There is an article about him on this website https://manblunder.com/articlesview/ashwatthama-saptarishi-8th-manvantara

Guruji, is it possible to have a glimpse of the picture of Ashwathama Maharishi.

Ji, it’s possible to share the picture of Ashwatama Maharishi.

One last thing I forgot to say. A little known fact is the recommendation to always worship and ask for blessings from Mahāvārāhī before worshiping Mahāpratyaṅgirā. But why? They are like sisters. By asking for blessings from Mahāvārāhī, the devotee demonstrates that he needs Mahāpratyaṅgirā in a special situation that only she could resolve. It's a kind of warning about who he's dealing with. And what wouldn't Mahāvārāhī solve? The truth is that Mahāvārāhī solves everything, but only a Bhakta of Mahāpratyaṅgirā should, theoretically, worship this very aggressive form of the Divine Mother. The thing is that the Bhakta of Mahāpratyaṅgirā does not worship her because he needs protection or to solve some problem. This devotee simply loves her without an apparent reason. It is difficult to find a true devotee of this Mother.

Aditya shukla. The answer to your question is that Bhaṇḍāsura is Lalitā, the entire enemy army is also Lalitā. But why? Because this war is a game. The person responsible for these absurdities that are difficult to understand is Bālā Tripurasundarī. The moment Bālā ceased to exist, Lalitā would become unwilling to play and would see no point in it, and the entire existence would become ugly and completely destroyed. Then she would close her eyes and nothing would exist. When the devotee advances in the worship of Bālā Tripurasundarī, he discovers that the entire enemy army is also Lalitā. But what happens to the devotee after that? He stops harboring negative emotions towards enemies and the battle with them becomes a sport or fun. He becomes innocent, but not harmless. He views the battle of life as a sport. Lalitā praises Bālā as her own life, and demonstrates a concern for her existence and good. This means that without the innocence of Bālā you will be stopped at some point in the spiritual journey. Lalitā gave a dagger to Bālā with a blade having the destructive power of all deities and the entire Śrīcakra. She gave the dagger to Bālā and said: go and play with this dagger. Since then, wherever Bālā is, all the deities will also be there. The devotee can meditate on Bālā with this dagger with golden and pink luminance as the pendant of her necklace. Whenever anyone tries to take possession of Bālā, this dagger destroys him immediately. Play with Bālā, don't try to possess her. Bālā never holds this dagger in her hands, it is the bad people who are pierced by its blade because of the intention to dominate her. Nothing is more protected than the Game. Bālā is the game. Vārāhī is the Prakāśarūpa of Lalitā. For people's information, Vārāhī is Guhykālī herself and the entire Hādividyā combined. Śyāmalā is the Vimarśarūpa of Lalitā. Śyāmalā is Tārā herself and the entire Sādividyā combined. She acts as Īśvara and her orders are irrevocable. Even Lalitā never questions Śyāmalā's decisions, such is her trust. How would Lalitā doubt her own personified intellect? Who is Mahāgaṇapati? He is the Lord of the Mātṝkā Chakra. What I mean is that he is the guardian of sound, guardian of the word. If Mahāgaṇapati wants to obstruct you, nothing you say at all levels of sound will be effective. With this, you will be completely obstructed in the material world too, as the Universe is the product of the 50 Mātṝkā. Every material object can be converted into sound. Mahāgaṇapati made the letters written in the Evil Yantra placed in the war null and void. Then the Yantra was destroyed.

For now I will not answer any more questions. I will respond when I have more time.

Rajiv. Someone who is initiated into this Mantra should never have this doubt. The Lalitā Sahasranāma is an extension of the 50 Mātṝkās. It is a hymn that employs each of the 50 Mātṝkās in the best possible way to produce the best thousand names possible. It is impossible to create a better Sahasranāma than the Lalitā Sahasranāma. There is only one Sahasranāma who matches her Sahasranāma, but does not surpass it: Śrī Guhyanāmaucchiṣṭagaṇeśāna Sahasranāma. The secret Sahasranāma of Ucchiṣṭamahāgaṇeśa is the only one that is comparable to that of Lalitā. Lord Dakṣiṇāmūrti says that whoever dares to differentiate between these two Sahasranāmas is a sinner, and that Lalitā and Ucchiṣṭamahāgaṇeśa are equal in majesty. The only difference will be in devotion. Those who are chosen by Lalitā must recite the Lalitā Sahasranāma. Those who are chosen by Ucchiṣṭamahāgaṇeśa must recite his Sahasranāma. It is a doubt that it should not exist for someone initiated into such a high Mantra: the Lalitā Sahasranāma is indispensable for the devotees of Ṣoḍaśī.

Keshav. No. Sri Aurobindo, Vallalar, Mirra Alfassa and Thirumoolar are Yogis who have reached these heights. Don't feel inferior because it was the Lord himself who chose them to play this role, even before they were born they were already destined for this. Continue with your Dharma.

Surya Ji, I also want to ask, when initiating into the Mahashodashi mantra, which is preferable to read, Shodashi Sahasranama or Lalita Sahasranama, because with the addition of bija, the Deity herself changes, Sri Lalita has 4 hands, and Mahashodashi has 12 hands.

Yes Surya!!! Many here have said that the Panchadashi mantra is the main one and it contains the whole essence of Sri Vidya, Lalitopakhyana, Tripura rahasya the first part, describes and praises the Panchadashi mantra Kadi Vidya. I would like to ask where other mantras based on the basis of Kadi vidya came from, for example, Laghushodashi (16 bijas) and Mahashodashi (28 bijas)? After all, they couldn't just appear, so there was some kind of need for this?
