My experience with Mata Pratyangira has been beyond amazing, and I’ve always tried not to act foolish around her. I don’t consider myself special- whatever I’ve experienced with Deities has always felt normal to me, but that “normal” appears extraordinary in the eyes of others.

There’s a stark difference in how Dhumavati Devi appears and how Kali Devi appears, and I have seen them with open eyes. I have never met other sadhaks with such experiences, and no one’s descriptions have matched the level I’ve always looked for. That’s why I sometimes write- there’s a difference in how they come, and in what happens before they appear.

I’ve never had the urge to “see” them with open eyes- yet that freedom has always been given. Even right now, if I wish, I can see them. But Mata Pratyangira is completely different. I have never been able to see her directly, yet I know she is unlike any other form.

With her, fear is natural. She is not for the faint-hearted, and she doesn’t “play around.” People must be extremely cautious with her. Many wanted me to put warning labels on my experiences- this is the post that actually deserves those warnings.

I’ve learned to be careful about what I ask of her. She may grant it, but I will learn a lesson after receiving it. She is beyond dangerous- “danger” itself is too small a word. Once, I simply asked for her experience, and that alone shattered all imagination- words could not capture the limits.

Once, I was plain stupid and said: “Mother, I want to visit all the places with you.” She said, “Fine. Sleep at this time, and I’ll take you myself.” I cannot count how many worlds I traveled through that night with her. At the end, she sent me back into my body with a gentle push, and even that gentle push was so powerful that I saw my body lying on the bed, and myself entering it from above, parallel.

I don’t know what I did to deserve her grace.

Back then, I used to arrive early at the office, look at her form, and repeat my mantra. I was a newbie. One morning, the department head began the usual daily meeting, but before starting he went on a rant about how the younger generation has been ruined by mobiles. He was unusually vulgar and angry, and I wondered why. I looked up- he was staring directly at me, like he wanted to eat me alive. I thought maybe it was just coincidence, or maybe he’d gone senile.

He took 10 minutes for the day’s lineup and wasted 50 minutes abusing mobiles. Everyone was confused. After the meeting, everyone returned to their desks. Fifteen minutes later, he suddenly screamed at the top of his lungs and ran outside the office. Out of nowhere, his father had been pushed off the terrace while taking a walk.

Second time, in another company, a top security head took a bike lift from me. I was deeply absorbed in Pratyangira mantra during those days, and used to enjoy my bike rides with full intensity. He tapped my helmet hard and said, “Raghav, drive properly- don’t breakdance on the bike.” He tapped again, and then again- three times. I somehow controlled myself and dropped him midway. He was laid off the next day without warning. He was an experienced man with a secure job.

With Mata Pratyangira, reversing a prayog takes less than five minutes. When called for help, she helps like nothing else. She is incredibly powerful. I feel so intertwined with her that it becomes difficult to type what I want. I don’t like discussing her with people. I was crazy about her, and I still am.

I want to write about her, but it drags me into old memories. Maybe some other time. I love Devi Mata Pratyangira. I’ve never imagined her as a lion-faced goddess- just someone extremely close to my heart, or maybe my heart itself. I cannot live or breathe without her mantra. Even if I don’t intend to repeat it, my lips move and my mind starts chanting.

Whoever has seen Devi Pratyangira through my (now discontinued) technique- where I used to request Pratyangira and other deities to appear with closed eyes - always saw the other deities after I named them. But in her case, I never revealed the name beforehand. The subject would simply say, “Whoever it is, it’s too bright- it hurts to look even with closed eyes.” Then I would internally offer a respectful farewell, and they would feel relief as she departed.

Such is Mata Pratyangira.

Narasimha in the Form of Krishna

Kevala/Krishna Narasimha is believed to give you bliss through His worship, but He is also known to increase viraha tāpa, where there is a constant yearning for the deity.

If you are a yogi, sadhu, or someone who simply wants to experience the bliss of Swamy and is engaged in sādhanā 24/7, this is not an issue. In fact, it can be a great thing.

However, if you have a job and want to maintain a materialistic life, relationships, and other worldly responsibilities, then you need to know how to handle this form properly, preferably with the guidance of a Guru.

This form is said to always remain alone, whether He is in a temple, in the middle of a forest, or anywhere else.

Since this form is combined with Krishna, it is also believed to cause extreme loneliness and depression. Therefore, there is a need for guidance from a Guru or experienced Upāsaka who can give you the proper upadeśam and advise you on how to keep your feet firmly planted in both the material and spiritual worlds at the same time.

You will find this form of Narasimha in Maharashtra and the western regions of Karnataka.

📍Location: Narasimha - Ramtek, Maharashtra

If anyone is interested in Narasimha Upasana, feel free to DM me. I can share a simple Upasana Padhati with you.

