This is a very pertinent point for discussion. This can be interpreted in two ways. One, from the point of view of Self-realization (Upanishads point of view) and on the materialistic point of view. From the materialistic point of view, yes we have to go past all these Devi-s. They are nothing but different aspects of Lalitāmbikā. If one is able to understand the essence of Upanishads, yes, they need not go through any rituals at all. It could be waste of time for them, as these rituals consume lot of time and money. What one gets at the end is nothing but mental satisfaction and this satisfaction is directly proportionate to one's ego. In the present day hectic world, this can be safely be avoided. There is no need for any rituals at all. But, those who enter into the path of devotion, they are necessary so that they have strong foundation when they move from dualistic worship to monism. Those who want to really move forward in a faster pace, there is no need to understand these Khadgamala devis. Straight away take a mantra (it really does not matter whether it is Bālā or Pañcadaśī or Ṣoḍaśī) and work with that mantra on breath, mind and ultimately one's consciousness. The purest form of Consciousness is Shiva. This is the more effective and quicker way to the path of Liberation. This is the Ultimate Truth. In sat-cit-ānanda, sat means reality, cit is Consciousness and ānanda is Bliss. In sat-cit-ānanda both Shiva and Shakti exist. Only in this state Bliss can be experienced. The next stage is sat-cit-ekaṁ brahma. Here ānanda is not there, hence no Shakti. It is pure Shiva alone, where we get absorbed, it is liberation.

GurujiKhadgamala stotram is more of worshipping gross form of Lalitha.Do we really need to get the blessings of those Khadgamala Devi's to reach her?As long as Sakthi in form of kundali reaches Sahashara,will that be enough to move ahead to Turiya?

Respected Guruji,Obeisance to youCan you please write a series on way of living. With an approach of how a person should ideally look at life. Which has balance towards both material and spiritual aspect of life and how one should deal with life that is happening to him or others around him. We tend to make wrong decisions which creates moral and spiritual dilemma in our day to day life. This will help many people. Who are trying to find a balance in life.RegardsJayanth
