Tripuraghnaji, namaste. I wanted to get your thoughts on Annapurna Astakam by Adi Shankaracharya. I suspect that this strotra has deeper significance and is a tantric work disguised as a strotram. Somewhat similar to Saundaryalahari in that regard. Namaste!

Don't worry. You are not missing out on anything. If it is the wish of the Divine Mother, you will learn all of Vedanta, Siddhanta, Yoganta, Bodhanta, Nadanta and Kalanta in a single day. I've seen this happen to a devotee who didn't know how to differentiate between left and right. This phenomenon is called "grace". You don't have the time to learn the plethora of knowledge individually. Human birth is rare to achieve. So it is wiser to focus on the source of all knowledge which is the Divine Mother and Divine Father.

What about Lord Vishnu? He, whose mercy is in no way different from that of Lord Shiva, bestowed upon mankind the supreme mantra of Dattatreya which does not depend on any initiation: dattātreya hare kṛṣṇa unmattānandadāyaka । digambara mune bālapiśāca jñānasāgara ॥ What more needs to be said about his capabilities to destroy all human afflictions? He is equal to Lords Dakṣiṇāmūrti and Ucchiṣṭa Mahāgaṇapati. The Gods and Goddesses are so kind to humanity, but they won't force people to trust them. That depends on people's devotion to them.

Namaste Tripuraghna ji. Thanks for your answer. I am not worried about planets. But as an observer of karmic account, can't ignore them. This is just for my study to understand life movements.

Hello Guruji, How the Verse-4 subtly conveys Bālā mantra - aiṁ - klīṁ - sauḥ? Can you please explain in details.

Namaste Mnx. Don't waste time worrying about planets. Hand this responsibility over to the deity you worship. Even Lord Siva, in his infinite mercy, bestowed upon mankind his five-letter mantra (Namaḥ Śivāya) which destroys the bad effects of all planets at once and makes them all favorable. Planets is a concern that people should have forgotten a long time ago, especially with the knowledge of high deities like Ganesha, Shiva, Vishnu, Krishna, Durga, Mahavidyas and others. People still suffer from this because they don't trust the deity they worship or focus on multiple deities.