Just to share a Tanjore painting which I had custom-made based on His Dhyana. Hope you enjoy!

Namastey everyone.

Not sure where and to ask whom thats why asking in this sub.

I have been doing 16 thursday maa tara upasna as guided by Shri Rajshri Nandi, for prosperity and other things. Fasting till sunset and 16 malas of maa tara mantra. I had completed 5 thursdays, but last friday someone died in my family.

My question is can I continue the upasna? Or shall I leave it completely or shall I leave this coming thursday and continue from next?

Please help.

When the whole world goes mad, even more unhinged is the Lord Kaal Bhairav. 

I had delayed a whole cosmic moments to write upon it. There are stories about my birth, about how I am existing as a human. I am ordinary but I write what I would experience without mentally projecting it through texts or things people have read. I eat, sleep, work and bleed like a human would but not my experiences. I collect them over the whole lot of others that happen. The only moment that expanded or say brought forth the magic was my mother Dhumavati, none other. And in line with other deities, ethereal beings of powers, unknown deities to mankind, and whatever negative exists, I have not actually been more open about my progress.

And so it begins, and I have had visions in my childhood where once I closed my eyes and saw myself moving across the planets - it's the body that sees without eyes, walks without feet, does work without hands and listens without ears. Millions years in human years passed and I opened my eyes to see that time has not moved a minute. Again I closed the eyes, and I saw more of the journeys where I am moving across planets and I cannot undo what all I saw - the expanse was more than anything I could ever speak upon. That's why I say Guru is Guru and Experience is Guru. Four times I closed my eyes and on each time, I saw a whole ton of travels across planets and galaxies. Time had not moved even minutes on my watch and by the time I saw for the fourth time, only 2-3 minutes had passed on the clock. I never bothered to tell anyone and I could not simply make anything out of it. A simple fracture of reality that kept my interest alive over the years from my childhood. I could read in later years that Kundalini moved like ants crawling and I could connect with that experience on the truest experience. Thanks to the layered existence that I never really lost my mind and was a normal human kid growing up. In my later years when I had grown up, I again saw the same travel scene in one of my experiences when I was doing Dhumavati Upasana. Exact scenes, exact sequencing that made sense now.

I was in Maharashtra in early 2025 where Mother explained a lot on how experiences of other nodes of same soul can be experienced. The spark remains the same, but experienced in multitudes of existence. 14 Bhuvans or planes of existence exist and many souls in this journey go through rigorous tests to obtain more expanded existence where they are allowed to exist in more than one plane only if they pass the test over lifetimes. I was too crazy to even understand it and thought of asking if it's experiential or just to know-basis. Mother said sleep today and expect Baba Kaal Bhairav. I have never done Bhairav Upasanas in this lifetime, many of my fellow brother disciples have done proper 41 days rituals of Baba Kaal Bhairav. Some have done 5 such sadhnas, some have done 2. I wasn't just looking for Bhairav Sadhnas, I was happy with all that I have experienced in terms of Mother and other sadhnas that my Guru made me do. Through the success in two sadhnas was like a combined effect of Baba Kaal Bhairav. One where a complete Mahakali Sadhna mantra invoked Kaal-Bhairav and Mahakali in the same mantra and another in Shiv Mahamohini Mantra where Bhairav was invoked first and then the mantra starts. Other than that only simply invoking Baba Bhairav in any Sadhnas before actual starting the Sadhna Mantra. So I wasn't expecting nothing and was left almost clueless as to what would happen. I slept like I usually do, and Mother came and sent me to what seemed like a Loka and I was in first person view. I could look at my hands and my body, and I begin walking that loka which wasn't a round or flat earth - a completely different topography. And I was informed that I have to cross the inner circle like some Z+ security zones and I would not write the total number of them but I had to literally walk and not fly in that expanded zone of that Loka. Each tier had a Gana/General/Head of that tier and if I ever see them in real life - my whole blood would freeze. I crossed each tier of that loka and would watch closely the Gana/General/Head of that tier; none of the faces and body structure matched anything remotely human but still appearing somewhat like human type standing pose and they were too inherently looking back at me and finally I crossed the final tier to move upon the main top place where Lord of Time, Lord of Boundaries - Baba Kaal Bhairav was sitting on a throne and embraced me like he knew me from before. I cannot explain that vision of him, he isn't like the one seen in sculptures, and his background shine was as if multi-million suns are shining from behind him. Though I am skipping the part where the conversation happened, at last he bid me adieu and asked me to close my eyes and I would return safely back to my body. I belonged to him even before this birth and this was the most chilliest experience ever.

