Sri Matrey Namaha | Sri Gurubhyo Namaha || Thank you Santosh for eloquently explaining Sri Vidya tradition(s), the importance of a Guru and a need for Guru in practices such as Sri Vidya. This is the clarity a sincere seeker seeks and your podcast has done justice in disseminating vital information required to get started for a true and committed sadhaka. Also liked the way you have laid out esoteric concepts, sliced and diced the information in a simple understandable language without much jargon. Heartfelt gratitude to Ravi Guruji for setting up a wonderful platform such as this and a thousand salutations to all other Gurus - Jayanth, Krishna, Santosh and everybody working tirelessly behind the scene to bring us a treasure trove of information, literature, hymns, stotras, mantras, secret and guarded tantric practices and patiently explaining queries in comments. Long Live Man Blunder, Sanatana Dharma and everybody working tireless and selflessly in propagating the essence of Dharma. May everybody find divinity and encourage others to stumble upon this wonderful and glorious path of Sri Vidya Sadhana.

Respected Surya, is there an AdiParaShakti mantra for supramental yoga like eg: Om Shakti or AdiParaShaktiye Namah? Also for Namah Shivaya in supramental yoga do you have to do entire nyasa, dhyanam, panchapuja etc like its given here https://manblunder.com/articlesview/shiva-panchakshari-mantra-japa although here the mantra has an Om in front of Namah Shivaya.

Dear Krishnaji, are these Navagraha Mantras separate or integral practice with Sri Vidya sadhana?

Sir, Is initiation required for this mantra?

Thank you so much. May Maharishi bless us all.

There is an article about him on this website https://manblunder.com/articlesview/ashwatthama-saptarishi-8th-manvantara

Guruji, is it possible to have a glimpse of the picture of Ashwathama Maharishi.

Ji, it’s possible to share the picture of Ashwatama Maharishi.

One last thing I forgot to say. A little known fact is the recommendation to always worship and ask for blessings from Mahāvārāhī before worshiping Mahāpratyaṅgirā. But why? They are like sisters. By asking for blessings from Mahāvārāhī, the devotee demonstrates that he needs Mahāpratyaṅgirā in a special situation that only she could resolve. It's a kind of warning about who he's dealing with. And what wouldn't Mahāvārāhī solve? The truth is that Mahāvārāhī solves everything, but only a Bhakta of Mahāpratyaṅgirā should, theoretically, worship this very aggressive form of the Divine Mother. The thing is that the Bhakta of Mahāpratyaṅgirā does not worship her because he needs protection or to solve some problem. This devotee simply loves her without an apparent reason. It is difficult to find a true devotee of this Mother.

Aditya shukla. The answer to your question is that Bhaṇḍāsura is Lalitā, the entire enemy army is also Lalitā. But why? Because this war is a game. The person responsible for these absurdities that are difficult to understand is Bālā Tripurasundarī. The moment Bālā ceased to exist, Lalitā would become unwilling to play and would see no point in it, and the entire existence would become ugly and completely destroyed. Then she would close her eyes and nothing would exist. When the devotee advances in the worship of Bālā Tripurasundarī, he discovers that the entire enemy army is also Lalitā. But what happens to the devotee after that? He stops harboring negative emotions towards enemies and the battle with them becomes a sport or fun. He becomes innocent, but not harmless. He views the battle of life as a sport. Lalitā praises Bālā as her own life, and demonstrates a concern for her existence and good. This means that without the innocence of Bālā you will be stopped at some point in the spiritual journey. Lalitā gave a dagger to Bālā with a blade having the destructive power of all deities and the entire Śrīcakra. She gave the dagger to Bālā and said: go and play with this dagger. Since then, wherever Bālā is, all the deities will also be there. The devotee can meditate on Bālā with this dagger with golden and pink luminance as the pendant of her necklace. Whenever anyone tries to take possession of Bālā, this dagger destroys him immediately. Play with Bālā, don't try to possess her. Bālā never holds this dagger in her hands, it is the bad people who are pierced by its blade because of the intention to dominate her. Nothing is more protected than the Game. Bālā is the game. Vārāhī is the Prakāśarūpa of Lalitā. For people's information, Vārāhī is Guhykālī herself and the entire Hādividyā combined. Śyāmalā is the Vimarśarūpa of Lalitā. Śyāmalā is Tārā herself and the entire Sādividyā combined. She acts as Īśvara and her orders are irrevocable. Even Lalitā never questions Śyāmalā's decisions, such is her trust. How would Lalitā doubt her own personified intellect? Who is Mahāgaṇapati? He is the Lord of the Mātṝkā Chakra. What I mean is that he is the guardian of sound, guardian of the word. If Mahāgaṇapati wants to obstruct you, nothing you say at all levels of sound will be effective. With this, you will be completely obstructed in the material world too, as the Universe is the product of the 50 Mātṝkā. Every material object can be converted into sound. Mahāgaṇapati made the letters written in the Evil Yantra placed in the war null and void. Then the Yantra was destroyed.
