Meaning:-
The kāma bīja (seed mantra) klīm̐, represents fulfillment of all desires, spiritual and material, as well as granting great powers of attraction. The bīja also consists of ‘ka’ which is Lord Mahākāla’s (an aspect of Lord Śiva) Kamalā śakti, representing the evolution of consciousness. The letter ‘la’ is pṛthvi tattva and represents Earth. The letter ‘ī’ represents Mahāmāyā, the virtual reality. The letter ‘m̐’ is nāda-bindu that dispels sorrow. Together, it represents attainment and fulfillment, of all Earthly and material desires and pursuits.
The Kālī bīja (seed mantra) krīm̐, consists of ‘ka’ which is Lord Mahākāla’s (an aspect of Lord Śiva) Kamalā śakti, representing the evolution of consciousness. The letter ‘ra’ is Ananta Tejomaya Brahma, the omniscient and ever shining Brahman Himself, representing all aspects of Creation, Sustenance and Destruction, Who is none other than Mahākāla. The letter ‘ī’ represents Mahāmāyā, the virtual reality. The letter ‘m̐’ is nāda-bindu that dispels sorrow. The Lokanāyika, the ruler of the entire Creation, the Divine Mother who is the śakti of Mahākāla, in Her Vindu (Bindu or Dimensionless dot) rūpa (form) is Mahākālī, the kriyā śakti or the One who takes action and is the dispeller of all sorrow, extinguisher of all karmas, negativity, black magic, enemies etc. and grantor of self-realization and liberation.
The Krodha bīja (seed) mantra hūm̐ represents cutting off all attachments as well as obstacles in our material and spiritual progress. It consists of the letter ‘ha’ which is the ākāśa tattva representing the vast sky and the infinite space – ether and also Parāśiva representing pure bliss and dissolution of all sin. The letter ‘ū’ is Umeśa Mahākāla Bhairava the annihilator and bestower of spiritual transformation. Lastly, The letter ‘m̐’ is nāda-bindu that dispels sorrow. Together, the signification is towards spiritual elevation by burning all the karmas.
The Aṅkuśa bīja (seed) mantra krom̐ represents anger and wrath, as well as destruction of all falsehood and integration with the Divine. The letter ‘ka’ is mūla prakṛti śakti, meaning the root or the primary cause of the manifestation of nature. The letter ‘ra’ is Ananta Tejomaya Brahma, the omniscient and ever shining Brahman Himself, representing all aspects of Creation, Sustenance and Destruction, Who is none other than Mahākāla. The letter ‘o’ is śuddhātma or pure consciousness. The letter ‘m̐’ is nāda-bindu that dispels sorrow. Together, the signification is the evolution of the pure consciousness from the inherent material nature. Meaning, we tend to identify ourselves as consciousness and not the body and also get detached from material obsessions.
The bīja (seed) mantra "sphrom̐" forms the Kāmakalā starting from the Hārdakalā (Digit of Love). I will explain: The letter "s" means Hārdakalā or Love without a superior and which subdues everything. There is a big secret: this letter "s" alone is the force responsible for irresistibly uniting Śiva and Śakti. There is an even greater secret: this letter "s" means the eight-petalled lotus of the Śrīcakra; it unites the sixteen-petalled lotus or Bīja (Śiva) with the subsequent three sets of angles or Yoni (Śakti) of the Śrīcakra; this union manifests the Universe as the Bhūpura of the Śrīcakra. The letter "ph" means the White Bindu or the immediate Śiva. The letter "r" means the red Bindu or the illuminating Śakti. The Praṇava "om̐" means the Golden Bindu or Supreme Absolute. The "sphrom̐" seed alone is Kāmakalā and Kālikā. The truth is that "phr" alone means Bhairava and Kālikā which are in no way different from Kāmeśvara and Kāmeśvari. By reciting this Mantra you are gradually realizing the Vasīkaraṇa of the Praṇava "om̐" in a violent way. The realization of the seed "sphrom̐" leads to the union and identity of your soul with the Praṇava "om̐" or the Supreme Absolute. In truth, "sphrom̐" means "Sat Tat Om̐" ("This Love, which is the Absolute Truth and without a superior, permeates the entire World and is the Supreme Absolute"). This Kāmakalākāli will put an end to all your desires by satisfying them all, without exception, but there is a problem... she will do everything you wish, good or bad. She will fulfill all your righteous desires to bless you and all your unrighteous desires to punish and teach you, just as she did to Rāvaṇa when he took the help of this Mantra to subdue Rāma and forcibly kidnap Sītā. But in the end, Kāmakalākāli helped Rāma as Guhyakāli and gave him the power to destroy Rāvaṇa. It is very important to remember that the original Dharma is Guhyakāli. Pratyaṅgirā inherited this Dharmic nature from Guhyakāli. Kāmakalākāli is more playful and will punish and teach you even through satisfying your unjust desires. Therefore, the practitioner of the Kāmakalākāli Mantra needs a Guru even more, to prevent the devotee from falling into the traps of his own ego. You must be pure inside and out if you do not want to get into trouble with the Kāmakalākāli Mantra. If you desire something that is Adharmic, it will fulfill your desire, but it will lead to punishment or learning in the end. Kāmakalākāli and Lalitā are playful, but Lalitā is more thoughtful when it comes to teaching the devotee. Kāmakalākāli is a quick and exciting journey that will take your breath away. Lalitā is a quieter trip, ideal for enjoying the view. This is the way to work with Kāmakalākāli, according to the guidance of the Divine Mother. (Contribution credit to Shri Jothi Agaval)
The bhūta bīja (seed) mantra sphrem̐ represents all the natural elements such as air, water, fire, earth and ether. It consists of the letter ‘sa’, which is the pṛthvi tattva Śiva, meaning the omniscience of Lord Śiva and His presence in all matter. The letter ‘pha’ represents sphuraṇa meaning pulsation or vibration, which is the duality of matter as both wave and mass. The letter ‘ra’ is Ananta tejomayi or the all illuminating Brahman as the Divine Mother Mahākālī. The letter ‘e’ is the Divine Mother Vāṇi, Who indicates speech and knowledge. The letter ‘m̐’ is nāda-bindu that dispels sorrow. Together, the signification is that the Divine Mother exists in all forms of matter, waveforms, sound frequencies and is the source of illumination of both the material and spiritual existence. All sorrow is dispelled by any of the specified means indicated by this bīja.
The word ‘Kāma’ is desire and all wishes. ‘Kalā’ is ‘avastha’ or the diffent states and situations that are possible. The Divine Mother Kālī is the kriyā śakti of Lord Mahākāla, who has the power to transform our state and completely dispel all sorrows. She is the controller of time and heralds all change and has the power to change the status quo and annihilate even the most stubborn karma that could be impacting our growth in the material and/or spiritual realms.
This mantra is a prayer to the Goddess Śrī Kāmakalākālī, asking Her to come to our rescue and remove all negative energies and inimical forces acting upon us and also to free us from all bad karma and help with our well-being. She will completely transform us and remove all types or sorrow, be it material or spiritual. One becomes free of diseases, poverty and all types of bad karma. She is fast acting and very forceful! The devotees will never be disappointed by investing their faith in Her.

