1) Incarnation of other (sub) patras along with guru and atma patrasUpto Atma patra, total six patras completed.After incarnation of Guru and Atma patra, three mandalas with inverted triangle, circle and square are to be drawn.worship First sub mandala (i.e seventh in order)with mula mantra. Then put Shakti patra.worship Second sub mandala (i.e. eight in order)with mula mantra. Then put Bhogini patra.worship Third sub mandala (i.e. ninth in order)with mula mantra. Then put Budhi patra.This budhi patra should be used for taking amrita from visesharghya patra for various purposes.Shakti patra will be used at the time of naivedya and Bhogini patra will be used at the time of Suvasini puja.Patra sadhana completed with this.Viraja Homam: 2) After guru mandala worship, whatever procedure given in the text is known as VIRAJA humam. Why this is called as viraja homam? Vi-Raja- destroying of rajo gunam. If you observe so keenly, the sadhaka has become srimata himself after nyasas. Worship of agni, surya and soma mandalas while patraasadhana, he attained three purshardhas i.e.dharma, artha and kama. Now last purushartha mokhsa is left out. Moksha will get only after destroying of rajas and tamo gunas. With the nyasas, sadhakas tamo guna destroyed and now he is going to destroy rajo guna with this viraja homa. How this viraja homa will be started? The sadhaka has to recite all mantras initiated by his guru, i.e. from Gurupaduka to mahavakya.While reciting each mantra, he has to do puja and tarpana on his body since he himself is Srimata. For guru matras on sahasrara, for all ganapati mantras on prushta bhaga, and all other mantras on hrudaya stana.Then virja homa will be performed by following the procedure given in the text.Once he became srimata himself, there is no punyam, no papam (sin), no dharma, no adharmam, no krityam etc…….. Only pure consciensence is present. (Pl refer Lalita Rahasya Nama – Dharma Dharma Vivarjita)In some traditions, instead of 4 अधर्मं जुहोमि वौषट्।4 adharmaṁ juhomi vauṣaṭ| it is said that Sarva dharmam juhomi vausatHere it is advisable to perform Tattva sodhanam also.After this, purnahuti will be performed as explained in text.This the concept and importance of Viraja Homam.

Other mantra of kaamkala kali are as follows:1. ह्रीँ फ्रेँ क्रोँ वं छ्रीँ स्त्रीँ हूँ स्फ्रोँ ख्फ्रेँ हृस्ख्फ्रेँ क्ष्रौँ स्हौँ फटृ स्वाहा।The rishi of above mantra is sanak,chhand is pratishtha,devata kaamkalaakali,shakti hreem,keelak gloom, sarvabhishtha siddhyarthe jape viniyogah.2. ॐ ऐँ ह्रीँ श्रीँ क्रीँ क्लीँ हूँ छ्रीँ स्त्रीँ फ्रेँ क्रोँ हौँ क्षौँ आं स्फ्रोँ स्वाहा।Its rishi is कर्दम, chhand is व्रहती, devata kaamkalakali shakti hreem, keelak hroom and viniyog as above. The mantra that ravi ji gave its rishi is mahakaal, chanda vrihati, devata is trailokyakarshini kaamkala, bija kleem shakti hoom and viniyog is sarvatr sarvadaa sarvabhista siddhyarthhey.Do shadanganyaas with klaam, kleem,kloom,klaim,klaum,klah. Mahaakaal has considered the worship of this form of kaali to be main. From the text i have, sphrom is considered instead of sphrem. Well i will look for this and would inform for the same. I think her sodhanyasa,kavach,stotra,1000 names and vidhi are given in mahaakaal sanhita,if anybody have it they can look there for the required info.

1. It is auspicious to write matrukas with matya mudra.2. In kalpa sutra it was given that, “aaradhya trikonasya bahihi pradakshinyena panchadasa moola khanda trayam vilikhya”. That means out of the a,ka,tha triangle, panchadasi moola mantra khandatrayam should be written in order 1-3, 3-2 and 2-1 (clock wise) instead of 1-2, 2-3 and 3-1 (anti clock wise) . Sodasi upasakas should write sodasimantra khanda trayam should be written.3. Please observe the difference between matrukas and mula mantra khanda. Matrukas should be written in anti-clock wise direction and mula mantra should be written in clock wise direction.4. Out of this a,ka,tha triangle, circle and shatkona should be drawn with mantra “hamsah”5. Sodasi upasakas should worship this shat kona with sodasi shat koota.6. After Sudha Devi shodashapochara puja sprinkle amrita on all the puja articles and on all sadhakas who present there.

