The aspect of Śrī Mātaṅgī in Śrīvidyā is Śrī Śyāmalā. They are practically the same, while the mantras and stotras differ. Based on the initiation received, one follows the specific line of worship. We will surely publish the Aṣṭottaram of Śrī Śyāmalā Devi also, in due course of time. --Krishna.

namaste krishna guruji! I recently happened to come across shyamala ashtotarram. and what I have been hearing from people is they use the word shyamala more than matangi in the srividya cult . what is the difference between shyamala and matangi. and why do they have separate ashtottaras and sahasranamas. please clarify! If possible please publish shyamala ashtottara stotra soon ! would be helpful to have a wonderful commentary to know more about the glories of raja shyamala ! regards

Pranaam Krishnaji, Is there a Japa Vidhi for Ekakshara "Streem" Bija Mantra Sadhana?

Śuka-priya. She transforms her greatest devotees into a Guru. She bestows the power called Parā-vaikharī. The unique power to understand the truth and express it by any means (word, writing and others). Through this power the Guru has knowledge of all that is known, unknown, lost scriptures, mantras and much more. Only a Guru has this power. All Gurus are parrots of Lalitāmbika because they are spreading the truth. Hence the devotee must have unshakable faith in his Guru. The Guru's word is final.

I share the previous question that I don't believe was answered. Some sources give : trikāgni-kālāya kālāgni-rudrāya, while others have : trikālāgni-kālāya kālāgni-rudrāya The difference is between trikāgni and trikālāgni.

You can interpret the śloka as - "O Devi, The Divine celestial surās meditate upon the Divine Mother Tripura Bhairavī, while partaking the five 'M's (pañcamakaras) and remain in spiritually intoxicated bliss. May the devotees of the Divine Mother also recite this stotra and perform the necessary rituals on a regular basis, to obtain Her auspicious blessings and live prosperously." Why should the Divine celestials indulge in pañcamakaras when they are elevated beings? The answer lies in looking deeper into the metaphysical aspect of the pañcamakaras constituting the organic body, bliss inducing cerebral nectar (amṛta), basis sustenance and the need to swim across the karmic ocean of cause and effects to gain the ultimate realization of the Truth about the individual consciousness, being nothing but a part of the super-consciousness and the need to evolve and merge completely into It. The surās are in deep contemplation of these aspects and in unison with the Divine Mother. --Krishna.

देवीं ध्यात्वा सुरां पीत्वा मकारपञ्चकैः प्रिये । पूजयेत्सततं भक्त्या पठेत्स्तोत्रमिदं शुभम् ॥ २१॥ Krishna guruji in bhairavi ashtottara shatanama stotra .what does this " suraam peetvaa " mean .? Please clarify. I know it has nothing to do with alcoholic liquor. But confused..and if it is being referred to spiritual liquor, when one has attained bramhanananda what extra bliss can that liquor bestow if consumed.? This is always confusing and misleading especially when understood in the literal sense. To devotees of dakshinamarga , what does this phalashruthi mean to say ?!