Hi Sir, is it necessary for all the mantras to have a 'kīlakaṃ '? If yes, may I know if there is a 'kīlakaṃ' for this mantra?
January 14, 2019 07:32 AM
Not all mantras have kīlakaṃ. This particular mantra does not have it and hence not mentioned in the declarative viniyogaḥ verse.
January 14, 2019 11:40 AM
Sir, Thanks for Providing the Information. Really blessed.
January 14, 2019 09:43 PM
Namaste! 1) I have been hearing the words similar to 'powerful' regarding certain mantras. I am confused on what exactly 'powerful/forceful' is. Could you please throw some light on this? 2) What kind of changes can one expect around them after chanting this trailokyakarṣaṇa mantraḥ? 3) Also, one says that results vary based on our karma. But, if this mantra is said to burn all the karmas, results are obvious, right? 4) So, if a person who is carrying a heavy load of karma burden, starts chanting this mantra with devotion, will his karmas be annihilated? And he gets all that he wanted and desires fulfilled(of course, only legal desires)? I am sure you will answer these questions. Thanks a lot for that.
January 15, 2019 11:03 AM
1. Some mantras are regarded as very secretive because of their inherent power that only few adepts might gain and experience. For example, this particular mantra is described by Lord Śiva in the Mahākāla Saṃhitā, that even with countless heads over countless yugā-s (epochs), He would not be able to describe it's power and greatness. There is only surviving manuscript of this document found in Nepal. Gurus even avoided disseminating this knowledge to their disciples unless they were excellent and highly worthy. To describe further, such power or force is quite significant in transforming the fate of the devotee and bestowing auspicious results.
2. This mantra is a precursor to the Mahāṣoḍaśa nyāsā-s that are said to help one achieve even the most impossible tasks, if one gains siddhi. This is also a necessity for those intending to recite the kāmakalākālī trailokya kavacam. As mentioned above, the benefits are said to be immense. Spiritual transformation appears to be a surety. All Kāli mantras are said to bestow siddhis or magical powers, if one gains siddhi through utmost devotion to the Divine Mother. If not siddhi, one will surely obtain the material benefits. Both are considered a deterrence towards higher spiritual pursuits and one or both may get bestowed to test our perseverance.
3. Mantra japa is also karma. Any action we perform, accumulates karma. It is very common to not experience any benefit through mantra recitation in a short period of time. There are various reasons for it and can be learned in the series of articles such as - Fructification of mantras, understanding mantras etc.
4. Mantras do burn karmas. There are many who have experienced self-realization through śrī vidyā and Mahāṣoḍaśi mantras. With a lot of effort, patience and a spiritual bent of mind, one can definitely see some difference with mantra japa. For some, it may take a few months and for most people, including myself, it takes many years to experience a change. In my own case, I had no idea of how to perform mantra japa and for many years, could not find a guru to help. Those that I found initially, only sought money and taught nothing. All I can say is, if you have found a true guru and/or good information to help you on your spiritual path, then you are very lucky. One of the biggest pitfalls in mantra japa, is seeking wish-fulfillment. Although this is the very reason most of us take up mantra japa, it is best NOT to seek anything from the deity or mantra. You may be surprised with what all you may get, if you do not seek anything! Lastly, One needs to have faith and perseverance. The rest will follow. I do not know if what you are seeking is in my reply. But it is surely there somewhere hidden on this website. Continue to stir this ocean of knowledge called manblunder and you may find your answer. Good luck!
January 15, 2019 09:57 PM
Very valuable information sir. I have been chanting Sowbhagya Panchadasi Mantra for quite sometime now. I hardly do the mantra japa for a couple of minutes a day. I don't do any nyasas. I only chant the main mantra. But still, mata is with me helping in many ways. But now a days I am being attracted towards Kali, Pratyangira and other fierceful ugra deities, I don't know why. So, now I have stopped here at Kamakala kali. I want to start the japan of the mantra which is given in Mahakala Samhita (trailokyakarsana mantra, as lord siva himself addressed that even with countless heads over countless yugā-s (epochs), He would not be able to describe it's power and greatness). I truly don't believe in anga nyasa, kara nyasa and other nyasas. I will start chanting the trailokyakarsana mantra alone and leave the rest to the ultimate Maa. Any suggestions will be appreciated, thank you!!!
January 16, 2019 01:39 AM
This is a tantric mantra that does not start with om̐. I would strongly suggest to use the nyāsa-s at least the kara and aṅga. After performing about 30,000 japa or after aligning with breath, one can skip if time does not allow it. I would however strongly suggest following the prescribed method to protect oneself, from any harm and obstacles towards mantra japa. In your case, Saubhāgya Pañcadaśi seems to be working well. I would suggest that you stick to the same mantra. There is no need to go for other mantras. The option is however left to you. I normally don't suggest anyone to practice more than one mantra at a time, although many continue to do so, either openly or secretly. We have the feeling that more benefits can accrue from chanting many mantras. It may not be true, as the same benefits may accrue from the same mantra, when chanted more number of times. It is best to dedicate more time towards the mantra japa of one mantra vs splitting time to recite many mantras. You may complete the prescribed japa of one mantra and then proceed to another or at least make a commitment of reciting x number of japa for one mantra, before proceeding to another. Please do consider getting an initiation or if you cannot find an appropriate guru, you may go through the self-initiation procedures at least.
January 16, 2019 04:16 PM
Understood, I will follow Kara and anga nyasas. May I know if we need to add one more ली in कामकलाकाली करतलकरपृष्ठाभ्यां नमः? Also, in the mantra is is mentioned कामकलाकालि , so do we need to change it to ली as well? Thank you again.
January 17, 2019 01:27 AM
It has been encoded as per the tantra. Please follow as it is, especially the mantra.

