Situated in the midst of a forest full of dense Sāl (sal - Shorea robusta) trees, the swaying of these trees resembling a peculiar sounding of drums and the generated winds blowing to the length of a yojana (about 9 miles) and the lush green sal trees themselves casting emerald green brilliance about the length of four yojana-s -
[Śrī Vārāhī devi resides in the Ājñā cakra. The dense forest and the thick wood of the trees is equated to karmas and the wind is our breath. Alignment of the breath with the vibrations of the mantra will activate the Ājñā cakra and all other cakras in the body.]

[All objects reflect Her brilliant dark green emerald radiance, also emanating from Her bedecked ornaments. She stands eminently and is very prominent and unmatched, amongst all the retinue of Śrī Lalita Devi.

In the golden creeper forest area, abounding with all objects [of the Creation], resides the chief destroyer [commander-in-chief] Śrī Daṇḍinī Vārāhī devi.
[The Ājñā cakra and the yellow light that is observed when meditated upon it, is subtly described. She is called Daṇḍinī, as She holds a staff indicating that She is a great punisher and will rid us of all enemies, internal and external. The staff is also indicative of the Śiva liṅga, which represents the higher super-consciousness that is limitless and infinite and She holding it, represents that She will lead us to liberation. She is also called Yamī, or the śakti of Lord Yama, the ruler of Naraka loka, a type of hell, indicating that She will also punish us for any sins that we commit. She is warning us to fall in line and be truthful and devout to our spiritual practices. She is also the consort of Lord Varāha, an avatar of Lord Viṣṇu, who had lifted the Earth – Bhūdevi from the depths of the cosmic ocean, resembling a great deluge, by defeating the forces of evil associated with the golden eyed Rākṣasā Hiraṇyākṣa. She is therefore the Divine Mother Lakṣmi and grants us immense wealth and fulfills all our material and spiritual wishes.]

The hogs have an inherent nature of consuming everything in their vicinity and feared for their destructive nature. The Kiri cakra is ideal for consuming all the karma by the grace of the Divine Mother Śrī Daṇḍinī Vārāhī devi. Also, She is seen as an Earthly goddess indicated by Her boar face and represents the śakti/power to ascend from the Earthly realms to the higher spiritual realms. As an Earthy goddess, She grants us all the material pleasures and immense land holdings, that are higher than we can ever imagine.]

[The description of the Vārāhī devi yantra is described, which encloses all Her subordinate śakti-s. The activation of the six main cakras in our body are subtly indicated. The downward inverted triangle is the base of the kuṇḍalini and turning it upward represents the rise of the kuṇḍalini śakti and the opening of the base mūlādhāra cakra.]

She holds a conch shell, a discus, the fear allaying Abhaya mudra, the wish granting Vara mudra, a plough, a club, a rope and an elephant goad. She sports a crescent moon on Her forehead and Her mouse resembles that of a boar and She is the eternal punisher and enforcer- Daṇḍinī!
[The conch shell resonates all the vibrations of the Creation, the discus cuts through any type of obstacles related to karma, the fear and wish granting mudras assure us of complete protection as well as the benefits of submitting to Her, for obtaining Her full grace. The plough(plow) will till/overturn our barren minds and intellect, to plant the seeds of devotion and cultivate the discipline and knowledge, to raise our consciousness. The club will drive away all misconceptions and ignorance. The rope will rein us in, when we lose ourselves on the path to redemption and the elephant goad tames our emotions to rein in stability and drives a marked change in our outlook and perception towards everything. The moon represents our mind and we have Her in our minds, then we will reach to the top echelons of spirituality as well as attain all the success we can ever ask for and more! The boar face is a reminder of Her abilities and ferocity, to vanquish anything that hinders our path towards success.]

