Please follow the directives of your guru and not Mantra Mahodadhi or any other scripture or even this website or what I am advising you! The word of the guru is absolute in Tantra. Self-initiation is not recommended, unless you have no other option left and are very serious about mantra japa. Note that the effectiveness of a mantra is greatly diminished, if not properly initiated by a practicing guru. Please check the Ugra Tārā section and you may find the mantra from Mantra Mahodadhi. If you have been initiated with the mantra from Mantra Mahodadhi, then follow the same as instructed by your guru. It is not advisable to mix and match from other mantras, unless there is a procedure mentioned in the scriptures that was previously followed by someone (Ṛṣī) and validated.

Both Śrī Lalitā and Śrī Durgā devis are forms/manifestations of the Divine Mother Śakti. Both are equal and one and the same. They can also be treated differently from a tantra standpoint and accessed through their own set of mantras and prescribed rituals such as yantra worship etc. Śrī Pratyaṅgirā, by definition is beyond the normal ̍aṅgas (parts) of Śrī Lalitā, but yet, by extension (prati) She is the same as Śrī Lalitā. You may treat Śrī Pratyaṅgirā and Śrī Lalitā as two similar entities manifested by Śrī Guhyakāli for all practical purposes. When you probe deeper and have a deeper understanding of the Divine Mother Śakti, everything would be revealed by Her and the Truth will dawn upon you.

Namaste what is the difference between LALITHA and DURGA. Between the two that is ADI SHAKTI. I read that LALITHA is PRATYANGIRA but PRATYANGIRA is not in the 1000 names of LALITHA

Sree Mathre Namah In one of the scriptures, I remember that as 'Mantra mahodadhi' instead of the beeja "sthreem" the beeja used is "threem"... And I understand both versions can be followed.. My question is can we replace "sthreem" with "threem" in the nyasas mentioned above? Pls suggest. Sree Mathre namah..

It is best to use what comes with the mantra. If there is not much success with the mantra, then this can be deployed as a means for removing the curses and expediting the mantra fruition. Generally speaking, a stotra such as this, should be recited once on a daily basis. Durlabh Stotra Saṅgraḥ is the source for this stotram.

Namaskar, Can this be done with any mantra for how many days? Should we do it before the mantra and its procedures. Which tantra shastra is this from and does it have a yantra with it ?
