Śrī Gaṇapati Atharvaśīrṣa, also known as the Gaṇapati Upaniṣad, was written by Atharva Ṛ ṣ i. It is one of the main texts of the Gā ṇapatya Saṃpradāya, a lineage adulating Gaṇeśa as the central divinity, thought to have become established in India from the 6th century onward. It is thought that a minimum of six groups of Gāṇapatyas (devotees of Gaṇeśa) existed, including one Tantric grouping centred on the worship of Ucchiṣṭa Gaṇapati [the Tantric form of Ga ṇeśa ], although relatively little is known about them. The Ga ṇeśa Upaniṣad belongs to a class of Vedic texts considered to be revelatory [śruti, ‘that which is heard’], and held to be without 'origin'. It is a manifestation of a particular 'Truth'. Atharva Upaniṣad is not meant to be read, but to be recited. The 7th verse of the Upaniṣad presents the Bīja or seed mantra of Gaṇeśa. The first perception of a mantra is held to arise from a human-divine contact of some kind; hence the first person to utter the...

Mātaṅgī is the ninth form of the ten Mahāvidyās, or the Daśa Mahāvidyās. The Gupta Navarātri of Magha and Aṣāḍha are attributed to the Mahāvidyās, with the Magha one being more so attributed to Mātaṅgī.   Apart from Kālī, Tārā and Ṣoḍaśī, less is known about other Mahāvidyās. Their origin iconography, mantra, yantra and subsequent lineages have been obscure due to their oral transmission, as well due to how their knowledge has evolved over time: from the Grāma Devīs attributed to fertility cults, to influences of Buddhism, and to the subsequent naturalisation of their lineages in the Indian diaspora abject to colonial and other invasive ethnic exposures. Mātaṅgī Devī vidyā is highly secretive. Each Mahāvidyā has their own sādhanās and their own lineages, but sādhakas of Mātaṅgī are rare to find, the reason being Mātaṅgī’s multifarious forms and depictions that are reflected through her various iconographies and upāsanās. In this short article, I will attempt to present an algorithm...

Veda, Āyurveda, Yoga, and Tantra algorithms offer blueprints to decode your natural traits and hormonal access, which are expressed across all domains of life - health, economics, career, and relationships.  The sound container of Lord Hanumāna (हनुमान) is immensely popular. His form and aura are worshipped for many material and spiritual gains with utmost diversity that parallel none. From his Bhakti (भक्ति) aspect of immense surrender to Śrī Rāma to the Tantric Yantric forms of Hanumāna (हनुमान) for receiving powerful Siddhis (सिद्धि), Hanumāna is one all-encompassing force that represents the epitome of algorithms of complete creation & complete withdrawal.  Hanumāna (हनुमान) is the most powerful of all, carrying the Śiva Tattva (शिव तत्व) within; yet he spontaneously surrenders to Śrī Rāma, not by choice or force or awareness of Śrī Rāma but through a process of complete withdrawal. Yet in his other forms he represents the complete purity of material creation balancin...