After transcending the difficult to comprehend garland of pearls (related to the nitya devis surrounding Srī Lalitā devi), She appears right in front with dark emerald green complexion and is very difficult to comprehend in form. She is of the appearance that resembles the fifteenth day of the dark lunar fortnight (new moon day), bedecked in complete gold, masking Her. She is atop Her Kiri-cakra chariot (Yantra) surrounded by various celestial devatās in Her retinue and generating the great aggressive and protective energy that is associated with Her innate instincts. She is assisted by all Her subordinate śakti-s, who are Her own forms (Laghu Vārāhī, Tiraskaraṇi etc.) armed with all their weapons, to come to our rescue again and again and forever, in all our lifetimes!
[Only after worshipping the innermost triangle where the nitya devi-s reside, can we truly become eligible for worshipping Śrī Daṇḍinī Vārāhī devi. A subtle indication is made, suggesting the worshipping of the Śrī Cakra and thereby the Nitya devi-s, as a pre-requisite for Her sādhana. The nitya devi-s fulfill all the desires of the devotees and free them completely of any remaining worldly desires. This will set the stage for further spiritual upliftment. It is therefore next to impossible, to comprehend and witness the power of Śrī Daṇḍinī Vārāhī devi, without completing the pre-requisites.
The Kiri cakra is extremely powerful and has all the powers and energies associated with it, to annihilate all our enemies, internal and external, in order to help us reach the innermost dimensionless realm of the Śrī Cakra, the abode of Śiva and Śakti, the super-consciousness. This is the same as the complete activation of the crown sahasrāra cakra. Strong emphasis is made, stating that the protection offered, will last various lifetimes if the complete liberation and merger into the super-consciousness were to last more lifetimes that the current itself].
May 18, 2023 09:05 PM
Just a small observation. Raja Shyamala and Maha Varahi are on the outside of the innermost triangle. The 15 Nitya Devis are more powerful than those because the Nitya Devis are Lalita herself after coming into contact with the three transformations of nature (Tamas, Rajas and Sattva). Each nature corresponds to 5 Nitya Devis on each side of the innermost triangle. Although they are erotic in nature, every Nitya devi is fully capable of devouring even death. They are second only to Lalita in importance and authority. The Nitya Bhagamalini, for example, is an ultra-powerful form of Raja Shyamala/Sarasvati. The Nitya Nitya, for example, is an ultra powerful form of Tripura Bhairavi. This Nitya became so strong that she surpassed even Lord Siva. The Nitya Nilapataka, for example, is an ultra powerful form of Guhya Kali. The 15 Nitya Devis are Lalita's personal Mahavidyas. Each of them are considered Mahavidyas. Now imagine the immense power of Lalita that is at the center of these 15 Nitya devis. They only serve Lalita. The secrets of these 15 Goddesses are not widely publicized and people usually ignore them with extremely poor descriptions for the infinite and particular greatness of each one, but as I said, they are second only to Lalita.
May 19, 2023 12:05 AM
Thank you for sharing such invaluable knowledge. Please also kindly share the deeper significance or rahasya, if any, of contemplating upon the dhyana sloka and unique mantra corresponding with each Nitya Devi which presides over each lunar thithi. Thank you.
May 19, 2023 03:05 PM
Namaste! Why are Raja Shyamala and Maha Varahi not mentioned in the Devi Khadgamala Stotram as being on the outside of the most inner triangle? Is Bala Tripura Sundari located together with the 16th nityā - Mahānityā Lalita Tripura Sundari? Can you reveal the Kāmakalākālī Khadgamala Stotram or is it still a secret? Thank you for your answer!
May 22, 2023 06:05 PM
Namaste. I am aware of the post on the site "kamakoti" talking about this Khaḍgamālā. Even that fragment present on that site is incorrect. But do you know what the great truth about this is? The Kāmakalākāḻī Khaḍgamālā is contained within the Kāmakalākāḻī Sahasranāma. By reciting the Kāmakalākāḻī Sahasranāma you receive the benefits of the Sahasranāma and the Khaḍgamālā simultaneously. This is not the case with the Sahasranāma of all deities. This happens in the case of Guhyakāḻī and Kāmakalākāḻī. These deities must be addressed through a Guru, otherwise you will have serious problems in your life. About your other question, Varahi and Shyamala are parts of Lalitā, so they are outside the innermost triangle. 15 Nitya Devis are Lalitā herself in contact with different elements and gunas. Did you know that Bala Tripurasundari is actually a Nitya Devi? That's why she is so powerful and identical with Lalitā. When Bala Tripurasundari fully reveals herself to the devotee she is called "Kulasundari Nitya", the ninth Nitya of Lalitā. The phases of the moon change, but the moon remains the same moon. So are the Nitya Devis, who are identical with Lalitā in every way, but only Lalitā is in eternal union with Mahā Kāmeśvara. All the deities you mentioned are mentioned in the Khaḍgamālā, but indirectly. There are many deities that you may not even know exist within this Khaḍgamālā.
May 23, 2023 01:05 AM
I will list the Mantra of the fifteen Nitya Devis. You will notice something interesting in Kulansundari Nitya Mantra. You will learn how the visualization of the deity affects the effects of the Mantra. Kulasundari Nitya has five faces and twelve hands. You will get the effect of worshiping a Nitya Devi by visualizing Bala Tripurasundari like this. Knowing the Mantra of a deity is not enough. We should know her appearance and her likes and dislikes. Bala Tripurasundari is one of those special deities that can be meditated in more than one different form, with different colors, faces, weapons and so on. Maha Varahi, for example, is a deity that can be meditated on in dozens of different ways as different "war strategies". She is the greatest in that sense. Meditating on Maha Varahi with hands holding bloody axes in all hands will brutally murder enemies close to the devotee. Meditating on Maha Varahi and her attendants riding Garudas and wielding ranged weapons will slay all distant enemies even before they set their evil plans in motion. This meditation destroys enemies in the preparation phase. She is the queen of war strategies. There are dozens of other forms of meditation that affect the outcome of Mantra recitation.