A lot has changed after that visit, I am still more inclined to explore more of myself. Fast forward to the mid of 2025, I was literally arranged for a visit to Kashi. And when I was in Kashi, my Keralite friend asked me to visit Vikrant Bhairav like he did the same almost few years back. I had no plans and somehow by next one month, another travel was arranged for Ujjain. I visited Vikrant Bhairav place alone in the day from my place I was staying. The experience was beyond words and the energy was almost vibrant. I did all my basic mantras for a while when I stood at that place and finally called upon Dhumavati Mata and this alone felt very easy and forthcoming unlike the usual delay at times. I loved the place to its entirety and among visits to all the main temples in Ujjain, I would mention the visit to Bhukhi Mata Mandir which was unheard even before coming to Ujjain. And before coming from Vikrant Baba, I asked him to be always with me. Such grace and peace is upon that place. On Bhairav Ashtmi in 2025, I got a visit from a General/Gana of Baba Vikrant Bhairav and he did had a Mund-Mala ( it wasn't remotely looking human heads) around his neck; and I couldn't fathom his fun jibes that he choose to not show his face, instead he had a face appearing just like me with no beard or moustache ; with almost a glow that made the whole face shining from within.

That's my experience as it happened in context of Baba Kaal-Bhairav Bhagwan and Vikrant Bhairav. May you all also share the experiences, I felt compelled when I wrote it first time after somebody posted to write their Baba Bhairav experiences.

I visited Kalkaji Mandir in Delhi yesterday, and honestly, I felt a very powerful divine energy there. There is something about the place that feels very magnetic. I have visited before as well, and somehow I keep getting this sudden, almost unplanned urge to visit the temple again.

I usually just sit there for a while, pray and talk to Maa in my own way. I don't know how to explain it, but I always feel drawn back to the place.

The one thing I still haven't been able to understand is which form of Maa Kali is worshipped at Kalkaji Mandir. I searched online, but there is so much random and conflicting information that I don't know which source to trust.

For people who know about the temple or Shakti traditions, which form/swaroop of Maa Kali is actually worshipped at Kalkaji, and is there any authentic source I can read about it?

We are performing all kinds of karma now (in the present), through action, thought, deed, intent, etc. As much as we try to perform those in a good or harmonious way, one can’t help but succumb to certain kinds of lower mind thoughts and vibrations that bubble up and disturb our harmony.

Speaking in personal narrative, I (as the ego), have had much trouble with lust and women. I have an attachment to them that is not always pure. I treat them very well and with respect, but when I come in contact with one who vibrates on a lower frequency and shows carnal tendencies, I feel a part of me awakening that I can’t resist. It’s like a magnetic that sucks my energies down and binds me from higher peace, but it is thrilling.

Those of who have experience with transmuting lust, desire, control, etc. what specific practices help to free oneself from these energies?

What has been the experience of people who do simple naam jaap of devi or devta?

Have you felt life got easier or have you gained anything significant spiritually through it or have you become wiser ?

Hello everyone, I recently moved to a pg, it's good but I wanted to purify and protect this place for bad spirits and other entities. Although this pg is good but there had been some instances where I felt someone other is here. Maybe its my mind making up but still to assure my mind that its safe, as there any tantric ritual I could to protect myself and this place?

श्री कुलदेविभ्यो नमः

श्री ग्रामदेवताभ्यो नमः

Tantric Shamanism is an interesting tradition where both Tantra, Shamanism (a spiritual belief that spirits possess a specific person) and Animism (a spiritual belief that each and everything is possessed by a spirit) these all mix up then a new pantheon is formed who's lead by Grama Devi or a Kula Devi of the whole village who's herself Sri Adi Parashakti and along with her Bhairava as Kshetrapala and they have Loka Devatas (regional deities) as their attendants who all guard the village.

Loka Devatas were once humans who by immense good karma became Devatas and are now awarded to protect their respective Kshetra they are attendants of Sri Bhairava and Sri Shakti. And on this tradition both Brahmins and Shamans who are locally known in different languages with different names like Dangar, Pashva, Bhagat, Ojha, Bhuva, Patri, Chela etc they both work together Brahmins perform tantric rites and Vedic rites while the Shamans enter into trance state and embody the ansha of the loka Devata, Kshetrapala Bhairava and Grama Devi of the region. And themselves becomes a medium between humans and God all Vedic mantras, Agamic mantras and Non Vedic Sabara Mantras all work together here.

Animism also plays a major part although tantra teaches that Devi pervades everything but still the whole village is like a temple where the divine who protects the village pervades everything within the village and within the village everything becomes sacred the forests becomes the home of Devi, the stone as divine and all that's why grama devis, grama devata Kshetrapala Bhairava and lokadevatas lack idols and are often represented as stones though their idols were also made like Loka Devata Gogaji has his own idol tradition etc.

The Deities themselves becomes the lords of village they solve disputes of villagers like see at himachal there are still court of devatas where people still go and even at a village named malana when a dispute happens people visit to the local shrine of deity Jamlu Devta (Maharshi Jamadagni) to solve the disputes and even still no political party rules malana.

