Glad it was useful Krishna Garu. Your Lalita Sahasranama recitation has not only guided you to Srividya mantra sadhana, but as Gurumandala Rupini, Mother made you her medium to guide Sadhaks around the world.

Ishaan, As we know our sages / rishis gave namas/stotrams/mantras/vratas/stories etc., for our spiritual / material benefits. A guru decides appropriate methods for sadhaks. For those who are not ready for higher-order mantra anushtans, our sages composed stotrams/katha/kavachams etc in such a way that Mantras were kept hidden in stotrams. while we enjoy reciting stotrams/katha we also get benefits of mantra recitation without following strict mantra-anushtan procedures. For qualified disciples, guru shares what is called as "Mantra Uddhara" which unearths the "Guhya Bija" (hidden bija). Example : If one does Mantra-Uddhara on first Rk of Srisuktam "hiranyavarnam harineem...." the guhya bija is "Hreem". Similarly, if you do Mantra-Uddhara on "Durge Smrita Harasi....." the guhya bija is "Shreem". While we recite these Rks or Slokas, we also get benefits of reciting guhya-bijas. Similarly, 13 chapters of Durga Saptashati has 700 Mantras (including Uvacha mantras). One can recite it as Katha/Purana. One can do Tantric anushtana with nyasa/navarna mantra/Purvangas/uttarangas etc which is quite common. Bija-mantratmak saptashati unearths 700 guhya bijas within Saptashati. In the past, it was kept secret within guru parampara. Guru shared with ONLY qualified/deserved senior Chandi upasak. Now multiple books have these 700 Bija mantras made explicit as Bija-mantratmak Saptashati/Tantric Saptashati

Lorranji, Your comment reminded me of Swami Vivekananda's Poem "Kali the Mother" especially the second part "Dancing mad with joy, Come, Mother, come! For Terror is Thy name, Death is in Thy breath, And every shaking step, Destroys a world for e'er. Thou "Time", the All-Destroyer! Come, O Mother, come! Who dares misery love, And hug the form of Death, Dance in Destruction's dance, To him the Mother comes"

Namaskaarams Guruji, Hope you are doing great. It is with great hope that I am writing to you to guide me and initiate into suitable mantra of Shri Tara Devi. My name is Subramanian Ramakrishnan Iyer and I am Brahmin by birth residing in Mumbai. In the past couple of years I have been trying to get back to roots as much as possible and after many hours of browsing, I found your website Manblunder. I personally find it a treasure house of knowledge and am really grateful for the knowledge that is being shared on the website. Also during these years I have been reading more and more about Tara Devi. I am already reciting the Ugra Tara Kavacham on regular basis. For some time it has been in my mind to also begin with mantra japa of Devi. Each time when I reach the section which mentions initiation, I get withdrawn and am not able to work around it. Although the Devi's voices in my mind say to begin them, I am unsure of the procedure or rather fearful that I may commit mistakes or not understand the procedure properly. Is there any chance that you may guide me. It is a humble request. Also as per the Guru-shishya relation, it is the Guru who guides and chooses the suitable mantra initiation for the shishya. I am aware that I have not even scratched the surface of our ancient ways. It is a humble request. Hoping for a suitable reply. Warm Regards, Subramanian Ramakrishnan Iyer.

Dear Krsna, thank you very much for all those uploads and in particular for your beautiful introductions and translations of the hymns and kavacas of those otherwise easily feared ugra devatas. Above you say, that you suggest to get initiated prior the recitation of this kavac. Do you mean to get initiated into this kavac or generally initiated into the mantras of ether Sri Tara Devi and / or Sri Pratyangira Devi. And does one have to get initiated into both the mantras or is an initiation into one of them enough to be qualified to recite this kavac? Thank you so much! All the best Ben