Śrī Tvaritā Nityā. This Goddess is surprisingly fast. She is Lalitā operating at full speed. Tvaritā Nityā travels aggressively through space (ether). Tvaritā travels like lightning, cutting to pieces everything in front of her that is preventing the devotee's desire from being fulfilled. Tvaritā combines the saving urgency of Tārā, the lightning speed and penetration of Chinnamastā and the opposing and irresistible force of Pratyaṅgirā. She doesn't care. She gets right to the point. Her Yantra is simple and straightforward, bringing together the most effective Goddesses for swift action. She is a minimalist and just wants to achieve her goals no matter the obstacles in front of her. This goddess is a work of art by Lalitā. The Nityā Devis are really the royal guard of Lalitā.
May 23, 2023 05:05 AM
When the Pañcadaśākṣarī Mantra is perfected, the devotee's speech sets in motion a special kind of paravāk which automatically brings the most efficacious Śaktis or group of Goddesses to the command given by the devotee. The devotee can specify the Goddess or group of Goddesses if he wants to, but this is not necessary. He just says what must be done and the most efficient Goddesses take their positions and go into action. The orders authorizing the liberation of beings come from Lalitāmbikā. The other Goddesses also only grant liberation to their respective devotees with Lalitāmbikā's authorization. Creation needs a sovereign Queen to command for organizational reasons. And that Queen is Lalitāmbikā. Beings from all universes can rest assured that bad people with bad intentions will never come close to perfecting Pañcadaśākṣarī. Even if that person is bad, the Mantra will inevitably change his personality, making him look like Lalitāmbikā. Somehow he will end up acting to bring benefit to the Creation. Many people say that God is perfect. This is precisely what perfection means. God never loses.
May 23, 2023 01:05 PM
Thank you for your answer! Honestly, based on your answers, I think that you may as well be a deity from one Avarana of the Shri Chakra.
May 23, 2023 02:05 PM
Are you talking about this Mahamantra Pañcadaśākṣarī - क ए ई ल ह्रीं - ह स क ह ल ह्रीं - स क ल ह्रीं (ka e ī la hrīṁ - ha sa ka ha la hrīṁ - sa ka la hrīṁ)? I still don't understand why the greatest jewel of the universe is available to almost all people of Kali Yuga. It can be defiled by people for whom Pañcadaśākṣarī has no meaning (Christians, Muslims, or others), and they may think something like this: "These people are so stupid that they repeat some sounds and think they can solve their problems by doing so instead of going to work to earn money." Why did the Divine Mother Lalita do this?
May 23, 2023 02:05 PM
Doesn't Kulasundari have six faces? Why do Citrā and Vahnivāsinī have yantras similar to Kulasundari's (Bala Tripura Sundari)? Do the Nitya Devis have husbands, if they are Lalita Parameshwari herself, do they have a husband, Mahakameshwara? Thank you for your answer!
May 23, 2023 05:05 PM
Nitya Devis is Lalita herself after coming into contact with the three transformations of nature (Tamas, Rajas and Sattva). Is it correct that: Kameśvarī is Lalita, who touched the nature of Tamas and the element of Prithvi? Bhagamalinī (Tamas and Jala), Nityaklinnā (Tamas and Agni), Bheruṇḍā (Tamas and Vayu), Vahnivāsinī (Tamas and Akasha), Mahāvājreśvarī (Rajas and Prithvi), Śivadūtī (Rajas and Jala), Tvaritā (Rajas and Agni), Kulasundarī (Rajas and Vayu), Nityā (Rajas and Akasha), Nilapatākā (Sattva and Prithvi), Vijayā (Sattva and Jala), Sarvamaṅgalā (Sattva and Agni), Jvālāmālinī (Sattva and Vayu), Citrā (Sattva and Akasha)?
May 23, 2023 05:05 PM
Namaste. I expected these questions. Kulasundari definitely has six faces and the similarities between the Kulasundari, Vahnivasini and Citra Yantras are not mere coincidences. Kulasundari Nitya is related to the omniscience of the six Amnayas (Uttara, Dakṣiṇa, Pūrva, Paścima, Ūrdhva and Anuttara). Therefore Kulasundari has six faces: she makes the devotee omniscient of the universe and what is beyond. We cannot talk about omniscience without talking about what is beyond. Kulasundari definitely bestows the knowledge even of the coveted Ūrdhva and Anuttara. There is nothing to argue about Kulasundari's unrivaled knowledge. This Nitya Devi is very versatile and flexible, she can do absolutely anything you can imagine because omniscience is a very powerful thing and we know that knowledge is the greatest weapon in this world. Kulasundari moves freely through the six Amnayas, there is no discussion about it. The similarity in the Yantras of Kulasundari, Vahnivasini and Citra is the same as in the Shri Chakra. Look at the Shri Chakra again and compare. This similar part