Rajarsshi. The Mantra that begins with "hrīm̐" is correct and is superior to the other two previous ones that begin with "om̐". This Mantra is recent and was discovered when Bharata came into contact with our Material Universe and discovered that Mother Guhyakāḻī that begins with "om̐" assumed a more powerful form that begins with "hrīm̐" because of the emergence of a Material Universe that did not exist before. This "hrīm̐" seed is something new that only emerged because of this one Universe, not because of the other infinite ones that exist. This "hrīm̐" seed emerged only because of the contact of these deities with our Material Universe that is more complex. This Universe that you live in is new, it is a few billion years old and it is more evolved than all the other infinite Universes. Evolution is not always about power, but rather about the maximum potential of power that something can reach. Only human beings have a brain with two hemispheres; These Gods do not have this, despite having unimaginable power. They cannot love as human beings can and, consequently, cannot access the strength of the True God which is infinitely greater than theirs. But humans throw this opportunity away and think that love is something weak. You should know that the human body is everything that exists in the other infinite Universes, but combined! This human body is a miniature of everything and by knowing it one knows everything. Humans are only sick and limited because they do not yet know what they are - their Sun (Individual Soul) is disunited from the Fire (Spark of the Soul or the dynamic version of the static Jīvātman present at the top of the head) and disconnected from the Moon and the Stars (Instrumental Being and Gross Physical Body). In clearer words, human beings are operating with a "false ego" adapted to survive and their body and consciousness are operating disconnected from the "true fuel" that would make them extremely powerful, above the Gods. People talk about “killing the ego,” but this is impossible to do with the “real ego,” which is the “Sun-Soul” in the hearts of humans, which will never lose its individuality. The “false ego” is like a person who does not know how to fly an airplane and is forced to try to fly it because the real pilot with trillions of years of experience is “asleep” and does not wake up: an analogy between the “false ego” and the “real ego-soul.” How did this “Sun-Soul” come into being? At the crown of every human being is the Jīvātman, which is a portion or “child” of the Paramātman; all the Jīvātmans are eternally connected to the Paramātman, which would be more than enough reason for humans not to fight among themselves. This Jīvātman is prior to birth or death, and it cannot be said that it is “this or that”—it is always the same and is devoid of any personality; the Jīvātman is like the number "0". This Jīvātman has the "representative" which is the Fire of Consciousness called "Kāmāgni or Cidagni" - the number "1"; this fire is everywhere as the support of the evolution of all beings and all things. This Kāmāgni is the Jīvātman after "desiring", but these two did not arise in sequence, they always existed together. This Kāmāgni has no personality, but is the "Primordial Guru" of all beings, the creative source that makes anything possible - he can teach anything, no matter how impossible or illogical it may seem; it is not possible to say that this Kāmāgni is a God or Goddess because he is not a thing. The Goddess closest to this Kāmāgni is Lalitā, she is not Kāmāgni in its pure state - the pure state of Kāmāgni is Aruḷ Joti - Gracious Light. This Aruḷ Joti is not a God or Goddess; it is not a thing. When a Sun-Soul (Antarātman) evolves sufficiently, that Soul meets Aruḷ Joti, the two run towards each other, embrace each other and become one. Vallalār was the only one who has achieved this to date. Only a human could do this because no other being can love to the same extent as a human can. Vallalār made the Antarātman merge with Aruḷ Joti and the Jīvātman, and then made his new Antarātman dominate and embrace the Moon (Instrumental Being) and the Stars (Gross Physical Body). This Kāmāgni is even in a plant, waiting to be discovered, but only a human can find it; Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Śiva and their innumerable Avatars can help you on the journey, but they do not have the final tools to merge with Kāmāgni like a human does. There will come a time when you will have to use tools that they do not have and that is why they will not be able to explain it to you. From this Kāmāgni emerged the "Sun-Soul" or "Antarātman"; this Soul simultaneously inherited the nature of the Jīvātman and Kāmāgni, therefore it is a being or "Ego" that evolves infinitely and cannot be destroyed, because it inherited the paradox of being without birth from the Jīvātman and the desire of Kāmāgni; it has its own personality and is not in all beings. The Antarātman or Sun is present in almost all human beings, except those who are "soulless", which is a rare and special case. In your heart is this ancient Antarātman with innumerable years of “experience,” but you are probably operating with a “False Ego” that has been created since your birth to survive and adapt in society. Human beings are miserable because their Antarātman is asleep. Before thinking of merging with Kāmāgni, one should first take care to access the Antarātman and access the “tools” that it has learned from innumerable years of experience. From this Sun or Antarātman emerged the Moon and the Stars. The Moon is well known to be the Instrumental Being—the subtle part of the Stars that is the Gross Physical Body. The wise will say that this Moon is Guhyakāḻī. If the gross human body is supreme and the sum of all that exists, then this Guhyakāḻī is certainly something very supreme and esoteric, but not final like Kāmāgni or Aruḷ Joti. In fact, Guhyakāḻī and Kāmāgni are fundamentally different things if you paid attention to my explanation, but each has an essential importance for the emergence of the human being, especially Mother Guhyakāḻī. The Stars or Gross Human Physical Body are the ONLY instrument where an evolved Antarātman can merge with Kāmāgni or Aruḷ Joti. Once your Antarātman leaves these Stars or Physical Body, you will not be able to merge with Kāmāgni. Why? This is because the Human Body is the most advanced Instrument in all the Universes, but its full use is still being learned. This body has a brain with two hemispheres: logic and emotion. The key to accessing the True God lies in the side of Emotion and the capacity to Love that all other beings, including the Gods, do not possess. You can call some of the attitudes that the Gods and Goddesses do love, but they are not; they are driven by other reasons.

