Namasthe Tripuraghna! Could you please provide further insight into the mantra "aruṭperuñjōti aruṭperuñjōti taṉipperuṅkaruṇai aruṭperuñjōti" and its significance? Is it typically recited for spiritual elevation or for the purpose of healing? I recently encountered this mantra during meditation and have been attempting to comprehend its meaning and intended use. Thank you in advance for your time and guidance!

Nirvanika. I will talk about the epitome of Iccha, Jnana and Kriya Shaktis. First I will speak of Mahashodasi. Mahashodasi's favorite activity is omnipotence (Iccha Shakti). Everything she desires will be fulfilled. There are no limits or rules of what she can want. No matter how absurd what she desires, it will be fulfilled. If she wishes to turn the mortal physical body into an immortal physical body, it will be accomplished. It is absolute sovereignty. To understand Mahashodasi is to follow the rules, but to understand that they can be broken at any time. Because she can want absolutely anything. Can you say exactly what makes a woman happy? You won't be able to say that because there are no limits to what a woman can want and what can make her happy. A woman's creativity and her means of being happy are endless. The woman wants to play forever. She doesn't like inertia. So Mahashodasi's essence is Bliss and her favorite quality in a devotee is Self-Confidence. The devotee needs to see that behind every thing there was a desire and that behind every desire there is Happiness. Happiness is hidden behind every thing. The devotee needs to trust himself, which is the same as trusting Mahashodasi. He needs to trust that happiness is behind everything and that everything will end well, regardless of the situation. If he thinks so, he will be eternally happy, no matter what the situation. Now I will speak of Mahaguhyakali. Mahaguhyakali's favorite activity is omniscience (Jnana Shakti). She knows how to formulate an exact recipe on how to fulfill each desire. She knows the secret to doing absolutely anything. It's not enough just to wish, you need to know how to make that wish come true. Mahaguhyakali is absolutely about knowing the secrets of making every wish come true. She knows the detailed recipe behind every thing that was, is, and will be. Can you say exactly what the limits of a woman's knowledge? You won't be able to do this because every time you think you completely understand a woman she will prove you otherwise. The potential of a woman's knowledge reveals new knowledge every moment and at the same time remains eternally secret (Guhya). It is impossible for you to know the limits of a woman's knowledge because she herself does not know the limits of her own knowledge. If the creativity of a woman's desires (Iccha) can be infinite, the knowledge (Jnana) of fulfilling them are also infinite and eternally a secret. The woman reveals herself at all times and at the same time remains hidden. Mahaguhyakali's favorite quality in the devotee is "Wisdom". She wants the devotee to know exactly what he wants and to make that desire come true as efficiently as possible. There are several ways to achieve the same goal, but wisdom is choosing the best path for each specific situation. Now I will talk about Mahapratyangira. Mahapratyangira's favorite activity is omnipresence (Kriya Shakti). It is not enough to want to prepare a cake (Iccha). You need to know the recipe and have the ingredients (Jnana) and perform the proper actions of making the cake (Kriya). Mahapratyangira's actions cannot be stopped. Her actions are irresistible and she can oppose anything effortlessly. She is the epitome of Kriya Shakti. Whatever is desired (Iccha), formulated (Jnana) will be unfailingly executed by Mahapratyangira. If there are obstacles she will win again and again. She never stops and rests. She is infallible and perfectly executes what must be done and no one will stop her. That is why she is present in everything and in all actions. There is not a single place where she is not present, because the principle of action is to be present. You have to be present to act. Mahapratyangira's favorite quality in the devotee is "Courage". It's no use wanting something, knowing the knowledge of how to accomplish something, but not acting to make it come true. Can you say exactly what a Woman's strength is? You won't know how to answer. You may know a little of a Woman's strength when she needs to protect her beloved child. Mahapratyangira is here for action. She wants you to act and with courage. It stands for speed, for immediate and fearless action. If you know what you want (Iccha), if you know exactly how to do it (Jnana), what are the obstacles for you to act and make it come true (Kriya)? In this way the three activities of God (Iccha, Jnana and Kriya) are explained.

Namaste Mary. That seed is called Martya Bīja (mlūm̐). This seed means the world of mortals, the earth. It means the mortal condition of human beings and other beings in the world of mortals (earth). Of the Five Great Gods, the correspondent of this seed is Īśvara. Of the Five Great Energies, the correspondent of that seed is Vyāpinī. Of the Five Great Elements, the correspondent of this seed is Wind. The Yogini of that seed is Śrīvidyutā. The union of Śiva and Śakti results in different worlds. Martya Bīja (mlūm̐) meaning one of those worlds which is ours.

Namastê Nirvanika. Actually these three excellent deities have the five natures in them (Tamas, Rajas, Sattva, Trigunatita, Ajnata). They work with all natures, but Mahashodasi likes to work with Sattva, Mahaguhyakali prefers to work with Rajas (that's why Raktakali/Kamakalakali, who is extremely red, is her favorite and is by her side) and Mahapratyangira likes to work with Tamas . But don't focus too much on these details, these deities are beyond all natures and work with all of them.

Namaste Tripuraghnaji. Thanks for clarifying. Actually the Pratyangira Stavaraja published by you is the only error free version on the internet; the errors I mentioned are very minor and they have not distorted the meaning & essence of the hymn. I have seen other versions of the net full of errors...the beejas themselves are incorrect which could lead to harm instead of good for the innocent seekers. I know that you only reveal something after due thought and consideration; I do not know if others have noticed this but I have and I thank you for your service and mentorship. As I mentioned earlier, every time you comment, it is an opportunity for us all to learn. I will not ask anything for myself but would only request you to continue guiding everyone following this website within your capacity just as the sun dispels darkness. My humble regards sir. Thank you.

What beautiful exposition... Are Mahapratyangira, Mahaguhyakali and Mahashodasi connected to [Iccha Jnana Kriya] or [Tamas, Sattva, Rajas] or [Shiva,Vidya, Atma] tattvas in any order?

Tripuraghna ji can you please shed some light on kali kula system And how they worship the fiercest forms of mahavidyas. How does one choose between Lalita and kali. Is in based on inclination alone or temperament ? And also what is your take on all women being the embodiments of goddesses in that case should a woman try to activate her latent energy or should she devote herself to her isht devi if they both are different.. thank you in advance sir , beyond grateful to have you here