of the Yantras is related to the powers of the eight Vagdevis that made up the Lalita Sahasranama. It is these Vagdevis that make the devotee's knowledge and speech so powerful and infallible. There was no Goddess more competent to compose the Lalita Sahasranama than the Vagdevis. Their speech and knowledge is unparalleled. The powers of Kulasundari, Vahnivasini and Citra are related to powerful transformations of the eight Vagdevis. Kulasundari is related to the omniscience of the universes. Vahnivasini is concerned with setting the entire universe on fire instantly. But what does it mean to set the entire universe on fire instantly? It means subjugation. Vahnivasini is not just a seductive woman. She seduces so that the entire universe will take action. Vahnivasini is about being seduced and acting on that seduction. The seduced, in this case, is the entire universe. Her speech sets the entire universe on fire and the universe acts as she wishes. Just imagine the effect of a great celebrity that captivates the entire earth. Vahnivasini causes similar effect in the entire universe. She drives the entire universe crazy. The universe has no choice but to act. Vahnivasini is related to seduction followed by action. But it happens very fast. It's like setting a person on fire, but in the seductive sense of the word. It is something similar to what happens when a couple, with the urge to touch each other, are ignited by the fire of passion. They urgently urge to touch each other because of the effect of fire. Citra Nitya are related to the multicolored speech that despite being different is one. Citra Nitya speech is like a rainbow of colors. She messes up existing colors and always creates new colors with her speech. She grants the devotee the power to make his life a work of art where the universe always acts beneficially towards him. She grants the devotee the power to always reach a happy ending in every step he takes in his life. He becomes an artist painting new colors that are always beneficial to his life. He always gets along well and there is no force that can make him have a negative result in his life. Everything he does becomes beneficial art for him. Citra Nitya grants the devotee the power to have knowledge of Brahman and at the same time know how to live immersed in the differences of this world. He has the knowledge of Brahman but he will be enjoying life like a teenager in his youth. People do not even suspect that this devotee knows Brahman. Positivity haunts this devotee so much that he wins the lottery and accidentally finds treasures. He is never unhappy in this material life, nor in the spiritual one. All these variations between Kulasundari, Vahnivasini and Citra are the result of powerful transformations of the Vagdevis. Hence the similarity in the Yantra. It's different powers of speech of the Vagdevis in action. About your question regarding Pañcadaśākṣarī, it doesn't matter if this Mantra is public or not. A person will only be interested in worshiping Lalitāmbikā and will persist in it if the Divine Mother Herself authorizes it. Pañcadaśākṣarī is open to everyone today, but how many people have you seen succeed? What I see is most confused people switching deities unnecessarily all the time. A person will only have a persevering interest in Lalitāmbikā if she authorizes it. In this way, Lalitāmbikā is public today, but not very accessible. If the person is not competent, Lalitāmbikā diverts that person's attention to another deity without him even realizing it. She is the Queen of pranks and her publicity doesn't get in the way of her achieving her goals. She manipulates people however she wants through life's coincidences.
May 23, 2023 06:05 PM
You know what's funny about Lalitāmbikā? She has knowledge of all other religions as well. If you ask her about other religions, she will give you detailed information about them and what is true and what is not. This was one of the reasons that convinced me that Lalitāmbikā really is a Supreme deity. She does not exclude the existence of other religions and their respective deities. Lalitāmbikā tells you about them if you have the opportunity to ask her. I would like to point to Jesus Christ specifically. He exists and is a very powerful deity. He is related to Grace, not Siddhi. But there are few devotees who truly follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. Devotees who follow the teachings of Jesus Christ and received his grace are immune to any type of known and unknown black magic. If you try to use any ill-intentioned Mantra on someone protected by Jesus Christ, you will be in very bad shape. They are immune to all of that. This deity works through faith (Grace), not Siddhi (Tapasya).

