When Paramcharya is your God and Guru, surely he will protect you. You can without any hesitation recite Śrī Vidyā Gaṇapati Vāñcha kalpalatā mantra. But it is better you are initiated into at least Bālā mantra. The best option to you is to get this mantra from Kanchi mutt. In case this is not possible, please send a mail to me at ravi@manblunder.com.

Māyā can be removed only through knowledge. We can attain perfect knowledge only through a purified mind. As long as we are attracted to the material world,mind will continue to get afflicted. That is why I have taken up Brahma Sūtra for discussion. Every commentary on Brahma Sūtra is highly complicated and I am trying my level best to simplify and publish them, as I understand these aphorisms. There is no point in reading a scholarly article without understanding it.

sir this is the first time Iam reading your blog and it is brilliant .As a woman I would like to know if we can practice all this. I have no guru but to me my God Guru everything is Paramacharya. Every step I take I feel is guided by Him even reading your blog. Sir I would like you to give me mantras for spiritual benefits.I would also like to know if I can recite the Vancha Kalpalata mantra not for material benefits but for a huge problem or rather a hurdle we are facing from a property of ours.Lot of people have told me about Vancha ganapathy homam to solve this problem but when I read your blog I do want to say the mantras my self first and then be guided by Divine providence . Please do guide me thank you sir

Ravi, how do we remove the "Veil of Maya"? - integrate speech into mind- mind into intellect- intellect into soul - soul into the Brahman Meditation??

The answer would be both yes and no. Typically speaking there is no difference between Brahman and soul; both are same. If you read Brahma Sutra, you will understand. I will explain this in more detail in today's article, which will be posted during course of this day.

Ravi, thank you for making this so clear: The fact is within the soul Brahman resides. There is a cave in the centre of our heart chakra. Inside this cave there is soul. Inside this soul there is Brahman.

Ravi, this makes sense now to me as to why I was so much into Shiva then move on to Shakthi when all I want to do is go back to Shiva.

Mahiṣamardinī is correct. Mahiṣa is the name of a demon and mardin means destroyer. Because Mahiṣa was killed by Her, She is known as Mahiṣamardinī. Asura means demon. When it is Mahiṣāsuramardinī it means Mahiṣa + asura + mardinī or destroyer of demon by name Mahiṣa. Asura is only to indicate that he is a demon.