Sure, sir. Thank you. I got confused between लि and ली. Except in the main mantra everywhere it is mentioned ली.
December 20, 2019 05:11 PM
Sir, in this comment you mentioned "For some, it may take a few months and for most people, including myself, it takes many years to experience a change. In my own case, I had no idea of how to perform mantra japa and for many years, could not find a guru to help." --- I am in the same position, have been into the path of spirituality for 3 years now and no progress has been made. I am lost. I have tried several mantras and nothing worked. May be I lacked the vision. I am tired and help less now. I request you to guide me with your experience and help me achieving my goals in the path of spirituality. As I understand you were in the same situation, how did you overcome all the difficulties and progressed forward?
December 21, 2019 01:04 AM
You can recite the Gāyatri mantra before sunrise 108 times on each cakra. Then another 3 mālas on the ājñā cakra. Please do this for a few months. Also, you can recite any one mantra that you have taken an oath to recite and stick to it. Let it resonate within you and become part of your breath. Mantras will work when our mind is calm and our doubts are put at rest. But it is not easy to calm the mind and the mind will not allow you to believe the words of your guru also, if results don't accrue. Unfortunately, this is the reality in today's materialistic world. Please try this procedure for a few months. Make sure that the Gāyatri mantra is recited before sunrise on the cakras. If you cannot do the 10 mālas as suggested, then start small. Start with 3 recitations on each cakra, slowly increase to 5, 9, 11, 21 etc. If things work out and the karmic load lessens, you will find the drive to recite more. May the Divine Mother help and assist you on your spiritual journey.
December 21, 2019 04:55 PM
Understood, sir. How do I train my mind to concentrate on the chakras? I tried and failed. Is there a technique that I could follow? Please guide me through this, I will be grateful to you.
July 26, 2020 10:37 PM
Sir, 1) if I have decided to recite a mantra for life. Then in the morning, I should chant 10 malas of Gayatri as mentioned and then recite the mantra that I am interested in, right? 2) Gayatri recitation on the chakras lessen the karma and help in rectification of the mantra that I am interested in, right?
July 29, 2020 09:52 AM
Yes to both 1 and 2.
February 27, 2019 05:19 PM
Hi sir, could you please point us to some of the resources where we get more information on Kamakala Kali? I have got an urge for her and I want to know more about her and travel in the path which leads to her.. thank you! Any references which are not in Hindi/Sanskrit are appreciated...!
April 02, 2019 02:42 PM
Hi Sir. To align with breath this mantra, where to give stops? What to inhale and what part to exhale. thanks you. also, is any curse for this mantra
April 03, 2019 10:50 AM
I would recommend that you split in this manner - klīm̐ krīm̐ hūm̐ krom̐ sphrem̐ (Inhale) kāmakalākāli (hold breath) sphrem̐ krom̐ hūm̐ krīm̐ klīm̐ svāhā (exhanle). Repeat the first part of the mantra that was used for inhalation, while holding breath and the second part while inhaling. We are splitting the mantra into three parts and fitting them in the four phases of the breathing cycle. Based on one's capacity, the entire mantra can also be fit into each phase of the breathing cycle.
April 03, 2019 03:38 PM
thanks you sir. correct my understanding: 1) inhale - klīm̐ krīm̐ hūm̐ krom̐ sphrem̐ 2) hold - kāmakalākāli 3) exhale - sphrem̐ krom̐ hūm̐ krīm̐ klīm̐ svāhā 4) inhale - klīm̐ krīm̐ hūm̐ krom̐ sphrem̐ 5) hold - kāmakalākāli 6) exhale - sphrem̐ krom̐ hūm̐ krīm̐ klīm̐ svāhā and so on... right?
April 04, 2019 08:52 AM
Yes, that is correct. Sometimes when holding breath is not possible, one can just distribute over inhalation and exhalation.
May 06, 2019 11:39 AM
Hi sir, What should a person do if he is continuously getting the thoughts of renunciation and leaving this world? He couldn't concentrate on anything, always heart beats at 144. Always worried about something, no peace. no success in anything. Can he follow his mind and leave?
May 07, 2019 06:17 AM
If you are getting these thoughts and are single with no family responsibilities, you may pursue the path of renunciation after taking permission from close family members and under the guidance of a guru. If any of these do not apply, then please scale down your expectations and start small. You are just going through a very bad patch that most people also experience but may not express openly. You may seek guidance from a well-versed guru, who might be able to help you through these troubled times. In case you are reciting this mantra, you may benefit from the associated Mahāṣoḍhānyāsa.
May 07, 2019 09:34 AM
Thank you sir for your kind reply. I am single but have responsibility to take care of my parents. For namesake, I an Artificial Intelligence Engineer. But in reality the situation is different. I have to think 10,000 times to spend even a single rupee. Full of debts. Insecurity in job. Lot of struggle to get even a simple thing done. Vexed with life. I have always been grounded with very minimal expectations from life. But still problems haunt me. I don't know why. At the moment, I am taking beatings from all the 8 sides. Hence, I get the thoughts of renouncing the world. I really don't have the courage to leave the physical body. So, wanted to go in exile. I can't even do that just because of my parents. I have to do something for them to sustain in life with peace. But, I am getting blank day by day. And yes, I am chanting this mantra as I am more attracted towards this. I could barely chant 3-4 minutes a day and then my mind gets off. As you mentioned about Mahāṣoḍhānyāsa, is this the one you are referring to? https://www.manblunder.com/articlesview/sri-kamakala-kalika-sodhanyasa-mahamantrah or https://www.manblunder.com/articlesview/sri-dakshina-kali-shoda-nyasa Could you please guide me sir.. thank you for reading all this and understanding my feelings.
May 07, 2019 12:05 PM
Most of us are in similar situations and facing numerous hurdles in the material world. It's part of our karma and cannot be avoided. You have a job and thereby a means to pay off your debts etc. You may need to look out for better opportunities and probably get more education and skills etc. Renouncement is not an option for you with responsibilities upon you. This Karma yoga and you have to undergo it. Practicing mantras for 3-4 minutes a day is practically useless. You need to spare an hour or two, if you are serious about overcoming your problems through these tools. For the current moment, drop everything and focus ONLY on Dhanada devi and Her stotram and kavacam. Repeat both thrice a day with full devotion for a couple of months and let's see how things change in your life. The Mahāṣoḍhānyāsa of Kāmakalā Kāli has not been published yet on this site. You can find it in the Mahākāla Samhita.
May 07, 2019 01:42 PM
Thanks a lot for your valuable suggestions sir. I will be hopeful and follow your words.
May 07, 2019 05:15 PM
NIce, Sir. Looking forward to the Mahāṣoḍhānyāsa of Kāmakalā Kāli. Please post them when time permits.
May 27, 2019 10:10 AM
Hello dear admin. May I know the procedure to be followed to directly talk to mother Kali and see her? It must be a direct one on one conversation with her. I want to see her and talk to her, please guide me with the steps to be followed... thank you
May 27, 2019 11:17 PM
It can only happen with the grace of the Divine Mother. It is possible for those who are Her ardent devotees and have been successful in opening some cakras within the body. You may follow any of Her mantra japas and also the Kuṇḍalini meditation, to be able to achieve your goals.
May 28, 2019 09:40 AM
Thank you ji. It's my life ambition to see and talk to her directly. May I know where to start with Kundalini meditation?
May 28, 2019 11:50 PM
You can start Kuṇḍalini meditation any time. Please seek the assistance and blessings of an able guru before proceeding.
May 29, 2019 10:38 AM
Ji, dhanyawad. I don't know who an able guru is and where to find one. So, I treat Kali maa as my guru and travel in the path that she shows me, whatever it is. I will follow her blindly. But, can you help me in finding a person who can guide me in Kundalini meditation?
May 31, 2019 03:09 AM
