Namaste Ghanshyam. I'm sorry. For Dharmic reasons I cannot stay here any longer. I won't be back, but I'm happy to have contributed at least a little here. Trust the Divine Mother with humility and sincerity and she will guide you all. Have a good journey everyone.

Krishnaji, स्वहा शक्तिः, स्वहेति - there are multiple occurrences of these. I believe they should be स्वाहा शक्तिः, स्वाहेति.

Can you also share some advice in Durga Sadhana on how to please the Divine Mother in this form, how to receive the Divine love that Ramakrishna loved Kali with, maybe there is some kind of warning in sadhana? Some people say that one should not worship the ugra rupas of the Divine Mother at home, that the slightest mistake can cost one's life. This is especially true of Mahā Pratyaṅgirā, and what advice can you give, given that you have received the blessings of Śrī Atharvaṇa Bhadrakāḻī Mahā Pratyaṅgirā. If you do sadhana with love, faith and devotion, I think the Divine Mother will not kill her child for a mistake in worship, and she will still be the kindest, most tender, caring mother. Thank you for your answer.

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".
