Bālā Tripurasundarī... alone this playful child can make your life the most beautiful fairy tale and in the end lead you to her mother (Lalitā). Her mantra alone can pierce all the Chakras until it reaches her mother's abode in Sahasrāra. By surrendering and playing with this child, you easily get everything you want and are released in the end without obstacles. By giving your soul to her you will be able to have a dialogue at any time. If you wish, you can ask Bālā Tripurasundarī to initiate you into any mantra of her mother, even unknown ones. Only if you want and are curious to know. Bālā makes everything seem easy and child's play, even liberation. Sometimes all you need is to dedicate your entire life to a single deity or mantra with complete devotion. Sometimes you don't need to complicate things...

Just as the lowing cow follows the calf so also the goddess shall follow her devotee who has sought refuge in her. Blessings.

I have not come across this yantra to the best of my knowledge. I have not practiced this mantra and have no further information. You may lookup on purnanandalahari.org to see if they have the corresponding yantra and vidhāna for practicing this mantra. Whatever we publish here is not to be practiced by yourself, but is only presented here for knowledge purposes. Any mantra should be practiced only after obtaining the same from a practicing guru. So my advice would be to find such a guru who is practicing this mantra and is well versed with all the associated procedures.

The very foundation of Śrīvidya is the Bālā mantra. The mantra is capable of making one as rich as Kubera and also liberating one by granting mokṣa. This reference is directly from Mantra Mahodadhi, a magnum opus of Tantra. There are some mischievous or misguided people parroting some nonsense without any factual or scriptural references. Whom you choose to follow, is totally up to you. It is not necessary that one should follow Śrīvidya to attain material and spiritual emancipation. There are many other deity mantras that can be followed to achieve the same objective. It is necessary to always have a proper guru to guide you along the path.

Thank you for sharing the secrets of Śrī Sampatkarī. The meaning of the mantra and your explanation have caused immense joy to me and I am certain the same would also be experienced by other sādhakas. Please continue to light the path of Śrīvidya with your immense knowledge and dispel our ignorance. Once again, please accept my heartfelt gratitude for all the knowledge you share with us. May the Divine Mother shower Her choicest blessings upon you and may we all learn more from your deep insight!

Getting initiated into Śrīvidyā would be the ideal platform for learning and reciting this sacred Stotram. If that is not something you are keen on doing so, then I would suggest studying the meanings of each of the attributes and getting a better understanding of the hymn, the purpose of life etc, which would then prepare you for the recitation of the Stotram. There are an overwhelming majority who blindly recite the Stotram without bothering about the meanings or other suggested pre-requisites and they do so with devotion. You may choose what works best for you.

I have heard that there exist Āsurī Durga yantra in Orissa manuscript of Āńgirasakalpa. Could you be so kind to tell also about the corresponding yantra for Āsurī Durga?

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.
