There is a tortoise shaped yantra with the sanskrit alphabet embossed on it. Try and get that etched on a plate or print it to place under your mat. You can also visualize the same or draw it manually if you prefer. The list of mantras should be recited and not written down. Normally, we face the Eastern direction while praying to the deities.

I would recommend that you go through Mantra Mahodadhi. The English translation by Shri Ram Kumar Rai is outstanding. There is also a Hindi translation from him that can be referred to as well. This book explains the entire tantric procedures of worship from dawn to dusk. There are some additional procedures that need to be followed for certain mantras and those would be disclosed as per the Guru's tradition.

Krishna ji, this is a really wonderful article. However I am assuming that the above is like a good glossary of each relevant concept and does not prescribe any order of actions (as sankalpam comes too later in the sequence). Is there any article on manblunder or any book that describes the daily routine beginning right from waking to tantric sandhya to japa and all related actions mandatory to be performed by sadhakas. There are many questions like how many japa is required during sandhya, what is the sequence of actions post sandhya. Eagerly waiting for your word.

Yes, you can etch them on a copper or brass plate. Get the kūrma cakra etched on a plate and place it below the mat. This should do.

We are no longer maintaining the links for these files. I would recommend that you try and obtain it from sanskritdocuments.org for your study purposes. If you wish to recite the stotras, then consider obtaining an initiation from a qualified Śrī Vidyā guru and proceed further.

Śrīcakra worship of the Divine Mother Lalitā can be performed in the Saṁhāra (most common and generally followed), Sṛṣṭi and Sthiti which are considerably rare to obtain. There are combinations of these kramas that may apply in this scenario. If you are familiar with Pañcīkaraṇa procedures for the Pañcamakaras, then go for these offerings. It applies to the substitutes also. If you do not know these, then go for normal naivedya food offerings. The Āvaraṇas for each deity can differ in number and also for the same deity, there can be different variations. For example, Lalitā Devī can be worshipped in the Navāvaraṇa, Daśāvaraṇa and Ṣoḍaśāvaraṇa schemes. There is no specific navarātri associated with Pratyaṅgirā Devī that I am aware of. You can certainly perform as many Āvaraṇa pūjas as you are able to on a single day. However, I would suggest that you perform the Āvaraṇa pūjas of Vārāhī, Śyāmalā, Sampatkarī, Aśvārūḍhā, as well as Bālā. Each yantra must be worshipped separately on its own Ādhāra and the required Pātras must be established, especially if they are not associated with the main deity. In this case, you would need to establish the pātras separately for Śrī Pratyaṅgirā Devī and Śrī Lalitā Devī. Lastly, please do not perform these activities without proper initiation and guidance from your guru. The permission of the guru is essential.

Namaste. In Sri maha Prathyangira avarana archana, towards the end we worship her in bindu again worship deities at pericap and again on bindu. Why is this in this sequence in opposite to sri chakra navavarana archana where the archana culminates at bindu and pancha panchika puja. Is substitute naivedya for pancha makaras compulsory for pratyangira devi? Or normal naivedya would be sufficient? What is the significance of offering flower for Bali after every avarana archana? Why maha Prathyangira devi avaranas are more than navavaranas? Which Navaratri is more significant to maha Prathyangira: sharad Navaratri or chaitra navaratri? If we want to do navavarana archana and Sri maha Prathyangira avarana archana on single day, which is to be done in morning and which in the evening? Can I place Sri chakra a Meru and Prathyangira yantra in same plate. If so in what sequence? Can someone please answer me accurately? . Thanks in advance.
