Namaste Tivra ji. Many thanks for posting about Goddess Sidhhilakshmi. I just love Her. Do we need to worship Her with Purna Chandi mantra only or Her Sri kula mantra too? If possible please guide more about Her worship. I did japa of Arutperun.. some months back. Maa appeared more clear. Though I want to write more but something is stopping me. Pranaam.

Namaste Dearest Tivra. Thank you for the profound explanation and guidance. It totally makes sense why this mantra is extremely powerful. I was at my work place when I read through this comment and a customer called insisting on making a payment that was not due yet, but he wanted to pay right away, despite me telling him that it was not due and a pre-payment is not necessary! It just reminded me of what you mentioned and the Divine Mother expressing Herself through you and the experience I went through!

There are other stotras of Dhanadā, Kubera, Gaṇeśa and Lakṣmī that are easier to recite and gain benefits from. I would recommend going through those than the highly esoteric tantric kavacas that have a lot of prerequisites. This particular stotra requires an initiation in the krama of Śrī Kāmakalākāḷī, associated Ṣoḍhā nyāsā, Āvaraṇa pūja etc. Getting to Kāmakalākālī itself is a navigation through the lower Kālī forms and gradual progression towards the higher forms.

thank you

The five faces of this Goddess are Siddhilakṣmī, Kālasaṅkarṣaṇī, Guhyakālī, Kubjikā, and Pratyaṅgirā. Her upper face is Pratyaṅgirā, from whom emerge Atharvaṇa Bhadrakālī Mahāpratyaṅgirā and Viparīta Mahāpratyaṅgirā. From the face of Guhyakālī present within Siddhilakṣmī emerge all the forms of Guhyakālī. From the face of Kālasaṅkarṣaṇī within Siddhilakṣmī emerge all the forms of Kālasaṅkarṣaṇī. From the face of Kubjikā within Siddhilakṣmī emerge all the manifestations of Kāmakalā, such as Mahātripurasundarī, Kāmakalākālī, and all the others. From the principal face, which is Siddhilakṣmī herself, comes the substance called Sat, which bestows perfection and brings all these faces of the Goddess into harmony. The abode of Siddhilakṣmī is called the “Island of the Sun,” and she bestows all the forms of Lakṣmī that exist. What is the highest form of Lakṣmī? Aruḷ. Although Siddhilakṣmī is not herself Grace Śakti, she is that Supreme Goddess above whom there exists only Grace Śakti. Above Siddhilakṣmī there is no longer any differentiation into distinct Gods and Goddesses; there is only Grace Śakti, the Ultimate Goddess with whom every Śākta must unite. She is called Siddhilakṣmī because she is Mahālakṣmī, directly receiving that substance called Aruḷ. This gives rise to siddhi, whereby lakṣmī begins to blossom into an incomparable state of perfection. It is unfortunate that the knowledge concerning her is preserved in books that are neither open to the public nor freely accessible. This knowledge was locked away because human beings could attain through it a degree of perfection by which they would rise above all the Gods. For there is nothing above Siddhilakṣmī except Aruḷ, or Grace Śakti. She is everything: Kālasaṅkarṣaṇī, Guhyakālī, Kubjikā, and Pratyaṅgirā. And she is Mahālakṣmī, infusing herself with Aruḷ. Therefore, the abundance and prosperity she bestows are the greatest possible, and they never cease to increase. She is called Mūlapratyaṅgirā because all forms of Pratyaṅgirā emerge from her upper face, which is Pratyaṅgirā herself. Now imagine how terrifyingly formidable she must be, for she unites Pratyaṅgirā, Guhyakālī, and Kālasaṅkarṣaṇī within herself. Yet her ferocity is of the most beneficent kind possible, owing to the auspicious nature of the substance that she receives directly.

Sir...I would like to know can a comman person do this kavacham to fulfill material and worldly desires.

nasmte neeraj ji , three initial and sureshot sadhna which i also get to know from my gurudev which works as a brahmastra in this conditions i m suggesting u ; the order in which u should complete that's ur choice bt in total do it completely nd i m preety sure u r done with it....1200 shree suktam path ; 1 lakh japa/recitations of "shree kuldaivye namah / shree matre namah " any one ; 108 path of " tantrokt devi suktam" ; this is the solution of ur problem also as well as basic requirements also before any guru gives u diksha they recommend these 3 to complete in most of the cases as far as i know.... its not too much big also , if u cn do 20 shri suktam in mrng and 1000 recitations of shree kuldaivye namah in evening it will takes around 3-4 months only to finish and then u cn ask any shakt parampara guru to initiate into tantrik mantra if at all u r further interested in sadhna otherwise fr ur financial problems nd desires this much is sufficient.... apart from pooja do namjapa as much as u cn while working.. hope u understood what i m able to explain u.. all the best

Namaste amargi ji my sincere advice will be do not modify tantras rituals and tantrik mantras from ur understanding or from any other influence of any scholar's commentary on hindu dharma and tantra no offends to anyone ; that's why it is recommendable to get initiated by guru's although spiritual doubt may come that some compulsive desires r coming , not able to focus on dhyana ; some distractions etc etc and we cn discuss it here ; bt modifications without guru is not permitable at all this is what i learnt from my gurudev sriram ji ; if u r unable to find proper shakt upasaka/ guru u cn write to my gurudev fr guidance/initiation his contact is given on initiation page ; but my request is just avoid random fantasy of tantra ; u cn get proper guidance frm my guru sriramji ; he's the successer of raviji who was the founder of manblunder nd he has given light to many sadhakas too...hope u r able to understand what i m saying directly as well as inderectly too..... jai ambe amargi ji

Namste panday ji, thank you for your thoughtful answer. The reason i ask for 3 nitya devi as substitution devta was because of composition of 3 devta in navaran mantra i.e. is mahalaxmi mahakali mahasaraswati because navaran mantra might be not compatible with my body tattva due to certain body symptoms i experience when chanting it but the same don't happen with other mantra, my practice includes saptashati 3 angs (kavach, argala, kilak) as you know each presiding devta of these anga are same as navaran mantra so i was wondering if the same can be done for kadi panchdashi. The reason behind me being this engage in arul topic is due to personal query of what is the high principal or to be more precise what is highest freedom possible. Once i thought nirguna was highest than i got know para then para para, which lead me into deeper query of how much farther can we go para para para how many state of consciousness can be crossed. What is tīvra ji was explaining here i was by chance or grace of guru and mother found. something I was trying to find and it made very much sense. Every scripture say divine mother is incomprehensible, which to me sounds absurd. From my intuitive intelligence what i got to know is no body wheather of devta or devi although very powerful but has a limit or restriction and cannnot know divine in whole aspect. This was the reason i chose something difficult that i didn't even knew if it exists or Will I'll able find it, the desire to evolve as human and what is highest human can evolve. There also been a time when i thought many time what is above manidveepa i know it's irrational or maybe absurd to think but i couldn't shake of these kind of thought. To me every loka seem to be engaged in karma system one way or another. I want to reach the highest point then look down and decide if i want to stay or enter Nirvana/nirvikalp samadhi.
