Namaste Jayanth ji. Please forgive me if this feels like a counter-question, I hold both you and Krishna ji in very high regard, and I’m truly grateful that you’ve been so patient with my limited understanding. The only way I know to grow is by asking questions like this, even if they come across as direct. In one of Shri Ravi ji’s articles, he mentioned that sadhana never really ends, it continues right until our last breath. I was wondering whether the practice you spoke about which stops after realization is different from sadhana, or if they’re essentially the same? I’ve always thought of them as one and the same. Another thing I’ve been reflecting on is how we can tell the difference between prarabdha karma (the destiny we’re experiencing now) and the new karma we’re creating in the present moment. Also, when Krishna ji spoke about avoiding rituals done purely for material gain, did he mean all rituals, or only certain ones? I’m still very much a beginner on this path. The only ritual I perform regularly is Shivling abhishekam. While doing it, my mind naturally turns toward Shiva, and I feel as though He is right there in the lingam. There’s no asking for anything material, it’s simply a quiet joy in worshipping Him. I imagine that when someone does Sri Chakra puja with the same pure love and devotion toward Maa Lalita, it must feel equally beautiful. I’d be so grateful for your thoughts on this. If I continue the Sri Chakra puja in this spirit, with love and no expectations, would it still be considered a waste of time, or should I shift my focus more toward japa instead? Thank you very much for taking the time to guide me. I truly value your insights.

Krishna. Admitting your request is serious, which would be nothing short of a radical twist of fate, I am willing to offer initiation into beginner mantras to sadhakas. Hanuman Chalisa, Mahamrityunjaya, orthodox deities, Devi stotrams, physical yoga, guidance towards dhyana, planetary mantras, among others. I have already provided my email, herodionherodium@gmail.com. I must add that this tattva is draining for me, but I was very recently stabilized through being guided towards my mother and my guru has approved this action, so I shall honor this opportunity the Devi has shown me through you. My guidance extends to those willing to be consistent and with a mature approach, with an interest in genuine spirituality; this means, at times, boredom, this means at times persevering without result and this means at times pushing through heaven and hell with full faith in God. I have also spoken with Kuru, and he is very much willing as well. He can give diksha to much more extreme tantric mantras, but he will not accept students he has not looked into beforehand. This means a vetting process, and a much stricter approach to tantra than the one I have, similar to taking a vow but for explosive results. Kuru will want to look deeply into potential disciples because of the nature of his attainment and of the path he proposes, while I am less strict with those I would offer guidance to. I must add that both of us are connected to Raviji and that there is no cost for anyone other than the rahasya and faith inherent to tantric practice.

Dear Raman, my friend, thanks for sharing the excerpt from Om Swami's book. I remember reading it when it was released some years ago. I believe this excerpt, if not misunderstood and misapplied by sadhakas, shall certainly help them. Now, I believe that the life history of Om Swami himself is equally, if not more, important to the topic. He had a horrendous time with his guru, his first one in Varanasi. He achieved nothing. He almost died. I remember feeling quite moved. And I was distressed to see just how deep the rot has gone into the vitals of Hinduism. And I remember thinking, ok, that's par for course in Kalu Yuga, but this Om Swami chap sure is naive, and if he doesn't change his views and path, he'd never succeed. Turns out, while he was too straight for his own good, he had the good sense to steer clear of danger and abandon a profitless path. He had fire in him, that great power of single minded persistence. He went ahead and attained success in his sadhana. I believe his own experiences should be a case study for all sadhakas today.

Dear Vipul, thanks for your help. I believe your assessment of Kashmir Saivism is correct. The upaya architecture bears this out. The system design is such. You have the veera bhava in you, my friend. Nurture it and ascend to great heights. God bless you.

I am confused about can we rely on digital devices to tell the right time for this stotram. Because the original post by Tivra ji, it mentions that solar noon changes and something about midnight, I have zero clues about this. Any help that's effective and practical would be really appreciated. Jai Shree krishna

Is this the link which we have to use to change our financial issues like debt, loan, etc. https://stotranidhi.com/hi/sri-tripura-bhairavi-ashtottara-shatanamavali-in-sanskrit/. I have already begun by using the link above but it went to 'shatnama stotram in sanskrit' page, so I changed it while I could. Is initiation required or can we just use this mantra with our power of concentration.

For example, the Midnight Sandhyā lasts 72 minutes (36 minutes before and after Midnight; the same applies to the Noon Sandhyā, but the Dawn and Dusk Sandhyās have their own rules for beginning and ending: 48|24 Sunrise, 24|48 Sunset) The above quote is from a valuable comment by Tivra ji. I don't know how useful it is, but can anyone who understands the context well tell me how to calculate the right timings for these Sandhya periods. I hope it's not answered already, I just want a clear answer because the original post by Tivra ji didn't help me understand the exact timing. How will this calculation be different in different time zones. I'd like everyone to do it right now matter the time zone. Thanks to Krishna, the admin and Lord Krishna.

Dear Vipul, thank you so much for answering this, if possible can you ask your astrologer friend to share the Vidhi and some more insights? does the devi talk to you?, or is it only a way to improve intuition?, I did know about the past and future part, but does it work on an individual scale only, or will it work on a grander scale?, and is it only limited to humans, or can we use it to know about animals as well, if you could please shed some more light, it would be very helpful , and yes, I'm practicing astrology, but not earning from it as of now, I want to get better at it for sure, Thank you, Jai Maa.
