dear nashmkm, since you ask me directly on Siddha Kuñjika stotram, i must tell you that in my Parampara it is clearly stated that this stotram is an anga of Durga Herself, and practicing it without other angas and Saptashati itself is not good. Still, there are cases of direct Guru's approval of practicing the stotra and mantra only, or even the mantra only; this all depends on the Goddess' Will provided through Her medium. Feel the sense of it: it is all about your own relations with the Goddess and about who gives you the Knowledge. It is a magic mystery that you may feel, it is your intellect that chooses the best you can afford, and it is your effort to follow the upadesha of the one you accepted as your true Teacher. i remember there was a story about a man who appealed to Drona to study archery, but Drona refused; that man made a murti of Drona and learned archery under subtle guidance of Drona through the murti, and learned till mastery. Still, when this guy met Drona another time, Drona said he must pay him for teaching: he asked him to give one of his fingers. So he could not use his siddhi... it is all you need to know about Guru-tattwa. Guru is all; take the impulse from the Guru who gives it to you, and let Devi-Guru-Sadhana be the only true core of your life; by the way, this is the only Purity i have ever heard about. With love

Some similarities exist but the closest comparison of Śrī Bagalāmukhī/Valagāmukhī is with Śrī Vārāhī. In some ways Śrī Bagalāmukhī is different when we add Her Aṅgas - Jvālāmukhī etc. She is an extremely potent weapon and is better left alone unless we have a target that we wish to annihilate. If there is no target, then we ourselves become the target.

They are the same and come with the dīksha of Mahāṣoḍaśī. There are higher dīkshas such as Medha that include the other Mahāvidyās and Nirvāṇa that leads to Mahānirvāṇa Ṣoḍaśī. Revered Tivra has already given us all the instructions associated with these higher vidyas and those who have mastered Ṣoḍaśī and have an interest to pursue further, may do so with the Pūrṇadīkṣa coupled with the careful assessment of the instructions provided by Tivra.

dear nashmkm, thank you for your interest; all i know about the matters you ask me about is here on Manblunder; i just do my sadhana everyday for many many years and hope i will do it eternally as i just love my Goddess and Guru)) my Swaguru gave me his great shaktipat and allowed me to come through severe ordeals, and now i've got some knowledge on Guru-tattwa and some Devi anugraham; still i am really not a capable Teacher, i am the loving Pupil)) and i pray Mother that all the seekers of Divine here recognize who real Gurus here are, and follow their kind will directly... om tat sat. The only thing to add is a brief explanation of Khadgamala's action, from Sri Amritananda natha Saraswati: Meditate on names and forms of Avarana (covering) Devis as you go inwards to get the following. Layers of coverings in Sri Chakra: 1. Square- 10 siddhis, 8 passions, 10 gestures. Use them to enjoy astral powers. 2. Lotus of 16 petals. Time is divided into 16 lunar days, each day bringing a special dream gift. 3. Lotus of 8 petals. Let go of inhibitions. Offer fruits of all your actions to Goddess. 4. Star of 14. Powers ruling the worlds place their riches at your feet. 5. Outer star of 10. These airy spirits blow away poverty. 6. Inner star of 10. They defend you from enemies. 7. Star of 8. They eliminate diseases. 8. Triangle. They teach secrets of controlling lust, enhancing wisdom and manifesting visions. 9. Circle or point. Take you to unending powers beyond mind. Merge with infinite peace, bliss and light of union with Shiva-Shakti.

Namaste Prince, Thanks for sharing this! Can you please tell me from where you've referenced this? Or is it something passed in your Guru Parampara? Thanks, Bam.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RLb7hRGtxP1H0wPpPypnHQb1drMnAUF4MAn1rIHmIiQ/edit?usp=sharing I have drawn the chakra of Bharatopasita Guhyakali, with a list here. The total deities in this chakra is numbered 179. At the bindu, the bindu evolves to a polygon with 10 sides, with 10 emanations of Guhyakali visualised at the same time. Beyond the mahabindu, The 180th deity is Sahasaramukhi Guhyakali as meditated by Svachchanda Bhairava. thank you.

Namaste Krishna ji, I have also heard about Purņa dīksha in ŚriVidya. Is there any difference in Purņa Diksha and Purnabhishek Diksha? Thanks, Bam

This Mother resembles Bagalāmukhī a lot to me. If there is any under the umbrella of Bagalāmukhī forms in Lalitopakhyana, I hazard she is it. May I ask your thoughts on this, Krishna? Of course there is the syncretism of Dandanathā / Vārahī with Bagalāmukhī, but that has always felt inauthentic to me on some levels.