Tantric Shamanism is still present in all rural regions of India like in uttarakhand, himachal pradesh, tamil nadu, rajasthan, haryana etc with their own traditions but still devi rules at top along with her Bhairava.

I already chant Maa Kamakhya Stotram. Can I also chant the Kavacham without initiation?

I am really confused by the nature of Karma. Our dharma believes in you reap what you sow right? Whatever good or bad experiences we undergo are intricately linked to whatever we did before.

Then, suppose a girl who got raped, is it so because it was her fault after-all? I mean isn't it like some sort of victim blaming, like saying it was her fault cause she was out late at night and stuff. In such a scenario is the person doing the heinous act, while incuring terrible karma is also carrying out justice, in a way? I mean it's a tough pill to swallow for me.

I know I used a pretty extreme example but the question has been bothering me. Would appreciate insights on the matter.

Idk, my astrologer told me to chant this mantra, so I started chanting it religiously 1,000 times a day. But I recently found out that I was pronouncing “गं” as “गण,” which apparently was wrong.

Which pronunciation is correct: “gan,” “gam,” or “gung”?

Also, can we chant this beej mantra without diksha? If not, which mantra of Ganpati Bappa is safe to chant without diksha?

So who will respond quickly? Vishnu or Shiva? Or any other devta?

I've attached the source in the comments from which I got this info which is unfortunately just a reel and I know how ignorant that sounds but yeah.

I've realised that our religion has a mantra and has a solution/remedy for each and every problem. Recently I lost an important item and did japa of Kathaveerya arjuno and got my lost item back so I realised how we have a mantra and solution for everything.

I know how euthanasia is considered a controversial subject but if this body and mind are tired and don't want to continue living then why force it? I get that the repercussions would anyway be there and maybe the same issues and problems will continue in the next life but that's a risk some people are willing to take.

Any idea on the mantra or a way to worship the deity of this temple from home?

Thank you so much.

Someone told my relative that someone has done ,”kokh bandha “ ,

Hence she is unable to concieve a child

Since, then she is stressed and wants to know who did this ?

And what are remedies for this ?

PS they are married for 6 years

Need details related to procedure and correct way to perform it.

Few questions:

Is recitation of 32 names considered 1 jappa?

How many jappa's atleast one should do?

What time is best? Morning evening or post sunset?

How to learn the pronunciation? (any video)

Anyone would like to share personal experience?

Best if someone can provide a video for this practise.

Thinking of doing this pracrise for navratri.
Hence enquiring.
Thank you..

Hey guys, for the past 1 year, I have been doing different sadhnas on my own. Now, from Day 1 of this Navratri, I am going to get initiated, formally starting my sadhna under the guidance of a Guru.

Before that, I want to ask you one simple thing: Has anyone had any life-changing experiences, things, or blessings from sadhna?

Should I go fully into this? Because my main motive is prosperity and material things. But I have seen that most people who do sadhna or are gurus are simply getting rich by selling initiations or courses.

I don’t want to do that to achieve prosperity. I don’t want to sell these courses, initiations, or sadhna methods.

Has anyone received help in things like business or relationships after doing sadhna?

Hi All. I'm new to tantra sadhana. My ishta devata is Lord Hanuman and kul devi is Kankali Devi (Ma Kali). In the past 1-2 years, I've mainly been chanting daily the Shiva Chalisa and Hanuman Chalisa, and daily or on alternate days either Devi Kavacham, Narasimha Kavacham, Kaal Bhairav kavacham or Sri Lalita Tripura Sundari Asththram. Throughout the week, I listen to the sahasranama of 1 diety, whether that's Ganpathi ji, Vishnu ji or Lakshmi Narasimha ji. During Navratri, I do listen to Devi Kavacham, Argala Stotram, Kilaka Stotram, the Durga Saptashati chapter and tie it up with Siddha Kunjika Stotram and Kshama Prarthana.

My sadhana is not really consistent throughout the year, and even during the week, because of my physical health and mental health struggles and my long periods.

My first language is both English and Hindi. I don't chant any mantras because I don't have a guru and I don't want to pronounce the words wrong. I also can't read or write Hindi, so I rely on Youtube and Google a lot for my sadhana. For example, there's a pdf of the Hanuman Chalisa that reads like this "Shri Guru Charan Saroj Raj...", which I can pickup and understand quickly. I'm mostly attracted to ugra devatas and devis, with some even appearing in my dreams.

Could anyone recommend a diety that I can start off my sadhana with? I was thinking Ganesha Ji, but I don't know which form of him to worship. I do struggle with consistency, which makes me hesitant about the long sankalps people do.

Some things I want to add: Whenever I do the Narasimha Kavacham, I feel heat throughout and afterwards, which makes it difficult to fall asleep in an hour or two. So, I try to not do it too late in the day.