My guru has initiated me into soundarya lahari sloka 32 along with sloka 11.. what does that mean? Do we need to consider it as panchadasi or shodasi?

Thank you so much for your reply Sir, Jai Maa Tara.

Thank you so much for your reply Sir, Jai Maa Tara.

Following an age old authentic tradition as it is in it’s original form is something else, following it in it’s most purest form as it was handed down to us from generation after generation through guru shishya parampara attracts the favour of the gurus of the past who originally attained siddhi in the vidya, there is guidance, blessings and most important thing is, there is less chances of downfall. But making changes as per one’s own will, as per one’s needs or beliefs or philosophies or notions or logic or perceptions or just that it resonates with your current state of mind or things you wish to believe or making yourself convinced about something you believe to be true is something else, it creates a mantra sankar or mantra bikriti or a hybrid! Tantrik devtas such as Guhyakali, are considered to be really tivra and ugra and dangerous fatally, high chances of downfall if approached incorrectly, that’s why there are prescribed manners as how to approach such deities in the shashtras under careful supervision. I have nothing else to say, I rest my point here. Everyone should follow their own discretion responsibly, ‘cause if something good or bad or worse or nothing happens then the only person who is responsible for such outcome is YOU ALONE! Shivam Shivam Shivam!

Can you tell me the kavacham and anganyasa karanyasa for shodasi mantra.. thank you..

Namaste. Just 10 days back, I heard from a knowledgeable person about adding Pranav in Devi mantra. He said, if you want to directly connect to the Energy of Devi then Pranav is not added. Such mantras can start from Hrim, Klim & other Beejs. So Maa Guhyakali's mantra starting from Hrim is right. Here Hrim is Shakti Pranav too. So whatever Tivra ji has said, can be followed without any doubts.

Dear Sir, Namaste I have sent you an email for the request to initiation for the mantra please bless your guidance, Jai Maa Tara. https://manblunder.com/articlesview/sri-ugra-tara-maha-mantra

As per Mahakalasamhita, Bharataupasita Vidya has two versions; one is Kilita or locked and another is Akilita or unlocked! And both the mantras start with Pranava, only difference is a rearrange of two Beejas in between to make it unlocked, that’s it. You can check the root text of Mahakalasamhita directly to check it. Hence, there is no change in Nyasa as per the Mahakalasamhita or Mithila Kali Krama system. But there are other parallel system of this same mantra, there the Nyasa might change.

Namaste, Rajarshi Debsharma Acharya. Please answer the question asked by Prince.
