Namaste, Can you please post the Maha Shodha Nyasa which is done using trikanda mudra. Thank you

The Guru and Pratyaṅgirā are sitting on the Meru of Japamālā to remind you that you should never cross her who is the embodiment of Dharma. Sitting there to remind you that you will not get the desired fruits if you cross the Dharma. Remembering this during practice ensures the desired fruits with the repetition of Mantras. The devotee learns what Dharma means through the Bhūpura of the Śrīcakra. The meaning of the deities protecting the Bhūpura and what they say about the Dharma must be learned from the mouth of the Guru. For example: Aṇimā Siddhi, the first deity of Bhūpura, means the humility of becoming as tiny as an atom at the feet of the Guru. Humility will make you as small as an atom and walk through any door. Without humility there is no learning. Those who have not become modest or humble are barred by Yogini Aṇimā Siddhi. Furthermore, the Yogini Sarvasaṅkṣobhiṇi will use her strength to shake up the devotee's life until he learns to be humble and move forward. When the devotee completes the arduous journey of reaching Bindu, when he returns to Bhūpura through Srishti Krama, the Yogini Aṇimā will grant the superhuman power of subatomic vision, which enables him to learn about anything or pass through anything. These powers are only experienced after passing through all the Śrīcakra Yoginis. In Samhara Krama they are "teachers" of the devotee alongside the Guru. Then in Srishti Krama they grant all their powers to the devotees. But devotees are tested by all Yoginis before. It is very difficult to pass the test of one Yogini, now imagine passing the test of 98 Yoginis. Without the Guru's compassion and teaching during the journey, the devotee is stuck midway even for lifetimes. Glory to that Guru who enlightened our vision when it was clouded with the darkness of ignorance. Glory to that Guru who saves.

Namaste Krishna. The Stotra commented on by Tripuraghna is complete. There are versions of this Stotra on the internet where part of it is suppressed due to its power. The sixteen Yoginis are present in this complete version, in addition to other parts that are fortunately already included by Tripuraghna. To contribute I will provide the link with a document that has the Purva Pithika and Phalasruti of this Stotra-Mala. Blessings. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jT9iBbGNmswk7LHsACjP1VbnbkFOdeYr/view?usp=drivesdk

Namaste Krishna. I realize that devotees have a very difficult time understanding the real greatness of the Śrīvidyā Mantra (Kādi Pañcadaśākṣarī). I mentioned Kādi because it is superior to the others. It is superior because the Mother plays with the devotees even in variations of her own Mantra. She is hidden in various ways, but she is found "naked" in the Kādi. So I decided to write in a simple and objective way the 16 meanings of the Queen of all Mantras. Krishna, you can write an article about this if you prefer and go deeper if you wish. MANTRĀRTHAM̐ The number of meanings of the Śrīvidyā Mantra is its number of letters and their totality, that is, sixteen meanings. The sixteenth meaning (which is secret) is the combination of the 15 letters (Sam̐hita). I ask special attention to the sixth meaning, which is the most important of all (Sarvarahasyārtha). 1. GĀYATRYARTHA Gāyatrī and Śrīvidyā have three parts. They correspond to all triads. When the three parts are considered as one, it is Sam̐hita: Ṛkveda, Yajurveda and Sāmaveda = Atharvaṇaveda; AUM̐ = Praṇava; Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Rudra = Paramaśiva; Sṛṣṭi, Sthiti and Samhāra = Anākhya; Jāgrat, Svapna and Suṣupti; = Turīya; Pramātṛ, Pramāṇa and Prameya = Pramā; Icchā, Jñāna and Kriyā = Cit; Vāmā, Jyeṣṭhā and Raudrī = Kuṇḍalinī. And so on. Therefore, Śrīvidyā means the identity between the Vedas and the Tantras. 2. BHĀVĀRTHA Śrīvidyā, Lalitā and Universe are identical with each other. Therefore, Śrīvidyā means whatever is Perceived. 3. SAMPRADĀYĀRTHA Śrīvidyā, Paramaśiva and Universe are identical with each other. Therefore, Śrīvidyā means all Traditions. 4. NIGARBHĀRTHA Śrīvidyā, Ātman, Guru and Paramaśiva are identical with each other. Therefore, Śrīvidyā means the grace of the Guru on the path of Self-realization. 5. KAULIKĀRTHA Śrīvidyā, Ātman, Guru, Śrīcakra and Lalitā are identical with each other. Therefore, Śrīvidyā means the inseparability of the Kula. 6. SARVARAHASYĀRTHA Śrīvidyā, Kuṇḍalinī, Ātman and Lalitā are identical with each other. The secret behind all things is Kuṇḍalinī. Ultimately, the Ātman is Kuṇḍalinī, whose body is one with the fifty Mātṛkās that produce the Universe. In fact, the Mātṛkās or Sounds are not in the Cakras but in Kuṇḍalinī, and it is she who produces them. The primordial secret is that Brahman never ceased to be, but rather that he limits and expands his own consciousness as Kuṇḍalinī. Therefore, Śrīvidyā means Kuṇḍalinī. 7. MAHĀTATTVĀRTHA Śrīvidyā, Ātman and Paramaśiva are identical with each other. This Brahman is beyond the word, the mind, the senses and the 36 Tattvas. It is definitive because it is complete and permeates everything. It is the fullness beyond emptiness, not unlike the Manifest Universe, and is the bliss of consciousness. Therefore, Śrīvidyā means the Transcendental Principle or Brahman. 8. NĀMĀRTHA Śrīvidyā is identical with Vācaka, i.e. Letters meaning Objects. Therefore, Śrīvidyā means the Consciousness that establishes the Objects. 9. ŚABDARŪPĀRTHA Śrīvidyā is identical with Vācya, i.e. Objects signified by their Letters. Therefore, Śrīvidyā means the Objects that reveal Consciousness. 10. NAMAIKADEŚĀRTHA Just as a part can convey the meaning of the whole, the individual Letters of Śrīvidyā convey the entire meaning of the whole. Therefore, Śrīvidyā means Immanence and Transcendence. 11. ŚAKTYARTHA The nature of Parāśakti is simultaneously threefold and transcendental: Icchā, Jñāna and Kriyā = Cit; Vāmā, Jyeṣṭhā and Raudrī = Kuṇḍalinī; Vāgbhavakūṭa, Kāmarājakūṭa and Śaktikūṭa = Śrīvidyā. The beauty of realizing the non-separation between Subject, Knowledge and Object is Auspiciousness. Parāśakti is this. Therefore, Śrīvidyā means Śuddhavidyā or Pure Knowledge. 12. SĀMARASYĀRTHA The letters "ka" (3) and "ha" (2) are Śivākṣaras. The letters "e" (1), "ī" (1), "la" (3) and "sa" (2) are Śaktyakṣaras. The letter "hrīm̐" (3) is Paramaśivākṣara. Therefore, Śrīvidyā means the identity between Śiva and Śakti, as well as the identity of Śiva-Śakti with Paramaśiva. 13. SAMASTĀRTHA Śrīvidyā is definitive and complete in its ability to signify Brahman and all existing sounds and objects, as well as to realize all four Puruṣārthas or purposes of existence. There is absolutely nothing outside Śrīvidyā. Therefore, Śrīvidyā means the Whole and All, Condensed. 14. SAGUṆĀRTHA Śrīvidyā is the source of all attributes or qualities. In fact, the potency of absolutely everything is derived from Śrīvidyā, who holds all attributes. Therefore, Śrīvidyā means Parabrahmasvarūpiṇī or the Form of Brahman. 15. MAHĀVĀKYARTHA Śrīvidyā is the source of all knowledge and everything that can be learned. Therefore, Śrīvidyā means the greatest of all Declarations and Teachings. 16. SANDHYĀRTHA Śrīvidyā presides over the four Sandhyās: Prātaḥ, Madhyāhna, Sāyam and Turīya. Each Kūṭa reveals a Sandhyā and a set of Presiding Deities who assist and protect the devotee at all times and forever. Love for unity with Devī replaces fear, which was a consequence of separation.

