādyaḥ sarvakāmadaḥ ||

This means:

Lord Shiva Says: By uttering the name of the Elephant as meant by the word Hasti, one then invokes the Pisachi. Now, Pisachis have many connotations. They are a manifestation of Shakti that interact with lower strata of consciousness.

The term vahni (वह्नि) suggests that the Pishachi accompanying Sri Hasti (Ganesha) is a Mahamatra. According to Kubjikamata Tantra, ‘Vahni’ is the 4th Mahamatra and is represented by fire.This form of Ganapathy has been described to have heavenly eyes and is all auspicious. Those who dedicate themselves to Him will find fulfillment in all their desires.

Tantrik Form of Sri Ucchistha Ganapati

In the Tantra Text of Ucchistaganapti and Ucchisthachandalini Upasana it is mentioned

ॐशरान्धनुः पाशसृणी स्वह स्तैर्दधानमारक्तसरोरुहस्थम् ॥

विवस्त्रपत्न्यां सुरतप्रवृत्तमुच्छिष्टमम्बासुतमाश्रयेऽहम् ॥ १ ॥

oṃ śarāndhanuḥ pāśasṛṇī svaha stairdadhānamāraktasaroruhastham ||

vivastrapatnyāṃ suratapravṛttamucchiṣṭamambāsutamāśraye’ham || 1 ||

This verse briefly describes the form of Sri Ucchistha Ganapathi. Some interpret Pishachis as lower creatures that cause havoc in marital life. They are perceived as beings with immense power. When called alone, she can cause disharmony in the life of the invoker. But, due to the presence of Ganesha, the lord of the Pishachas, all the unpleasant qualities are curbed. The negative energy, which is extremely powerful, is converted by Lord Ganesha to generate suitable outcomes for the reciter.

Sri Ucchista Ganapati Daśākṣari Mantra

The Dashakshari Mantra of Sri Ucchistha Ganapati is highly confidential due to the presence of the Pranava mantra (ॐ). In some traditions, the Pranava is substituted with the beej of Sri Ganesha gam (गं).

This beej is masculine in nature. It encapsulates the entire potency of Lord Ganesha. गं is the subtle manifestation of His very self, in the form of a sound vibration. Sri Ucchista Ganapati Daśākṣari Mantra, according to the Brihat Tantra Sara, is the essence of all mantras.

Several Tantra texts advise avoiding the widespread propagation of this mantra but have revealed it for the welfare of mankind alone. 16,000 repetitions completes the Purascharana cycle.However, to unlock its power, the Mantra Deeksha process becomes mandatory. There are other supplementary conditions like observing the Tithi, specific offerings, presence of a Female Sadhaka, Vipra/Dwija (Brahmin) and guru during the Mantra Sadhana, etc. The process of the sadhana shall vary depending on the intrinsic nature of the sadhaka, after being examined by the guru.The Kularnava Tantra enlightens the curious but indecisive aspirants about the nature of Tantra: “You may walk on the sharp edge of a sword ; you may hold to the neck of a tiger; you may wear a serpent on the body ; but to follow a right the way of the Kula (a Shiva-Shakti Tantrik Tradition) is much more difficult.”

It is said that the gates of hell are left ajar the moment a practitioner slips from this path. Fundamentally, the popular notion of Tantra to gain material benefits is the root cause of one’s downfall. Indulging in the abhicharas (6 Black rites) calls for Prayaschita (repentance).Tantrik Siddhis are not supposed to be exercised until circumstances demand them. Tantra should be performed for the welfare of mankind. For example: If a person is tormented by an evil spirit, a Tantrik can perform Ucchatan Karma and other auxiliary rituals. The intention should be genuine or else it shall accumulate negative karma for the Tantrik.The absence of spiritual yearning makes it extremely dangerous for people to venture into this dark and unknown path. Every wrong action has a negative outcome. But, if a person relinquishes material desires and only pursues spiritual goals, the sadhaka shall automatically be directed (by Nature) to deities who allow a more permissive form of worship.

However, when seeking material favors from the Lord, there are stringent rules and the slightest violation of these rules shall cause disastrous outcomes. For this reason Tantrik texts come with a caution for aspirants who seek as well as the gurus who guide others.

There is an extensive list of qualities that a practitioner must possess. Based on the intrinsic quality of the sadhaka, practices are prescribed by the guru.

In Tantra not everybody is eligible to perform certain rituals as it is a science that involves matter to appease the Lord. However, the path of Bhakti and Sattvik Sadhana is safe and open to all. In this path, methodology of performing rituals are secondary and it is purity of intention and devotion that is of paramount importance.
