Lastly. The most common thing that happens if someone starts reciting her root mantra is that bad things start to happen. Why? Other souls and creation itself will begin to fear this person, even if unconsciously. People will start fighting with you for trivial reasons. Other souls and creation will not feel very comfortable with you walking around with a nuclear bomb pointed at them. Only if your heart is exceedingly pure will souls and creation feel safe around you practicing a Vidya of this caliber. Who can blame them? Let a bad person practice this and he will blow himself up and the people around him. This is a Vidya for very pure hearts. I have this knowledge, but I don't practice it. I only pray to Lalitambika because it's easier to deal with other souls saying "if you make mistakes I will forgive you most of the time"; instead of: "I will drop a bomb of mass destruction on you if you make a mistake." Over time, the devotee begins to realize that gaining the respect of creation through fear may not be a good idea. Atharvana Bhadrakali is a Vidya for very specific and transitory situations. It won't be your fault, but everyone is struggling to overcome their own sins and they don't want a nuclear bomb pointed at them that will explode if they make a mistake.

Thank you thank you thank you for these expositions, Tripuraghnaji. Words cannot express the benefit they have on us and our practice.

For those who are still in doubt about the truth of what I am talking about, first consult Lalitā Sahasranāma 237 (mahā-catuḥ-ṣaṣti-koṭi-yoginī-gana-sevithā). That name says that Lalitā is served by 640 million Yoginīs. But where are these attendants? Now look at Atharvaṇa Bhadrakālī Yantra. The Yantra of Mahā Pratyaṅgirā is also composed of Nine Layers (Āvaraṇas). The first eight Āvaraṇas have 80 million Yoginīs each, making a total of 640 million. In the ninth Āvaraṇa (Maha Bindu) there are 640 million more Yoginīs accompanied by 640 million Bhairavīs. By means of this war formation, Atharvaṇa Bhadrakālī is saying, "I can do whatever the Śrī Cakra does and at the same time oppose every power present in it as well." In this way I believe it is clear to everyone who Atharvaṇa Bhadrakālī is.

Atharvaṇa Bhadrakālī is really impressive, but are you ready to welcome her into your home? It's like welcoming one of the highest authorities into your home. It's not your will that will make her come to your house and help you, but the quality of her actions and your heart that can make her find you worthy. Otherwise there is nothing else in this universe that can make her come to you.

The most attentive devotee will find that reversing the position of the Yoni of the Śrī Chakra will cause the entire structure to transform into the Yantra of Atharvaṇa Bhadrakālī. The Yoni of Lalitā is the Yoni of Life and the Yoni of Atharvaṇa Bhadrakālī is the Yoni of Death. The intelligent devotee will say that the Yantra of Atharvaṇa Bhadrakālī is the enemy of Śrī Chakra, that is, it is endowed with the power of Śrī Chakra and can oppose the entire Śrī Chakra. But this is all part of Lalitā's game, as it was she who bestowed this boon on Atharvaṇa Bhadrakālī. The power to oppose even Lalitā. But this is all part of the game for Lalitā's own pleasure. Whoever understands this has understood the Śrī Chakra. The devotee will begin to understand how he can simply subdue the entire structure of the Śrī Chakra and quickly liberate himself. He can do many things after discovering the Yoni of Death. He can cut corners and hasten his own release.

I will ask readers of this site to look carefully at the structure of this Khaḍgamālā/Yantra of Sovereign Queen (Parābhaṭṭārikā) and Independent (Svatantra) Mahā Pratyaṅgirā. Did you not notice anything familiar in this Khaḍgamālā/Yantra? This Yantra and Śrī Cakra are the same. Look closer and you will realize that you are looking at Śrī Cakra, but in reverse, just like two sides of the same coin. You have probably never been told that the Yantra of Mahā Pratyaṅgirā and Śrī Cakra are the same. The Sankalpa gives another tip: tena śrī vidyā mahā ṣoḍaśī mahā pratyaṅgirā mahā kālīṃ praṇayāmi ॥ This means: "We bow reverently to the Divine Mother Śakti, manifested in her multitude forms as Śrī Vidyā Mahā Ṣoḍaśī (Lalitāmbikā), Mahā Pratyaṅgirā (Atharvaṇa Bhadrakāḻi) and Mahā Kālī (Guhya Kālī)." Did you realize the connection of these three deities? Meditate on it.

Although I'm still confused as to the description of the 1st Avarana in Chapter 19 of Lalitopakhyana which says "Saṅgītayoginī is mentioned as the most beloved deity of Śrīdevī. Her abode was a seat in the middle of the step in the chariot Geyacakra. The same first step was the place of residence of Mantriṇī.” It’s interesting because Saṅgītayoginī is not mentioned in Parasurama Kalpa Sutra and is not worshipped in Raja Shyamala yantra puja.
