An article which is very potential yet contains a lot of fallacies. Throughout all scriptures like Upanishads, Puranas and Tantras, Shakti is said to be anadhi along with Shiva hence can never be created. If you say Shiva's only creation was Shakti, then where did he get the power to create? First of all, why fix notation of He or She to Shiva, the Brahmam? Fixing these terms are faulty as it discriminate the position of femininity below masculinity. Shakti was never created by Shiva, but separated out of it for the Sake of creation. Together both Tatvas generate other tatvas. Shakti tatva was inherent within Shiva tatva before creation, therefore did not exist as a separate entity. This state is called Shiva Shaktyaikyam, which is referred as Lalithambika in her ultimate Nirguna Brahmam mode. We both have discussed previously how Devi is both Shiva and Shakti as per various scriptures. If you emphasize more on oneness or advaitam, then Prakasha Shiva and Vimarsa Shakti can never be different entities. Prakasha itself expands itself as Vimarsha. Shiva himself assumes the role of Shakti. This is confirmed as per many puranas and Tantras too. Devi herself says She is Brahman and Brahma Shakti, Purusa and Prakriti, Paramatma and Parasakthi as per Devi Atharvasirsham, Lalithopakhyanam, Srimad Devi Bhagavatam, Yogini Hridayam, Tripura Rahasyam and many more scriptures, most importantly as per the most revered Lalita Sahasranamam. I understand it is not my job to change anyone's perspective but I was asked by many about the articles of Manblunder, which become inspiration for many Srividya upasakas. When I looked through the articles here, I was really impressed on many but when it comes to Lalithambika, this website is so discriminative. For a website which promotes Srividya yet place Devi inferior is a very bad example. Brahmam is not 'Him' or 'Her' in specific. Brahmam is Lalita, which you have missed throughout the articles yet place her as Maya, the perishable. So, I commented as a Srividya practitioner and as a devoted child of Amba so that followers under me use this website without growing hatred towards Manblunder.

Namaste, And thank you very much for those texts and explainations. I need some clarification here : "Ego is the main impediment in identifying our body as Kūṭastha." is it impediment or causer? If ego is impediment in identifying our body as Kūṭastha then it is OK for Realisation. But if it is causer in identifying our body as Kūṭastha, I understand better. Is there something to revise?

I would suggest Kubera, Dhanada mantras with the associated proper procedures, yantras and stotras instead of this particular stotram, if you are looking towards material benefits. This stotram can also grant all the benefits, if you combine with the associated mantra and yantra worship procedures. On an individual basis, to the best of my knowledge, it will NOT give any results, material or spiritual.

Gurugaru, I shouldn't ask about materialistic benefits and needs about a powerful upasana. As an novice with dull brains I want to know whether reciting the sahasranama fulfills all wishes?

Thank you thank you Krishna ji. Happy Jatamansi! Ok, so they both fullfil all desires and objectives. But it seems Klīm has the added benefit of attraction? I wonder why Klīm isn't used in formulating atma bija. Klīm is my favorite bija. The Masters here tell me that Shrīm was formulated as my atma bija. I'm a little sad, haha

Congratulations on the new arrival! Blessings to you and your family! Both the seed mantras help in the fulfillment of desires. The mantra śrīm̐ is for both spiritual and material fruition of all our objectives and desires. These seed mantras as part of a mantra or by themselves may yield the results when the associated japa procedures are properly initiated and followed. There is always the karma factor that we possess that may hinder with the japa and it may result in more time, but some results will follow if we persist.

You should have an initiation to any of Lord Gaṇeśa's mantras to recite this kavacam, for it to be effective. You may consider Gaṇeśa Durga stotram instead, which has no pre-requisite.

It is on the cards and I am waiting to hear from Jamila, a serious devotee of Kamalā devi. With her input, it will be published.

I will translate and publish this stotra for you.

The 'fe' you refer, should be 'phem̐' (फेँ) and it is associated with Pralayāgni (ph), ūrdhvakeśī (e) and nāda-bindu (m̐). We will publish the mantra you have referenced, so that it can be used with this Āvaraṇa pūja as well. It is generally pronounced as 'fe' in Hindi, but in Sanskrit it is 'ph', which is a stressed 'p' followed by 'h'. The correct pronunciation is emphasized for mantras.
