Have you read this article https://www.kamakotimandali.com/2021/03/28/musings-on-para%E1%B9%A3o%E1%B8%8Dasi/ Are you saying MahaSodashi is same as ParaSodashi or ParaSodashi is Lakshmi/MahaLakshmi and GuhyaKali is Saraswati/MahaSaraswati. There seems to be so many views looks like.

Krishnaji is this the right mantra or the one above posted in the article? Thank you

In Pratayanghira yantra you have mentioned the directions of devas and Sri puja as opposite to each other. Can you explain more.

Dear Swati. I will tell you the 46 secret names of Durgā. When you feel in danger or hopeless, or when you wish to save someone's life, you must remember the warrior Mother Durgā in your heart and fearlessly dedicate these names to her. Remember these 46 names are fierce and have the potency of complete Guhyakali Sahasranama. Dedicate these names with respect when things get out of hand in your life: caṇḍayogeśvarī caṇḍī caṇḍakāpālinī śivā ॥ 1 ॥ cāmuṇḍā caṇḍikā siddhikarālī muṇḍamālinī । kālacakreśvarī pheruhastā ghorāṭṭahāsinī ॥ 2 ॥ ḍāmarī carcikā siddhivikarālī bhagapriyā । ulkāmukhī ṛkṣakarṇī balapramathinī parā ॥ 3 ॥ mahāmāyā yoganidrā trailokyajananīśvarī । kātyāyanī ghorarūpā jayantī sarvamaṅgalā ॥ 4 ॥ kāmāturā madonmattā devadevīvarapradā । mātaṅgī kubjikā raudrī rudrāṇī jagadambikā ॥ 5 ॥ cidānandamayī medhā brahmarūpā jaganmayī । sam̐hāriṇī vedamātā siddhidātrī balāhakā ॥ 6 ॥ vāruṇī jagatāmādyā kalātītā cidātmikā ।

Namaste Sir! Please tell us how can we please Lord Shiva on MahaShivratri. Thank you!

First I will explain to you in a simple way what "Dharma" and "Satya" truly mean. I will explain it in the words of Śrī Atharvaṇa Bhadrakālī Pratyaṅgirā herself: "I do not wish to cause unnecessary pain to anyone. I wish to do good and contribute to the evolution of all mankind, but if anyone insists on causing unnecessary harm through thoughts, words or deeds, I will take them to the abode of Yama (God of Death) in hell." Whenever the Divine Mother uses destructive force against her own children, she wants that child to fall first in order to reach higher heights in the future. Destruction in the eyes of the Divine Mother means "Purification". Thus, "Satya" means the ultimate truth that all beings are part of your own soul. You must never forget this. "Dharma" means working with your own evolution and that of all beings that cross your path in life, even if it means using destructive force against them for their own good or that of others. When you apply a destructive force to a being correctly, that being will fall by a certain degree to reach greater heights in the future. The union of "Satya" and "Dharma" results in "Jīvā Karuṇai" which means divine compassion, which is the main quality of God. It is intelligent compassion.

Now I will tell you about the worship of Bala Tripurasundari inside or outside the Shri Vidya system. When you approach Bala Tripurasundari within the Shri Vidya system, you want to worship her only temporarily, as your ultimate goal is to worship only Lalita Tripurasundari. In that case, you ask Bala Tripurasundari to help you get closer to Lalita. If you approach Bala that way, she won't show you everything she's capable of. She will only bring you closer to Lalita. But if you approach Bala Tripurasundari alone and outside the Shri Vidya system, then it will be totally different. If you tell her that she is your only Mother and that you are putting your life in her hands, then she will show you what she is capable of. How to adore her? The simplest and most sincere way is to recite her Mantra and Sahasranama to the best of your abilities and availability. Each day take a name from her Sahasranama and meditate on its meaning. Then you will begin to discover every day and in every name what she is capable of doing. People should be more afraid of a devotee of Bala Tripurasundari than of Lalita Tripurasundari, because doing harm to a child will attract the double rage of Lalita's entire army.

Namaste. The term "rāja mātaṅgīśvari me" should never be used, because she is already the presiding deity of the Mantra. She is already present. When the devotee is trying to master the Mantra and achieve complete union with Raja Śyāmala, he uses "trailokyaṃ me", asserting her secret omnipresence in all deities and mantras. At this stage, the devotee is also subtly infusing his presence into all deities and mantras. When the union becomes complete, then he can move through whatever he wants.

Thank you for your answer. Can you please tell us what it means to worship as part of the system? What is the right way to worship? Can you please tell me what Dharma and Satya mean? These are very broad concepts and everyone interprets them differently. In one case, Dharma can be like Adharma, and Adharma can be like Dharma. Satya is Absolute Truth, but what does it mean more specifically? Thank you.

Namaste Santosh. This Mantra of Śrī Rāja Śyāmalā has many secrets. I will use Lalitā as an example. If a devotee of Śyāmalā wants to directly become the form of Lalitā, he should replace the word "trailokyam me" with "śrīrājarājeśvarī me". By doing this, the devotee who has mastered the Mantra of Śyāmalā will undoubtedly become the form of Lalitā. Another example. If the devotee replaces the word "trailokyam me" with "śrīcaitanyabhairavī me", he will become the form of Caitanya Bhairavi. When the devotee does this, he fully understands whatever deity he desires because he will indeed become the deity he chooses to be. The devotee attains the power to do this when he attains complete union with Śyāmalā. A union so strong that he easily starts reciting Mantras at supernatural speed. He attains complete union with Śyāmalā, after great effort and devotion. After this union, the devotee receives the royal symbol of Śyāmalā and the title "Mudriṇī". He receives the power to become the Goddess or God he desires through the strength of this Mantra. He gains knowledge of the deity he desires and automatically becomes whichever deity he chooses. Mudriṇī here means the ability to move freely through the Worlds, Mantras, Deities and Sounds. Just as the Siddha alters the circuitry of the body through Mudras, the devotee alters the circuitry of the universe to become the Goddess or God he desires or achieve whatever goal he desires. He moves through the circuits of the universe in this way. This is an advanced stage reached by devotees who have chosen to dedicate themselves only to Śrī Rāja Śyāmalā. Usually people approach Śyāmalā only temporarily to get closer to Lalitā. But when a devotee commits himself to worshiping only Śyāmalā during his lifetime, he receives these advanced powers. I know this sounds very incredible but that's why she is called "Pradhaneshi" or "the most important one".
