Thank you Raviji for the correction.
Out of curiosity regarding the mantra formations, I wanted to know the effect of the mantra if "sphrem" is used in the first samputa and "sphrom" is used in the second samputa (instead of "sphrem")? Could you please elaborate a little more on this.

In the text I have, in mantra part it is mentioned as sphroṁ (स्फ्रों) but in chapter II where mantra is explained, it is mentioned thus.Bhūtabīja sphreṁ (स्फ्रें) is formed by joining s + ph + ra + e + and bindu (dot) {स् + फ् + र + ए and बिन्दु}. And in subsequent discussions it is only mentioned as sphreṁ (स्फ्रें). Hence sphreṁ (स्फ्रें) appears to be correct. Bhūtabīja represents formation of worldly creation. (There is a reference to Bhūtabīja in Śrīmad Bhāgavata Mahāpurāṇa.)Hence two sphroṁ-s (स्फ्रों) appearing in this mantra should be replaced by sphreṁ (स्फ्रें)This is the revised and correct mantra:ॐ क्लीं क्रीं हूं क्रों स्फ्रें कामकलाकालि स्फ्रें क्रों हूं क्रीं क्लीं स्वाहा।om klīṁ krīṁ hūṁ kroṁ sphreṁ kāmakalākāli sphreṁ kroṁ hūṁ krīṁ klīṁ svāhā |Though the error is not at my end, still it is a error. Error is regretted.

Thank you Raviji for this wonderful explanation on the bijas.
In one edition of Mahakala Samhita Kamakala kali khanda- bija "Sphrem" is written instead of "Sphrom". Which one do you think is the correct bija? Also, can you please elaborate more on sphrem and sphrom bijas?

Hi,thanks for the information you have provided. The true fact is we can gain anything through meditation. Let me give you can live example: Tamil Actor Superstar Rajiniganth has became popular because of his mediation.

If we want to name Brahman as Śiva, yes, Śiva is beyond death. Many of these stories have underlying message. Here, the highest form of devotion being transformed into absolute faith is subtly conveyed.

Raviji is absolutely rightHere is the inner meaning of the story of Markenya:"The story as narrated above comes to us from the Skanda Purana. There are other versions of the story that differ in details, but our concern here is to understand what we are being told in this beautiful tale. What does it mean for Markandeya to be saved by Shiva and for Shiva to destroy Yama?For Markandeya to be saved by Shiva means that Shiva's Anugraha Shakti had descended upon the boy-sage. Markandeya had at a young age attained enlightenment and become a jivan-mukta. He was no more bound by time (kala) or death. He had broken through the cycle of birth and death. Verily, Markandeya had gained oneness with Lord Mrityunjaya and conquered death itself.For Shiva to destroy Yama and become angry that Yama should have the audacity to encircle the Lingam indicates that Shiva is beyond death and time. He is the Eternal Lord. He is the Ruler of time (Mahakaleshvara); He is the Originator of time (Mahakala) and Destroyer of time (Kalari or Kalasamhara Murti). Time in the story is represented by Yama since time brings death and dissolution to all things, but Shiva brings death to time itself. So, He is called Mahakalakala or Mahakalabhairava. When all things decay, Shiva alone remains. As He alone is beyond death and time, Shiva is called Maha Mrityunjaya, the great Conqueror of Death."

If we accept this, then we have to forget about Advaita philosophy.Brahma Sūtra (II.i.11) says, "There is non-difference of those cause and effect on account of texts about origin, etc."
