Namaskaram dear sirs. Please tell of the meaning of अं. My very limited reading of the Kamadhenu tantra says this letter/aksara is to be pictured yellow in colour, consisting of all knowledge, and has within it the three bindus and Iccha & jnana & kriya Śaktis, as well as five pranas and is MahāKundalini ( This is rough summary as there is no English translation). This description is obtuse and obscure to me. If it is possible, please provide clarity and simplification. The above info follows the system of Matrika, and perhaps of note, when the letters of Sanskrit alphabet are associated with locations on the body, this ‘am’ letter is to be thought of as on the [top?] of the head.

Unless you have been instructed to reverse the mantra during exhalation, you do not need to do so in the manner you have specified. Typically, make sure that you are comfortable with the abdominal breathing techniques before you align the mantra with the breath. When you align the mantra, typically the mantra recitation and breathing should be very slow. You should get yourself comfortable with the breathing. Any excess efforts may induce yawning and you would get distracted from the mantra chanting.

Follow as per the dhyāna śloka. The image will change for every deity as the dhyāna ślokas differ. It is extremely important that you get initiated into every single mantra that you wish to recite, especially if it's a tantric mantra.

Green clothing is suggested. You should follow the guidelines of your guru on all these matters, as their suggestions supersede whatever you read here and in other publications. The word of the guru is final in all tantra related matters. You can use the mālā of your liking. Rudrākṣa mālā is considered an all purpose mālā and can be used for chanting. A counter may be used in addition to a mālā to keep the number of mālā counts. For instance, if you complete the recitation 108 times on a 108 bead japa mālā, the counter can be adjusted to say 1. The counter can be adjusted depending on the number of mālā counts. Ultimately, if you perform 10 japa mālā counts, then your actual mantra count would be 10 x 108 = 1080. If you are using a japa mālā, consider consecrating it with the associated mālā mantra.

Is there any dress code for Matangi / sumuki / Shyamala Devi Sadhana? Is it necessary to chant with rudraksha japa mala or can we chant with a counting machine? Can we use a single Matangi Devi image to all Matangi / sumuki / Shyamala Devi sadanas or we have to change image of goddess according to the dhyana of each mantra? Thank you.

In Lalitopakhyana, Mahāvārāhi and Rāja Śyāmalā say to Bālā: “Why, o princess, have you actively engaged yourself in battle? Why are you suddenly despatched to the war front by the great queen herself? When the soldiers are present and ready, this is not proper. SINCE YOU, O GIRL, ARE THE PERSONIFIED LIFE OF Śrīdevī, recede from your enthusiastic participation in war. We are making obeisance to you”.

Namaste. In simple terms, Bālā has the predominant nature of Iccha Śakti, but in a more flexible and childlike form than the adult form of Lalitā. Every child is full of fantasies, but Bālā is an omnipotent child who can make her fantasies come true. Mahāvārāhi (Kriyā Śakti) and Raja Śyāmalā (Jñāna Śakti) are always close by to serve Bālā and bring balance to her childlike nature, forming the path of Iccha, Jñāna and Kriyā Śaktis. This does not mean that Bālā is just Iccha Śakti. This is not true. Bālā has Iccha, Jñāna and Kriyā Śaktis within her, but Mahāvārāhi and Rājā Śyāmalā are always around to bring balance to her childlike nature when needed. Bālā is the embodiment of Lalitā playful nature. Bālā resides within Lalitā in her adult form. Without Bālā the adult form of Lalitā dies and all nature will lose all beauty. All universes will die into emptiness if Bālā ceases to exist. The childish and playful side of a person should never cease to exist, but exist in a balanced way. A soul that has completely forgotten the childish side is not happy and loses all beauty. That soul is dead, even if it looks alive. Likewise, without Bālā, Lalitā would be a boring adult without beauty and all worlds would die.
