Namaste Богдан. Beyond the ocean is the spontaneous state of grace. What is spontaneous state of grace? It is to achieve the fruits of labor without the work. It's turning miracle into Dharma - something natural. Beyond the ocean there is something that is both vast and ever-growing. Beyond the ocean there is an intelligence that can choose to forgive all your sins and set you free, even without your making any effort. And no one will be able to explain the reason for this divine decision. When we speak of a spontaneous state of grace, previous births have no impact if beyond the ocean comes the Dharmic command that you will achieve all the fruits of labor without labor. Beyond the ocean is the miracle state. If that intelligence says that the earth will become a paradise and there will be no more cycle of birth and death, that miracle will become Dharma and natural. If this intelligence says that all humans will have immortal light bodies right here on earth, that miracle will become natural law (Dharma). Beyond the ocean there is an incredible intelligence, so incredible that it is always growing and becoming more incredible. For the divine game to be eternal, the divine cannot be something defined, it must be something incredible that is always growing and becoming more incredible. When you think you have achieved the divine, you will see that it can become more incredible. As you run towards the divine, trying to catch it, you also become amazing on the way, but you can never catch it. This is the divine game. Lalitā is not a Queen. Lalitā is a child who pretends to be a Queen... pretends to be Kāli... pretends to be all manifestations of the Divine Mother. Have you ever seen a child playing concentrated and alone with his toys? Lalitā is something similar. If you ask a child why he's happy and chasing a butterfly, he won't understand what you're saying, he'll just say it's fun. It has no purpose. The game itself is the purpose. In Lalitopakhyana Lalitā says: "I am always independent and even my husband will be according to my own hobbies and whims". It is not Shakti who adapts to her consort, but the consort adapts to Shakti. And this happens in the different manifestations of Shaktis and their respective consorts.

Tripuraghna ji, I understand panchadasi is all desire, then 1. Does she help in achieving what she desires or are you just filled with desires and no way to quench them, how to deal with this? 2. how do one reconcile her unconditional love form with it? they seem at odds.

Namaste Krishna. Thank you very much for your efforts. Send the email again, now it will work. For those I didn't answer the respective questions, sorry, I will answer them in due course.

This has been very interesting conversation. I had similar doubts on the lines of D.Acharya ji and yet to go through the entire 1000 meanings. Very glad that in the mid itself MAA has clarified by guiding me to this page and my buddhi is willing and motivated to read further. Till now, I didint realise what is stopping me from reading more inspite of liking it so much. Pranams to both of you for enriching the sadhakas like me. This has been very helpful for understanding LS properly. Aum shri matre namah

Thank you so much Tripuraghna Ji. I have indeed been finding this fire of desire extremely difficult to control for quite some time. Until now, I had been thinking that it is actually due to some shortcoming in my practice and that I need to recite more japa of Pañcadaśākṣarī etc. Only recently, after reading your many insights regarding Pañcadaśākṣarī on this website, I realized that this upsurge in desire is most probably directly related to my practice of this mantra itself. I am sad to admit that while I genuinely adore Lalita, I don't think I am spiritually mature and ready to worship her in a capable way at present. So for now onwards and the foreseeable future, I will instead devote my worship to Raja Shyamala instead, who has always been dear to my heart and perhaps my favorite form of the Divine Mother. I have faith that She will take me under Her wing and groom me to be fit for worshipping Lalita one day, whether it's this lifetime or another. If you are able to share any insights on her upasana, I would be most grateful. Thank you!

Namaste, Sen. Don't worry, Pañcadaśākṣarī, Guru, Shri Chakra and Kundalini are identical. This Mantra provides salvation at a faster rate, but the fire inherent in it is difficult to control. In the beginning it may be easy, but the more you recite the Pañcadaśākṣarī, the more you will find it impossible to control this fire if you are not Lord Shiva Himself, the Lord/Controller of Desire. It is very likely that you will need the help of Raja Śyāmalā and Mahā Vārāhī to deal with this fire. The Maha Shodashi Mantra is prescribed to deal with this problem, as it includes Bala, Maha Ganapati, Shyamala, Vārāhī and Lalitā in a single Mantra, so that the devotee is not in danger of being destroyed by the fire of desire that is Lalitā. In summary, the Pañcadaśākṣarī is a complete Mantra leaving nothing to be desired, but it is a complicated Mantra to master. Lord Hayagrīva says that only a devotee who is Lord Siva Himself is capable of perfection. Because of this difficulty, Pañcadaśākṣarī is prescribed together with Vārāhī, Shyamala, Ganapati and Bala. Later all this is combined into a single Mantra which is Maha Shodashi. But a prepared devotee can use Pañcadaśākṣarī alone to achieve any goal and even final salvation. One last thing, the correct way to recite the Pañcadaśākṣarī is as if it were a three-syllable Mantra. I've listened to the Youtube recitations and they are almost all incorrect.

Namaste Dear Tripuraghna! The Nābhi Vidyā document is ready for your review. Can you please send me an email from another address or free up your inbox, as your email seems to be full and may not be accepting any incoming messages at this time. I tried reaching out twice and it bounced. I would like you to please review the document and then it can be published upon your approval!

Namaste Tirpuraghna Ji, thank you very much for sharing these valuable pearls on mantra shastra and especially the Pañcadaśākṣarī. If one is only initiated into the the 15 letter mantra (after Mahaganapati, Bala, Chandi, etc.) but has not been initiated into the Saubhāgyavidyā or Laghu Shodashi with Shrim at the end, what should one do in terms of worshipping Lalita? Will japa of Pañcadaśākṣarī and recitation of Lalita Sahasranama and/or Trishati be efficacious? Or is it more worthwhile to worship another deity like Bala, Raja Shyamala, or Maha Varahi and instead seek their aid in accessing Lalita? Thank you.

Pañcadaśākṣarī ends with the new moon. This Pañcadaśākṣarī Mantra is made by Nitya Devis. The Mantra starts with the full moon and ends with the new moon at Muladhara, connecting it with the command center (third eye). It is a nuclear bomb that commands all other nuclear bombs, when not accompanied by the seed of Lakshmi at the end (Shrim). This seed (Shrim) is the full moon return or quieter ascension of Kundalini. Pañcadaśākṣarī is Amāvasyā. This Mantra interrupts the nectar of the lunar channel, causing the fire of desire to intensify in Muladhara and awaken Kundalini. It is a complicated task to control this fire. Therefore, this is not a calm Mantra, but the most aggressive of all. It is the fire of desire/love that will not have its orders questioned by anyone.

To increase the trust of devotees in the worshiped deity, I will reveal a question I already asked Lalitā in the form of the Fifteen-Letter Mantra. During Mantra meditation I asked, "Mā, who is more aggressive, you or Kali?" Hearing this, Lalitā started to laugh in a frightening way and said sweetly, "I can be more terrible than Kāli, but Kāli can also be kinder than me." A rather curious answer, but when meditating it is possible to understand what Mother meant.
