Namaste sir, thank you for providing the elaborated meaning of the mantras. I found this clip which helps perfecting my pronunciation of the mantras which I think it can be helpful to others. https://youtu.be/Pk9AJcBZjAE?si=YI3eiDX0pu_bPL9e

Namaste Krishna Sir. Referring to the above, in the viniyoga it is saying "aim beejam, shreem shakti, svaahaa keelakam" while in the laghunyasa it says "hreem beejaaya, shreem shaktaye, svahaaa keelakaaya". Should the beeja, shakti and keelaka in the Viniyoga and Laghunyaasa correspond to each other or is it that the article is correct as published? Thank you.

Humble Pranaams Krishnaji, I had a very strange experience recently which doing my Nithya Karma of chanting the mantra given by my Guru. So this popular thought enters my mind that we humans are remnants of Stars that have probably died some billions of years ago. But this thought suddenly transformed into this thought that if we than have consciousness, why can't they? And my attention was drawn to the Sun and I got this feeling that the not only is the Sun conscious, there is billions of years of knowledge and wisdom there. And I remember I prayed to the Sun then and my entire rest of the chanting I felt this 'glow' in my mind. It felt very real then & also the thought that maybe we are limiting ourselves by thinking what Life really means in this Universe and the same could be said for Earth & other planets too. And yet now after days passed, I am not so sure anymore and am questioning myself, was is really true or just my imagination? Posing the same question to you Krishnaji. Please clear my doubts!

I switched the contents of the 2nd and 3rd columns to match the headers. It should display correctly now. Please refresh the webpage. Thank you for letting us know!

The siddha mantras referred in the Devīmahātmyam are very effective mantras and not any type of catalysts. The only constraint is that they may not be effective unless one has practiced the associated Śrī Caṇḍī navakṣarī mantra.

The detailed process of bhūtaśuddhi, mantra snāna etc. are mentioned in the Mantra Mahodadhi. I would recommend that you obtain a copy of the publication (Ram Kumar Rai edition for the English translation) for reference of this process as well as mantra saṃskāras etc. It is important to follow the guru tradition vs what is prescribed in the manuals, as is the usual rule of tantra. Please do confer with your guru and then proceed accordingly. A brief mention of the bhūtaśuddhi is mentioned in the self-initiation article that you can refer on this site and elsewhere.

Thanks a lot, reverent Krishna ji! And are siddha mantras from Devi Mahatmyam chapter 11 ones of some catalistic type?
