Here may be what you seek: https://sanskritdocuments.org/doc_devii/guhyakAlIsahasranAmastotram.itx Do be cautious. Proceed with a heart full of love for not only our mother, but also the entirety of creation which is part of her. If one struggles with Tamasic traits and thoughts in particular, this is not something that will provide relief in the way a tamasic person would hope for, although it should provide the treatment that elevates the self to be aware of its oneness with the Self/Parabrahman. This treatment can be perceived as highly unpleasant depending on one’s karma

On sanskritdocuments website, there is a variation noted where “ krām̐ krīm̐ krūm̐ kālikā devi” can be changed to “ krām̐ krīm̐ krūm̐ kuñjikā devi”. Will the alternation of Kālikā for Kuñjikā or vice versa here affect the meaning or efficacy of this chant? Based on my limited experience, kālikā is the standard but the kuñjikā substitution seems to fit in a way pleasing to Devi as well.

Where can one purchase Shri Ramesh’s book “Meditative Texts”? I am having difficulty finding a vendor carrying it, or any e-book version. Is the author’s publisher or some contact detail available?

How is the “ai” pronounced at the end of many of these names? Like the hard A sound in way? Or the hard I sound in the word eye? Based on the Sanskrit spelling, it should be pronounced as “eye”, right? However, in recordings of all sorts of mantras, people use an hard A sound, like in stay. For example, ॐ चन्द्रावल्यै नमः। is said as oṃ candrāvalyay namaḥ।, but the Sanskrit spelling indicates different pronunciation

It is best to perform the havan for a mantra that you have been practicing for a long time. If you haven't, then you can consider performing Śrī Sudarśana Homam with the help of a qualified priest in your home or at a temple. If the priest is a sādhaka or guru, then it is even better. Most of the troubles that we go through are a result of our karma and they inevitably guide us to the Divine to seek solace obtain the Divine Grace. In these situations, it is best to approach a guru with an open mind and seek solutions. Powerful deities such as Śrī Vārāhī should be approached through Śrī Vidyā and Śrī Pratyaṅgirā through Kālī Krama. The most powerful mantras are seldom effective on non-initiates and are always the most difficult ones to yield results. Their results are definitely overwhelming, but not within reach for most of us including myself. I would certainly recommend starting small and following any school of mantra śāstra that you have a strong liking towards. It is most important to find an able guru who is well versed with the procedures and is able to guide you. Ideally, it is best to learn from a guru in person to master the mudras, nyāsas etc., as well as to clear any doubts that you may have.

I am not aware of the 64 Mātṛkas but the Yoginis are mentioned. Maybe the various combinations of the consonants also give rise to further mātṛkas. I am not aware of any tantra that describes the additional mātṛkas. If you do have any such information that has been researched and published, please do let us know.
