I am one of the victims of fake guru too,my guru asked me $30k when i was facing a difficult situation and as i did not have the money,he did not help me. Ravi helped me without asking for a single money or fame or praise,Ravi's humility shows his greatness and how blessed we are to know him.Some of these Gurus are even paying for google ads when people are searching for "sri vidya" on google,and he is giving initiation after you pay a large sum of money.There is another famous Guru who is travelling and giving sri vidya to the masses,his sri vidya courses cost more than a thousand dollars and he is even saying that sri vidya will give you everything,will full fill all desires,Sri Vidya as pointed out By Ravi and Tantras is meant for LIBERATION only and not for material gains or satisfying desires.These so called enlightened Gurus are misleading people.Nowadays even The Maha Sri Chakra(yantra)are being sell online like bread,they are advertising that this Yantra will give immense wealth and one guru is even telling to use sri yantra for vastu.We are blessed by Amba and Shiva to know Ravi,he is one of the rare soul who sincerely help others.Rarely in this world,we find Great Masters like him.

What sort of karmas a person should do if he wants to get a peaceful death and a safe journey to the other world.

I am one of the unfortunate victims cheated by one of the fake gurus who took enormous money from me for shodasi mantra. I practiced as per his advise for more than two years. Mantra did not give any effect to me. It only pushed me into trouble. Few months back I read this blog and got the mantra recast by Raviji and I am doing good now. Please do not get cheated by these types of fake gurus.

Thank you for your kind words. The way in which he has posted his comment itself exposes him. I am sure that he does not even know what is śāktapraṇava. Since I have not revealed much about me, he is under the impression that I do not have a Guru. He does not know that I hail from one of the best lineages in śrī vidyā. As you have rightly pointed out, many of these gurus are only after money and in the process of earning money, they lose their focus on those who are initiated by them. Following up with those, who are initiated is very important and according to the progress made,Guru will fine tune them. This is what I do and they are happy and in the process I am also happy about their progress. No money should be paid or received for initiation. After God is not a commodity.

If somebody is not affixing OM before Mahāṣoḍaśī mantra, it is their problem. Even accepting your views for the sake of argument, where is śāktapraṇava at the beginning of Mahāṣoḍaśī. As you known Mahāṣoḍaśī, begins with Lakṣmi bīja śrīṁ and not with śāktapraṇava. Again,no doṣa accrues when OM is prefixed and suffixed to any mantra. You have overlooked the arguments in my article, in favour of placing OM at the beginning by quoting necessary references from Chāndogya Upaniṣad and Kulārṇava Tantra. These Scriptures clearly say that beginning a mantra without OM is a sin. Further, ancient Scriptures like Kubjikātantra, Siddhayāmala clearly say that that Mahāṣoḍaśī mantra is extricated by having praṇava at the beginning. When we recite Lalitā Sahasranāma, what is the need to prefix tritātrī (om - aiṁ - hrīṁ - śrīṁ) before each nāma? Why this is called tritātrī (triad), when there are four bīja-s? By default, Om is excluded and hence only the rest three are taken into account. Even tritātrī is prefixed with OM. The doṣa-s which you have mentioned do not apply to praṇava. It is better not to follow anything blindly.
