Namaste Krishna. Thank you for the impeccable description. What more needs to be said? She is truly the guardian of the pride of the esoteric Śrīvidyā doctrine. Her greatness is totally justifiable. Well, Hayagrīva has already said that this knowledge is never obtained by bad people, only by good people.

Namaste Jothiji. About the practice of Pratyangira mantras, you said that it may have consuming effect on the devotee. Could you please advise on how can we balance/handle the energy of Pratyangira or what practices should be adopted alongside so that we can remedy this problem? Grateful.

Respected Jothi Agaval , this makes us see siddhis in a new light. I always thought those names AnimaSiddhi ,GarimaSiddhi, MahimaSiddhi etc meant different kinds of superhuman powers. I never realised it also conveys how you are supposed to live as a better human and a manner and a way you interact and behave with others in the society

Namaste Jothi ji, Can you please explain how the yoginis talk? Is the talk is intuitive in nature or we really see someone with body talking? And why they not talk with me till now.

Namaste Jothiiji, thank you for sharing your knowledge. Can you share more about Maa Pratyangira? Are there any other stotras that we can worship Her with? I have been looking for the authentic sahasranamavali and any/all stotras I can offer Her. Jai Maa ????

Mahimāsiddhi. This Siddhi brings one of the most beautiful teachings to the devotee. This Siddhi teaches you to abandon the smallness of egocentrism and nurture a compassion in your heart capable of embracing the Universe. The Guru must speak in detail about what real compassion is and what it is not, as people are very confused about what real kindness of heart is. When Mahimāsiddhi is satisfied, you will know. In the past I sincerely visited a friend who had been in an accident and spent time with her, making her smile and bringing comfort. She was very happy. When I left, I suddenly started crying without understanding, but they were tears of happiness. I had never felt such immense happiness before. It was the grace of Mahimāsiddhi, who was satisfied. Knowing this, the devotee must know that in Bhupura we are facing the Prakata Yoginis (Manifest Goddesses), that is, their practice is more focused on Kriya Shakti, where your action is more important than reciting Mantras or remaining seated. There will be a suitable time where your practice will be more isolated, but it is certainly not in Bhupura. At Bhupura the practice is more dynamic and focused on social interactions, which become opportunities to advance. I'm talking about interaction with people and society. With the Gupta Yoginis, practice becomes more balanced, but with the Prakata Yoginis, concrete action in society and family is important.

A common question is about Yogini Garimasiddhi. She presides over the three lines that separate the Bhupura from all other Avaranas. These three lines mean Dharma, Artha and Kama. Garimasiddhi has an extensive meaning, but what is more objective to say is that it is the power to become extremely heavy to the point that you cannot be moved. Dharma, Artha and Kama are exactly like that. These three purposes of existence never cease to exist, but rather take on different meanings in the Samhara, Sthiti and Srishti Kramas. The purposes of existence take on a different meaning after you arrive at Bindu. They do not cease to exist. That's why people don't understand the stories told in the scriptures. They are Dharma, Artha and Kama operating in a different way than those of us who have not arrived at Bindu yet. Garimasiddhi is truly the immovable force of divine play, and these three lines are saying that you cannot deny the Bhupura (Jagat-Universe), that you will be linked forever, but with different purposes. It is something that cannot be moved.

Namaste nashmkm. The three kutas of the Panchadasi Mantra are like the three Vedas. If the three kutas are considered as one, that is Atharvana Veda. The guardian of this knowledge (Śrī Vidya) and its secrets is Atharvana Bhadrakali (Maha Pratyangira). Although she is often sought after when dealing with enemies, she is very wise. She guided me through the right people, scriptures and intuitive knowledge (Ajna Chakra has the ability to gain knowledge without using the senses). All concerns related to Dharma, Artha and Kama are resolved and satisfied when the devotee crosses the first three Avaranas of the Sri Chakra. When the devotee completes the Sarvasaṅkṣobhaṇacakra (eight-petalled lotus) it can be said that he will be completely comfortable in terms of Dharma, Artha and Kama and will have fulfilled his desires. Each person's desires are individual and different from each other. The remaining six Avaranas are more focused on higher issues like Moksha. The Yoginis of the first three Avaranas will protect the devotee, give knowledge, give purpose, give material satisfaction and satisfy his desires, so that these issues do not interfere with the next six Avaranas. There are traditions that do not worship the first three Avaranas, as they are people isolated and removed from society and only think about liberation and higher issues. But such rare souls who have no issues related to Dharma, Artha and Kama are rare. You should definitely work together with the Yoginis of the first three Avaranas to resolve your issues before focusing fully on Moksha and other more esoteric issues. In fact, you will not be able to move forward until you are able to resolve these more mundane issues, which are also important to the Divine Mother. Hence it is said that Sri Vidyā provides Bhoga and Moksha. Even if you don't want to, the Yoginis will fulfill your every desire until you no longer need to worry about it and can focus on Moksha and other esoteric matters. If you follow the Yoginis' guidance, you will definitely be able to resolve your worldly issues, and they will work with you, as long as you also do your part.
