Namaste Nesh. Yes, "namaḥ śivāya" is potent because it works through Grace, not Tapas. Through Grace, an idiot can learn all the Vedas and Tantras in a single day. This is what Supramental Mantras do. They test your faith to the limit and then bless you with absurd things like immortal bodies and knowledge about all Yogas in a single day. I have seen people have all their sins forgiven at once through Grace. Tapas can never do that, the person will have to suffer Karma or be born several times, even practicing powerful Mantras. In the past I accompanied a woman with the practice of the "namaḥ śivāya" Mantra. I told her: "Recite a hundred thousand times within six months." After six months she said that she practiced 30 minutes in the morning and afternoon and all her problems in all areas of life gradually disappeared. But when she reached one hundred thousand recitations, she had a Kundalini awakening that left her in a spiritual trance for twelve hours and after that she felt complete and uninterrupted happiness for a week. This is a true Kundalini awakening.

Namaste. Kubjikā is the Queen of the Paścimāmnāya. The Root Mantra of this Queen seated on the western throne is composed of a single Kūṭa of nine letters: sahakṣamalavarayīm̐ ॥ The highly fortunate ones who master this Mantra directly become Lord Mahābhairava, embodies all the Gods and possesses the nature of all the Gods and is equal to them. He becomes the Lord of all beings. Kubjikā's consort is Lord Kubja. The Mantra of this excellent Lord has thirteen letters: om̐ haum̐ hūm̐ kubjeśvarāya kṣraum̐ khphrem̐ krom̐ namaḥ ॥ He who masters this Mantra conquers the Three Worlds, satisfies all his desires, obtains long life and all pleasures. He becomes competent to defeat all Gods.

Namaste Śrī Jothi. I am so grateful for this information. It will majorly change my haphazard sadhana going forward. I will treat the tantric mantras like volatile chemicals in the lab, and proceed only by exact instructions. I’m feeling so lucky to have learned this in time from you, before I damaged myself or caused external harm. Many, many thanks. Until I have found a proper guru for Kāmakalā Kālī sadhana, I plan to try mentally reciting and meditating on the sphrom bija, under a raja gopuram where I initially attempted self initiation before Dākshinamūrthy vigraha, sitting in front of Kameshwari Bhairavi and between Bala Tripura Sundarī and Lord Krishna. Hopefully this setting will provide some auspiciousness and grace to facilitate effective practice and results. I am overjoyed that Divine Mother has sent me guidance through you. Thank you so so much for conveying this practical and essential wisdom and knowledge

I am having a moderate issue with lust since refocusing on sadhana of these two incomparable queens. It has been causing some careless social behavior and maybe reducing kundalini potency when acted upon. I am having a similar albeit more minor issue with anger. Agressieve forceful exercise seems to manage these impulses and temptations most of the time, but I am curious about trying some of the vamachara rituals of Tārā. I don’t expect any supernatural benefits but hopefully trying to sanctify sex into these practices, which involve prolonged countenance and focused breathing with Japa and meditation, and also sometimes exhaustive scheduling and durations, may provide a healthier and more beneficial outlet than just thoughtlessly and carelessly acting on lust when I’m not in a married relationship. I assume the tantric texts I have to work with contain mantras and procedures that are pinned and dormant, so going off of them would just be recitation and not a true, potentially dangerous performance of sacred rituals

Is namaḥ śivāya ॥ truly so potent? I chanted it for a while but can’t remember how it went. Now I chant a modification given by one of Śrī Ravi Guruji’s disciples, Śrī Santosh, in the mornings, which incorporates ātma bijas. I can’t isolate effectiveness because I also perform Japa of (initiated) Bala and Tripura Bhairavi mantras in the morning. The Kāmakalā Kālī mantra Japa, performed mentally throughout the rest of the day and night, seems much more energetic and pulsating and psychically, psychologically, and physiologically active, even though my only initiation is going before Dākshinmūrthy once or twice a month on trayodashi and asking him to be the initiating guru, and to keep my mind and behavior interesting and appealing to the Devi so her mantra form does not become bored or restless or inimical or one of the other 60 or so bad conditions a mantra can take in relation to a sadhak (from a book on Kālī Kaula which repeated from a more widely known tantra)

God this is so exciting! You are truly my hero for sharing such things Jothi ji.

Guru ji. Sorry... I request u to give like Ucchista Ganapati Shodasha Upachara Puja like Hanuman Puja and upsana... Please guru ji please update ASAP... I am eagerly waiting for your response.....

Nābhividyā is below the "namaḥ śivāya" Mantra and does not belong to the supramental category. Mahāsadāśiva and Aruṭperuñjōti belong to the class of Supramental Mantras. Anyone can benefit from the Supramental Mantras, but those who prepare themselves first through śrīvidyā and become the personification of love will be able to access the highest fruits of these Mantras. One of the fruits would be the three supramental bodies: Śuddha Deha (the supramental physical body of Ṣoḍaśī, with the purity of molten gold and youthfulness of a 12-year-old, free from disease, hunger, thirst and sleep and endowed with the Aṣṭasiddhis of the Queen, physical indestructible against any force of nature), Praṇava Deha (the supramental subtle body of Tārā, with the purity of 108 carat gold and the youthfulness of 5 years of age, endowed with the 64 Siddhis that are above the Aṣṭasiddhis, visible body, but not susceptible to touch) and Jñāna Deha (the supramental causal body of Kālī, with the purity of gold at an immeasurable level, endowed with the 688 crores of Mahāsiddhis above the Aṣṭasiddhis and 64 Siddhis, visible and invisible body simultaneously). Notice how these fruits are so far above the others. There are more fruits, I have briefly listed some. For these fruits, only people who have become the embodiment of love and compassion are eligible for Supramental Yoga. The śrīvidyā path is an excellent preparation for Supramental Yoga. Mirra Alfassa (The Mother of Aurobindo) only became interested in practicing Supramental Yoga at an advanced age. She said that Lord Śiva, in his supramental form, came to her at a younger age many times but she was very busy with other practices. She tried her best at an advanced age, but she was already very weakened by age. However, she managed to experience Praṇava Deha for a short time. But she was unable to integrate the three supramental bodies because of her age. He didn't have time. But it was not in vain, the practice raised her to levels above most of the most powerful Sages and she will return in the future to finish her practice and take possession of the three immortal bodies.
