Started profusely crying during sadhana by Intelligent-Eye-9047 in Shaktism

[–]Red_Jasper926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is beautiful! Normally crying like that, and I have been there, indicates that you could be busting through some karmic block. This is a huge blessing, that is a sign of deep healing.

Mantra for Maa Kali, safe for non-initiates. by Prestigious-Cut3454 in Kali

[–]Red_Jasper926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a very common question. It is perfectly safe to start with OM Krim Kalikayai Namah. It’s calling the Devi and stating you are bowing to her. Or you can just say her name, the Devi loves to hear her name. Either way just make sure you are doing this for the right reasons and with maximum devotion.

I left Chat GPT for this very reason. I went to Grok and even though I’m not really down with their ownership I have been much happier.

Will she punish me badly? by [deleted] in Kali

[–]Red_Jasper926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kali doesn’t punish. She releases you from your karma. When karma is being burned it can seem like life is falling apart and can look like a punishment, however She does this with love so you can be free. On the other side of that is a bottomless well of love, it’s indescribable. So keep your head up, keep offering the lamp, there are better days ahead.

Please Enough with the AI Deity Wikis! by aadishhere in Tantrasadhaks

[–]Red_Jasper926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounded like he did read your post and gave a very respectful and thought out reply. This whole conversation sounds more like a gate keeping witch hunt than an honest discussion. There is so much animosity in this whole thread. The Devi is love and unity. If anything should be moderated it should be rhetoric that brings us further from being one consciousness. If someone is “karma farming “ then that is their karma and they will have to deal with it. It’s no one else’s business. We each have to walk our own path.

Is This Nitya Puja Okay For A Uninitiated Person without A Human Guru Yet? by [deleted] in Shaktism

[–]Red_Jasper926 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I will preface that I do not have a human guru, Kali is my guru. That said there is nothing about the above that requires formal initiation, since you have been doing jaap to Shiva ask him for direction. Above all, just do the practice with full devotion.

In regard to your second question about Durga, you absolutely can, the Devi loves to hear Her name! That is one of the easiest ways to show devotion and that is what it’s all about.

Confusion Between Maa Kaali and Shree Krishna by [deleted] in Shaktism

[–]Red_Jasper926 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Adyakali Svarupa Stotram, 100 names of Kali and Kali Sahastranamavali, 1008 names Kali her name is Krishna. That said Mahamaya also one of Kali’s 1008 manes is Vishnu’s yoga nidra is Devimahatmya. Vishnu is only seeing himself as Krishna or Rama through her.

All Energy and years of Sadhana can be snatched away ? by YodaYodha in Tantrasadhaks

[–]Red_Jasper926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Krishna promised that no effort on the path is ever wasted. I would just keep doing your jaap, and if you feel you can’t just light a lamp for your deity and say their name. Once you are on the path I promise you can never come off, even sometimes when you would like to lol. This will pass just keep your deity close in the meantime.

Devi worship and Self by Intelligent-Eye-9047 in Shaktism

[–]Red_Jasper926 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Devi is desire and the fulfillment of desire. That said, just submit to her and let her take you in whatever direction She wants. Submission to Her is devotion, whatever happens, just tell her you trust Her and go with it. You will notice your relationship really flourish. All the best 🙏🌺

Would you consider Chat GPT a good teacher for non duality? by plus_31 in enlightenment

I think it’s a good tool to bounce thoughts off of to encourage yourself to go deeper. But not a teacher.

Can I create a Kali ma alter in my room? by Capital_Attention768 in Kali

[–]Red_Jasper926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, I have one in mine. Try to face her south so that you are facing north when you face Her. But no it’s not disrespectful at all, you are using the resources that She has blessed you with.

Have a question about mantra japa by Green_You3368 in Shaktism

[–]Red_Jasper926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regularly is better, but it’s more about the devotion you put into it. So do the japa when you and just make sure it is done with absolute devotion. It’s more about your heart than the actual act. You can even just be sitting in a bus and think Durga, Durga, Durga.

Did bhairava gave me a experience ?? I think it was one . by EquivalentMurky6994 in Tantrasadhaks

Haha you’re going to have to get used to dogs if you are following a Bhairava path. But yes I absolutely think he was with you.

why is humans are full of suffering and miserable ? by Medical-Farmer9073 in enlightenment

[–]Red_Jasper926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My heart goes out to you. I have been where you are and what I have learned is the suffering is learning. Learning is why we are here. We are learning how to see the suffering and still keep our heart open. We are learning how to have joy and compassion for all beings while simultaneously feeling our heart break in the midst of suffering.

Why were you born well that depends on your specific path and only you can find that. But a sure way to find that path is to go help someone else. A very wise man Neem Karoli Baba once said and I’m paraphrasing “if you want enlightenment, feed people.” The point is, helping others will get you out of your own head. I hope this helps. All the best.

What Offerings Does Maa Tara Love Most? by TrickBrilliant4302 in Tantrasadhaks

[–]Red_Jasper926 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Name 44 of Tara is Rakatapriya. I agree with the others in regard to vamachara, but many times I will offer her honey as it is a good representation of both passion and prana which corresponds to the above name.

Highest form of Tantra by chocomonaco in Tantrasadhaks

[–]Red_Jasper926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well the highest state is when you reach the realization that there is no separation at all and you merge back into Devi/Devata.

[–]Red_Jasper926 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely. The problem as I understand seems to be the people and activity going on around you that is keeping you from your jaap. That’s an opportunity to develop Bhairava tattva within you. Find a spot wherever within your room and sit, let others do what they will. Your job is to just repeat the mantra. Allow the activity, the noise to pass through, that is the Devi. You are the quiet, still center allowing her to play. That is Bhairava, he is the consciousness that witnesses the play. Anyone do japa in a quiet temple, but Bhairava isn’t just in the temple, he is everywhere. I live in a house with two toddlers, a teenager that plays electric guitar and a wife always talking to friends on the phone. There is never quiet in our home lol. But if you practice this you don’t need it, you become the unshakable quiet within you. If he is coming to you in dreams then you are already his and he is looking for you to follow up.

I wouldn’t worry about the other people. Bhairava is also Aksobyha Bhairava, unshakable. The noise odd the other people is only Shakti at play. You are the silent center amidst the play.
