Dear Raman, my friend, thanks for sharing the excerpt from Om Swami's book. I remember reading it when it was released some years ago. I believe this excerpt, if not misunderstood and misapplied by sadhakas, shall certainly help them. Now, I believe that the life history of Om Swami himself is equally, if not more, important to the topic. He had a horrendous time with his guru, his first one in Varanasi. He achieved nothing. He almost died. I remember feeling quite moved. And I was distressed to see just how deep the rot has gone into the vitals of Hinduism. And I remember thinking, ok, that's par for course in Kalu Yuga, but this Om Swami chap sure is naive, and if he doesn't change his views and path, he'd never succeed. Turns out, while he was too straight for his own good, he had the good sense to steer clear of danger and abandon a profitless path. He had fire in him, that great power of single minded persistence. He went ahead and attained success in his sadhana. I believe his own experiences should be a case study for all sadhakas today.

Dear Vipul, thanks for your help. I believe your assessment of Kashmir Saivism is correct. The upaya architecture bears this out. The system design is such. You have the veera bhava in you, my friend. Nurture it and ascend to great heights. God bless you.

I am confused about can we rely on digital devices to tell the right time for this stotram. Because the original post by Tivra ji, it mentions that solar noon changes and something about midnight, I have zero clues about this. Any help that's effective and practical would be really appreciated. Jai Shree krishna

Is this the link which we have to use to change our financial issues like debt, loan, etc. https://stotranidhi.com/hi/sri-tripura-bhairavi-ashtottara-shatanamavali-in-sanskrit/. I have already begun by using the link above but it went to 'shatnama stotram in sanskrit' page, so I changed it while I could. Is initiation required or can we just use this mantra with our power of concentration.

For example, the Midnight Sandhyā lasts 72 minutes (36 minutes before and after Midnight; the same applies to the Noon Sandhyā, but the Dawn and Dusk Sandhyās have their own rules for beginning and ending: 48|24 Sunrise, 24|48 Sunset) The above quote is from a valuable comment by Tivra ji. I don't know how useful it is, but can anyone who understands the context well tell me how to calculate the right timings for these Sandhya periods. I hope it's not answered already, I just want a clear answer because the original post by Tivra ji didn't help me understand the exact timing. How will this calculation be different in different time zones. I'd like everyone to do it right now matter the time zone. Thanks to Krishna, the admin and Lord Krishna.

Dear Vipul, thank you so much for answering this, if possible can you ask your astrologer friend to share the Vidhi and some more insights? does the devi talk to you?, or is it only a way to improve intuition?, I did know about the past and future part, but does it work on an individual scale only, or will it work on a grander scale?, and is it only limited to humans, or can we use it to know about animals as well, if you could please shed some more light, it would be very helpful , and yes, I'm practicing astrology, but not earning from it as of now, I want to get better at it for sure, Thank you, Jai Maa.

Namaste Sadhak. My friend who taught me astrology as well as highly experienced in mantra sadhanas and tantra, he did once recommend me to do this sadhana, but only if I want to be a professional astrologer, which I don't plan on becoming so i didn't do it ever. Power shouldn't be something to be scared of, it's not going to give you new ego or new negative traits, but it might just bring out the ones already inside you. This devi gives knowledge of all forms of time, but I personally don't think it will be of much value unless you are going to actively use it, which you can do with professional astrology or some healing kind of work. One person I know of, just does naam jap of panchanguli devi and she gives great predictions and claims she receives it directly through intuition. Also, my friend told that it kind of protects you from all the negativity, and negative karmas in case you are involved in jyotish and healing kind of work. One positive way it can help you is that, you will be able to understand karma in a much better way and hence will yourself be more careful about it and will know what best to do or how things we do change or not and things like that. Btw, it is my personal opinion that in spirituality, only moksha being the goal shouldn't be held by all. You can also explore more here. After all, you are shiva who limited yourself as an individual being so to experience things. Jay maa.

Yes sir, it's the same mantra. There is very slight change in the one from vedas. Otherwise it's same. That's the one Swami Lakshmanjoo told John Hughes to spread in the world. Also, Shiv Sutras gave a good view of it's own meaning of mantra. One more point I want to add is that, Swami Lakshmanjoo recorded enough of his lectures on various topics and important points of Kashmir Shaivism. Now, KS itself is generally in essence about maintaining awareness all the time. Also, as Indian Philosophies are to be lived, and not just read, one who just applies these teachings actively, and sincerely will surely be worthy enough to take up any mantra from shastras and be able to do sadhana of it without much issue. That is my view.
