Thank you, so you don't need to pronounce the letter before Visarga (ḥ), for example, Nam(a)ḥ(a), Viniyog(a)ḥ(a), Sa(u)ḥ(u)?

Namaste. There is only one way to pronounce Visarga (ḥ). The pronunciation of "ha" and "ḥ" are completely different and this goes for any hymn or mantra. Visarga (ḥ) is pronounced by letting only inaudible air escape your mouth. The mental pronunciation will come naturally if you pronounce it correctly. Remember that true practice only begins when you are able to chant mentally and still.

Namaste Swati. All things in the universe can be controlled, except the fury of a Mother protecting her children. Likewise, you can ask whatever you like, but I will omit anything that has the potential to hurt you in any way. The Divine Mother cannot bear to see her children suffering unnecessarily, there must always be a greater purpose.

Thus is explained as the essence and correlation between Panchadasi, Laghushodasi, Mahashodasi and Parashodasi.

This Mantra of Parashodasi is authentic and is part of the most potent and rare Nabhi Vidya (a procedure of recitation of 40 Mantras whose 100 recitations equals 1 crore of recitations of Pañcadaśākṣarī). Laghu Shodasi, Mahashodasi and Parashodasi represent, respectively: subtle, subtler and the subtlest. They are gradations that lead to a complete understanding of the procedure of evolution and involution. The sum of these two things (involution and evolution) leads to the absolute. The deeper meaning of the three seeds "om̐ hrīm̐ śrīm̐" is that from the absolute (om̐) all things and differentiations arose (hrīm̐), and to that absolute (om̐) all things and differentiations will return (śrīm̐). The "śrīm̐" seed has the power to pierce the Bindu of the Shri Chakra and dissolve it. The "hrīm̐" seed has the power to expand the Bindu in the form of the Yoni and the rest of the Shri Chakra. The seed "hrīm̐" has the power to "measure", "limit" a part of the absolute (om̐). The "śrīm̐" seed has the power to remove the limitations and measurements created by the "hrīm̐" seed. This being so, this seed (hrīm̐) is Lalitā's preferred seed. The Mantra Pañcadaśākṣarī where the three kutas end in "hrīm̐" is the epitome of Mother Lalitā's Divine beauty and playfulness. But Divine Mother Lalitā is not only immanent in all Creation (hrīm̐) she is also transcendental (śrīm̐). So the intelligent devotee should come to the conclusion that although Lalitā is transcendental, her favorite activity is play like this: ka e ī la hrīm̐ | ha sa ka ha la hrīm̐ | sa ka la hrīm̐ | All beauties, all pains and all divine games are within this Mantra. Therefore this Mantra is the heart of Shri Vidya. The devotee practices other Mantras for complete understanding, but the heart of Lalitā is the divine play that is Pañcadaśākṣarī itself.

Namaste! I would like to ask how to pronounce the Bala Tripura Sundari mantra ऐं - क्लीं - सौः aiṁ - klīṁ - sauḥ. Is sauḥ pronounced like sauhu or like sauh, as in the Namah Shivaya mantra? Thank you.

Mnx

May be questions should be asked. Because it's Maa asking. She Herself is answering. If questions of advanced level were not asked here, accomplished sadhakas like loraan, Tivra ji, Tripuraghna ji wouldn't have come here to note down Her replies. Let Her Leela go on.

Namaste Tripuraghnaji, I wanted to humbly request your spiritual insight on Mother Kurukullā कुरुकुल्ला. There is not a whole lot of information on her sadhana in the Hindu tantras, but she has extensive sadhanas in Vajrayana Buddhism especially Sadhanamaala and AryaTaraKurukullaKalpa. Pray share some light. Thanks

In fact, if a devotee wants with all his heart for God to come to him, God will come to him in a second, a day, a month or a year. We can't do that because we haven't purified ourselves enough to see the truth. Maya's power is very strong and we can't really see and love. In fact, love is born spontaneously as we purify ourselves. No effort is needed to love the Divine Mother. This love is born naturally as we purify ourselves. We purify ourselves by practicing Yoga, Meditation, Worship, Japa, Homa, Tarpana and others. Once that love is developed, all that is discarded because God comes immediately and will always be with us. True devotion and love are the most powerful things there are, but can you really feel it? Have you purified yourself enough to love and be devoted like that? In the beginning we cried to the Divine Mother in despair about how dirty and full of afflictions we are and asked for her mercy. "Mother, teach me to truly love." After we have purified ourselves enough, we cry with bliss, devotion, love. After that it's different. Billions of years of practice come to us in a quick loving remembrance of God. Because nothing can beat this: love and devotion.
