Lastly, this extraordinary form of the Divine Mother is praised in the Śrī Devī Khaḍgamālā Mantraḥ. She is praised in the Sarvasaubhāgyadāyakacakra as the Yogini SarvadvandvaKṢAyaṅkari (the destroyer of all dualities). This is a big secret. She is mentioned in this part of the Śrīcakra because she does not destroy something without reasons, she destroys everything that obstructs all auspiciousness (Sarvasaubhāgya). And she is mentioned in the last Yogini of this Cakra, meaning that she is the ultimate force to bring auspiciousness. She is endowed with the power to destroy everything that is dual, so nothing stops her from bringing auspiciousness if invoked. She hates everything that is inimical to auspiciousness, and we know that Śrīdevī or Lalitā is "Śrī" or auspiciousness itself. She then hates Lalitā's enemies. At the end of the Khaḍgamālā Mantraḥ, Guhyakāli is praised as Mahāmahāgupte (the secret of all secrets). Both are hidden and are like a wall that you can't overcome.

For a better understanding I will group the 51 Mātṛkās in the Pañcadaśākṣarī Mantra. VĀGBHAVAKŪṬA = am̐ ām̐ im̐ īm̐ um̐ ūm̐ ṛm̐ ṝm̐ ḷm̐ ḹm̐ em̐ aim̐ om̐ aum̐ am̐ aḥ. KĀMARĀJAKŪṬA = kam̐ kham̐ gam̐ gham̐ ṅam̐ cam̐ cham̐ jam̐ jham̐ ñam̐ ṭam̐ ṭham̐ ḍam̐ ḍham̐ ṇam̐ tam̐ tham̐ dam̐ dham̐ nam̐ pam̐ pham̐ bam̐ bham̐ mam̐. ŚAKTIKŪṬA = yam̐ ram̐ lam̐ vam̐ śam̐ ṣam̐ sam̐ ham̐ ḻam̐ kṣam̐. PAÑCADAŚĀKṢARĪ = KṢAM̐. Yes, the seed "kṣam̐" emerges from the third Kūṭa, meaning that it permeates everything that comes before it. At the same time, the seed "kṣam̐" emerges from the three Kūṭas together, signifying her independence and solitude.

भगवान मार्गदर्शन करें। ऐसा कौन सा महाभारत ही का मंत्र है जिससे लक्ष्मी प्राप्ति के लिए कौन सा मंत्र जाप करना उचित रहेगा। पंचमी का दिन कौन सा होना चाहिए? शुक्ल पक्ष की जय कृष्णा पक्षी या हर पंचमी होती है। स्फटिक की माला से मंत्र जाप किया जा सकता है।

Of the 51 Mātṛkās, only one of them is independent, alone and not in groups like the others: "kṣam̐". The real name of this seed is Nivṛttikalā Bīja, which means returning or coming back. To understand this seed, imagine the highest point in the sky, where the most supreme being resides and it is not possible to go higher. Now imagine the inversely lowest point, where it is no longer possible to descend any further: this is where the Nivṛttikalā Bīja "kṣam̐" resides. It turns out that the seed "kṣam̐" permeates and possesses the qualities of everything above up to the highest point. At the maximum limit of the descent of creation, this seed separated from the others and remains hidden there and does not depend on anyone. But the "kṣam̐" seed has something special that the others don't: as it is at the lowest limit of the descent of creation, it can reverse the direction of everything above, including taking someone to the highest point, leading to the higher goal. If the supreme being is on the surface of the sea, he is also there at the bottom of the sea, where no one can go deeper, like the seed "kṣam̐", and this seed has the power to reverse what is above, that is, everything! The presiding deity of Nivṛttikalā Bīja is called Śrī Atharvaṇa Bhadrakālī Pratyaṅgirā. Lalitā said that when she assumes this form, even the supreme being on the surface of the ocean is not able to stop her movement and that her protection in this form is invincible. Nothing above the bottom of the ocean would be able to stop her. The supreme being took on a form to protect himself. I wrote this explanation especially for Krishna who worshiped this form of the Divine Mother.

I understand that this is the Panchadashi Mahamantra: ka-e-ī-la-hrīṁ ha-sa-ka-ha-la-hrīṁ sa-ka-la-hrīṁ? Of fame, of which you spoke earlier. I read somewhere on the Internet that the full version of this mantra has to be revealed by a Guru. Is this true? If You can tell about the not very complicated worship of Shri Yantra pressed on silver plate and not in Mahameru form. Thank you.

Dear Mr. Jothi Agaval ! I have 2 Questions, if you do not mind: 1.) How many such "classifications" can/could approximately be made (in total) ? 2.) "There comes a point where you will begin to see the deities of other religions within the three KŪṬAS" Could you please explain this a little deeper ? Thank you very much for your very precious time ! Sincerely, Michael

Dear Jothi Ji, it's a request, please describe all 25 names of Lalitambika like you have described this one. Thank you very much!

The hands are so important because they are associated with Anāhata Cakra, Vāyu and Time. When a Mantra is recited, you are performing Prāṇāyāma. When you perform a hand gesture or Mudrā, you are also performing Prāṇāyāma. Objects can only be transformed through the action of time or Vāyu. An object can be thought of in the past, present or future. It is Vāyu's action that makes him take on different forms at a given time. So, hands are related to the power to manage, transform, influence and control.
