Don't worry. You are not missing out on anything. If it is the wish of the Divine Mother, you will learn all of Vedanta, Siddhanta, Yoganta, Bodhanta, Nadanta and Kalanta in a single day. I've seen this happen to a devotee who didn't know how to differentiate between left and right. This phenomenon is called "grace". You don't have the time to learn the plethora of knowledge individually. Human birth is rare to achieve. So it is wiser to focus on the source of all knowledge which is the Divine Mother and Divine Father.

What about Lord Vishnu? He, whose mercy is in no way different from that of Lord Shiva, bestowed upon mankind the supreme mantra of Dattatreya which does not depend on any initiation: dattātreya hare kṛṣṇa unmattānandadāyaka । digambara mune bālapiśāca jñānasāgara ॥ What more needs to be said about his capabilities to destroy all human afflictions? He is equal to Lords Dakṣiṇāmūrti and Ucchiṣṭa Mahāgaṇapati. The Gods and Goddesses are so kind to humanity, but they won't force people to trust them. That depends on people's devotion to them.

Namaste Tripuraghna ji. Thanks for your answer. I am not worried about planets. But as an observer of karmic account, can't ignore them. This is just for my study to understand life movements.

Hello Guruji, How the Verse-4 subtly conveys Bālā mantra - aiṁ - klīṁ - sauḥ? Can you please explain in details.

Namaste Mnx. Don't waste time worrying about planets. Hand this responsibility over to the deity you worship. Even Lord Siva, in his infinite mercy, bestowed upon mankind his five-letter mantra (Namaḥ Śivāya) which destroys the bad effects of all planets at once and makes them all favorable. Planets is a concern that people should have forgotten a long time ago, especially with the knowledge of high deities like Ganesha, Shiva, Vishnu, Krishna, Durga, Mahavidyas and others. People still suffer from this because they don't trust the deity they worship or focus on multiple deities.

Thanks for your nectar to this seeker. Also do different traditions associate the iccha, jnana kriya seperately. Can you talk more on Trigunatita, Ajnata, Also are they connected to Panchvyuhas in any way... Also please bless me by giving courage to do action to my vision. I would so want to meet and share with you. Please bless me.

Namaste Tripuraghna ji. In Astrology, when 2 planets occupy each other's house, a parivartan yoga is formed. One planet gives result of other planet, whose house it is placed in. Such people may experience worshipping One Deity but receiving effect signified by other Deity, indicated by both planets. Please advice, what should one do to get benefit of such yoga.

Namaste. Am I correct in understanding that when a devotee becomes one with his favorite form of God, he sees that all other forms of God are manifested through his Ishtadevata? And there is no longer any need to worship different forms, because his chosen Ishtadevata manifests like all other forms? Example: The sun has innumerable rays, each of us can follow our favorite ray, but when we reach the sun and become one with it, then we will see that all other rays are inseparable from the sun and one with it, and we could have come to it by another ray (worshipping another deity). Another example: If one worships Bala Tripura Sundari, first as a mother, then as a friend, and then becomes one with her, at that stage the devotee will see that all other deities manifest through Bala Tripura Sundari, that Bala is Durga, Lakshmi, Kali, Shiva, Ramachandra, Lalita, that She contains all forms and is all of them at the same time. Am I understanding this correctly? Tripuraghna Ji, you said that the last stage, when the devotee becomes one with the chosen deity, is in other words a Madhurya Bhava, when God becomes the devotee's lover (Krishna, Shiva...) or beloved, only in such a relationship can both become one? When a devotee achieves unity with the chosen deity and all other deities manifest through him, for example, even Guhyakali manifests through Bala Tripura Sundari? Earlier you said that Guhyakali is beyond Parabrahman. Thank you very much for your answer! Realize how merciful and kind the Divine Mother is to her children, allowing us to choose the form of Her that we like best, but still, whatever form we choose, She will lead us to Her and manifest all other forms through it, and we will realize that we have not lost anything by not worshipping other forms.