Please go through the articles published in this site related to the Kuṇḍalini meditation. You may contact anyone listed on the mantra initiations page for further assistance.
June 15, 2023 06:06 PM
I salute gurus, the light of divinity, I ask permission from them to publish this mantra: Om Hrim Shreem Klim Kalikayai darshaya darshaya Kameshvaryai prasida prasida svapnam me nivada Kulastriyai kuru kuru hum hum phat phat svaha
June 18, 2023 09:06 AM
I have not come across this mantra. Can you please provide the source so I can lookup and consider publishing it for you? We usually don't publish śābara mantras and I am hoping that this does not fall in that category. There are some very good books available on śābara mantras which you may lookup, in case this mantra comes in that category. If not, I will definitely consider publishing it in full if you can provide the source with the full japa vidhi, in case you are aware. Either way, I will search for it.
August 03, 2019 10:39 PM
Hi Sir, this would be my last question here as the time has come for me to stick to one single mantra for the rest of life. Please forgive my ignorance and answer this question. I have chanted Saubhagya Panchadasi for some time, Maha Shodashi for some time and Kama Kala Kali mantra for some time. All of these forms of devi mantras helpmed me in one or the other ways. Now I would want to decide which one to take up for the rest of my life. I know everything is her and she takes care of everything in any of the forms that we meditate on. But, if I have to stick to one, which one would suggest? I am looking for quicker path to attain everything in life. I am ready to dedicate time for the sadhana, how intense it may be. I only want quicker blessing of maa. So, which mantra would I chose? My mind says to go with Kama Kala Kali mantra. Please help me sir. This is my last question and I would stop searching further and devote myself to one mantra.
August 05, 2019 02:51 AM
You will be served best, by sticking to any one mantra. It is also important that you read and comprehend the scriptures related to spirituality, such as the upanishads, vedanta etc. and further your knowledge. Let the Divine Mother guide you and if your mind is drawn towards this mantra, so be it.
August 05, 2019 10:12 AM
Thank you sir. I will surely read and understand the scriptures. We have vedas, puranas, upapuranas, upanishads etc.. There are many. Considering I am a novice, which one should I take up first? For example, if upanishads is the best way to start, which one to take up first. Thank you very much.
December 23, 2019 05:49 AM
A few rounds of prāṇāyama should be performed before the japa. Also, mantra japa should not be performed immediately after consuming meals. One must wait a couple of hours at least. Please ensure that the breath is coming through the left nostril or both nostrils, if possible. Sit in a comfortable posture at a quiet location, wherever that maybe and then begin focusing on one cakra at a time and perform the mantra japa. The mind will get distracted, but bring back the focus and continue the japa. Do not lose hope and continue. It is not easy even for experienced sādhakas to keep their mind fully focused. It is for this very reason, the japa count is very large. Focusing on breath and aligning the mantra with phases of a breath cycle is also highly desirable and result fetching. All of these have been mentioned in various articles on this website. Please look in the mantras section.
April 07, 2020 01:50 PM
Hi sir. In terms of purely materialistic benefits and the time to see some effects, which one would you suggest? Kamakala Kali mantra or Sowbhagya Panchadasi mantra? Thank you.
April 09, 2020 07:38 AM
I would not recommend either of them for purely materialistic needs. You may choose Dhanada Devi or any other graha related mantras that maybe more appropriate for you. The deities you mentioned are very powerful in transforming and uplifting our spiritual levels, much more than materialistic aspects. Chances are, you may lose interest in material pursuits with their worship.
September 08, 2020 03:48 PM
Sir, in your comment "The deities you mentioned are very powerful in transforming and uplifting our spiritual levels, much more than materialistic aspects. Chances are, you may lose interest in material pursuits with their worship.", But, if the person who really gets siddhi in any of these mantras, if he wants to pursue materialistic benefits (if his interest is very strong), he can get whatever he wishes, right? (Of course, he will not, but if he wants to)
September 09, 2020 05:02 AM
Yes it is possible if the mantra siddhi is gained.
May 29, 2020 12:33 AM
If I just stick to this kamakala kali trailokyakarṣaṇa mantraḥ for life, would all my legal wishes be fulfilled?
May 29, 2020 09:50 AM
It is possible, but the mantra is extremely powerful and should be received via initiation, from a practicing guru of this mantra.
June 10, 2020 11:32 PM
Krishna sir, do you know anyone who practice this mantra? I want to take up this mantra for life.
June 13, 2020 06:26 AM
One of my gurus has practiced it and does not recommend for material gains. He is certain that this lead to liberation and should be taken up by very mature and experienced sādhakas.
August 06, 2020 06:38 PM
Sir, You mentioned in the Purpose: Wealth & Status. Also, are there any mandatory Kavacha, Stotras required to be recited along with this mantra for acquiring results?
August 07, 2020 04:38 AM
Yes, they exist. We haven't published them yet. Primarily, one must perform the āvaraṇa pūja and the ṣoḍhā nyāsa. The kavacam is already published on our site.
January 08, 2021 12:00 PM
Hi sir, please consider this as a special request. Some sources are mentioning "Sphrem" and some "Sphrom" as the beeja in this mantra. Here in this link it is mentioned "Sphrom" (https://archive.org/details/MahakalaSamhitaUttaraKhandaKamaKalaKhandaDr.KishoriNathJha/page/n347/mode/2up). Another book by another author has "Sphrem". Could you please verify which one is correct for the benefit of all? Thank you very much.
January 09, 2021 06:01 AM
The bhūta bīja (seed) mantra sphrem̐ is correct in my opinion. But you may go with whatever is given to you by a qualified guru. It is essential to perform the related Ṣoḍhā nyāsā and Āvaraṇa pūja, in addition to reciting the kavacam on a regular basis (daily if possible), to see any meaningful results from this mantra. It is most essential, to obtain an initiation from a qualified guru as well.
August 13, 2020 05:55 PM
Sir, if I am not using any japa mala and want to count with my fingers itself, can we skip the sections 7 and 14? Also, does this part "मन्त्र॥ ॐ ह्रीं सिद्ध्यै नमः॥" belong to section 14? And, in Dhyana, we need to recite all the slokas, right?
August 14, 2020 09:28 PM
You may skip those sections if you are counting on your fingers. I would suggest a Japa mālā for better experience, but if you have been advised accordingly by your guru, then you may follow the same. The āvaraṇa pūja and the ṣoḍhā nyāsa are considered essential for Her sādhana. We will publish these in due course of time. You may obtain the same from several books and more importantly, from your own guru.
August 15, 2020 10:23 AM
Thank you sir. Is ṣoḍhā nyāsa same as "https://www.manblunder.com/articlesview/sri-dakshina-kali-shoda-nyasa", by replacing with this mantra? If no, please tell me in which book can we find? I will try to find and read :)
September 10, 2020 07:23 PM
sir, in स्फ्रेँ का कवचाय हुँ, english text says "touch the eyes......"? Please correct. Thank you
September 11, 2020 10:23 PM
Thank you for pointing out the error. It has been corrected.
December 08, 2020 06:19 PM
Sir, in कामकलाकाली करतलकरपृष्ठाभ्यां नमः, do we need to add ली and make it कामकलाकाली ली करतलकरपृष्ठाभ्यां नमः, because we are each letter of कामकलाकाली to nyasa? Thank you.
December 08, 2020 11:21 PM
Yes, you are right. The corrections are now in place. Thank you for pointing out the errors.
December 09, 2020 02:50 PM
Hi sir. i am wishing for this mantra. any thing before this one? i means ganapati mantra before chant this mantra? or i do suklam baradaram and guru brahma guru vishnu and then chant this mantra? or any other needed. please. thanks.
December 10, 2020 02:43 PM
