Namaste Sadhak. My friend who taught me astrology as well as highly experienced in mantra sadhanas and tantra, he did once recommend me to do this sadhana, but only if I want to be a professional astrologer, which I don't plan on becoming so i didn't do it ever. Power shouldn't be something to be scared of, it's not going to give you new ego or new negative traits, but it might just bring out the ones already inside you. This devi gives knowledge of all forms of time, but I personally don't think it will be of much value unless you are going to actively use it, which you can do with professional astrology or some healing kind of work. One person I know of, just does naam jap of panchanguli devi and she gives great predictions and claims she receives it directly through intuition. Also, my friend told that it kind of protects you from all the negativity, and negative karmas in case you are involved in jyotish and healing kind of work. One positive way it can help you is that, you will be able to understand karma in a much better way and hence will yourself be more careful about it and will know what best to do or how things we do change or not and things like that. Btw, it is my personal opinion that in spirituality, only moksha being the goal shouldn't be held by all. You can also explore more here. After all, you are shiva who limited yourself as an individual being so to experience things. Jay maa.

Yes sir, it's the same mantra. There is very slight change in the one from vedas. Otherwise it's same. That's the one Swami Lakshmanjoo told John Hughes to spread in the world. Also, Shiv Sutras gave a good view of it's own meaning of mantra. One more point I want to add is that, Swami Lakshmanjoo recorded enough of his lectures on various topics and important points of Kashmir Shaivism. Now, KS itself is generally in essence about maintaining awareness all the time. Also, as Indian Philosophies are to be lived, and not just read, one who just applies these teachings actively, and sincerely will surely be worthy enough to take up any mantra from shastras and be able to do sadhana of it without much issue. That is my view.

Life continues after realisation but with an understanding that you are not different from Brahman, we experience the balance prarabdha karma and finally merge with Brahman after death. Even we are in this path to achieve this. Practice is irrelevant after realisation

Thank you so much prince Ji, can you also share your opinion on doing the sadhana of vartali devi/panchanguli devi, do you think it will help a seeker, because there is also a chance that the seeker will go on a power trip after getting siddhi of these, Thank you so much

Thank you very much, Krishna ji, for your thorough explanations. I have wondered always the nature of self-realized gurus. Upon achieving self-realization, do they continue to lead an ordinary life, or is there an additional state to reach? I observe gurus such as yourself and Jayanth ji on the website who are also self-realized. Furthermore, there are revered individuals like Shri Raviji and Shri Tīvraji, who are also self-realized but seem to possess a deeper connection or realization of the divine mother than others. Out of curiosity, I would like to ask: what occurs once an individual becomes self-realized? Is there a continuous desire to achieve further enlightenment, or perhaps something entirely different? Thank you always for your patience and for taking the time to answer my questions in detail, despite me being undeserving.

Let's start the various nyasa of Bhagavati Guhyakali. We shall start with Vaktranyasa (of the Lotus Faces of Bhagavati Guhyakali) and Astranyasa (of the Lotus Arms of Bhagavati Guhykali). Please note that these nyasa have been numbered (1 and 2) hence it is easier to keep track with the future Nyasa. 1) Vaktra-Nyasa and 2) Astra Nyasa (has 2 variants) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SL87B8mmfPkX9uXhQOqRgXpmpncRTQ1uAE4QJ2dvE_w/edit?usp=sharing

For Nyasa No.3 of Bhagavati Guhyakali is the Duti Nyasa. Here various forms of Bhagavati as Sivaduti is invoked. 'Duti' is a type of spiritual being which helps the sadhaka maintain communication with his chief deity. In Sri-Vidya amnaya krama, many such dutis can be seen in certain amnayas. With regards to Siva-Duti, it is none-other than Bhagavati herself who sent Siva as Her messenger to the Asura-Kings in the Past. Kindly forgive the mis-translation of Siva-Duti as "Messenger of Siva', as it should be as 'She Who Sent Siva as a Messenger'.

Sadhak. MahaShoda Nyasa has many rules. For example, one needs atleast Maha Shodasi Deeksha and entry into Urdhvamnaya before entering MahaShoda mandala. There is also a MahaShodha mandala, with the deities of the MahaShodha deities in its enclosure. In the centre lies seat where Maha-maithuna of Maha Tripura-Sundari and Maha-Hamsa Paramesvara happens. Back to the topic, there are many nyasa(s) one needs to perform before undertaking Mahasodha Nyasa. All will be revealed through the Grace of the Guru. No harm in reading the Nyasa if you have it, and deeply contemplating on it, but in terms of practicing it, I hope you find out more before practicing.