I came to know about this sad news this morning only. I never missed visiting the Discussion Forum of the Manblunder portal everyday but for the last 2-3 weeks since I was travelling. I sent my wishes to him on the eve of New Year and today, I got a text from GuruMa informing me about his sad demise. My sincere condolences' to his family. I am a Srividya upasaka and it was Amman’s grace that I was initiated into Sowbhagya Panchadasi by Shri Ravi Guruji in December 2022 and since them I have been doing this Mantra Sadhna almost all the time aligned to my breath. Before this, it was in October 2022 that he gave me the Siddhi mantra, which he derived from my birth chart and name. I met Shri Ravi ji in his house in Chennai in March 2023 and spent a good time with him. It was Post retirement that I started spending my daytime going through the various articles & materials posted in the Manblunder portal including the discussion forum on various topics. The portal provides treasure trove of spiritual knowledge and wisdom for spiritual aspirants like me across the globe. I don’t remember the name but someone had righted posted in this website, a few months back that this Manblunder portal is like a virtual Ashram, where the darkness of ignorance is dispelled and the Divine Mother herself speaks through such enlightened people. This initiative of Shri Ravi Guruji is unparalled. I have no words to express my sincere gratitude to Shri Ravi Guruji for his Selfless service. It is very rare to find such a highly evolved spiritual soul in today’s times, with so much of humility and humbleness, who has lived with exemplary principles, for all of us to emulate. Shri Santosh has shared some anecdotes of his association with Shri Ravi Guruji and it would certainly benefit all of us if he could share more such experiences. Shri Ravi Guruji has left his physical body to merge with the Supreme Consciousness but he would surely continue to be in our heart all the time and guide us in our journey back to the Source.

Thanks for your quick reply sir! Actually I am doing laghu Anusthan. I will try 'PranaYama' Suggestion Which I never done. Thanks for quick suggestions and advice. Thanks a lot.

Ideally speaking, there should be no break. But if it is unavoidable, then continue at the earliest. Exhaustion could be due to excess mantra japa performed without starting with a few rounds of Prāṇāyama. It is important that the mantra japa should be performed silently in the mind and NOT verbally with sound. Each syllable should be spelt out correctly and not garbled due to the speed of japa. Try to do this in a conversational style and in a very smooth manner. It typically takes about an hour for me to perform 5 mālas of this mantra and I am not tired or yawning during the japa. In your particular case, you would have to spend many hours if you wish to complete 1 lakh of this mantra within 11 days and that definitely is very tiring. I would suggest that you choose 90 days or even 1 year to complete 1 lakh and take it from there. It is important to enjoy the mantra japa and feel His presence within you and not be in a hurry to finish off. Also, it is quite important that all the sections of the mantra japa are recited without fail on a daily basis. Most people just go about reciting the mantra, skipping the other sections. Doing so may not yield the desired results.

Hello Sir, Thanks for this beautiful post. I seek your suggestions on following 2 issues. I request you to please help me on this. 1)How many days break one can take if one decided to 1/10 homa after 11 days Anusthan of Mool mantra? 2) Many a times I feel exhausted after Japa of mantra. how I can heal or avoid this exhaustion? Thanks/regards Jai

We will look into this.

There are variations attributed to the same source. This is quite common. You may follow any of the stotras of your liking.
