Hello sir , I need help with atma mantra initiation and I reached out to the members in the initiation page through email , I did not get any response ,just wanted to check that you still follow the tradition of giving initiation or is there some process that we should stick to before reaching out to the members

Here’s a continuation with all the grahas (planets) matched with their tattvas, potential deities, and notes relevant to spiritual practice paths, especially within the Shakta or Tantric context: --- Sun (Surya) Tattva: Agni / Tejas Deity: Lalita Tripurasundari (as Maha-Tejas), Rajarajeshwari, Kameshwari Notes: Leadership, illumination, clarity; suited for high solar deities, inner radiance practices, Surya Upasana; ego purification, center of authority in Sadhana. --- Moon (Chandra) Tattva: Apas Deity: Tripurasundari, Kamala Notes: Emotional intelligence, beauty, love, and devotion; fits with Srividya and Lakshmi-based paths; enhances rasa and bhakti. --- Mars (Mangala) Tattva: Agni Deity: Tripura Bhairavi, Pratyangira, Durga Notes: Willpower, protection, fierceness; fits Bhairavi sadhana, Kundalini work, or fierce path Shakti worship. --- Mercury (Budha) Tattva: Vayu Deity: Matangi, Tara Notes: Intelligence, speech, mantra shastra; Matangi suits eloquence and Vāk Siddhi; aligns with paths involving sacred sound and mantra precision. --- Jupiter (Guru/Brihaspati) Tattva: Akasha Deity: Bala Tripurasundari, Saraswati Notes: Guru principle, wisdom, expansive knowledge; good for Srividya under a Guru, or learning-centric sadhanas; deep meditation and understanding of tattvas. --- Venus (Shukra) Tattva: Apas Deity: Kamalatmika, Lalita, Bhuvaneshwari Notes: Beauty, refinement, pleasure elevated to bliss (ānanda); suited for refined ritual, devotion, and feminine tantric paths; sacred sexuality if done appropriately. --- Saturn (Shani) Tattva: Prithvi Deity: Annapurna, Bagalamukhi, Dhumavati Notes: Discipline, endurance, karma; aligns with silence, withdrawal, tapas; Bagalamukhi sadhana for speech control; Dhumavati for transcending desire. --- Rahu Tattva: Vayu / Akasha (mixed, chaya graha) Deity: Chhinnamasta, Pratyangira, Kali Notes: Obsession, illusion, transcendence of ego; fits with radical or transformative Shakti paths, sudden Kundalini awakening; Chhinnamasta for cutting attachments. --- Ketu Tattva: Agni / Akasha (moksha-oriented) Deity: Kali, Nirguna Parashakti, Dhumavati Notes: Detachment, moksha, renunciation; suitable for Nirguna or Vedantic Shakta practices; mystical insight, introverted sadhana, withdrawal from world.

Well if the husband is like Lord Rudra or Shiva whatever you like to call him, or like Lord Vishnu, then I think you know the answer. Otherwise wait for someone else to answer, I can't answer for now, but maybe your sadhana already gave you the answer it has been a few years since you asked.

Hi again. Thank you for doing this check I really appreciate it. Per my very little understanding of one tradition,because of the retrograde motion, Rahu and ketu are calculated here by subtracting 360 degrees. I am not sure if that is genuinely the way to do it or not, and I am finding astrologers split 50/50. The recent mystics who have initiated me have said Rahu, but as a child I recall being told I had Chandra atmakaraka by a pretty talented reader and astrologer, A. N. K. Swami. Man I am still confused haha

Nmaskaarams, Where do we get paathrasaadhanam shalaka and dharvi. Please advice. Thanks

Dear Jothi Agaval, I would like to thank you for such beautiful description of Mā Dhoomāvatī. Can you elaborate more on that beautiful Mahāmantra of Mā Dhoomāvatī please? I have personal experience with Mā Dhoomāvatī in extremely difficult and dangerous, life threatening situations. She saved my life instantly and from there on I always remember Her always before any Sadhana, any practice with tremendous level of bliss and total inner and outer silence. Would it be possible to even share the mantra jaap procedure for this tremendous Mahamantra with us? Thank you!

Hi Nesh, I’m not a jyotish expert, but I tried multiple softwares and it seems like your Rahu and Ketu have low degrees, so I don’t think it matters if you include them for this or not.

On a direct and simplistic level I take it to represent that she can take any animal whatsoever as her vahana, and that the numerosity represents totality. I sometimes imagine the destiny-working of Devi through this animal mediumship. A deer runs in the road, a car swerves and crashes. A fruit is offered to a bird, the bird eats the fruit and passes a seed somewhere else, where a tree grows, forty years later someone’s descendant eats from that tree, the extra weight of that one meal is in them as they traverse a rocky edge and it makes the difference between them losing their footing and toppling over a cliff, or having the weight to stay rooted: and thus the bird and the seed determines that descendant’s outcome. It is hard to conceive of cause and effect as witnessed by a self-awareness that experiences itself as an ongoing enterprise over yugas, for whom a human lifespan seems almost without notice; much less how it appears to one that can hold the interplay between present, past and future all in immediate and cohesive apprehension.

There are no plans at this time.

You can refer to Mantra Mahodadhi. There is a brief mention of it. The same information is on our website too in a separate article. Please look in the mantras category and/or do a google search on our website to find the correct link.
