In the past a devotee asked me about Kāmakalā. I told him that he can understand and experience Kāmakalā by observing the changing color of the sun during the day. The sphere of the sun is the Bindu of the Shri Chakra. When the sun sphere becomes red/orange, this is the Red Bindu and Shakti. When the sphere of the sun becomes golden, this is the Golden Bindu or Ardhanarishwara (balance between Shiva and Shakti or union between the Red and White Bindu). When the sphere of the sun becomes white, this is the White Bindu or Shiva. These three colors of the sun also mean Agni, Surya and Chandra. There is a prevalence of Red Bindu or Shakti during the night, where its peak is midnight. There is a prevalence of White Bindu or Shiva during the day, where its peak is midday. The apex of Golden Bindu or Shiva-Shakti (Ardhanarishwara) is the periods close to sunset and sunrise. The Golden Bindu is extremely powerful and its schedule is very auspicious. Anyone who is eligible to look directly at the sun during this period is hypnotized and goes into a hypnotic trance. He understands that Shri Vidya is not just to be lived in theory but in practice. The phases of the moon during the night represent the inverted triangle below the Bindus. The three kutas of the Panchadashi Mantra which are made of Nitya Devis. The seed of Lakshmi (Shri) is omnipresent and hidden during all nights and days and is all pervasive in the Shri Chakra. Shiva is day and Shakti is night. Looking at the sun during inappropriate periods leads to the destruction of the devotee, given the destructive nature of Shiva. It is the Mother (Shakti) who shows the face of the Father (Shiva) to the son (Devotee).

Lastly, there is the aspect of Kāmakalā Tattva called Anuttara (Beyond). The period of the day that it can be experienced is Brahmamuhurta.

Normally this is performed by chanting out the mantras when the water is offered. You can do so mentally if you wish to.

The trisandhyam (three times at dawn, noon and dusk) is generally recommended for most people. The midnight "Turiya" is normally reserved for advanced practices directed by a guru or as per the requirements of the mantra/Stotra. Rātri sūktam is meant for night time chanting and is said to be very beneficial for wealth, health and peace. In today's times, most people recite mantras or stotras whenever or wherever they can. Try and follow the norms as best as you can, but the time that is most convenient, should be preferred for mantra chanting.

Thank you for pointing out the mistakes. These have been corrected. The IAST version is correct. The Devanāgari had the additional bījas that have now been removed.

Very beautiful stotram, thank you Krishna Ji. So many stotram is effective on three sandhya, or more often is on dawn. But which stotram of Devi is effective on night time? Nowdays so many people very busy, many of us only have night or even before sleep to chant a stotra. Which stotra of Devi is have many benefits and we can chant it on night? (Even the stotram mention it, chant it on night time)?

Dear Krishnaji & Tripuraghnaji, Thank you very much for this. I have noticed one thing: 9. Kādi Anuloma Viloma (कादि अनुलोम विलोम) - The sanskrit version here has additional hrillekhas. The english version seems to be correct. Please correct it if it is wrong.

Hello sir, should the reciting of the 444 mantras be done silently, just as the way Mahaganapati Mantra Japa be done? Thank you.
