It is essential to obtain a guru who can answer the questions and guide you properly on the Puraścaraṇa ritual. Note that it is 10,000 japas offered as āhutis (offerings) in the homa. The entire process is conducted in a ritualistic manner establishing various maṇḍalas, invoking Agni the fire Lord and then joining Agni with the essence of the deity, before the offerings are made in the fire.

For purascarana — is it 10 000 homas? If a one homa ritual per day, purascarana takes 28 years! Or do you mean 10000 mantra recitations during the homa?

Thanks for sharing this knowledge with us before Navaratri! Can you please tell more about the glory and majesty of Durga, is there any basic mantra to worship her for spiritual growth? Is it necessary to worship the full form of Durga - Guhya Kali for complete good or is it enough to worship Durga in the form of Durga? Thank you very much for your reply!

Pranaam Tripuraghnaji. Thanks for this wonderful explanation. Are there more forms of Maa Sidhhilakshmi other then the one with 5 faces & ten hands?

There is another evidence of Durgā's proximity to Guhyakālī. In the Pūrvapīṭhikā of the Guhyakālī Sahasranāma, Mother Devi says to Mahākāla: "O master, please tell me now the thousand names of goddess Durgā." Then Mahākāla starts reciting the names of Guhyakālī. After reciting the thousand names, Mahākāla appoints forty-six names which when recited bestow the fruit of the entire recitation of the Guhyakālī Sahasranāma: "...caṇḍayogeśvarī caṇḍī caṇḍakāpālinī śivā ॥ 1 ॥ cāmuṇḍā caṇḍikā siddhikarālī muṇḍamālinī । ..." I brought this fact up because it seems to be very little known by devotees.

A worthy devotee once asked the venerable Atharvana Bhadrakali what was her most terrible Mantra. Then she Pratyaṅgirā laughed uncontrollably and furiously said the Mantra: khphrem̐ mahācaṇḍayogeśvari !!!! ॥ Since then this is the Mantra responsible for all death in the universe. The power of death arose from this Mantra. Power that is used by all terrible deities.

It is a little-known fact that Lord Rama's Kula Devata is Divine Mother Guhyakālī. But wouldn't it be the Divine Mother Durgā? The answer to this question is that the complete form of Durgā is Guhyakālī. How can I prove this to the readers of this site? The incomplete form of Durgā is called Caṇḍī and the Navārṇa Mantra. The complete form of Durgā is called Pūrṇacaṇḍī. Who is Pūrṇacaṇḍī? Divine Mother Pūrṇacaṇḍī is called Siddhilakṣmī with the Navākṣarī Mahāvidyā: om̐ hrīm̐ hūm̐ hām̐ phrem̐ kṣrom̐ krom̐ namaḥ. Who is Siddhilakṣmī? She is also called Mūlapratyaṅgirā. Who is Mūlapratyaṅgirā? Divine Mother Mūlapratyaṅgirā is called Mahācaṇḍayogeśvari. But who is Mahācaṇḍayogeśvari? She is Bhagavati Guhyakālī herself. Divine Mother Tripurasundari Parābhaṭṭārikā is also present in Siddhilakṣmī. Divine Mother Siddhilakṣmī is the meeting point and combination of the powers of Guhyakālī, Durgā, Pratyaṅgirā and Tripurasundari. She is very terrible but hides it. Divine Mother Durgā is a very frequent subject among Guhyakālī devotees. The power set in motion with Śrī Siddhakuñjikā Stotram is Guhyakālī. Divine Mother Durgā carries the power of Guhyakālī secretly with her, even in forms that raise no suspicion of it. Divine Mother Devi is difficult to understand, but I tried my best to try to explain it in words.

Sir, in Ṛṣyādi Nyāsaḥ, doesn't "sauḥ - sa ka la hrīṁ" be as Shakti and "klīṁ - ha sa ka ha la hrīṁ" be as Kilakam? As 'sa ka la hrim' is the shakti kuta and ha sa ka ha la hrīṁ is the kama raja kuta ? thanks in advance

Offer any food grains or any other food offerings of your choice and give that away to birds and/or animals.

I stand corrected. Vanadurga Saptaśati was published by the Kañci mutt many years ago and is not in publication anymore. It has now been republished in Telugu and available to very few selected individuals. I will try my best to obtain a copy. If there is anything that you would like to know from it, please let me know Lorran and I will do my best to get it for you.
