First, you must seek a proper qualified Guru. Manblunder has the "Mantra Initiations" page where such Gurus may be contacted. As for Vallalar, he was a highly advanced soul at the time of his physical birth with many many lifetimes of sadhana behind him. But we must also remember that at one point in his previous lives, he was at our position. That did not deter him however, he simply kept on practicing and having devotion to God. We should not worry. Everything is God, and whatever bad things happen in our life is ultimately ordained by God as our prarabdha karmas so that we will be purified and advance in our spiritual practice. There is nothing that isn't God, so one should not be afraid. Best wishes.

Hi Prince, it is my apprehension that the Aruṭperuñjōti mantra necessitates a great degree of compassion and intrinsic purity, a state exceedingly challenging to attain in the current age. Therefore, in my opinion, another supramental mantra, नमः शिवाय, can serve as our foremost conduit to the supramental realm within this prevailing age of Kali Yuga. Moreover, its profound capacity to facilitate access to the supramental has been previously affirmed by both Tivra and Tripuraghna. However, if your ultimate inclination is towards Aruṭperuñjōti, it can be approached subsequently, after an initial purification through the नमः शिवाय mantra. Of particular note, the नमः शिवाय mantra provides the distinct benefit of efficacy even without the direct guidance of a guru—a unique advantage not commonly observed in other mantras—given that locating an adept guru is akin to finding a needle in a haystack.

dear all, I wanted to ask regarding the spiritual protection granted upon Vallalar even before his birth, as to my understanding it seems like he was already chosen to unite with Arut-Perum Joti. - maybe this transcends cause and effect and I am ill equipped to understand this - but what about us who don’t have this protection? In fact this is a constant source of anxiety and hopelessness for me because I just feel like a small sand particle trying to follow and failing at even the simple teachings of Vallalar. Furthermore I am often utterly beat down by the world and its effects, how can we overcome this? thank you so much

Dear Dylan Thank you very much. What you wrote is very familiar and understandable to me. In fact, my practice began with Vijñānabhairava Tantra. These meditative practices became the most effective for me of all that I have ever practiced. After esoteric Christianity (despite the fact that I succeeded there), it became clear to me that my experience of the soul is connected with Eastern teachings. My practice lasted daily, hourly and minutely. Even at night during sleep, awareness was maintained. It was incredible happiness and bliss. But then I was taken away somewhere again and all these states eventually evaporated and disappeared. Now (after many years) I am trying to return what was lost, but as it turned out, it is not so easy. However (at the moment) ordinary dhyana - partly compensates for that unforgettable experience.

Namaste Kapil. When reading the injunctions of any scripture, it is important to keep in mind that most of the time that they are mostly confined to the context of the tradition and practice with which the text (or section of a text) is concerned. For instance, the Yoginīhṛdayam and its commentary by Amṛtānandanātha also deal with the Hādi vidyā. Yet, concerning the practitioner of that system, the text says: "Ceaselessly drinking, devouring, and rejecting, acting on his own of his own free will, realizing meditatively the unity of subject and object, the object will remain in happinness." Moreover, the only real rule prescribed for the practitioner in that text is that they be sincere and genuine in their interest and practice, adhering to the rules of practice outlined in the text and by the Kula. The Yogasaṁcāra Tantra says: "As the difference between one category of Tantras and others is considered to be due to the difference between the various rites etc. they teach, therefore what should be done is that which is taught in one of them (i.e. the scripture(s) used by your specific tradition and lineage), and not in accord with another Tantra of a different school." Of course, it is often the case that the concepts expounded in the scriptures overlap, and for that reason studying scriptures from other schools can be incredibly insightful and inspiring, even if you do not practice the specific injunctions of that scripture. The Tantras of Śrīvidyā, Trika, Kubjikā, Kālī, among others, share a common essence, like oil in seeds or scent in flowers. Besides the scriptures, the teacher is one of the primary means of knowledge, and it is from the teacher that one should receive specific instructions which are, if not copied verbatim, at least derived from scriptural injunctions.

