Namaste Jothi ji. Very interesting to learn about the nyasa of Goddess Guhakali. I am an ordinary devotee of Mother Pratyangira. Would like to request you to share some advice regarding her sadhana...about the rules to be followed and how to please her to help gain her grace? Thank you.

Namaste Krishna. It is not Varāṅkuśā, but Parāṅkuśā. She is the Supreme inciter or inducer. This means that when she wants something, she simply makes you do it. It's something similar to manipulation. For example: if you were to board a plane that would crash, the Goddess would induce you to be late for the flight, avoiding your death. In the same way, the Goddess induces bad people to carry out actions that will destroy them. Another example: an enemy country fires a nuclear bomb against India, but the Goddess induces the shooter to miscalculate and hit another country that will retaliate and destroy the aggressor country of India. Parāṅkuśā also means the highest and most powerful Siddhi of all: Prakṛti Siddhi. There is no Siddhi higher than this. Prakṛti Siddhi is exactly what I said before, that is, the power to induce any God, Goddess, Sage, Siddha, Brahman, or anything else, to do an action that you desire. Lalitā is known to be the supreme holder of this power. The Saundarya Lahari talks about this in verse 31: "The Lord of all souls, Paśupati, did create the sixty four Tantras, each leading to only one desired power and started his relaxation. But you goaded him, mother, to create in this mortal world your Tantra called Śrīvidyā, which grants the devotee all powers over all the states in life."

Namaste Jothi ji. The information you enlighten us with, is mind blowing for spiritually ignorant people such as myself. I am currently doing Maha Ganapati sadhana. What can I do to seek His Grace? Are there any stotras dear to Him? I am aware of the sahasranama but wondered if there is anything else unknown to most of us. Many thanks.

Namaste Sridevi Modugula. You can keep all your practice as it was before. Ugra Matrika Nyasa should be done before and after Siddhakunjika. This Nyasa will make you powerful and, consequently, enhance the strength of the Stotram when you recite it. In fact, anything you recite will become stronger, because of the nature and authority of the deities involved in this Nyasa. Regarding your second question, I will answer what I learned from my experience. The seeds am̐ and aḥ, in sequence, should be understood as m̐ and ḥ. It turns out that there is a confusion where people don't understand that in this part Bindu and Visarga are prescribed without the accompaniment of any other letter. It is not am̐, but m̐. It is not aḥ, but ḥ. How to pronounce? You just close your lips making the Bindu sound and then open your lips letting some air out. The ḥ is a brief release of air through the mouth. So, it's something like m̐ḥ, not am̐ and aḥ. This has been a long-standing confusion, but it is somewhat obvious that this part of the akshamala ends with Bindu and Visarga "pure", without the company of the letter "a".

Shri Ravi Guruji has enlightened us, he shared so many answers about life. I am fortunate to know him by his manblunder initiative.

Namaste Jothi ji I am doing Sri Guhyakali Ugramaathrakaa Nyaasa while reciting Sri Siddha Kunjika Stotram with your blessings. I have two doubts, first one is do we also do karanyasa after recitation of Sri Siddha Kunjika stotram (I do Devi mahaatyam/Durga sapthasathi parayana with nyaasam, in that after completion in the end doing only Hrudayanyaasa/Sadana Nyaasa for both Navakshari mantra and Sapthasathi). Second one is that in the Aksharamaala. Do we have to retain as "am and ah"?.( Daily recitation of Siddha Kunjika stotram brought me Srividya in my life. I am in the very initial stage of Srividya, there in the shatchakra japa, the above two letters are added with "mm" and there are "ah and ahm"). Thank you Jothi ji.

Special thanks Krishnaji as I have read this article many many number of times for knowing the meaning of the beejas in the stotram, that helped me a lot while reciting the stotram with focusing/concentrating much on the beejas with meaning(not to get another thoughts ) I never seen any other articles having this detailed deeper meaning of each beeja and word in the stotram. That's the greatness of Manblunder. Thank you Krishnaji once again.

Namaste Богдан. Honestly, I find this type of behavior very sad. The people perish for lack of knowledge. The story of Mohinī portrays the importance of Shakti in convincing Brahman to create. They should have known that if Mohinī's story were not true, this universe would not exist, nothing would exist. Because Brahman is only interested in Yoga. Only someone as powerful as Shakti could convince Brahman. If you separate Shakti from Krishna, you will have an immobile void without any attributes. Even bliss is an attribute that Shakti bestows on Brahman. All the virtues of Brahman are bestowed by Shakti. Because Brahman is extraordinary, but he does not know it. It is Shakti that makes Brahman know how extraordinary he is. Radha has Krishna always under her control. Shiva's consort also always has him under her control. Krishna considers it an honor to always be under Shakti's control, as she is the one who makes him know how incredible he is. This is the essential meaning of Mohinī's story. Regarding family, a man should consider it an honor to be under the control of a virtuous wife, as she will bring out the best in this man, and with this the man acquires the ability to also benefit his wife, bringing out the best in her. . They know they need each other. The couple who knows this can achieve whatever they want together, no matter if it is material, spiritual or both. They truly achieve all material comforts and free the entire family at once, even the ancestors who may be trapped.

I agree with you. They call all the gods except Kṛṣṇa demigods, and they especially laugh at Śiva when they recall the story of Mohīni. Durga is also a demigoddess, almost on the same level as the gods who control the elements of nature. However, older Krishnas consider Durga to be Krishna's sister, or his Shakti inseparable from him.
