Pranam Acharya ji. 1. May I know what is the beej mantra of swarna akarshana bhairava? 2. Could you able to post the japa vidhi of the Beej mantra?

What I have written is the description of the brahmasana If you want to convert it to a pretasana then remove their respective shaktis from this list So the pretasana becomes Indra Brahma Vishnu Rudra Ishwara Sadashiva and Maheshana (Maha Shiva the 25 faced maha kailash pati maha sadashiva) Brahmasana is when the pretas are equipped with their respective shaktis given to them by bhagwati If you want to know why they are known as pretas Then I would suggest you to read tantras on bhagwati There the etymology of the word 'preta' has been discussed and explained If you want I shall post that with some references by the will of bhagwati there are other higher (greater in number) asanas than which include the chaturvyuha, maha vishnu, para shiva and other shivas besides the usual five pretas

hello shree matre thanks for your reply if bhagwathy so ordains then I shall surely post it here. It is not yet the will of bhagwathy to make the shloka available to pashus ( vaishnavas, shaivas) roaming around in the guise of shaktas. You will also be pleased to know in the amnaya of shri devi, all deities have the panch pretasana ( brahma vishnu rudra ishwara sadashiva ) even uma ( wife of maha kailash pati 25 faced maha sadashiva ) & even adi lakshmi ( wife of paraa vaasudeva the highest vishnu ) have the panch pretasana but higher pretasanas such as this one are reserved for shri devi, also this sapt (7) pretasana is described as maheshana with Uma ( maheshana is at the top of the asana He is more commonly known as maha shiva or maha sadashiva the 25 faced deity of maha kailash) situated above sadashiva in the asana forming the top of the structure below Him lying flat is the five headed and ten handed sadashiva with manonmani then the four legs of this structure are the usual brahma vishnu rudra and ishwara with their wives vaani ramaa rudrani(parvati) & mayaa (tirodhana kartri shakti) and then below all of them is indra standing bearing all of these deities with their wives on His head. On top of this magnificent structure is kamakshi parabhattarika there are even higher asanas

Vaṭuka is correct. Baṭuka is a disambiguation that is more prevalent. Similar is the case with Valagāmukhī, popularly known as Bagalāmukhī.

Namaste Krishna, is it Vatuka or Batuka (V or B).

It would be ideal to practice the procedures before starting the mantra japa, but even if these are done once a day, it would be beneficial.

Greetings, I have a question concerning the Bhūtaśuddhi practice, does Bhūtaśuddhi should be done every time one has seated for the mantra or just once in all the day for example in the morning? Another question is, if one has done the process of nyasas, Bhūtaśuddhi, etc... in the morning, one has to do everything of the vidhi every time has a seat for the mantra? For example, if I take asana for japa early in the morning and in the evening, in the evening too should I practice Bhūtaśuddhi, nyasas, etc...?

At the end of this series, what I understand is that mantra dhyana is important for liberation. I do not have a living guru, but I accept Shirdi Sai Baba as my guru. His teachings say that meditation and mantra sadhna is not for all. One, its hard to find a guru to give you mantra deeksha, Second, jam-packed lifestyle makes it hard to take time for sadhna. Third, fulfiling our responsibility is more than enough to get the grace of god/goddess. Like you say, if you take care of parents, family, and work first, that is all that matters. So, Sai Baba understands a human being. Fourth, this world is sooo disturbing. Even if our family is happy, there is a fighting neighbour, social rage, crime against poor/women. Fifth and the most important, even if I try to sleep by 9 and wake up by 4 pm, our family will not support it. Not all in the family are spiritually inclined. My dad and dad-in-law both are aged but never spiritually inclined, so they cannot understand my need. So, I end up waking up so late in the morning that first thing is to take care of the family, then the job and then you are exhausted, then again take care of family. This cycle continues. I dont think I am lucky enough or there is a lot of karmic blockage. I feel all alone. So, I conclude mantra sadhana is not for me. However, I practice lalithasahastranama daily, what a calming beauty it is. Also, I feel guilty that I am not able to read Sai charitra, but I feel I have read it enough and it can't hold on to me anymore. I guess I want to explore more. Yet, I feel guilty because the falashruti says that those who read this book daily will surely reap benefits of health, peace and more. But, sometimes I think if I am getting away from it there must be a greater reason to it. Will Baba be angry that I am not reading his charitra but reading lalitasahastranama?

Please could you tell us the shloka here and it's meaning here . Also the book where this shloka is mentioned?

Namaste. In the main mantra, towards the end, there are names preceded by two mahā, which usually have just one. Mahā mahā Kālī, mahā mahā marī etc. are these more emphatic honorifics for the same shapes of Devi as those with the same name and one mahā, ie Mahā Kālī, Mahā mari (Amman?) etc, or is, for example, Mahā mahā Kālī a more complete and fundamental form of divinity, than Mahā Kālī?
