Respected Tīvra , the recent discussions have sparked a curiosity in me towards the astrological sciences taking my example My Amatyakaraka is Jupiter and Atmakaraka is Venus, but the Placement of Jupiter is in 8th house does this placement also affect the identity of the ista devata

Mnx. Working with Aruḷ Śakti, the Śakti of Grace, is infinitely superior to anything else. There is nothing higher that one can work with. I teach and explain other practices because devotees deeply love their respective deities, and so I guide them in the best way possible.

Namaste, nashmkm. Your Devī is Dakṣiṇā Kālī, this is remarkably clear. She is more than perfectly suited to you. I recommend working with Her 22-syllable mantra, along with Her Kavaca, Khaḍgamālā, Aṣṭottaraśatanāma (108 Names), Triśatī (300 Names), and Sahasranāma (1,000 Names). Her Triśatī, in particular, is very special.

Namaste Tīvra, could you plz help me find form of Devi i should worship. My Atmakaraka is Venus and my Amtyakaraka is Saturn. Any guidance would be a great help. Would reciting astothtra of Devi you ask me to pray to be a good starting point in that path of sadhana? Thanks in advance.

Dear Pranav, because you are still young, I will point you toward what I believe to be the most suitable path for you. However, I strongly ask that you seek a qualified Guru who can properly initiate you into the mantra I am about to indicate. Your iṣṭa-devatā is Ṣoḍaśī, approached through the Hādi Pañcadaśī. Your iṣṭa-devatā is Lalitā; however, rather than being envisioned as seated above Kāmeśvara, she occupies the left half of Kāmeśvara’s body. Here, the half of the body represented by Kāmeśvara signifies the Puruṣa Tattva, while Lalitā signifies Prakṛti Tattva together with the remaining tattvas below it. What you need to understand is that this Puruṣa Tattva possesses the capacity to identify itself with all the tattvas above it, extending even to Śiva Tattva. You should therefore contemplate this mantra as your own human soul in the process of evolution. You recite it with the intention that this human soul may mature and ascend until it becomes capable of merging into Śiva-Śakti Tattva. You should also understand that the Kādi Pañcadaśī represents your Spirit, the Fire of Consciousness from which your human soul emerged. This Spirit gave rise to your evolving human soul so that, through its development and maturation, it might eventually become prepared to merge back into that very Fire of Consciousness. In clearer terms, even if you do not recite the Kādi Pañcadaśī, your human soul will ultimately merge into what it represents as you continue to recite and meditate upon the Hādi Pañcadaśī. The bhāvanā you should maintain while practicing this mantra is that the mantra is identical with your own being. And when you look upon the world and the universe, cultivate the following bhāvanā: Icchā: “This universe is my own Consciousness, and it has emerged from me.” Jñāna: “This universe is my own Consciousness reflected within my own Consciousness.” Kriyā: “This universe is my own Consciousness; therefore, all the objects appearing within it are not different from me.” The union of these three contemplative attitudes constitutes, in the sense intended here, Śāmbhavopāya. You contemplate the universe in this way because you no longer regard yourself as separate from the Divine. Thus, you do not merely see God as the universe; you recognize the universe as inseparable from your own Consciousness. The emphasis of the Hādi Pañcadaśī is therefore upon this recognition: The universe has emanated from you. The universe is reflected within you. And everything appearing within the universe is not separate from you. This is the contemplative orientation of Śāmbhavopāya that I want you to understand. Finally, I gently but sincerely ask you to seek a qualified Guru who can initiate you properly into Hādi Vidyā. Such a mantra should not be approached merely as an intellectual teaching, but received through proper dīkṣā, with the guidance necessary for its practice and realization.

Namaste tivraji my atmakaraka is moon and my amatyakaraka is mercury. I am of young age but I have interest and love both of them towards maa. I saw ur comment about astrology in sadhana and the other things to be spiritually elevated. Now I see that the spiritual practices that I have done till now are of no use. I seek ur help and kindly ask u to guide me to tell me who should I worship. I apologize if my language is not good as I'm not very learned and young. I see that u are an messanger of goddess so Plss guide me to her. I seek refuge in u. JAY MAA

Namaste Tivra ji. Please reply when you are back. Does Atmakarak planet helps in connecting with The Whole? How can we increase strength of AK planet to strengthen our connection with The Whole/ Grace Shakti/ ineffable Shiva?

Can I do jap of bala trayakshri or navakshri without initiation?