These curious deities like Jesus Christ and Aruṭperuñjōti work in a different way. Depending on the devotee's faith, these deities forgive all his sins without him doing any practice. These deities simply forgive everything at once and seat the devotees on the highest thrones in existence. But these devotees didn't do any practice, they just had ardent faith in the teachings of these deities. These different deities correspond to other paths, but that doesn't make them invalid in any way. This is what Lalitāmbikā says.

Namaste Tripuraghna, thank you so much for blessing us with this gamut of knowledge. If one wishes to worship the Nitya Devis, each on Her corresponding tithi, how is this to be done? Is the tithi seen as the presiding tithi at sunrise / start of the day? Or is it the tithi active at night / after sunset? And what does one do for days in which there are 2 tithis within the same 24 hours? Please kindly guide.

I heard a Christian priest who served Jesus Christ very sincerely for more than 20 years, preaching his teachings. He said that one morning he had a divine revelation, he saw a bright light and Jesus came and spoke to him and revealed a secret to him for his sincere service and love for him, that he Jesus Christ was actually the Divine Mother, he was not a man, he was an avatar of the Divine Mother, the embodiment of compassion, love, kindness, forgiveness, mercy. There is nothing wrong with the teachings of Jesus Christ, but the teachings that are available to the general public are distorted, and much of them are hidden...

If it is the Divine Mother's will, could you write a similar post about each Nityā Devi as you have written about Śrī Tvaritā Nityā? What form of Devi is each Nityā (Bhagamalini form of Raja Shyamala, Nityā Nityā ultra powerful form of Tripura Bhairavi, Nilapataka, ultra powerful form of Guhya Kali)? This will help us to understand these goddesses much better, there is very little information about them, it is undeserved if they are second only to Lalita Tripura Sundari.

