I have read that Pratyangira Devi is the Deity for Moksha. How does one propitiate the Great Mother to attain that? Will chanting of this Kavacam alone is enough or there is/are different Sadhanas for that?

These are sage words Mnx. Thank you. Indeed it is very wise to mention that fear and Srí Vidya, and fear and spiritual progress in general, are totally incompatible. Perhaps it is due to this Yuga, but the sheer number of cowardly, thin skinned, half-hearted, biased, & reactively close-minded “gurus” is very frustrating. Do you think we must have some very god karma to have found our ways to the manblunder community? This place is verily a lotus growing above the muck and opacity and obscurity of modern spirituality

Is there a typo here: “ 4. om̐ hrīm̐ jūm̐ am̐ ām̐ im̐ īm̐ um̐ ūm̐ ṛm̐ ṝm̐ ḷm̐ ḹm̐ em̐ aim̐ om̐ aum̐ am̐ aḥ kam̐ kham̐ gam̐ gham̐ ṅam̐ [cam̐ cam̐]jam̐ jham̐ ñam̐ ṭam̐ ṭham̐ ḍam̐ ḍham̐ ṇam̐ tam̐ tham̐ dam̐ dham̐ nam̐ pam̐ pham̐ bam̐ bham̐ mam̐ yam̐ ram̐ lam̐ vam̐ śam̐ ṣam̐ sam̐ ham̐ ḻam̐ kṣam̐ mantrākṣarāṇāṃ sarva utkīlanaṃ kuru kuru svāhā ” Should it be cam̐ cham̐? The Sanskrit text also has the repetition. Other letters are not repeated

Mnx

Pranaam Nesh. Well there was no reference given for this work. No pics of Deities mentioned. Though it was claimed to be authentic. After seeing his other interpretations like Lalita's power is just equivalent to 10 nails of Radharani & he refused to explain- "Karangulinakhotpanna Narayan dashakkruti", it was clear he was just attempting to prove Radha Krishna, residing in Goloka, superior to SriVidya. He even refused to initiate people in Panchadashi, fearing wrong pronunciation by any of his shishyas, may create dosha for his future generations. He was trying to sell his stories as authentic scriptures, without giving any reference. It is better to refer to known sources. Genuine Srividya Gurus are fearless. They guide & care for their disciples progress. One who fears can only inflict fear in other's mind.

Is there a standardized order for reciting the letters of the Sanskrit alphabet vis. bhoota lipi? I am trying to find a simple list of the ordered letters with bindu.

Here may be what you seek: https://sanskritdocuments.org/doc_devii/guhyakAlIsahasranAmastotram.itx Do be cautious. Proceed with a heart full of love for not only our mother, but also the entirety of creation which is part of her. If one struggles with Tamasic traits and thoughts in particular, this is not something that will provide relief in the way a tamasic person would hope for, although it should provide the treatment that elevates the self to be aware of its oneness with the Self/Parabrahman. This treatment can be perceived as highly unpleasant depending on one’s karma

On sanskritdocuments website, there is a variation noted where “ krām̐ krīm̐ krūm̐ kālikā devi” can be changed to “ krām̐ krīm̐ krūm̐ kuñjikā devi”. Will the alternation of Kālikā for Kuñjikā or vice versa here affect the meaning or efficacy of this chant? Based on my limited experience, kālikā is the standard but the kuñjikā substitution seems to fit in a way pleasing to Devi as well.

What is the relationship & interconnected nature of divine mothers Vārāhi Ambikā, Pratyangira Devi, and Bagalāmukhi Devi?
