Krishna, my dear friend, you don't know this, but Raviji was also one of my gurus. I was in personal contact with him and have received valuable guidance from him several times. We were in personal contact prior to and during his period of illness and before he passed away. So you see, I'm not some passer-by; I'm your, and all of Raviji's disciples', guru bhai. I'm family, dude. Further, I'm already initiated, so be assured I'm not shopping around on Manblunder. When Herodion and Kuru Sandhyasa declared themselves as also disciples of Raviji, I recognised in them my senior guru bhai-s, and to respect their position and encourage all who might be interested, I offered to kick-start the process and formally take from them whatever mantra or practice they'd give me. This is a traditional position recognized by several lineages - senior disciples of the same guru can teach the juniors. So, you see, I'm definitely not here to pounce on the unwilling. I'm here not for my personal benefit, but to give some succour and relief to struggling and confused sadhakas. I'm here to try to set my master's house in order. I'm here to save this parampara and dharma from further injury. I'm here to safeguard Raviji's original vision. Now, I've gone through your writeup, and I'm disappointed in you, my friend. I see only excuses and evasion of responsibility in your words. You say that sadhakas on Manblunder should be initiated elsewhere and not here. Then why even maintain the initiations page? Pull it down! You say that you have families and don't have time. Who doesn't, in today's time and age? Has paucity of time ever been an acceptable excuse for not doing the right thing? You say you're not an organization and just some discussion blog/website. Really? Then why situate yourself in Raviji's lineage, when you do not honour his vision? Say you are a new thing, an independent thing. Declare openly that you're just an online forum, declare that no initiations are done here, take down the initiations page. Make it clear to all, and not just here in the comments. Krishna, my friend, is it advisable to say one thing and do another thing? Is it just? Is it good? I sincerely hope you'll ponder over my words, which have come from a place of love and concern. I've nothing against or for anyone. Certainly I've nothing against you or Tivra or Dylan or Agni or Tripuraghna or anyone else. Whether it is Krishna or Kuru Sandhyasa, both are my guru bhai-s. I've never spoken earlier, even when there were flame wars. But I now feel I should have. Maybe things would have been better.

Dear Chakravarti, the articles presented on this site by Shri Ravi ji will certainly guide an aspirant towards spiritual growth and emancipation. Those looking for Śrīvidya sādhana have various options available in almost every city in India and spreading everywhere in the world too, with online and offline organizations helping prospective sādhakas. Note that the progress made by a sādhaka is almost entirely their own effort aided by the able guidance of their guru. We at Manblunder are not an organization and are simply helping out whoever we can in the limited amount of time that we are able to spare. We are working professionals in jobs, leading our own families and helping out prospective sādhakas as and when we can. Please use the site as a guide and most articles on the site are written by Shri Ravi ji himself to help sādhakas find the right guidance. Think of him leading you on your spiritual journey and guiding you. You can use this site as a supplement to the directions that you obtain from your guru and all other sources of information gathered through books and writings on other sites etc. Let us be content that advanced scholars like Tivra visit this site and provide valuable information that can help us in our journey. I understand your desire to seek help from the best of gurus. It is the intention of this site that advanced scholars like Tivra shower their blessings upon us in the manner they deem fit and let us pray that this continues for a long time to come and becomes a great catalyst in advancing our spiritual journey.

Certainly, Dear Prince. I will abide by your suggestion. I will wait till all the parts of the Ṣoḍhā nyāsa are released and then publish them.

Dear Prince, this appears to be the 1000 lettered mantra of Śrī Siddhilakṣmī mantra and probably not the Sahasranāma although the meaning of the word "arṇa" can be both. The mantra is coded within the ślokas. Hopefully we will find a decoded mantra when this tantra is decoded and published by learned scholars. I pray that someone from the Kālīkula and advanced scholars come up with the decoded mantra.

Kashik, Sadhak, quite the opposite, he consciously kills the heritage of Tantra, and i don't care for it, as the only thing i care for is the direct Will of Kali. showing the mantras that you have not realised is killing. Prince can not be so naïve to "save tantra" this way.