If you are about the Siddhi Vinayak Mantra then I have taken this mantra and another (Saraswati mantra) from this website: https://www.gurushakti.org.in/67/sadhna/success-in-life/siddhi-vinayak-mantra To get good results in practicing this mantra I recommend getting Siddhi Vinayak Diksha: https://www.gurushakti.org.in/255/diksha/ganapati-or-siddhi-vinayak-diksha The first link says how much you need to read this mantra. Here is a brief description of the experience after receiving Siddhi Vinayak Dikshi and chanting this mantra: https://www.gurushakti.org.in/280/success-stories/experience-of-siddhi-vinayak-ganpati-mantra The site does not provide information on the full Japa procedure of this mantra, but I think it is best done with the Ganesh Gayatri mantra and some Stotras. The Japa procedure for this mantra might look like this: First, you can read a Shloka or a mantra to remove obstacles — 1.) ॐ श्री गणेशाय नमः oṃ śrī gaṇeśāya namaḥ 2.) वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा Vakratuṇḍa mahākāya sūryakoṭi samaprabha nirvighnaṃ kuru me deva sarvakāryeṣu sarvadā here is its meaning — ( घुमावदार सूंड वाले, विशाल शरीर काय, करोड़ सूर्य के समान महान प्रतिभाशाली। मेरे प्रभु, हमेशा मेरे सारे कार्य बिना विघ्न के पूरे करें॥ O Lord Ganesha of the curved trunk and massive body, the one whose splendor is equal to millions of Suns, please bless me to that I do not face any obstacles in my endeavors.) 3.) शुक्लाम्बरधरं विष्णुं शशिवर्णं चतुर्भुजम् । प्रसन्नवदनं ध्यायेत् सर्वविघ्नोपशान्तये ॥ śuklāmbaradharaṃ viṣṇuṃ śaśivarṇaṃ caturbhujam । prasannavadanaṃ dhyāyet sarvavighnopaśāntaye ॥ After these slokas you can recite this mantra: ॐ परम् तत्वाय नारायणाय गुरुभ्यो नमः oṃ param tatvāya nārāyaṇāya gurubhyo namaḥ All the above-mentioned slokas and mantras should be read 3, 7, 9, 21, 27, 36 times as much as possible but that will be enough. Next you can read the Ganesh Gayatri mantra: ॐ एकदंताय विद्महे, वक्रतुण्डाय धीमहि, तन्नो दंती प्रचोदयात् oṃ ekadantāya vidmahe vakratuṇḍāya dhīmahi tanno dantiḥ pracodayāt here is its meaning — (यह भगवान श्री गणेश का गायत्री मंत्र है इसमें कहा गया है कि हम उस परमात्मा स्वरुप एकदंत यानि एक दांत वाले भगवान श्री गणेश, जो कि सर्वव्यापी हैं, जिनकी सूंड हाथी के सूंड की तरह मुड़ी हुई है उनसे प्रार्थना करते हैं एवं सद्बुद्धि की कामना करते हैं। हम भगवान श्री गणेश को नमन करते हैं एवं प्रार्थना करते हैं कि वे अपने आशीर्वाद से हमारे मन-मस्तिष्क से अज्ञान के अंधकार को मिटाकर ज्ञान से प्रकाशित करें।) (We pray to the one with the single-tusked elephant tooth who is omnipresent. We meditate upon and pray for greater intellect to the Lord with the curved, elephant-shaped trunk. We bow before the one with the single-tusked elephant tooth to illuminate our minds with wisdom.) Next you can read Stotram compiled by Radha here he is: परं धाम परं ब्रह्म परेशं परमीश्वरं विघ्न्-निघ्न्-करं शान्तं पुष्टं कान्तमनन्तकम् सुरासुरेन्द्रैः सिद्धेन्द्रैः स्तुतं स्तौमि परात्परं सुरपद्मदिनेशं च गणेशं मंगलायनम् इदं स्तोत्रं महापुण्यं विघ्नशोकहरं परम् यः पठेत् प्रातरूत्थाय सर्वविघ्नात् प्रमुच्यते ॐ श्री ब्रह्मवैवर्ते श्रीराधाकृतं गणेश स्तोत्रम् सम्पूर्णम् । Paraṃ dhāma paraṃ brahma pareśaṃ paramīśvaraṃ vighna-nighna-karaṃ śāntaṃ puṣṭaṃ kāntamanantakam surāsurendraiḥ siddhendraiḥ stutaṃ staumi parātparaṃ surapadmadineśaṃ ca gaṇeśaṃ maṇgalāyanam idaṃ stotraṃ mahāpuṇyaṃ vighnaśokaharaṃ param yaḥ paṭhet prātarūtthāya sarvavighnāt pramucyate oṃ śrī brahmavaivarte śrīrādhākṛtaṃ gaṇeśa stotram sampūrṇam Next you can read Ganesh Dwadashanama Stotram thinking deeply about the meaning of each name, here it is: शुक्लाम्बरधरं विष्णुं शशिवर्णं चतुर्भुजम् । प्रसन्नवदनं ध्यायेत्सर्वविघ्नोपशान्तयेः ॥ 1 ॥ अभीप्सितार्थ सिध्यर्थं पूजितो यः सुरासुरैः । सर्वविघ्नहरस्तस्मै गणाधिपतये नमः ॥ 2 ॥ गणानामधिपश्चण्डो गजवक्त्रस्त्रिलोचनः । प्रसन्नो भव मे नित्यं वरदातर्विनायक ॥ 3 ॥ सुमुखश्चैकदन्तश्च कपिलो गजकर्णकः । लम्बोदरश्च विकटो विघ्ननाशो विनायकः ॥ 4 ॥ धूम्रकेतुर्गणाध्यक्षो फालचन्द्रो गजाननः । द्वादशैतानि नामानि गणेशस्य तु यः पठेत् ॥ 5 ॥ विद्यार्थी लभते विद्यां धनार्थी विपुलं धनम् । इष्टकामं तु कामार्थी धर्मार्थी मोक्षमक्षयम् ॥ 6 ॥ विध्यारम्भे विवाहे च प्रवेशे निर्गमे तथा । सङ्ग्रामे सङ्कटे चैव विघ्नस्तस्य न जायते ॥ 7 ॥ इति मुद्गलपुराणोक्तं श्रीगणेशद्वादशनामस्तोत्रं सम्पूर्णम् śuklāmbaradharaṃ viṣṇuṃ śaśivarṇaṃ caturbhujam । prasannavadanaṃ dhyāyetsarvavighnopaśāntayeḥ ॥ 1 ॥ abhīpsitārtha siddhyarthaṃ pūjito yaḥ surāsuraiḥ । sarvavighnaharastasmai gaṇādhipataye namaḥ ॥ 2 ॥ gaṇānāmadhipaścaṇḍo gajavaktrastrilocanaḥ । prasanno bhava me nityaṃ varadātarvināyaka ॥ 3 ॥ sumukhaścaikadantaśca kapilo gajakarṇakaḥ । lambodaraśca vikaṭo vighnanāśo vināyakaḥ ॥ 4 ॥ dhūmraketurgaṇādhyakṣo phālacandro gajānanaḥ । dvādaśaitāni nāmāni gaṇeśasya tu yaḥ paṭhet ॥ 5 ॥ vidyārthī labhate vidyāṃ dhanārthī vipulaṃ dhanam । iṣṭakāmaṃ tu kāmārthī dharmārthī mokṣamakṣayam ॥ 6 ॥ vidhyārambhe vivāhe ca praveśe nirgame tathā । saṅgrāme saṅkaṭe caiva vighnastasya na jāyate ॥ 7 ॥ iti mudgalapurāṇoktaṃ śrīgaṇeśadvādaśanāmastotraṃ sampūrṇam On Fridays you can read Lakshmi-Ganesh Stotram here it is: ॐ नमो विघ्नराजाय सर्वसौख्यप्रदायिने । दुष्टारिष्ट विनाशाय पराय परमात्मने ।। लम्बोदरं महावीर्यं नागयज्ञोपशोभितं । अर्धचन्द्रधरं देवं विघ्नव्यूहः विनाशनम् ।। ॐ ह्रां ह्रीं ह्रूं ह्रैं ह्रौं ह्रः हेरम्बाय नमो नमः। सर्वसिद्धिप्रदोऽसि त्वं सिद्धिबुद्धि प्रदोभवः।। चिन्तितार्थ प्रदस्त्वं हि सततं हि मोदकप्रियः। सिन्दूरारुण वस्त्रेश्च पूजितो वरदायकः।। इदं गणपतिम स्तोत्रम् यः पठेद् भक्तिमानः नरः। तस्य देहं च् गेहं च् स्वयम् लक्ष्मीर्न: मुञ्चति:।। oṃ namo vighnarājāya sarvasaukhyapradāyine । duṣṭāriṣṭa vināśāya parāya paramātmane ।। lambodaraṃ mahāvīryaṃ nāgayajñopaśobhitaṃ । ardhacandradharaṃ devaṃ vighnavyūhaḥ vināśanam ।। oṃ hrāṃ hrīṃ hrūṃ hraiṃ hrauṃ hraḥ herambāya namo namaḥ। sarvasiddhiprado'si tvaṃ siddhibuddhi pradobhavaḥ।। cintitārtha pradastvaṃ hi satataṃ hi modakapriyaḥ। sindūrāruṇa vastreśca pūjito varadāyakaḥ।। idaṃ gaṇapatima stotram yaḥ paṭhed bhaktimānaḥ naraḥ। tasya dehaṃ ca gehaṃ ca svayam lakṣmīrna: muñcati:।। Then you can read Siddhi Vinayak Mantra: ॐ नमो सिद्धि विनायकाय सर्व कार्य कर्त्रे सर्व विघ्न प्रशमनाय सर्व राज्य वश्यकरणाय सर्वजन सर्वस्त्रीपुरुष आकर्षणाय श्रीं ॐ स्वाहा oṃ namo siddhi vināyakāya sarva kārya kartre sarva vighna praśamanāya sarva rājya vaśyakaraṇāya sarvajana sarvastrīpuruṣa ākarṣaṇāya śrīṃ oṃ svāhā Read this mantra at least 108 times and better (4x108=432) times (although it is possible and more it depends on the time), then you need to make Samputa from the above Stotras here's how it should look: First you briefly worship your Guru if he is not there then worship all the other Gurus with whom you have connections that you like you can worship Guru Dattatreya as they say he is very merciful to those who worship him and immediately bless them. You can spend a short Ganesh Puja. Then read one or more as you want Shlokas or mantras listed in paragraph 1.). The Japa procedure looks like this: 1.) oṃ śrī gaṇeśāya namaḥ (read 1 time). 2.) Ganesh Gayatri mantra (read 108 time). 3.) Radha Kritam Ganesh Stotram (read 1-3 time). 4.) Ganesh Dwadashanama Stotram (read 1 time). 5.) Lakshmi-Ganesh Stotram (You can read only on Friday, and you can on other days, read 1 time). 6.) Siddhi Vinayak Ganesh Mantra (read 4x108 time). 7.) Lakshmi-Ganesh Stotram (You can read only on Friday, and you can on other days, read 1 time). 8.) Ganesh Dwadashanama Stotram (read 1 time). 9.) Radha Kritam Ganesh Stotram (read 1-3 time). 10.) Ganesh Gayatri mantra (read 108 time). 11.) oṃ śrī gaṇeśāya namaḥ (read 1 time). Next, one should briefly worship Ganesha and Guru as well as at the beginning of the Japa Mantra. This is the whole procedure of Mantra Japa, I say again that this is purely my procedure, I would follow it. However, for best results and guidance in this practice, you should consult the Guru, if you do not have such an opportunity, you can follow the procedure I have given. May you all succeed in this practice and may the divine mother bless you.
August 28, 2021 07:47 PM
I am a seeker of enlightenment and new Father. I want both spiritual and material benefits. Not just material benefits. How is this Klim mantra a different mantra than Shrim in effects? They both Give spiritual and material blessings so they both look like equal fructification mantras. Am I right? "The kāma bīja (seed mantra) klīm̐, represents fulfillment of all desires, spiritual and material, as well as granting great powers of attraction. The bīja also consists of ‘ka’ which is Lord Mahākāla’s (an aspect of Lord Śiva) Kamalā śakti, representing the evolution of consciousness. The letter ‘la’ is pṛthvi tattva and represents Earth. The letter ‘ī’ represents Mahāmāyā, the virtual reality. The letter ‘m̐’ is nāda-bindu that dispels sorrow. Together, it represents attainment and fulfillment, of all Earthly and material desires and pursuits."

