Hi sir, What should a person do if he is continuously getting the thoughts of renunciation and leaving this world? He couldn't concentrate on anything, always heart beats at 144. Always worried about something, no peace. no success in anything. Can he follow his mind and leave?

Thank you Sir. You posted a prana pratishta method for the Uchhista Ganapathi puja in one of your articles regarding Uchhista Ganapathi, which seems complicated. Would you mind posting a simple prana pratishta mantra to invoke Mahaganapathi into the turmeric Ganapathi after the dhyana shloka?

You have to say Shri Mahaganapati avahayami, etc by chanting dhyana verse. It is like invoking during pujas. During Samkalpa, you have to hold rice mixed with turmeric powder and a bit of water (known as akshata) and then take the samkalpa.

Thank you for this. Please explain how to invoke Mahaganapathy in the turmeric Ganapathi. Is there a need to use 'moola mantra with avahayami' to invoke Mahaganapathi or would the dhyana verse enough to do so? Secondly, during the sankalpa, do we just say the sankalpa or do we have to hold rice with turmeric in right hand and place on the left palm? Kindly reply ASAP.

His elephant trunk is holding the jeweled pot and the seeds of Creation, that are being showered on the entire Universe. He as the Creator is spreading the seeds of Creation and as Preserver, showering the Universe with bounty. All other weapons are tools that help with the process of Sustenance and Destruction/Transformation.

Dear Krishna, if you don’t mind indulging me in one last question, I promise )) It seems that I have incorrectly shown the translation of one word. And now I’m arriving to 11 items that Ganesha is holding, which seems to contradict with the fact that one of his hands should be holding Siddha Lakshmi. Here’s what we have: bījapūra >> (1) pomegrante gadekṣu >> (2) a club, kārmukarujā >> (3) sugarcane bow; cakrābja >> (4) cakra = chakra and abja = (5) lotus; pāśotpala >> (6) pāśa = noose, (7) utpala = blue lilly vrīhyagra >> (8) rice plant svaviṣāṇa >> (9) his own broken tusk ratna kalaśa >> (10) a pot of jewels karāmbhoruhaḥ >> kara = hand, (11) ambhoruhaḥ = lotus sapadma-karayā >> here we have another lotus which is being held by Siddha Lakshmi (that’s one of the ways to translate it, or as you said, it can be said that he has lotus like hands) Did I miss anything?

You may recite the atma-bīja that was given to you by your guru and then proceed with this kavacam. You may approach your guru to obtain the initiation for Mātaṅgī Devi and then recite this kavacam. Please visit the 'Mantra Initiations' page for more information on initiations and you may choose any one in the list for a remote initiation, if you are unable to obtain this mantra from your guru.

Namaste Raviji or Krishnaji, I want to know if I can add the atma-bija to this Matangi Kavacham. I would really like to receive initiation in this mantra. Will it be possible? Who can I talk to about this? I'm in Argentina. I guess there's no Sri Vidya lineage here. Thank you very much for your guidance. Harih Om Tat Sat
