1)There in vagbhav kuta, awastha is “jagrat” and corresponding Kaal is future. Why is it not present kaal when we are in jagrat awastha?

For madhya kuta awastha is “swapna” and there the Kaal is present.

2) in the same table under ‘subtlity’ column, there’s antar-atma/ inner being and Atma/conditioned self. I understand conditioned self or jivatma. What’s antaratma?

Thank you Maa🙏🏻

Not that I can’t get good sleep, but sometimes I set the alarm to only get sleep for 45 mins – 2 hours and take naps at other times of the day if I have to. At 46, I am still working like a college student… although no complaints – I find my work deeply meaningful and aligned to my purpose. We are trying to cut down on my workload but realistically it will probably take at least 12 months to get there.

I have been wondering if I am even allowing time for Maa to enter the Turiya state inside me. 🤔 I know this kind of lifestyle has health impacts, but what is the spiritual impact Maa?

1) If someone suddenly lashes out at you or used to, how do you ensure your PPMV remains unaffected by their tamasic energy in that moment? Do you follow any specific practices in your head at that moment or rituals afterward to cleanse and protect your aura? I usually go in the freeze mode.

2) When anticipating a conversation with someone of tamasic nature, what do you do beforehand to keep your PPMV balanced and prevent their energy from influencing you?

We generate 60,000 to 80,000 thoughts per day, meaning our Para and Pashyanti states are constantly active. Some thoughts naturally get expressed as reactions (Madhyama & Vaikhari activating), engaging the lower mind and touching the lower realms. Given the strain this puts on our energy, I KNOW I am not doing enough sadhana. I am truly surrendering to Maa Lalitha and you  and not stress about the data here. Maa, if you ever think about starting a bootcamp/boarding school for the Mind, I’m in the line first please. 😆😘

Last question, when I go to temple or even in my family, I have seen some ppl who does regular chanting, sing etc but they seem not balanced in their head and seen them so reactive to life and never happy about what they have and show gratitude. Is it because they are on autopilot so now even the mantra is not working at its best? How does one make sure not doing sadhana at autopilot?

PS: Btw, when I saw everyone was so quiet, I thought the class must have been tough today!! 😂

Thank you so much Maa!!! ❤️😘

One part of the practice is a system of “cleansing”… where you consciously focus your awareness on taking out the negativities that you have accumulated during the day. I started getting these big “burps”… not the typical ones that are due to acidity but something like a popping of air in the space between my heart chakra and vishuddhi chakra… so much so that they sometimes continued for more than an hour. The friend who had initiated me into the practice could not explain it. Initially there was a lot of “popping” and even when I started doing the mantra japa, I continued to have it. Over time, it reduced and now I don’t normally get it, but I do notice it on days that I am under stress.

Just a couple of days ago, I was trying to help a couple friends of ours sort out their personal matter and I realised that there was so much negativity that my system also came under stress. I sat for japa and did one mala before sitting with them for dinner because I thought that maybe if I have food with so much stress trapped inside, I will end up internalising it. And then again I had a lot of popping during my japa.

I wanted to ask you what this is… is it some kind of auto-cleansing mechanism that releases negative energy trapped inside? I do feel better after it every time.

Panch dasi mantra I just started chanting and the mantra just takes over u … it reverberates within very deeply … doesn’t leave u

It seems so so so powerful yet the mantra syllables are so simple

1) what are the 16 modifications of the mind and desires
2) do the sahastranama of male gods also invoke the same  kind of Prana and energy as Lalita sahastranaam
3) Maa .. at times I hv seen that the bondage  of desires are so strong that they don’t let the souls exit the very sick body also
How  the desires become stronger then the soul’s power

You mentioned in this lecture that the proportions of Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha in a person’s life are predetermined by the soul’s destiny. You also explained that these four Purusharthas add up to our karmas for the current or next lives. Additionally, we’ve also learned that to break free from the cycle of karma, one must surrender all the karmas at the feet of God.

My question is then – when someone consciously chooses to offer all their karmas to the divine (based on the proportions of Purusharthas their soul has destined for them), is that choice of surrender in itself predetermined by the soul? Or would it be considered an act of free will? Perhaps this question comes from my ego, as you say, and we may not even bother about it – but still curious! 😛
