As someone who is not initiated to this, can I chant ॐ श्री सम्पत्करी देव्यै नमो नमः ? It is an approved 'nama' japa of Sri Sampatkari Devi?

Namaskaram. I am not initiated to this but I wish to worship Sampatkari Devi. Am I allowed to chant ॐ श्री सम्पत्करी देव्यै नमो नमः ? It is an approved 'nama' japa of Sri Sampatkari Devi?

Namaste PN, something important that I forgot to mention is that Siddhi Lakshmi plays in Kali Kula and Shri Kula. Rajyasiddhi Lakshmi is her playing at Shri Kula. Purna Chandi is Siddhi Lakshmi playing in the Kali Kula. I explained about Shri Kula's Siddhi Lakshmi, while the other advanced devotees talked about Purna Chandi. Kali and Shodashi play with each other. The beautiful Shodashi sometimes shows an aggressiveness as frightening as Kali and bursts into laughter, laughing at the devotee's surprise. The terrible Kali sometimes shows mercy and forgiveness as immense as Shodashi's, and also laughs at the surprised devotee. They are the same thing and they are playing with the devotee. They are a crazy girl driving us all crazy. But there is perfection in this madness, and an uplifting purpose.

In the nama 150, does Avadhya means incapable of being transgressed or dishonored? In that case, its negation of Nir + Avadhya would mean susceptible to dishonor. Could anyone kindly clarify my doubt?

Pranaams to Krishnaji & everyone here. Thank you so much for all your answers. ALthough I have read through each comment, I will have to read & re- read them again, to try and comprehend the meaning of it all. I am so glad I asked the questions. I got answers more than I had hoped for. Thank you so much. And indeed @Surya ji, Tantra is complicated. I was/am too a Krishna Bhakti Worshipper. But then I discovered this site and I found Maa Pratyangira and my journey changed. I can't explain why or how, it was almost overnight and so many of the things that I thought or imagined as to what would be the attributes of Maa were exactly confirmed by some of Maa's advanced sadhakas in their various comments. I am so thankful and ever so grateful to all those divine people' who run this site. I cannot thank you enough. May Maa Pratyangira bless you all!

This has become very common and many are suffering due to the distractions and irresponsible behavior of children as well as the entitlement that we have provided to them. My suggestion is to take him to a Psychologist for therapy sessions. They can be good career guides and advise best on how to proceed from a practical perspective. In addition to this, I would suggest that you consider energizing a rudrākṣa mālā and offer it to your son. It will take some time to show its effects but your son will definitely become more responsible.

I could not follow your question. We have provided the entire pūja of Śrī Ucchiṣṭa Gaṇapati in this article and if you are requesting the same for Lord Hanumān including His upāsana, then it would be posted in the years ahead. Nothing is planned at this time.

I was leaving the comments section open for queries directed to the venerable master Shri Jothi. I see that this question has been answered adequately by the sincere sādhakas and regular patrons of this site. My heartfelt thanks to everyone for taking the initiative to answer and dig back into the wealth of comments that we have on this site and sharing the same with other aspirants. I have nothing more to add to the answers already provided. The masters have shown us the path and we need to absorb and follow it to the fullest extent possible.

I will try to answer your question: Moola Pratyangira is Siddhilakshmi. She is called this because she emenated for the first time the form of Pratyangirā (moola means root, siddhi Lakshmi is the “root” of Pratyagirā). But isn’t the energy of Pratyangira primordial and omnipresent with the universe and beyond it? Yes definitely, it s none less than Adi Parāśakti herself, however the form of Pratyangira we most recognize emerged with a purpose, as all forms of the emanations of Divine Mother do. See, Siddhilakshmi is none other than Guhyakālī. She is an aspect of her with specific interests and past times. Some say the full Guhyakālī is the dark side of Lalitāmbikā, and Guhyakālī is no different than Lalitāmbikā, and She is beyond the Brahman. Within the manifested reality, saguna Brahman, there are two queens (two sides of a single coin) who love each other very dearly and are always dialoguing about running the universes. They are Lalitā Mahātripura Sundarī and Kāmakalā Kālī. These two forms are not the most esoteric forms of divine mother, but they are her imperial regent forms, and the solely have the power to rule as absolute monarchs. Their wishes and desires and directives are immediately and totally carried out by their numerous ministers and aides found in their cakras and composing the queens themselves (some of whom are actually more esoteric and “fundamental” which is very interesting but perfectly logical). When Narasimha became fully enraged and desired to eradicate the tamo guna, a form had to be created to subdue his ego (if the tamo guna is eradicated, manifested creation would’ve ceased wherever that occurred) . So now there is a necessity for a new form, but one of the rulers, one of the two queens, must order it. Kāmakalā Kālī (Rakta form of Guhyakālī aka Kāmakalā Kālī-Guhyakālī) gave the order to Guhyakālī in her aspect of Siddhilakshmi to complete the task of dreaming up and generating a form so great and terrible that it would instantly humble Narasimha at his most ferocious. Siddhilakshmi carried out the task and put the primordial energy we now call as Mahāpratyangira into the shape of this agonizingly immense and maximally ferocious thousand headed Pratyangira, who’s appearance immediately cowers and humbles all else. She is pure dharma and creative energy, the absolute upholder of divine law and balance, and she inherits her nature from none other than Guhyakālī, although it seems to be even more sharpened and pronounced in the Pratyangira forms. I’ve learned all this only from the advanced sadhakas who have been able to share this knowledge publicly here through the immense efforts and grace of Śrī Vaidyanath Ravi and his disciples. om aiṁ hrīṁ śrīṁ lalitāmbikāyai namaḥ ||

Dear PN. I know Tantra is complicated, that's why many people simply choose Bhakti Yoga, just like Kṛṣṇa worshippers. But the Divine Mother did not leave anyone helpless. There are paths for all tastes.
