It may take some time for anyone of us to respond, as we get a lot of email and have follow-up actions, besides our own commitments to work and family. I will follow up with Dan and let you know.

It is not harmful to read the stotram once in a while to understand what it is all about. But repeating on a regular basis is the same as chanting and an initiation is strongly recommended. There is no need to add more stotras to your list. Instead, you can consider getting initiated to any mantra of Śrī Pratyaṅgirā Devi and practice the same.

It would be the right side of your forehead.

Aim Shri Gurave Namah: Guruji, please help with a dilemma that I have been struggling with for a long time. Which object of concentration in samyama should I give final preference to: sushumna or ajna chakra? They are both similar and at the same time different in effect. In sushumna I experience something like the dissolution of the ego and calmness, in ajna there is clarity and one-pointedness. Perhaps this dilemma is related to samhara and srishti kramas... Which adhara and method is more significant in the spiritual path and is more universal? Through what is it more correct to try to realize atma-gyana?

Hello! Is Dan Irimia still available? I emailed him but he didn't answer and he is the only one of those with experience who speaks my native language. I use google translate because I don't speak English very well and I don't think I can communicate with other masters who make initiations on the site

Hello Guruji-s Ravi and Krishna, could you please bring some light on this ashtakshara Matangi mantra कामिनी रञ्जिनी स्वाहा kāminī rañjinī svāhā? It's famous among people on the internet, but practically there are no mentions in traditional sources, except Meru-tantra, the only one I have found. This mantra found amazingly effective for samyama purpose, but the fragment of sadhana from tantra, that I have tried to translate says that it is sakama or abhichara, for mohana kriya. Can I continue to use it just in spiritual sense or will that be wrong? Devata of mantra noted as Sarvasammohini, and rishi - Sammohana.

Thank you for your reply about the Tara nyasah, I had a question, here it says "east" part of the forehead. Would this be my left, or my right side of the forehead? Thank you so much

Dear Krishnaji, humble pranaams! thank you for replying. There is no question of stopping chanting of the Kavacam. I will most definitely continue that & the Ashttotara Namavali too. Also, if I were to chant "Om Shree Mahapratyangiraye Namaha" 108 times after chanting the Ashttotara Namavali & Kavacham, is it advisable? Also kindly reply on this too - (PS: On your aadesh of not reading Siddhalaxmi Pratyangira Stotram, if I just copy paste the english meaning of the stotram onto a word file and read only the english meaning without even looking at the Sanskrit shlokas, will that be okay?) Please! Like you suggested, I will try the Sadhana as mentioned in that ebook & let you know. Thank you very much for all your suggestions, advice & directions. Ever grateful to you for it!

‘mohe Mohini’ is missing in the Sanskrit version of the 114 lettered mantra.

There are some perceptions amongst experts that these deities can possess the sādhakas or expect some type of bodily pleasures from them. A true sādhaka would not wish to give in to these entities as they will limit the sādhaka's spiritual growth. Dhanada is not considered dangerous but some fear Her also as She is Ratipriya and the very name suggests that She may entice the sādhaka in Her charms, which may mean that She will make that person totally materialistic.
