Is it true that chanting bala mantra by men makes them unsuccessful and more female in nature.

Sampatkarī is worthy to be wielded by Lalitā. The bījas "hsauḥ shauḥ" form the incomplete mantra of Ardhanārīśvara. The bījas "hsaum̐ḥ shauḥm̐" form the complete mantra of Ardhanārīśvara with maximum potency. These should be used in the Sampatkarī mantra. Playful Lalitā and Kālī are sitting on the bīja "klīm̐". They are sitting there ready to satisfy every desire or crush every enemy or obstacle. The bīja "haim̐" is wielded to gain complete control and perfection (Siddhi) of the Śrī Cakra represented by the mantra "hsaum̐ḥ shauḥm̐". These two bījas signify the constant and cyclic expansion and dissolution of the Śrī Cakra in the Bindu. The bīja "hsaum̐ḥ" means the prevalence of the original desire of static consciousness (Śiva) over dynamic (Śakti). When you pronounce "hs", Śiva guides Śakti; when you pronounce "aum̐", the Bindu expands forming the Śrī Cakra; when you pronounce "ḥ", Śrī Cakra dissolves into Bindu. This forms the bīja "hsaum̐ḥ", where in the end the desire for dissolution (Śiva) prevails over the desire for creation (Śakti). The bīja "shauḥm̐" means the prevalence of the original desire of dynamic consciousness (Śakti) over static (Śiva). When you pronounce "sh", Śakti guides Śiva; when you pronounce "auḥ", Śrī Cakra dissolves into Bindu; when you pronounce "m̐", the Bindu expands again forming the Śrī Cakra. This forms the bīja "shauḥm̐", where in the end the desire for creation (Śakti) prevails over the desire for dissolution (Śiva). See how wonderful Sampatkarī is. The fruits of this mantra are the same as that supreme of Ardhanārīśvara (mentioned in the Kularnava Tantra). It really is worthy to be wielded by Lalitā.Complete control and perfection of Śrī Cakra and Bindu are assured.

Im still a beginner ,i really want to learn and recite Lalitha Sahasranama,can i chant /read it by seeing book.

Of the 25 names of Lalitāmbika, the most important is the last: Śṛṅgāranāyikā ! The devotee who fully understands this last name will not fail to attain Lalitāmbika. The meaning of this name is that Lalitā will never be attained by devotees confused and without constancy of concentration on her. She is impossible to attain by devotees who see all other goddesses and gods as different from her. When you see or worship other forms, you must remember the glories of Lalitā constantly. People need to understand that worshiping other forms of the Divine Mother by remembering the glories of Lalitā is the same as worshiping her directly. Worshiping Kālī, Viṣṇu, Gaṇapati or Sūrya (I know a devotee who attained Lalitā through Sūrya worship alone) while remembering the glories of Lalitā is the same thing as worshiping her directly and will lead to the same fate. This was the case of the great poet and saint Tulsidas. When Lord Kṛṣṇa came to him, Tulsidas said, "Lord Kṛṣṇa, I know that you are Viṣṇu in a different form, and I also know that you are in no way different from Lord Rāma; indeed you are the singular reality, but I prefer to see the form dearest to my heart, my Raghuvīra, my heroic Rāma." Hearing this, Lord Kṛṣṇa smiled and assumed the form of Rāma for him. In my opinion, Lalitā's direct mantra is the most difficult to bear fruit and the most effortful of all. She is not called Lalitā for nothing. She is a crazy girl driving us all crazy with her illusions and pranks, hiding and running from the devotee. That is why it is impossible for a confused person to reach her. Remembering the name Śṛṅgāranāyikā will keep the devotee focused.

Finding Mahā Pratyaṅgirā in Kali-Yuga is like finding water in the desert. You won't have better luck than finding out her name. An ordinary person who is perfectly good, full of Sattva and who knows Pratyaṅgirā is invincible. Pratyaṅgirā is always prepared to crush the pride of any being who does Adharma. No one is powerful before her. It doesn't matter if you are a Yogi or a Mahā Siddha, no matter how powerful you are, if you mistreat a single innocent person and that person invokes the name of Pratyaṅgirā, you are finished. One of her names is "Mahā Krūra" (the cruelest in fighting injustice). She won't tolerate you harassing someone innocent who knows her. Upon hearing her name, those people who do black magic against innocent people tremble in fear. If you found this site and met Pratyaṅgirā, you are very lucky. Call her name with devotion and you will be able to bring down any evildoer.