Congratulations on the new arrival! Blessings to you and your family! Both the seed mantras help in the fulfillment of desires. The mantra śrīm̐ is for both spiritual and material fruition of all our objectives and desires. These seed mantras as part of a mantra or by themselves may yield the results when the associated japa procedures are properly initiated and followed. There is always the karma factor that we possess that may hinder with the japa and it may result in more time, but some results will follow if we persist.

Thank you thank you Krishna ji. Happy Jatamansi! Ok, so they both fullfil all desires and objectives. But it seems Klīm has the added benefit of attraction? I wonder why Klīm isn't used in formulating atma bija. Klīm is my favorite bija. The Masters here tell me that Shrīm was formulated as my atma bija. I'm a little sad, haha

The intelligent devotee must understand that Kāmakalā Kāli is the head of all forms of Kāli and identical with Tripura Sundari. The only difference is that Kāmakalā Kāli is the inverse of Tripura Sundari in gentleness and aggressiveness. Everything Kāmakalā Kāli does is oppositely aggressive from what Tripura Sundari would do. The power of attraction of Kāmakalā Kāli and Pratyaṅgirā is the most powerful there is. Kāmakalā Kāli attracts by force and is irresistible. Tripura Sundari is recommended for Satya Yuga and Kāmakalā Kāli is recommended for Kali Yuga. But Guhya Kali is something quite mysterious. Guhya Kali is the presiding power of the Siddha Kunjika Stotram, but it has been modified, so the power of Guhya Kali is secretly set in motion in this Stotra, and that is why it is so powerful.

