Namaste, what tantras deal with the iconography and visualization of the nine forms of Kali ?

Namasthe, The lord of mountains, Shiva, is my ishta devata. Just taking his panchakshari gives me goosebumps and often i prepare a linga with soil to worship him. I wish I could get initiated into any mantra deeksha of Shiva. I pray to Him often for this- I get tears of joy taking his name. I know that initiation into a mantra and doing a mantra with nyasas is much more efficient. Is there anyone who can initiate me into a Shiva mantra or panchakshari? I pray often that I should have the guidance of a guru like sri ramakrishna paramahamsa and mother sarada devi who can take me into their stride and guide me. By his will, I could worship him through solah somvar rituals twice despite severe trials and tests along the way. Just thinking about the lord moves me into a different state of devotion. By the will of him, I once received kunjika stotram while in Ujjain many years back and recited it several times. My music teacher gave a mantra of neela saraswathi or Tara devi on a grahanam day, though I was not taught nyaasas, I used to do it daily and slowly learnt about the motherly love of the goddess Tara and began being fond of her. By her will, a great gurubhai introduced me to my guru by the will of Shiva and I've been initiated into uchishta chandaali (matangi) mantra sadhana and later into soubhagya panchadasi. I do feel like I must do the sadhana more regularly and more dedicatedly.

Is there also a mantra of Poorna Sodashi? What’s the difference between Poorna Shodashi and Maha Shodashi.

Don't waste time on this. In the Shakta Tantras, the goddesses are usually associated with the Tithis of the Moon, and not at all with the Grahas.

Namaskar. Why does no one pay attention to the fact that the Mahakala Samhita is not of Indian origin? In Indian Kali-Kula and Sri-Kula, this Samhita is not used, but they know about the goddess Kamakalakali and worship her. So Kamakalakali must have some other Mula Mantra, from purely Indian Tantras. For example, the high-ranking indian Kali Tantra states that the Mula Mantras of all forms of Kali should be modeled after the standard Dakshina Kali mantra, which is not at all like most of the mantras from the Mahakala Samhita... Also, please quote that passage from the Mahakala Samhita, where it is stated that there should be a Bhuta Bija in the Kamakalakali mantra.

Could you please share the mantra Sir?

Namaste Tripuragnaji, I have come across references to Kubjika Devi as the queen of PaschimAmnAya. Scholars say that this is a highly secretive vidya/practice that is followed by Newar Hindus in Nepal primarily. In India her worship is said to be mostly forgotten. How does Kubjika Devi relate to Guhyakali, Siddhilakshmi and Maha Pratyangira/PurnaChandi ?

Namaste Tripuraghnaji. I just had a doubt with the part saying "mama vañcitam̐ kuru kuru " ; Is it not "mama vāñcitam̐ kuru kuru" instead? Also the part "candrakalāvadham̐sini" ; Is it correct or "candrakalāvatam̐sini" is the correct one? Could you please help clarify? Thanks. Regards.

Thank you for your response Tripuraghnaji. Asking this just to understand better. You said, "The intelligent devotee must know that he will become the deity he worships before reaching the final destination". My understanding here is, please correct me if I am wrong, if the devotee becomes the diety, won't the devotee cease to exist? Or will there be enough ego remaining just to sustain/preserve the worldly identity of the devotee prior to becoming the diety? Is this the same as the analogy of a river merging with the ocean and becoming the ocean while ceasing to exist as a river? Pranaams.

Namaste. Am I correct in understanding that when a devotee becomes one with his favorite form of God, he sees that all other forms of God are manifested through his Ishtadevata? And there is no longer any need to worship different forms, because his chosen Ishtadevata manifests like all other forms? Example: The sun has innumerable rays, each of us can follow our favorite ray, but when we reach the sun and become one with it, then we will see that all other rays are inseparable from the sun and one with it, and we could have come to it by another ray (worshipping another deity). Another example: If one worships Bala Tripura Sundari, first as a mother, then as a friend, and then becomes one with her, at that stage the devotee will see that all other deities manifest through Bala Tripura Sundari, that Bala is Durga, Lakshmi, Kali, Shiva, Ramachandra, Lalita, that She contains all forms and is all of them at the same time. Am I understanding this correctly? Tripuraghna Ji, you said that the last stage, when the devotee becomes one with the chosen deity, is in other words a kind of love for God, when God becomes the devotee's lover (Krishna, Shiva...) or beloved, only in such a relationship can both become one? When a devotee achieves unity with the chosen deity and all other deities manifest through him, for example, even Guhyakali manifests through Bala Tripura Sundari? Earlier you said that Guhyakali is beyond Parabrahman. Thank you very much for your answer! Realize how merciful and kind the Divine Mother is to her children, allowing us to choose the form of Her that we like best, but still, whatever form we choose, She will lead us to Her and manifest all other forms through it, and we will realize that we have not lost anything by not worshipping other forms.
