Pranam Sir, can you please clarify in which direction the head of the yantra should be placed? i read about the yantra directions and geographic directions are different. So, should the yantra be placed in such a way so that 6,11,19 (in the yantra above) is facing away from us and 5,7,15 face toward us? Then of course, while doing the pooja, East in yantra would be where my geographic south is? Or in other words. does the head of the yantra always need to be facing geographic east? Or should the head of the yantra face the actual geographic south direction?

Is the dasha mahavidya Matangi a fully distinctive goddess from Mantrini/ Raja Shymala, or is she something like an involution or incarnation for this universe of Lalitā’s chief minister? Is this mahavidya in tantra specifically the one adored as Ucchistha Matangi?

I am a beginner. I just got initiated 15 days back. I am chanting bala navaksari Mantra. Not been able to sit and meditate continuously for an hour. So, I sit for mediation 30 minutes in the morning and night after work. Even during these 30 minutes my mind will be revolving around my work, kids , personal life and many other things - But recent past this as reduced. Anyone in the name direction can you guide me on how you people are able to concentrate. I was asto to read about meditation for continuous 8 years - that is just awesome. Also, I want to know how do we bring mediaition towards ajna chakra.

Most sādhanas take an excruciating amount of time to yield. This is also one of the reasons to practice under the guidance of an able guru and it is also very important to start with simple sādhanas. If the simple ones don't yield, the more powerful and complex ones granting our wishes is farfetched. Practice graha sādhanas, especially the Purāṇic mantras and stay there till you experience tangible benefits. Keep in mind that fighting karma is not easy and takes a lot of patience and practice. Have faith and practice under a guru whom you can meet in person and learn from. There is no substitute to learning in person with the guidance from a living guru.

Variations may exist in different texts. I would suggest looking up Nityotsava, Nityaṣoḍaśikārṇava, Śrīvidyārṇavatantram etc. There are many books published on Śrīvidyā that you may refer to.

They should be practiced by initiates. You can safely practice Purāṇic mantras of any deity. They are meant for general welfare and for all.
