Namaste Nesh. I am very delighted to hear your experience! For a general overview of these things, I would recommend you read the Śivasūtras (with the commentary of either Kṣemarāja or Bhāskara), the Spandakārikās (again, preferably with Kṣemarāja's commentary), the Pratyabhijñāhṛdayam, and the Virūpākṣapañcāśikā. If you are a Śrīvidyopāsaka, I would also recommend the Bhāvanopaniṣad (with Bhāskararāya's commentary), Kāmakalāvilāsa, and Cidvilāsastava. These will help you to understand the Śrīcakra and the Pañcadaśī in this context. The Cidvilāsastava also has a lot of stuff that will be useful to anyone, not just Śrīvidyopāsakas.

This is very beautiful! For our edifications, may I ask you to shed light on the apparent differences in personality vis. Humans among the red twin queens of consciousness, Lalita Mahatripurasundari and Kamakala Kali? Tangentially, I encountered very brief informal commentary that the fox head on the top of one of the forms associated with Guhya Kali, is Kamakala Kali. I also heard once that this was the source of some confusion among certain lineages, regarding the relationship between Guhya Kali and rakta guhya kali

Namaste Omid. Many thanks for sharing these profound insights. In the context of the sublime nitya sadhana Shri Tivra revealed, where the sadhaka accompanies a mantra with a specific emotional evocation as offering, would it be plausible that eventually, one may go from a mixed effect due to the manas and ahamkar, to eventually a more and more pure effect with the mantras, even while the same rasas are offered? If it is alright, I wanted to also request reading suggestions from you, as your analysis and understandings are quite wondrous, and I would like to saturate myself with things you have studied.

Namaste Dylan. I've been reading and re reading your words as they contain such actionable wisdom. Also for the beautifully articulated and authentically derived shaktādvaita. It has had a notably beneficial effect on my mind and day to day life. Sadhana as well, flows easier from contemplating what you posted. So I am really, really grateful. Also, I wanted to ask if you would recommend some texts to better grasp the nature of reality, in pure shakta context. Best regards

How should we align the breath with mantra aim kleem sauh sauh kleem aim?

Hello, some lineages use sarvajanam me or sarvam me instead of trailokyam me, are those correct variations too? Also, if we add a name of any deity we like, the number of syllables will change from 98 to more, would that be a valid mantra then?

Namaste Sri Krishna Guru ji. Could you clarify the mantra given in Shiva Samhita 5.190-191? This is looks like some version of Bala Mantra: vag-bija, kama-bija and shakti-bija. They are not directly indicated in the text, only their names. However, the translator for some reason defines the last bija of shakti as "strim". Is this a mistake (when correct is sauḥ) or is this version of this mantra with strim-shakti bija really used in yoga traditions?

Thank you for coming back to share this Agni Ji. Could you also bless me with permission to chant her mantra and worship her safely (if she is willing)?

Thank you for sharing this Agniji. This is precisely how I feel about Her! Extreme Justice and Extreme Love are inseparable, and both manifestations of Maa Herself. If She is willing, can you share some more about Her? It is very hard to find those who truly Know Her. I’ve been looking everywhere for Her authentic Sahasranam (Tripuraghnaji spoke about it on here in the past), but I can’t seem to find it.