Thank you for this valuable information.

In mahakaal sanhita,the guhyakali khand says about 18 bheda of guhyakali mantra. Brahma,vasishtha,ram,kuber,yam,bharat,ravan,baali,vaasav,vishnu and other dev and danava has been said to have worshipped her. She has many forms ranging from one headed to three, five, ten, twenty, thirty, thirty six, sixty, eighty, hundred headed etc. Among it the main mantra and form that lord rama and bharat worshipped was of ten headed devi having 54 hands and it was the Sodakshari mantra. Continuing from ravi ji mantra on guhya kali Her different mantra are as follows:नवाक्षर1. क्रीं गुह्ये कालिके क्रीँ स्वाहा2. क्रीं गुह्य कालिके क्रीँ स्वाहादशाक्षर1. क्रीं दक्षिणे कालिके क्रीँ स्वाहाचतुर्दशाक्षर1.क्रौँ हूं ह्रीँ गुह्ये कालिके हूं हूं ह्रीँ ह्रीँ स्वाहाThe third mantra of guhya kali by ravi ji is of ten headed guhya kali(from vishvasaar tantra) worshipped by ram and bharat hence its also called ram and bhartopasita vidya. And in tantrasaar in place of kreem, kleem is used. Kleem and kreem both are called kaam bija hence either kreem or kleem can be used. And i think in the third mantra it should be गुह्ये instead of गुह्य. Dhyan mantra of this ten headed vidya is:ध्यायेन्नीलोत्पल श्यामामिन्द्र नील समद्युतिमृ। धनाधनतनु द्योतां स्न्निग्ध दूर्वादलद्युतिमृ।। ज्ञानरश्मिच्छटा टोप ज्योतिमण्डल मध्यगामृ। दशवक्त्रां गुह्यकालीँ सप्तविँशति लोचनाम् ।।अष्टदशाक्षर1. ह्रीँ क्रीँ फ्रेँ हूं क्रों गुह्यकालि क्रीँ छ्रीँ हृस्ख्फ्रे फ्रोँ छ्रीँ क्रीँ स्वाहा।Apart from these there are other mantra of guhya kali. And Thanks to ravi ji for using all possible means at his disposal to clarify the doubts of the spiritual seekers out here and I being one of them. Take care.

In fact there is a slight difference between samanyargha mandala and visesharghya mandala. In visesharghya mandala, in bindu tureeya swaram i.e. eem should be written. This is because in this mandala we worship Maha Lakshmi, Maha Saraswati (sudha devi) and Maha Tripurasundari. All three put together called ichha, jnana and kriya shaktis. This is important in visesharghya mandala.

Thank you very much for this explanation, which will be helpful to all of us.

Namaste Ravi jiWith reference to version 5 of matangi mantra i want to say that it is of jyeshtha matangi or Uchhista chandalini. If we exclude om its a 19 letter mantra and if we add हूं(hoom) to this 19 lettered mantra another mantra of jyeshtha matangi is formed. As per the texts i have it is said that according to tantrasaar,tantradeepani and mantra devprakashini there is no need to perform any nyasa and can be chanted at anytime,no need to consider auspicious tithi or nakshatra and no strict rules are laid in her sadhana as jyeshtha matangi. And it is said that it has to be chanted after having food but without rinsing the mouth and its said that she is offered leftover food as she's the uchhistha chandalini form. Being a siddha vidya purashcharan is not needed and no written documentation is there about how much it is to be chanted(as per the books i have) but 18000 or 1008 times it should be chanted with a pure and concentrated mind and homa should be done. Her dhyan mantra is same as of sumukhi matangi:Shavopari samaasinaam raktambar parichhadaam. Raktalankaar sanyuktaam gunjaahaar vibhusitaam. Sodshaabda ch yuvatim pinonnat payodharaam. Kapaal kartrika hastaam parjyotih swaroopinim.The symbolism of this form is esoteric and deep and the sadhak should understand what this form wants to convey on a deeper spiritual level and then should proceed with the sadhana,as should be the case with every worship.

This a complicated question to answer without ambiguity. We depend upon purāṇa-s to come to certain conclusions. On the contrary, Upaniṣad-s say that everything is Brahman. Where to draw the line is based on one's personal spiritual evolution. When we go with purāṇa-s, karmic theory becomes questionable. So, the final decision is made only by our mind.
