Namaskaram Krishna Jee, I have been doing mantra and kawach sadhna of Shree Mateshwari Matangi, Lord Batuk Bhairav, and kawach of lord Uchchhist Ganpati. I have prayed lord Batuk Bhairav to be my guru and I feel he guides me and gives me all these hidden tantrik knowledge. But now I wanted to be initiated first by a physical guru and I am in search of a Guru from a respected Sri Vidya Lineage (I don't know much about Lineage). Also I don't know in which mantra sadhna should I get initiated first? Or can one person get initiated in multiple sadhanas...or is there a prescribed hierarchy (Krama) such as first shree uchchhist ganpati, then mata matangi, then mata pratyangira, then mata bala tripura sundari and then maha tripurasundari. Please guide me Krishna Jee????

Nicely explained thank you

My sāṣṭāñga pranāmam to you Dearest Tivra. This input definitely helps me with the translation. Thank you once again and please accept the gratitude from all sādhakas for the immense blessings you continue to shower upon us!

Can I start recitation of Lalita sahasranamam when there is a death in my family?

Namaste please share the image of the yantra.

namaste tivra, thank you :)

Namaste Tivra ji. My humble pranaam to you for this treasure. Does this mantra need any unlocking procedure? Some days back got a glimpse of The Divine moment, while doing Maa Sidhhilakshmi mantra. It was absolutely stunning. So I believe Maa shows path & takes us higher with Her Rajya Sidhhilakshmi form. Bigger the wealth, higher is the state, She will take us.

Namaste Krishna. The meditation verses of this Mantra are called "Virāṭ Dhyānā", which is the highest form of image meditation. Lord Kṛṣṇa showed His "Virāṭ Dhyānā" to Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita. This form of meditation surpasses the ordinary form of meditation because it opens the doors of the devotee's heart to be blessed by any form of nature, because he will begin to understand that ultimately everything will be all right, because Divine Mother is in all forms and everywhere, where is the fear?

Namaste Divoras. The person who recorded this Mantra in written form did not want to reveal all the seeds explicitly. The kutas in brackets are the seeds that are to be inserted in the Mantra. This is the same as the three kutas of the panchadasi mantra which are called Vagbhavakuta, Kamarajakuta and Shaktikuta. Knowing the names of the kutas does not mean that one knows what seeds are involved.