Good afternoon, what do you offer? Can you elaborate on this topic? Thanks.

This is not entirely true. Kamakalakali is the highest only of the nine forms of Kali. But the tenth form, Adyakali, is superior to all nine forms. This is stated in Taradipika Tantra 9.12. Therefore, the basic and highest form of Kali, in Kali-Kula, is Adyakali.

Namaste Dhana. The form of Kali endowed with royal powers is Kamakalakali. She is at the center of all forms of Kali, even if there are more esoteric forms of her (Adyakali, Pratyangira and others). Royalty is something very powerful because it is associated with ruling over everyone. This type of authority belongs to the Kamakala aspect of the Singular Reality. This is exactly what people confuse when they say that Mahashodashi is superior to Tripurasundari and that Guhyakali (Maha Siddhikarali) is superior to Kamakalakali.

Namaste Jothiji. I need your help please; I have been practicing Atmaraksha mantra of Pratyangira Devi as a means of resolving severe black magic problem. After practicing for a while, I noticed that I have lost a lot of body fat while the black magic problem has reduced to some extent. Do you have any idea what could be causing the bodily mass loss? Is it possible that the black magic is attacking me so that I leave the sadhana? I also perfected one of the Riks for Atharvana Bhadrakali for defense purposes..could you advise how I could use/deploy the weapon for protection? Lastly, I have read that certain mantras/ procedures should be followed when chanting Pratyangira mantras to cool her down..could you please shed some light on what are those for me? Grateful if you could help. Thank you.