I second this question, for I have had similar doubts. Particularly when the givers of practices disclaim the responsibility of acting as gurus. Krishna, the main custodian and chief worker of Manblunder, has stated several times that the practices given in Manblunder must not be attempted without a guru, and has advised people to seek out one. At the same time, the initiations work/function of Manblunder doesn't seem to be progressing, for we see people complaining that their emails for initiations are going unanswered. Krishna is on record telling people that even if initiated through Manblunder gurus, not much hand holding or guidance can be expected, and that it'd be better for people to connect to other accessible gurus. But the elephant in the room, one everybody is assiduously not addressing, is the unknown Tivra and Krishna's overwhelming regard for him. Tivra is on record stating that he will not be anyone's guru. For example, on June 5, 2024 he wrote "I am forbidden to be anyone's Guru. I am also forbidden to meet anyone." But the giving of practices has continued. Others have given other practices. Everybody is giving, but nobody is guiding. This is a state of affairs that has resulted in Manblunder becoming solely a discussion forum for advanced people rather than also a place where sadhakas may come, get initiated, learn and advance. I believe this was the original intention of the founder, Raviji. He was an extremely liberal guru, and encouraged everyone to take up practices that he gave on Manblunder, but he never disclaimed his guruhood. He never said that he'd not be anyone's guru if they asked. Raviji also encouraged people to take Siva Dakshinamurti as Guru if needed, and is on record stating that he gave practices on Manblunder after praying to Devi that people may take them up and practice without harm. So this is the background against which the current developments contrast. Amargi, your question has a simple, politically correct answer - "The practices shared here on Manblunder are meant for those who already have gurus, and are meant to be practised after consultation with said gurus. They are not meant for you or anyone and everyone. We are not responsible if you do it on your own. And don't come to us, as we cannot guide you." And this answer would be right, but only just right. The honourable thing to do, to bring this existential crisis in Manblunder to a proper resolution, is to formally elevate Tivra to guruhood on Manblunder (he already is a de facto guru to Krishna and several others here), and share his lineage details, his guru/gurus details, if he has one, and his contact details along with a program of how to contact him for guidance. At one stroke, all issues would be solved and Manblunder would come out of its self imposed crisis. Votaries of the traditional way and critics such as Kuru Sandhyasa would be silenced. All schisms would dissolve. Peace would once again prevail in Manblunder. Beginners would once again get a clear path and way forward. If however for any reason Tivra refuses to accept guru status, then I put to you all that he must take a hard look at what he's doing. You cannot do things that a guru does and at the same time take the position that you are not a guru. A flower is known by its fragrance. A man is known by his actions. Tivra and everyone who's giving practices on Manblunder openly is a de facto guru for that practice. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is a duck. My suggestion to Krishna and all the admins of Manblunder is to convince Tivra and bring him on board as a guru. That's the dharmic way.

Dear Tivra, I will not beat around the bush. You are the 900-pound gorilla, the elephant in the room, here on Manblunder. Your presence here is of great value to all, undoubtedly, but there are doubts, not without reason, about the way you're going about it. I believe there's a better way, a dharmic way to solve all issues at one stroke. In another comment I have suggested bringing you on board as a guru in a manner that will cause peace to prevail on Manblunder and also, more importantly, cause your guidance to be available to beginners and all sadhakas. I request you to go through that proposal in full. I hope you will reflect on it and do the honourable thing as an embodiment of the guru principle. Thanks.

Hello amargi, you forgot a important thing when Prince revealed this mantra, he expressed his desire to end the secrecy regarding the mantra and their usage and since Prince is also a devotee and considered Devi as his mother, so this is nothing but mother fulfilling her child's wish. Simple hehehe. Of course we can debate when did mother planned of this Leela maybe it was during prince's previous 108 birth or could be 10008th birth who knows... But nonetheless we can be  assured everything is going according to her wish and by the movements of her eyebrows.

Exactly Prince Ji

If these things aren't shared, then there is a risk of them being lost forever, similar to what has happened with many Tantras in Hinduism, also it is totally upto Maa to permit or prohibit anyone from chanting a mantra, who are we to gatekeep? there are billions of people in the world, how many of them walk this path? and how many follow the path consistently? there are contradictory points made, on one hand there is a claim that these mantras won't work without a deeksha and on the other hand, people are warning about the dangers, hahaha.