"She is the Queen of pranks and her publicity doesn't get in the way of her achieving her goals. She manipulates people however she wants through life's coincidences." Tripuranga Ji how right You are! Lalitambika's mother loves to play and She played with me. At Her contemplation, She was transformed in a split second on the throne in Dhumavati Ma! By showing that Dhumavati Ma also gives Knowledge of Brahma Vidya. Getting acquainted with Dhumavati Ma 1000 names, I found that she is beautiful, beautiful and kind, there are also two names with Lalita, it was a discovery and amazement for me!

Maha Varahi is the personification of Lalita's Ego. Divine Mother Maha Varahi teaches us to know ourselves, but without abandoning parts or layers of our ego. She teaches us that our Ego has several layers. "I am Lalita, but I am also Tripuraghna or whoever I want to be; I have autonomy and willpower, I command my fun game". This is what Maha Varahi teaches at the highest level of sophistication. Raja Shyamala is the embodiment of Lalita's intellect. Raja Shyamala teaches us to know our creativity. Raja Shyamala creates art. Art distorts the static ultimate and creates a multicolored and dynamic ultimate. "I will take a speck of dust from my own lotus foot and create my own universe and life with my own colors, unlike any created before." This is what Raja Shyamala teaches at the highest level of sophistication. These two Goddesses are so important that it seems impossible to understand Lalita without understanding them.

I am afraid that someone might be offended by my saying that the other Mantras (Mahā/Para/Guhya Shodasi) are not superior to Pañcadaśākṣarī. But there are things that are obvious and that we just need to use logic. If the Pañcadaśākṣarī did not fully describe Lalitāmbikā, the Lalitā Trishati would not be formulated with just fifteen letters. If parts of Lalitāmbikā were really missing, the Lalitā Trishati would be worded with more letters or otherwise. And we all know that this is her highest Stotra and it describes her completely. This does not exclude the effectiveness of the other Mantras, but a prepared devotee who has understood the Pañcadaśākṣarī can stop at it and will not have lost anything. I believe that the wording of other Mantras has more to do with wanting to somehow downplay the playful nature of Lalitāmbikā. She likes to play and you won't be able to change that by formulating other Mantras where the idea is to exclude her creations. You will not go to a magical place where you will no longer participate in creation. There is no Yoni without Bindu and there is no Bindu without Yoni. That is the old lesson of the Shri Chakra.

Thank you, you have described the nature of these Great Devis very well! Could you please tell us why all Lalita devotees are now chanting this version - कएईल ह्रीं - हसकहल ह्रीं - सकल ह्रीं (ka e ī la hrīṁ - ha sa ka ha la hrīṁ - sa ka la hrīṁ) of Kāmarājopāsitā Pañcadaśākṣarī, and why Lalita Trishati is based on it? There are many versions of Pañcadaśākṣarī, but for some reason no one repeats them. These mantras: Varuṇopasitā (कएईल ह्रीं हकहल ह्रीं सहकल ह्रीं), Dharmarājopāsitā (कएकल ह्रीं हकहल ह्रीं सहकल ह्रीं), Nandipūjītā (स एईल ह्रीं सहकहल ह्रीं सकल ह्रीं), and other equal in power to Kāmarājopāsitā Pañcadaśākṣarī, why are they practically unknown in our Kali Yuga? Is it true that in the past Yugas there were many Lalita Trishati composed on the basis of each version of the Pañcadaśākṣarī mantra? Each version of Pañcadaśākṣarī fully describes the Lalita Tripura Sundari, but why is Kāmarājopāsitā practiced and not others? Thank you for your answer!

Tripuraghnaji can you elucidate more on Panchdashi along with Guhya, Para and Maha Shodashi in terms of their Dhyana and nuanced subtle differences. Looking forward to your explanation only to contemplate upon visually if not chant these high order mantras yet.

Tripuraghnaji , how important is the Gayatri mantra to be successful in the path of srividya?