Thank you Krishna. Your answer is absolutely correct. I can say with certainty that the Divine Mother and Lord Viṣṇu are not happy with Vaiṣṇava Sādhakas who think and speak these lies. These kinds of lies reveal tamasic tendencies in the devotee and generate great sins. It is very dangerous to lie especially about Divine Mother Mahā Pratyaṅgirā who is the worst nightmare of people with tamasic tendencies. She is so aggressive in her action that simply by remembering her form and telling her your problems with sincerity, they will be solved. Even without reciting her mantras. These extremely powerful deities are too dangerous to approach without the care of a qualified Guru. This is especially true when it comes to Divine Mother Guhya Kāli who is the owner of the most frightening and destructive Nyāsa who places in the devotee's body 51 forms of Nṛsim̐ha and 51 forms of Bhairava holding 51 different types of Astras (weapons of mass destruction) . This is also true in the case of Kāmakalā Kāli. It was because of the Kāmakalākālī Trailokyākarṣaṇa Mahāmantra (18 syllables) that Rāvaṇa was able to capture Sītā by force. Obviously he got the karma he deserved after that. For lesser purposes it is better not to meditate on these deities at all, just thinking about their form invokes great power that you may not be able to handle. It is much better to approach Lalitāmbika with the help of a Guru. These other deities are for very advanced devotees and with the permission of the Guru.

A lot depends upon how much effort and struggle you are willing to undergo to perform sādhana. This particular deity sādhana is considered very powerful and there is a rapid burning of karma, which many cannot tolerate. I would not suggest this mantra as a starting mantra and instead would direct you to choose a much lower mantra to fulfill your desires and slowly nudge yourself towards spirituality. You may write to Shri Jayanth of Manblunder for further guidance and he might be able to suggest a mantra for you. Please write in detail about yourself and why you are seeking a mantra initiation etc.

Vaiṣṇava sādhakas quote some lesser known and accepted texts and claim superiority of their deity. The very purpose of Lord Śarabha was to calm Lord Nṛsiṁha and to remind Him that the purpose of His avatār is complete. The widely accepted Śarabha texts talk of a very fierce battle between these two deities and their battle was brought to an end by the mere laughter of the Divine Mother Pratyaṅgirā. If this were not true, then the world we know would have been completely destroyed by the fury of Lord Nṛsiṁha, who at that point of time was uncontrollable. If you look at the iconography of Lord Śarabha, you will notice that He holds Lord Nṛsiṁha in one of His limbs and takes Him to Kailāśa to reprimand and calm Him down. Lord Nṛsiṁha is one of my favorite deities and we as a Vaiṣṇava family have a history of His worship. It is our responsibility to reveal the Truth and not remain under a cloud of doubt or false beliefs. The task of destruction and transformation is associated with Lord Rudrā and is not the domain of Lord Viṣṇu. His avatārs become necessary when sustenance of the worlds is at a great peril and there is too much evil vs good. It can only be the command of the Divine Mother Guhyakāli, who is also associated with Lord Nṛsiṁha, to absorb any of Her higher forms into Herself and it is not up to the individual forms to eliminate themselves.

As I have said previously, this form of Lord Nṛsiṃha is very rarely worshipped and is exclusive to certain categories of Vaiṣṇava sādhakas. Vaiṣṇava mantras in general are not easy to obtain and they follow very strict lineage rules and everything is shrouded in great secrecy. In general, it is best to avoid extremely powerful mantras unless actively guided by a learned guru.

Thank you very much for sharing such a deep insightful revelation. We shall definitely treasure and incorporate these secretive aspects and the sacred knowledge of the Divine Mother in our sādhana. We keenly look forward to your guidance and knowledge to help all sincere sādhakas.
