Hello Jothi, my rasi is Aquarius ruled by Saturn and my star is poorvabhadra ruled by Jupiter even though I do Lalitha sahasra Nama daily my mind also forces me to do pratyangira maa chants daily and I cannot miss it as it has become part of my life also I do the stotras and chants when I am sick without fear and worry about bhushudfi and I feel that even during my sickness mother always encouraged me for worship and is always with me and do you think my earlier births may be the cause of her devotion or what . Also will it be possible to send your email if it's ok with you.

Namaskar, I have seen many person saying on YouTube, to add OM beej to end of panchakshar mantra also i.e Om Namah shivay Om . They say it become more powerful & also negativity can't steal it, is it true??

Since they are the same number of syllables, is it possible to say hraum is the better bija for sādhakas seeking fast results? Is it alright to substitute hraum for haum, generally speaking?

Per the footnote of nāma 175, I would like to propose this homam at my local temple. Is it possible to recommend a source for more info on this navami Candi homam and it’s effects, so I can properly propose to temple board and priests? It is an Adi Parashakti temple with regular Durgā worship, so this info around navami Candi homam would be warmly welcomed

This book Tripura Rahasyam has been staring at me from my book case for two years now. I really must read it. I think I’ve been putting it off subconsciously because it’s going to present a form of Advaita different than the “hard” non-dualism of Abhinavagupta and perhaps Trīka, of which I am so fond

Ah so it so, that Pañcadaśī mantra is the ultimate mantra? That’s what I’ve learned from wonderfully enlightening pages and comments on Manblunder at least. Is it always that Pañcadaśī is the final mantra sādhaks attain, or are there further mantras for different purposes? Does Pañcadaśī theoretically offer the satisfaction of all pursuits?

Totally agree on all points. Honestly one of the only reasons I’ve had a little success with even self initiation, is because I was able to ask my gurus for guidance and they provided the wisdom and did the puja to ask their ishta deities how I might proceed with the mantras they weren’t familiar with but which I was insistent upon trying anyway. I don’t mean to disparage the importance of guru. In part I am torn by how slow even much of the tantric path is relative to finding a good original grimoire and attempting invocations and evocations to get supernatural results. I mention becuase I think one of the biggest benefits of having a guru and going down mainstream or right hand tantric paths is the safety. For idiots like me who go in thinking it will be so cool to meet a demon, some western black magic and Abhichara is really disastrous, and a guru can save so much suffering. I only hope one day I’ll find a guru specialized in teaching patience without to much effort

Pranaam Krishnaji, I have not been initiated into any of Maa Pratyangira's mantras. I have been given a Siddhi Mantra by Jayantji which I have been chanting for a few months now and I have been following each and every instruction given by him. Other than that, I have been chanting Maa's Sarvarta Sadhaka Kavacham Morning, Evening & Night once each & also Ashtottara Shatnamavali like you had asked me to during evening Puja. I also have a small idol of Maa in my Puja area where I do these recitations. I have not done japa of any of Her mantras other than this, without initiation. I pray to Her daily to show me the way. Ever since I found and read about Maa, it was an instant connection almost as if I have always known about her, when it has only been a few months. I don't know why, but She has become the most important deity to me instantly. I have no explanations to why. None of the other Gods whom I used to pray to earlier, hold that connection as much I have with Maa and quite frankly, sometimes I feel the guilty if I am doing the right thing.It is something that I am still grappling with, even though my devotion & affection for Maa is steady & unwavering. What do you think I should do?

This Stotram is ideally meant for those initiated into Her mantras. If you are already initiated, then you may recite it without any fear. The health condition may not be associated with the japa. If this repeats, then stop reciting the Stotram and wait for some more time to see if it is acceptable to the Divine Mother.

Logically it would seem that we should worship Tripura Bhairavī in Śrī Vidyā, but it is generally not administered to the sādhakas, unless they're very advanced and have a specific desire to worship this form of the Divine Mother. Tripura Rahasyam is one good book to study and understand the deeper secrets associated with the Divine Mother. Ideally, the Tripura Bhairavī mantra should be initiated prior to the Pañcadaśī mantra.
