Maa Guhya is like a hidden dot that connects all other dots in existence. It can give you a complete and extremely detailed description of the universes even before they burst into existence. She is a "mad scientist". She is hidden everywhere and it is impossible to find her. When she wants to communicate with a devotee she takes on different forms which are not her at all. She's the one doing the work behind the scenes but nobody sees. Maa Guhya is the guarantee that everything that is good can become better, and that everything that is bad can become worse, and that everything that is indescribable can become more indescribable, perpetually. Her basic Mantra is "phrem". This Mantra itself is a great mystery. It means something coming from somewhere unknown, but it's always something different that comes from there. She is closely linked to Lalitambika. The essence of beauty is in what is always unknown, in what cannot be fully known. She's like the epitome of beauty, but implicit. She is known as Shakti Pranava.

Namaste. Your statement is correct. They are manifestations of the same Mahāśakti. Atharvaṇa Bhadrakāḻi is Mahā Pratyaṅgirā. Grace Siddhi is the perfection bestowed by Graceśakti who is Mahāśakti. Grace Siddhi is the perfection attained by those who have become so pure and full of light that it is impossible for him to have enemies. They have become so pure and full of light that they become more and more powerful continuously and perpetually. Just as the supreme personality of God is unattainable because it is continually growing, these perfect souls are endowed with unattainable power because they have become the biune form of that God. They have given up everything and don't need to practice anything else. Even if they don't practice anything, they have already become Grace itself and become more and more powerful automatically. They grow more and more perpetually. Grace Siddhi is when God decides, of his own free will, to become the biune form of a specific soul. This is a gift that is received by those who have become so pure in heart that God simply gives himself to them. Only these souls can declare themselves perfect. They have surpassed all concepts of justice and are above justice itself. Only these souls have the highest respect from Mahā Pratyaṅgirā. Divine Mother Mahā Pratyaṅgirā can discipline all the great souls in this universe, except those who have Grace Siddhi, because they have become the example to be followed by the entire universe. You will receive Grace Siddhi when your heart becomes the example that all universes should follow. Then you will receive this gift and become the biune body of God. Great Sages who received this gift were Vallalar and Thirumoolar.

Namaste Tripuraghnaji, thanks for connecting the dots so wisely for us. In Lalitha Saharanama 584 - “Mahavidhya” why does Sri Bhaskararaya Makhin in his commentary translate it as Vanadurga ? What is the esoteric relationship of Vanadurga to Sri Lalithambika ?

Namaste. The answer to your question is in Khadgamala itself: 'akhilāṇḍa koṭi brahmāṇḍa nāyike'. You can worship any deity within the Shri Chakra. All Mantras, Yantras and Tantras are contained within the Shri Chakra. Lalitambika is the Mother of the entire World and all the deities within the Shri Chakra are her children at play. Within the Shri Chakra there are deities of varying natures and extents of power and the game can become very dangerous for the universe itself when deities like Sharabha and Gandabherunda start playing at fighting each other. Lalitambika is not very directly involved in these issues. Generally, subsidiary deities who care for the balance of the universe. The extent of Sharabha and Gandabherunda's power is no joke. When the Yoni of the Shri Chakra is in the inverted position, all Lalitambika's children have great freedom to play, just as you too have free will to some extent. When the problem of Sharabha and Gandabherunda arose, it was such a serious problem that it could not be resolved by ordinary means. Then the Yoni of the Shri Chakra was reversed and Lalitambika became a very stern Mother called Maha Pratyangira. In this form she pacified not only Sharabha and Gandabherunda, but also the entire Shri Chakra which is the very form of the multitude of universes, deities and beings and each of their respective worlds and powers. Maha Pratyangira fixed all the damage caused and restored balance to every part of the universes. She is the Supreme Guardian of the Innumerable Universes. When all else fails, she is the last hope. She was born to be Perfect Justice and the one who can oppose all the powers of Shri Chakra when it goes out of balance. Lalitambika cannot have the same severity as Maha Pratyangira, otherwise her children will not be free to play. So Lalitambika and Maha Pratyangira exist simultaneously in the universes for the sake of play and balance of the worlds.

Namaste, do I understand correctly that Lalitāmbikā, Mahā Pratyaṅgirā, Guhya Kālī are actually one, they are all different forms, manifestations of the Great Mahāśakti, which is one and plural at the same time? What is the difference between Mahā Pratyaṅgirā and Atharvaṇa Bhadrakāḻi, is it true that Pratyaṅgirā is satisfied with a person who has received Grace Siddhi? Thank you.

Namaste Tripuraghnaji. Since you have been talking about Pratyangira Devi I wanted to ask you this; What really happened when Lord Narasimha went out of control and set out to eradicate the tamo guna from the universe? What really happened between him and Lord Sharabheshwara? And how and why Pratyangira devi intervened? What really happened during these series of events? I would like to know the true story if it is possible for you to say. Thank you.

"The below Hākinī mantra should be recited with the focus on the crown sahasrāra gateway" - I believe that should say "Yakini"

"Nyāsā in the ten petalled lotus of the svādhiṣṭhāna (sacral) cakra." I believe you meant to say "six petalled"

The Lalitā Sahasranāma 999 says: Śiva-śakty-aikya-rūpiṇī. This name is mentioning the 35th and 36th Tattvas. The 37th Tattva is the Parāśiva or Lalitāmbika state. Paripūrṇānanda Parāśiva means Absolute Bliss, Truth and Consciousness. It is an epithet for Lalitāmbika which is Sat-cit-ānanda and Parabrahmasvarūpiṇī.

Viniyoga says at the end 'śrī mātā devatā'. This is the first name of the Lalitā Sahasranama and it means the Pancadasi Mantra. So Lalitā is saying, "she is me, literally." This Khadgamala is loaded with information. It seems to be great to worship her in Satya Yuga, but in Kali Yuga it seems to be a little tricky to see her making your enemies cry simply because they cursed you. The problem is if these people are friends or people you love. They are not perfect and they can make mistakes with you. I wonder if you would be able to bear to see Pratyangira hit your loved ones hard if they wronged you. They are not perfect and it can happen. That's why I said it's hard to lead a normal life worshiping her. At least you don't have these problems in Satya Yuga.
