I will signal my concerns on behalf of Guruji’s legacy. The diluted kabbalah practices rendered by Tivra are misleading and badly represented. False knowledge should not be encouraged. Truly, an individual should be able to discern these things for themselves, but it seems that you and surely many other readers are willing to baselessly entertain this system’s validity, disrespecting a website dedicated to a fruitful Shri Vidya lineage. Of course, feel free to go ahead if you’re on Reddit! The information is even more problematic when it comes from a commenter who seems to be respected and not without his fans, because it confers a dangerous sense of legitimacy. Grace of senior beings is an absolute necessity for siddhi, as implied in Jayanth’s articles. Tivra’s comments on the essential guidelines in this article sow confusion and divide and falsely promise burning of karmas in a way that is very damaging for the undiscerning members of the community. Lord Dattatreya tells us to respect all paths, but that also implies the necessity to take a stand against dilution and false teachings, and from you and others I see only encouragement. Kabbala is not without its merits and its core texts overlap almost perfectly with tantrik science, but the way in which Tivra presents it is completely irresponsible and dangerous. Siddhi, again, comes as a result of grace. And we must always be skeptical of would-be gurus who publicly disseminate allegedly miraculous methods of attainment. From my experience, persistence with Shri Vidya has opened sufficient doors for sustenance. It depends on the individual if these are opened wastefully or not.

*** Removing personal references and distasteful comments. Rest of the comment is reproduced as is.*** -- Krishna.  There are many ways to self-realization, that is true and it has been independently asserted by multiple sources. However, questioning the process of another tantrik like Kuru, of whose capabilities you truly have no idea about, is speaking wastefully and is infuriating to all who know him. Your assertions about the kundalini of other practitioners have absolutely no basis. Before you do that, and before promoting this practice or that practice, consider applying the teaching of integrated sadhana methods – one of which you can find even in Kabbala. It is much more important than this fruitless attempt at Bhakti yoga of declaratively loving everything while suppresing your discernment, willingly or not.

Is it possible to significantly embody one’s ishta without losing so much individuality that it becomes undoable in this birth, to ascend all the way up to 17b and back down to 13 levels of consciousness? Something like having the ishta really permeating the subtle energetic system, physical body, and sitting at every cakra, while maintaining the right conditions to proceed to the highest levels of unique antaratman merger with cidagni and svatantrya? I am specifically curious if it is possible for a soul with cidagni to bring a manifestation of their ishta to the highest supremamental realms, and to share the embrace of the supreme in such a way that the Ishta also receives it and perhaps some very esoteric and brilliant things happen to the paired deity as well? For example, could a person with Bhuvaneshwari sitting in their Ajna cakra and fully awakened in them, proceed somehow all the way up to 17b with her awake in them, and through this process open some door to exceptional evolution even for an indomitably great manifestation of Parāsaktī like a mahavidya? Could the ishta devata find the highest attainment for themselves in the Leela of certain souls they linked to from their earliest differentiation?

Am I understanding correctly Tivra? : nirvana sundari is the original child of Arul Sakti and Arut Perum Jothi, yes? Ie, she is just like her parents in the supernal primordial sky, before descending as myriad cidatman into creation, and acquiring the souls/antaratman that can evolve while preserving individualities through and on from merging with Nirvana Sundari / Cidagni? (when cognized from the incomprehensibly limited frame of reference that goes with perceiving in illusorily linear time)

Dearest Tivra, thank you for looking out for the welfare of everyone. I bow reverently to your kindness and benevolence. I am experiencing quite a jolt of energy simply looking at the seal you have provided and am very thankful for it. Please feel free to share any information that you see fit to help sincere seekers in their life's journey, be it material or spiritual or a mix of both. Please know that there is a slient majority who adore you for the depth of knowledge that you share with everyone and may the blessings of the Divine Mother be upon you forever! Lastly, I would like to sincerely request from you to please share with us, the procedure of worshipping the combination of the 28 lettered mantra that is the fusion of the Kādi Pañcadaśī Mantra with Hādi Turīyāmbā. If the Viniyoga, nyāsas, dhyānas etc. are available, please share if the Divine Mother allows. As previously ordained by you, I will publish the Hādi Turīyāmbā and Mahā Tripura Bhairavī mantras very soon. Once again, I thank you from the bottom of my heart and sincerely pray for your continued guidance to all sincere seekers for a long time to come!

I agree with Ashwin's and Kuru's viewpoint . There is no doubt that all of us here have drawn inspiration and gained thought provoking insights from Mr. Tivra's comments. But the thing needed here, in this situation is more clarity from Tivra's side . He has mentioned that Sree Vidya won't work 99% in this flawed universe and Kabbalah is the suited path here on Earth . If that's the case , how did people gain self realization(the highest goal of a human life )through Sree vidya here, in this plane ? There are innumerable instances where men have realised their true -self using Sree Vidya on Earth . Also there are many mentions in many scriptures where it's praised for providing Bhoga and Moksha to practitioners . I am not against receiving details on new paths ,but comments on a sree vidya based circle , that has elevated the lives of many that it doesn't work properly is hard to digest . Anybody can choose any path of their liking , but many sree vidya practitioners who progress with the help of contents of this website will be disappointed in reading comments like these and many beginners will feel like dropping this path halfway. What i believe is that for material gains we should work hard and do not rely entirely on some yantra or chants, even if it's from Kabbalah or Srividya. One needs to work hard and practice yantra or mantras parallely. And what i believe is that even if any Sree Vidya mantra is locked , Guru's grace can override it and provide both material/ spiritual benefits given one practices sincerely and do his/her duties in the material plane .If this wasn't the case , nobody will be practicing Srividya and there won't have been any Guru paramparas on Earth, started by Shiva . I request Tivra's viewpoints on these facts and further details on Kabbalah if it's truly beneficial and easier than Srividya and has the capacity to help all of us in a speedily manner

I have nothing productive to say.

Well, Prince, Śrīvidyā is also world-divinizing, and about 'seeing the divine' immanent in all beings, from worms, to the best of men. To say that the goal is only to 'transcend' is wrong, as such. Even 'transcendence' as described is to reach the other shore, not jump out the boat halfway through. My goal with citing the works of the Ācāryas was to show that these new systems are far-removed from the traditions, and the only semblance they share are in superficial details, like names and mantras. We also see how it contradicts itself, and how can what contradicts itself be true?
