Namaste Jayanth, Sen, Aditya and Chandana. it is true, but in Kāliyuga the Puraścaraṇa of Pañcadaśī is 144 lakhs (fourteen million four hundred thousand repetitions). I know the number is high, but this is the most powerful Mantra of the six Āmnāyas. Homa, Tarpaṇa and Bhojana should be performed in the ratio 1/10 (Mārjana is not necessary if you worship Śrīcakra three times a day). If some Aṅga of Puraścaraṇa cannot be performed, you should perform twice that amount in Japa. Upon gaining mastery of the Mantra, Lalitāmbikā will reveal herself with great happiness in the devotee. Now listen carefully to the benefits of continuing Japa, after gaining mastery over the Mantra: he can control all human beings (4 lakhs); he can fascinate all women (8 lakhs); he can fascinate all beings (12 lakhs); all the Śaktis of the Pātāla Loka will be madly in love with him (20 lakhs); all the Śaktis of Earth or Bhūloka will be totally in love with him (24 lakhs); all the Śaktis of the Superior Planes or Svarga Loka will suffer due to their intense love for him; all incarnations of the Devas will fall in love with him (32 lakhs); all Gods and Goddesses will fall in love with him and be conquered (36 lakhs); all Guardians of the Directions will fall in love and be under his control (40 lakhs); the excellent Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Rudra, Īśvara and Sadāśiva will fall in love with and be under his control (44 lakhs). The devotee will reach Bindu, merge with Lalitāmbikā and obtain Parāsiddhi and Aparasiddhi after Japa reaches 46 lakhs. He will be the real great fire that melts the butter in the form of Śaktis. Flames of excessive passion make them burn. They appear to be burned by showers of Kāmarāja's fiery arrows. They are afflicted with anxiety; they seem to suffer because of the fever of love. They will all seem obsessed with love and will do whatever he wants immediately. Despite being infinitely powerful, the devotee will be full of love, compassion and kindness towards all beings. By slightly moving his eyebrows or by simple will, he can subdue (Vaśya), enchant (Mohana), paralyze (Stambhana), extirpate (Uccāṭana) or even kill (Māraṇa) the ill-intentioned. He will possess all the punitive and destructive powers obtained by black magic (Abhicāra), as well as the defensive and counterattack powers (Pratyabhicāra). Without any objection, all the Gods will help to liberate the entire Kula (family) and they will attain salvation. Now do you understand why she is the most beautiful of the three worlds? Lalitāmbikā alone is the Supreme Atman. All Gods worship her. All infinite powers of the Gods come from her and this Mantra. Only those, who after intense meditation and contemplation of the Śrīcakra's teachings, have become Lord Śiva himself will be successful with the Pañcadaśī of Lalitāmbikā. The Goddess is reached only by good people, never by bad people. For beings who are evil, even if they are Gods, the Goddess will be inaccessible. Thus I told the greatness and results of the Matra Pañcadaśī or Kādividyā. Now I will talk about the Ṣoḍaśī Mantra (18 and 28 Letters). The difference between the Ṣoḍaśī Mantras of 18 and 28 letters is the speed of mastery over it. The 28-letter Mantra is faster than the 18-letter Mantra to gain mastery. This Vidyā frees one from bondage. After gaining mastery over the Mantra, hear the results of continuing Japa: the sins of the previous seven births will be destroyed (8 lakhs); the sins of a thousand previous births will be destroyed (12 lakhs); all the sins committed by the devotee in all his previous births will be completely destroyed and he will merge with Śrīdevī (64 lakhs). Ṣoḍaśī Mantra is the Mother's compassion for her son and the pain of separation. Sins separate the child from the Mother. Ṣoḍaśī Mantra is about that maternal gaze that is in a hurry to embrace the child, through the destruction of sins. Always staying close to him, she will tell him everything. The Goddess will always follow the devotee of the Ṣoḍaśī Mantra who sought refuge in her. Wherever the devotee is, in this life or after, she will always be there with him. Who can separate them? Nobody can. Sin cannot touch this devotee, even if it were possible for him to commit any sin, which will be impossible. He will be exceedingly pure, even in the midst of the greatest pleasures. So Mother will always be close by. Of all the Āmnāya Mantras, those belonging to Vārāhī, Śyāmalā and Lalitā are the most excellent. Among the Lalitā Mantras, three are most splendid. They are well known as Kāmarāja, Nandikeśvara and Lopāmudrā. The difference between them is caused by three Varṇas, namely, “ka”, “ha” and “sa”. The first is Kādividyā, Kālī – Kuṇḍalī Krama and Kāmakalākālī. The second is Sādividyā, Tārā – Samavirodhinī Krama and Dakṣiṇākālī. The third is Hādividyā, Ṣoḍaśī – Ham̐sa Krama and Guhyakālī. There are two other secret Kramas which are those of Bagalāmukhī and Chinnamastā, but I won't go into details now. Jñānaśakti and Sattva Guṇa are intense in Sādi, so Dakṣiṇākālī is the most benign form of Kālī. Dakṣiṇākālī is related to the Sun, Jñānaśakti, Sthiti and Sattva Guṇa. She is the Sarasvati of Kālī's forms, the most benign. The word "dakṣiṇā" here means intelligent, clever, skillful. Sustainment or Sthiti is the balance between Creation and Destruction. Dakṣiṇākālī is that Mother who creates and destroys in a very intelligent, clever and skillful way. Dakṣiṇākālī is this combination of offering the devotee everything he needs and at the same time destroying all obstacles. Her Mantra has 22 letters and is Supreme: krīm̐ krīm̐ krīm̐ hūm̐ hūm̐ hrīm̐ hrīm̐ dakṣiṇe kālike krīm̐ krīm̐ krīm̐ hūm̐ hūm̐ hrīm̐ hrīm̐ svāhā । It is closely connected with Tārā, which is the cause of the constant agitation (Sthiti) of Brahman as the Praṇava om̐. Kālī wants Brahman and the Universe to be just one body, and she does this as Tārā, while at the same time she creates and destroys in a very skillful way. So she is called Dakṣiṇākālī and Tārā is the savior who keeps Brahman and Jagat as one. The Praṇava om̐ is Brahman saying that he and the Universe are inseparable, and that Tārā which is capable of stirring Brahman is also capable of saving. About Kāmakalākālī, who rules this Universe? The one who "Desires" is the one who governs the Universe. Who is the one who "Desires"? It is Kāmakalākālī. More than that, Kāmakalākālī is the one who creates the one who perpetuates herself. Who perpetuates Kāmakalākālī? It is Guhyakālī. Kāmakalākālī created Guhyakālī. Kāmakalā produces Krama and Krama perpetuates Kāmakalā. It is like the fire that produces the moon and at the same time consumes its nectar. Kāmakalākālī is Brahman, Dakṣiṇākālī is the evolving soul and Guhyakālī is the "Guru" who is teaching the soul to become Brahman through evolution through the mind, intellect and sense organs. Apparently, Brahman wants to be each soul, but preserving its individuality. It's difficult to know about the future. Guhyakālī is one who can make someone live for an indefinite amount of time, even by possessing the body. Guhyakālī has this desire to make nature identical with Brahman. It's difficult to know what will happen in the future.

