Thank you! Very good to hear from you! I neglected to thank you for the atma bija mantra you gave me maybe 18-24 months ago. Japa helped my mind a lot, and lead me to proceeding further into Shri vidya, which has been tremendously beneficial and transformative for me. Many thanks for your guidance.

Namaste. it is very good to have such a summary, but I worry the use of AI to make it is too obvious. This looks like pure AI output, not edited even slightly, just copy paste. A little bit of polishing and reformatting facilitates a way where we can benefit from the efficiency of AI, but when it’s just copy pasting a response from an LLM, it is the reality that many people inherently will find the product uninteresting and/or less compelling, and sometimes suspect just because of the AI use. The human quality I think is very important especially for spiritual publishing. Not to say not to use AI to refine an augment, but when it’s just AI output, it can be off putting to some, so much so that they will pass entirely on the content. Especially as we are exposed to more and more pure AI outputs, there is fatigue and distaste about it for some. I hope it does not sound like I am clutching my pearls, I just would worry about the image of manblunder if it’s previous purely human and very high quality series of articles is impacted by people who visit the beloved site and immediately see an AI post way up at the top. Imo, with just 10 minutes of editing this article, it could be the same content in a way no one will disapprove or find off putting. Would very much appreciate hearing other’s thoughts

Namaste dear Tivra Ji, I was hoping you could help me understand the true form of Maa Dhumavati. From what I know, though I could be wrong, she seems to have three forms. The first one is the version most people talk about the terrible, inauspicious one. But I’ve tried to let go of that idea because I feel that if we want to get closer to the Divine Mother, we need to drop our judgments. When I close my eyes and try to focus on her, I don’t see her clearly. Sometimes I catch a glimpse. What surprises me is how radiant she feels. If I hadn’t already experienced the energy of Maa Guhya Kali and Maa Pratyangira, I might have thought I was sensing Shodashi. Please forgive my confusion, but I wanted to ask why I always feel Maa Guhya Kali and Maa Pratyangira so strongly when I try to connect with Maa Dhumavati. Is there a deeper connection between them? What is her true form? I feel like I’ve begun to understand a small part of her nature, and honestly, she seems nothing like how she’s usually described in popular sources. I don’t know who else to ask, so I’m reaching out to the kind souls at Manblunder.

Namaste Nesh. Think about the name jātavighnākule in the Ucchista Ganapati sahasranama. It means one who removes the obstacles related to the kula, or one from whom the kula originates. What does Kula refer to here? It has two-fold meanings: firstly it refers to the Kaula. Kula is another spelling of kaula and it is well known that Ucchista Ganapati is the essence of all tantras and is the culmination of Hadi, Kadi and Sadi kramas. The second meaning is far more esoteric. Kula also refers to the kuladevatas which have been worshipped by your family for previous generations, and all of the worship which you have done in previous births. That “left over” worship, which never gave fruition to siddhi, is under the control of Sri Ucchista Ganapati. This is why he has unparalleled power and freedom in how he decides to act. It is said in the scriptures one’s past karmas are solely responsible for our present state. But this form of ganesa can give you the fruition of all of your precious births of worship to different deities and even different religions. That is why he is as great as he is.
