In mahakaal sanhita,the guhyakali khand says about 18 bheda of guhyakali mantra. Brahma,vasishtha,ram,kuber,yam,bharat,ravan,baali,vaasav,vishnu and other dev and danava has been said to have worshipped her. She has many forms ranging from one headed to three, five, ten, twenty, thirty, thirty six, sixty, eighty, hundred headed etc. Among it the main mantra and form that lord rama and bharat worshipped was of ten headed devi having 54 hands and it was the Sodakshari mantra. Continuing from ravi ji mantra on guhya kali Her different mantra are as follows:नवाक्षर1. क्रीं गुह्ये कालिके क्रीँ स्वाहा2. क्रीं गुह्य कालिके क्रीँ स्वाहादशाक्षर1. क्रीं दक्षिणे कालिके क्रीँ स्वाहाचतुर्दशाक्षर1.क्रौँ हूं ह्रीँ गुह्ये कालिके हूं हूं ह्रीँ ह्रीँ स्वाहाThe third mantra of guhya kali by ravi ji is of ten headed guhya kali(from vishvasaar tantra) worshipped by ram and bharat hence its also called ram and bhartopasita vidya. And in tantrasaar in place of kreem, kleem is used. Kleem and kreem both are called kaam bija hence either kreem or kleem can be used. And i think in the third mantra it should be गुह्ये instead of गुह्य. Dhyan mantra of this ten headed vidya is:ध्यायेन्नीलोत्पल श्यामामिन्द्र नील समद्युतिमृ। धनाधनतनु द्योतां स्न्निग्ध दूर्वादलद्युतिमृ।। ज्ञानरश्मिच्छटा टोप ज्योतिमण्डल मध्यगामृ। दशवक्त्रां गुह्यकालीँ सप्तविँशति लोचनाम् ।।अष्टदशाक्षर1. ह्रीँ क्रीँ फ्रेँ हूं क्रों गुह्यकालि क्रीँ छ्रीँ हृस्ख्फ्रे फ्रोँ छ्रीँ क्रीँ स्वाहा।Apart from these there are other mantra of guhya kali. And Thanks to ravi ji for using all possible means at his disposal to clarify the doubts of the spiritual seekers out here and I being one of them. Take care.

In fact there is a slight difference between samanyargha mandala and visesharghya mandala. In visesharghya mandala, in bindu tureeya swaram i.e. eem should be written. This is because in this mandala we worship Maha Lakshmi, Maha Saraswati (sudha devi) and Maha Tripurasundari. All three put together called ichha, jnana and kriya shaktis. This is important in visesharghya mandala.

Namaste Ravi jiWith reference to version 5 of matangi mantra i want to say that it is of jyeshtha matangi or Uchhista chandalini. If we exclude om its a 19 letter mantra and if we add हूं(hoom) to this 19 lettered mantra another mantra of jyeshtha matangi is formed. As per the texts i have it is said that according to tantrasaar,tantradeepani and mantra devprakashini there is no need to perform any nyasa and can be chanted at anytime,no need to consider auspicious tithi or nakshatra and no strict rules are laid in her sadhana as jyeshtha matangi. And it is said that it has to be chanted after having food but without rinsing the mouth and its said that she is offered leftover food as she's the uchhistha chandalini form. Being a siddha vidya purashcharan is not needed and no written documentation is there about how much it is to be chanted(as per the books i have) but 18000 or 1008 times it should be chanted with a pure and concentrated mind and homa should be done. Her dhyan mantra is same as of sumukhi matangi:Shavopari samaasinaam raktambar parichhadaam. Raktalankaar sanyuktaam gunjaahaar vibhusitaam. Sodshaabda ch yuvatim pinonnat payodharaam. Kapaal kartrika hastaam parjyotih swaroopinim.The symbolism of this form is esoteric and deep and the sadhak should understand what this form wants to convey on a deeper spiritual level and then should proceed with the sadhana,as should be the case with every worship.

This a complicated question to answer without ambiguity. We depend upon purāṇa-s to come to certain conclusions. On the contrary, Upaniṣad-s say that everything is Brahman. Where to draw the line is based on one's personal spiritual evolution. When we go with purāṇa-s, karmic theory becomes questionable. So, the final decision is made only by our mind.

How to draw mandalas here? "Kalpa Sutra" follows like this."Samanyorghodakena bindu, trikona.....matya mudraya vilikhya"Meaning:Use samanyargham to draw lines of mandala. These lines are to be drawn with samanyargham with matya mudra.This sutra is for all mandalas. This is one of the use of samanyargham. After drawing mandalas like this, one can apply sandal, kumkum etc.. There are different traditions on placement of patras. I am not disclosing all of them here.

Tattva mudra means only using left hand. While filling viśeṣa arghya only alphabets with bindu should be recited. This point I have now corrected in the article. aṁ namaḥ hamsaḥ, etc should be used only in nyāsa-s and not here.

1) After mandala worship, clean visesharghya adhara with the samanyargha by reciting following mantra.4 aiṁ hraḥ astrāya phaṭ | 2) Before consecrating visesharghya patra, clean patra with the samanyargha by reciting following mantra.4 aiṁ hraḥ astrāya phaṭ | 3) 20.4) Suddhi saṁskāraḥThis is also known as kaarana kalasam. On the mandala drawn as prescribed, keep this kaarana kalasam on the mandala.Which vessel is to be used here? A three eyed coconut shell is to be used here. This shell is a symbol of trinetra i.e. lord shiva. This is the reason why we worship this kalasa with panchanga nyasa of mahanyasa.In some traditions instead of tree eyed coconut shell, human skull will be used. 4) 20.5) while filling amrita in visesharghya patra, matrikas to be recite with bindu and hamsah at end. For example, am namh hamsah, aam namah hamsah ....... 5) It is better to hold ginger with right hand tatwa mudra instead of left hand tattwa mudra. First method is better of dakshinacharas and second method is better for vamacharis. 6) 4 sauḥ soma maṇḍalāya kāmapradha ṣoḍaśa kalātmane śrī mahātripursundaryāḥ viśeṣa argya amṛtāya namaḥ |After sauh sa ka la hreem is missed in English version. However, in Sanskrit version it is available.Sodasi upasakas have to do entire puja with shat kuta sodasi mantra

Yes, Sir. What you said is correct. It is very difficult to get correct right handed conch. As we say in mantra "yadha shakti, yadha sambhavadravyai", available right handed conch may be used. This will give some picture in mind about right handed conch (bhava). Better to select the best among the availabale. This is my personal opinion only.