It can be done over a period of time convenient to you. These are to be done prior to the start of the mantra japa and are NOT mandatory. Go through these, only if your guru suggests and permits you to go through these procedures. You cannot bypass the instructions of your guru and hope to gain siddhi.

We have not made any videos related to the Śrī cakra pūja. You may refer to any other Youtube videos for more information. This should ONLY be performed after taking the specific instructions from your guru. There is a guru pāduka that needs to be invoked too.

We used to have such a feature but it was discontinued as per the instructions of our revered guru Shri Ravi ji. We have been instructed not to store any information or reveal any known information in any manner to anybody. It is to protect the privacy of all commenters and those communicating via emails to us. We intend to keep the same rules going forward as well.

You may read and understand the meaning of the kavacam. It is generally not a good practice to recite these stotras without a proper initiation. While it may not be harmful, the true potential of the stotram cannot be realized unless one practices the associated deity mantras also.

Namaskar Suryaji, How is Sadi connected to Dakshinkali- is it related to Sun and Shristhi? Is there any connection of this with Kalsankarshini?

Sir thank you for such an explanation sir. Sir could you please tell us why panchadashi mantra is considered most powerful, most protected and most secretive mantra? What is so special and different about this mantra?

Sri Mata Namah Is there any video available with instructions?

Sir thank you for such an explanation sir. Sir could you tell us more about dakshina kali and her upasna and the benefits of worshipping her ? What is her relation with sadi Vidya, guhya kali and kamakala kali?

By ṣoḍaśākṣarī you mean panchadashi with Srim or Maha shodashi of 28 letters. I read somewhere that panchadashi should be chanted some 84 lakhs times to be perfected? Is it true