Namaste Dylan. My query concerns Kaadi Vidya. With your extensive knowledge of Tantra, I would appreciate your insights on this verse from the Shakti Sangam Tantra: "हादौ तु नियमा: प्रोक्ता यमसंयमादाय:। कादौ तु नियमो नास्ति स्वेच्छया धर्मामाचरेत॥" This verse indicates that while Haadi Vidya requires adherence to rules, like those related to yama and niyama, Kaadi Vidya is free from such restrictions, allowing for practice according to one's own discretion. Considering this interpretation, Ravi Guru Ji's statement that Kaadi Panchadashi can be mentally chanted throughout the day, even amidst daily activities, appears to be consistent and legitimate. What are your thoughts on this verse?

Namaste Nesh. The simplest way to cognize the Unstruck Sound is through paying attention to the breath. The Svacchanda Tantra says: "The God who resides in the chest of living beings spontaneously utters the Mantra not uttered by anybody and that none obstructs." Kṣemarāja explains in his commentary: "Haṁsa is the supreme formless Lord... 'He utters spontaneously' means He pulses radiantly, having transcended the entire procession of denotators and all that they denote in the cosmic order, as the great vitality of Mantra, the essence of which is supreme oneness. For there is no one who utters it or obstructs it, because, as the agent of all things, He is the supreme perceiver. Thus, He is proclaimed to be Unstruck Sound, because He is not made manifest as other phonemes are by the striking of the vital breath on the locations and instruments of articulation. He abides within the heart of breathing beings as the very life of life itself. Only a few who pay attention to it enter into that Being." The Unstruck Sound is essentially vimarśa, the reflective awareness the supreme reality has of itself, by virtue of which it is absolutely autonomous. When manifesting the world, it becomes the vital breath. As phonemes are articulated through the striking of the breath in the throat and mouth, so does the vital breath serve to "articulate" the supreme reality as the totality of all that exists. The Yogabīja says: "The breath exits with the letter Ha and should then enter again with the letter Sa. Thus, the individual soul constantly repeats the mantra 'Haṁsa, Haṁsa'." And in the Vijñānabhairava: "Throughout the day and night, he recites this mantra 21,600 times. Such a japa of the Goddess is mentioned which is quite easy to accomplish; it is only difficult for the ignorant." The exhaled breath (prāṇa) is externalization, while the inhaled breath (apāna) is internalization. Prāṇa is day, apāna is night. Or, prāṇa can be contemplated as the dark/waning lunar fortnight, while apāna is the bright/waxing fortnight. In the bright fortnight, the moon gradually fills up with light. This symbolizes the state of the development of the energies of consciousness within the transcendental reality in order to spill out. In the dark fortnight, these energies spill out into/as the world, and so is the externalization of what was developed internally. Having done this, the process repeats again. The entirety of time is enveloped in the resonance of the vital breath. All of the levels of time for all beings, from an insect to Brahmā, are in the vital breath. Knowing this, contemplating its resonance as such, one attains the highest reality.

Dear Prince ! Well, maybe this will be the dumbest advice ever, but i will still try it.... 1.) Mantras and/or Yantras: There are some Mantras out there to handle such situations, but i do not know, if they will work or not. https://www.prophet666.com/2021/01/effective-mantra-to-remove-bed-bugs.html This is for bed bugs...but maybe it will be helpful for your specific sitation too...i do not know 2.) Special Frequencies: There are frequencies an the internet..or better on youtube for destrpying and/or chasing away different pests... from mice to fleas... https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=frequncies%20against%20pests Again, i do not not, if this works for you. But if you wish, you could try it... So if you have a notebook/laptop, you could simply place it an a small desk, and try to play the frequencies for some time...# Good Luck ! Sincerely, Michael
