A few questions on DM on Mahavidyas.
To take an analogy from a FB friend.
Mahavidya sadhanas (especially the Ugra Devatas) are like swimming in an open ocean (unlike your swimming pool)
The ocean can batter you quite badly.. although if lucky you may escape safely.
Out of all Mahavidyas, Shodashi, Bhuvaneshwari and Kamala are reasonably Soumya in comparison..
In the sense that you can with some guidance of an Uttara Sadhaka do them somewhat without as much danger as is attended by other Mahavidyas...
The sadhana of the widow, Chinnamasta are the most dangerous.... for various reasons.
While success guarantees all sorts of things with both sadhanas, failure can mean all sorts of hardships...
In general,
if one feel that you believe Death to only be a comma and are happy to trust your fate in swimming a choppy ocean, then you can think of doing this.
If not, be exceedingly careful, because very few exist with the knowledge of pulling you out of the deep hole..

Many have asked about Diksha mantras vs non diksha mantras.
Since I have some experience of both, let me elaborate:
With non Diksha mantras what happens:
Initially, the mantra is being done and no real discernible effect is being produced in the consciousness, surroundings or your life.
(Perhaps one picked up the mantra from a book... etc)
Depending on what anusthana you are doing and what number, literally nothing happens. This is especially TRUE if Brahmacharya is non existent..
Nothing happens for days or even months.
A small photo of the all night consecration ceremony which took place in 2017 at the installation of the Mahavidya Baglamukhi by me (and a battery of priests who know the full process) in the first house temple in 2017 Sept Navratri.
Wonderful memory:

In this age, many often feel that the Devi does not exist.
But let me say that not only does She exist but Baglamukhi Mahavidya is the most wonderous impossible force of compassion in this Universe.
Her puja may be done BUT do Her sadhana only under competent advice.
You may have read this thread I posted on the dangers which come upon those who are not going to complete impossible niyamas associated:

17 references out of which some in chapter 1 of my free book point to war in Kaliyuga: Madhawacharya tradition etc also says the same.
Worth reading for Dwapara Yuga Mahabharata enthusiasts! 😂😂🙏🏽🙏🏽: astronomyofindia.wordpress.com/2020/04/07/new…
Why is daily sadhana important?
Why is Sandhyavandana important?
Why is daily knowledge of panchang important?
What is the reason behind control of every single aspect of life in Hinduism?
Slow thread.
Sandhyavandana done daily will take you around 12 minutes. Over 10 years, done everyday, that’s 365 x 10 x 12 minutes 43,000 minutes of sadhana. Over 40 years and for those doing more malas of Gayatri, it’s way beyond.
What’s the power of that sadhana.
It takes around 3-4 months to get into a daily routine for sadhana.
That is the hardest part. Once done, the power of a simple sadhana like Sandhyavandana once or passes 10 year mark can completely nullify almost any basic kritrima attack of spirits.
One of the things which one should NEVER ever do without some serious expectation of diligence and serious Niyama is sadhana of Baglamukhi... (especially if it’s prescribed for destruction of enemies... )
From someone who has installed Her in this form at home.
(Why?) Thread
The Devi Baglamukhi is a Mahavidya who is considered as a Siddha Vidya.
Her sadhana has a particular krama and step by step Upasana has to be performed:
Ek akshari - 1.25 lakhs + homa 1/10th
Chatur Akshari - 1.25 lakhs + homa 1/10th
Etc/then Bhakta Mandar mantra 9 lakhs + 1/10th+
+ Contd.
Finally, one needs a Diksha of 36 akshari mantra.... from one’s Guru.
This mantra comes in 3 main forms.
DOING THIS MANTRA PRIOR TO OTHERS IS NOT ADVISABLE.
Anusthana is 13/21/31/41 days in a particular direction with particular diet. Brahmacharya if u don’t want to die
Sometimes the greatest illiteracy comes from labelling what we cannot perceive not understand as superstition or blind belief.
Questions to ask oneself: 1. Can you see bacteria/viruses with bare eyes? If not, then how is it mentioned in Mahabharata and Ramayana?
Thread
Many progressives label following of vratas as superstition.
Same will happily go back 10 km home if a black cat crosses their path.
Is the first one superstition because you are not familiar with the will power contained within a human mind?
Any sadhana when done over a long period of time (and if other variables are favourable) will give results.
Problem is if you don’t try to do it and cannot follow through with it for a long period... then how do you know what the depth of perception of another person is?
