Nice sharing Sriram-sir.

Sweet memories with Paramaguru Śrī Ānandānandanātha (Ravi-Ji) On July, 2015 I came in contact with Ravi-sir through one of my friend. I only approached him for Siddhi Mantra. After a year onwards I started sending my queries (via e-mail) regarding sadhana while practicing the paths of other guru lineage. Sometimes the questions were too lengthy which he mentioned also but he replied the all gently. He rectified and guided my process of dhyana and provided valuable suggestions. Once I asked him How a Disciple can realize that destined spiritual Master for him which is fixed already. He replied “You can decide this based upon your experience.” On early 2018 I informed him about my certain issue. He guided me to practice the breath control or pranayama. And regarding food he replied “It is better to avoid non-vegetarian food during spiritual practices, as this will affect energy levels in the body.” Then I requested him for the mantra initiation. He replied due to age he stopped initiations and provide me a link to approach for mantra initiations. Later I met Santosh-sir to continue my practices. I am fortunate to be part of this guru tradition. Here I share some conversations that can touch all the seekers on spiritual path. Q1: People of India mostly deceived by fake sadhus. How to generate trust again on religious pursuits? Ravi-sir: Fake Gurus are always after money and material things. They will have innumerable followers and will have large ashrams sprawling to several acres of land and buildings. We have to stay away from them. When we follow them, we can never have trust in spirituality itself. Spiritual teachings should be one to one between a guru and his disciple. Q2: India has had a rich heritage on sanatan culture. What was the daily performing (Nitya-karma) relevant now to follow. Ravi-sir: More than the daily karmas that are to be followed, love, compassion and faith in the Divine are important. Nitya karmas shape our mind to come to a certain routine and inculcate discipline in our minds. Relevance depends on individual mindset. Q3: What are the qualities of a Sri Vidya Upasak? Ravi-sir: Simplicity, lack of ego, helping nature and dedication are the primary qualities of a Sri Vidya upasak. Thanks again Santosh-Ji for sharing details about Ravi-sir which he preferred to keep secret from public.

It's only due to His grace that people like me could get a glimpse of true spirituality . Always indebted to the spiritual support i received from Him. May He always reside in my heart ♥️.

Namaste to all Shri Ravi Guruji will always be in our hearts

Thank you for the article. It was a blessing from Devi to send Pure Soul for all of us. It is extremely hard to meet Guruji with principles you explained in article. I only contacted Shri Ravi Guruji over internet but he always helped me and answered my questions. I truly appreciate it. It is always like to see a sun in this darkness time

Can you tell me the meaning of this mantra aruṭperuñjōti aruṭperuñjōti taṉipperuṅkaruṇai aruṭperuñjōti and how to practice it correctly? Thank you.

Namaste Tripuraghna Ji. Kindly Reveal the Procedure ----When Guhyakālī is worshiped as a part of Srīkula, there is a peculiar vidhi of doing a sampuṭa of each letter of Kādi Mahāṣōḍaśī with one of these mantras for purposes of Japa. This is the fastest way to unlock the otherwise unattainable mantras of Guhyakālī in the age of Kaliyuga. This protects the sādhaka from various accidents, mishaps and miseries otherwise encountered during the upāsanā of Guhyakālī

Thank you for sharing, Santoshji.

Namaste Jothiji. My sincere gratitude and thanks for the reply. Is it mandatory to first achieve the 1008 repetitions for Atmaraksha mantra as you described? Can I do less than 1008 repetitions per day after completing the first 3 months cycle as you mentioned or will I have to maintain the 1008 repetitions daily after it? I will abide by your advice regarding Kritya shakti. I do not wish anyone harm; I just want to render the enemies doing the black magic defenseless against me and my family..we are innocent. Is there anything else to follow that you recommend while pursuing Mother Pratyangira's sadhana? Can i ask you what are the things and qualities in a devotee that pleases her the most? For the heat issue is there anything I can do to reduce it further? Thank you Jothiji. Pranaam.

Nandi-vidyā. Yesterday I was contemplating the Śrīcakra and the following question arose: what was Nandi's purpose in praying to Lalitāmbikā through Sādividyā? The answer that the Divine Mother gave me was that I should read the first verse of the Saundarya Lahari again. This verse says: "Only if in conjunction with the Divine Mother Śakti, Lord Śiva gains the privilege of becoming Īśvara and ruling the Universes, otherwise, Brahman is not even able to move. Knowing this, how dare anyone , who has not acquired any merit, salute or praise you, O Goddess! Who is worthy of being worshiped even by Brahmā, Viṣṇu, Rudra and others?" While contemplating on this verse I remembered that the preponderant Tattvas in Sādividyā are Sadāśiva and Īśvara Tattvas. What happens in these two Tattvas? It is in the Sadāśiva Tattva that the primordial desire of the Supreme Brahman to experience himself as many arises; It is in this Tattva that the sovereign desire to create and experience arises. In Īśvara Tattva, Lord Śiva is endowed with a specific Śakti or power that allows him to project the seed of the Universe or anything else in his mind, before it manifests in reality. Knowing all this, we can conclude that Nandi is the vehicle of Śiva or the power of Sādividyā. Having a vehicle means you can move around. For Śiva, freedom of movement means that the Nandi of Sādividyā transforms Nandi and the devotees of this Vidyā into Mantra-Maheśvara (great lords of the mantras) and Mantreśvara (lords of the mantra). It was through this Vidyā that Nandi gained the status of this specific Śakti which is the vehicle of Śiva. As Śiva is everywhere, freedom of movement means that he has the power to see the Universe separately from himself and modify it in any way he wishes. Sādividyā is kept discreet because of its greater potential for abuse. Of the three great Vidyās of Lalitāmbikā (Kādi, Sādi, Hādi), Sādividyā means "diversity", while the other two mean "unity" and "unity in diversity". Kādividyā means Śakti Tattva which is the greatest of all. Śiva and Paraśiva Tattva is absorbed by Śakti Tattva. The Divine Mother occupies the entire body of Śiva. Śakti becomes a kind of womb that surrounds Brahman and transcends it. Only in this way would she be able to measure Brahman and create: she completely envelops him and permeates everything. Who is superior, the measurer or the measured? Hādividyā has a concentration of Śuddhavidyā Tattva (unity in diversity). Hādividyā gives freedom and at the same time makes the body immortal. Whoever perfects Hādividyā makes his body immortal because he, together with his soul, identifies with Brahman. This Vidyā makes the devotee free and capable of performing the harshest penances because he becomes immortal. However, he can leave the body and adopt a new one, it doesn't matter. Your new body will always identify with Brahman and become indestructible. Unity in diversity means that I can be Brahman even in the diversity that is the body. Kādividyā does not grant liberation because that is not the highest aim of existence. The biggest goal is to play forever in different ways. Kādividyā gives infinite pleasure and enjoyment wherever the devotee is, in whatever worlds. It will never be boring because the creativity of the Divine Mother is infinite. In this Vidyā there is the idea of "unity". This means you will have fun, but guided by the divine will which is perfect, this is different from the "diversity" of Sādividyā and the "unity in diversity" of Hādividyā. When considered separately, these three form an inverted Yoni. When considered as one, these three form a Bindu. In my opinion, these 3 Mantras of 15 letters are the greatest. Other variations are dedicated to more specific but not higher purposes. Everything I said was inspired by the Divine Mother in the face of my doubt.