This Kāmakalākāḻī is called mahā-saumya-mahā-ghora-rūpa-dhāriṇi. This means that she has the most terrible form to look at, but at the same time this form is the most pleasant and attractive to look at. Her power of attraction is extremely violent. Kāmakalākāḻī is that kind of contradiction. Something similar happens with Lalitā, because although she has the most pleasant look, she can also be as violent as Kāmakalākāḻī. This form of Kāḻī is also called sāyujyāmṛtadāyinī. She bestows the states of Immanence and Transcendence with the Supreme equal Mahātripurasundarī. But why are there two instead of one Mother? It is part of the divine play of the Divine Mother. When one looks at Mahātripurasundarī, the devotee does not suspect and even doubts that she can be as violent as Kāmakalākāḻī. And when the devotee looks at Kāmakalākāḻī, the devotee does not suspect and even doubts that she can be as kind and attractive as Mahātripurasundarī. Śrīkula and Kāḻīkula are a play between the Divine Mother and Creation. The final initiation of Śrīkula and Kāḻīkula are the same, although all previous initiations are different, just as two rivers flow into the same ocean.

Namaste Kevin. That's good, it means Mantra is right for you. Recite the Mantra 108 times on the first day and increase 10 repetitions per day. You will achieve 1008 repetitions per day in 3 months. After that, you will be able to recite as much as you want. Regarding weight loss, please increase the amount of food you are eating. Pratyangira is a purer fire than Agni and will destroy all your diseases, enemies and others. Recite the Mantra just one Yama (3 hours) after any meal or 30 minutes after drinking water. If you do not gradually increase the repetition of the Mantra and increase the amount of food, the fire (Pratyangira) will consume you. I do not recommend that you use Kritya Prayoga without being a devotee of Atharvana Bhadrakali and practicing her Mantra. I also think it's very dangerous. Kritya Prayoga is absolutely deadly. It's like lightning hitting a tree and instantly drying/destroying it. Just continue with Atma Raksha Mantra for now.
December 03, 2023 05:12 PM
Namaste Jothiji. My sincere gratitude and thanks for the reply. Is it mandatory to first achieve the 1008 repetitions as you described? Can I do less than 1008 repetitions per day after completing the first 3 months cycle as you mentioned or will I have to maintain the 1008 repetitions daily after it? I will abide by your advice regarding Kritya shakti. I do not wish anyone harm; I just want to render the enemies doing the black magic defenseless against me and my family..we are innocent. Is there anything else to follow that you recommend while pursuing Mother Pratyangira's sadhana? Can i ask you what are the things and qualities in a devotee that pleases her the most? For the heat issue is there anything I can do to reduce it further? Thank you Jothiji. Pranaam.

Can you tell me the meaning of this mantra aruṭperuñjōti aruṭperuñjōti taṉipperuṅkaruṇai aruṭperuñjōti and how to practice it correctly? Thank you.

Only Adyakali has the status of Parabrahman in the Vamachara tantras. All other forms of Kali, regardless of their power, are only manifestations of Adyakali. Power is usually determined by the number of shmashans under their control. Therefore, there is no need to present what is desired as valid. Kamakalakali is of course very strong, she has a huge number of shmashans under her control, but she is not the central figure in the Kali Mandala, but equally as a very important avatar.

In Kali Yuga the devotee needs to wield a sharp iron sword specialized in cutting because obstacles are difficult to destroy. In the Satya Yuga the devotee must wield a beautiful unsharpened golden sword, because the obstacles are small and purity and beauty are especially important at that time. In either case, the Guru will take care of the devotee.

Namaste Jothi ji. Please guide about ParaPara Shakti. Got to know this term recently, while trying to learn more about Maa, I adore & worship.
December 03, 2023 06:12 PM
Namaste Jothi ji. What I wanted to ask, is ParaPara Shakti a higher form then Para Shakti?

Hi sir, how do we pronounce the beeja स्फ्रोँ? Should it be F sound or P sound?
May 15, 2024 01:05 AM
It is a 'Ph' sound, a stressed 'P'. I would recommend listening to its pronunciation in any Sankrit alphabet pronunciation audio/video. It should not be confused with the general Hindi pronunciation of 'F' that is a soft sound of this letter derived from Middle-Eastern languages. Also, please do not consider reciting this mantra without a proper initiation from a learned and practicing guru. It simply won't work otherwise.
May 15, 2024 11:05 AM
Is the letter "S" not pronounced at the beginning? Sphrom?
May 16, 2024 10:05 AM
Thank you, Krishna sir. @Богдан S is pronounced I believe. My doubt was only with the next syllable:)
May 17, 2024 12:05 AM
All the letters are pronounced. No silent letters.

Is it potentially useful to just chant the sphrom bija? I knew a sadhu of Baglamukhi who ended up proceeding to only mentally focusing on hlrīm bija, no other mantra, and by time he had gone beyond 12 crore, the supernatural and spiritual effects of that chanting had become very obvious and shocking to witness. I got initiated by him for that practice but I didn’t feel as drawn to that deity as was necessary for prolonged mantra sadhana, but I do feel that towards Kāmakalā Kālī, and I’ve recited her mantras and kavacham to the point of some supernatural effects, although I’ve only done the self initiation approach 3-4 times in front of Dakshinamūrthī vigraha (speaking of which, if one has no option but to attempt self initiation with faith, I speculate per my little experience, that sitting in front of Dakshinamurthy for hours on trayodashi, chanting the desired mantra the whole time, with the intention of receiving Shaktipat from Dakshinamurthy, seems potentially more likely to generate a successful initiation of the mantra. Letting your mind clear and become pervaded by the mantra in the presence of the first guru, through prolonged mental Japa, I think will make a big difference. One should probably really strive to harvest their intention and tune into the universe while tuning out other noise, for as much time as they can, to the point of altering mental state, to receive shaktipat in the absence of a physical guru)
June 17, 2024 12:06 AM
Namaste. Is Mahashodanyasa of Kāmakalā Kālī published on Sanskritdocs.org? Among the versions of Mahākala Samhitā, is it known if they are all the same? The one six volume set from exotic India art looks good, but I’ve no clue. It seems that many texts are riddled with subtle edits and various forms of pinning and sometimes subsequently added encoding

My back is paining after chanting this Kamkala Kali mantra. Could it be due to chanting this mantra? Shall I stop chanting the mantra?
October 23, 2024 05:10 AM
If you have not been initiated into this mantra, then do not recite this mantra or that of any tantric deities without following the proper procedures. Also, it is best to practice yoga and its related practices to help with the breathing and postures to prevent back pain and other issues. Sometimes even with a proper initiation, we may still face many obstacles and it is best to consult with the initiating guru for guidance on all such matters. My personal opinion is to avoid the mantras of all Higher deities until most karmic issues are sorted out and there is stability in our material life including wealth, health and general well-being of the family etc. The Higher deities initiate rapid karmic burning which may not be suitable for most people.
