r/Tantrasadhaks

May Maa bless us all and give strength, intelligence and prosperity to progress rightfully in the best way she chooses for us.

Jai Mata Di 🙏🏻

Behind every dive back into ego, is a lesson in humility. Behind every action that goes against the truth, is a reverberation that brings me back to.

The past weeks have given me stress that turns into relief, into deeper realization of that which I could not, (more like would not), accept. What is and what is to be is decided, and is there for the purpose of our awakening. To have and accommodate experiences that let the "I" dissolve.

All goes back to a great void, persistent in its action and execution. Crafted with beyond expert precision, to dissolve or concrete my own ignorance.

Jai Maa, Jai Sri Gurudev Jai Aghor

May the blessings of Maa continue to bless us and push us deeper into reality.

Of what justice can words do to something profound beyond the profound?

my mom is telling me to start selling art but I am not that talented yet and I drew this purely out of my love for my mahakal 💕 I think I should improve cause it's mid for my age. I'm 18

This is a assumption I making and looking for guidance , stuff I am saying is from like 7-8 years ago I was kid so stuff might be immature just try to understand what I am saying

Few years back when I was like 12-13, I was a kid with hyper imagination and wondering mind and superheroes was all I could think of and from there (might sound corny) , hanuman ,krishna , mahadev i viewed them through the same perception, protectors and heroes that's how started to know them and with time I was attracted to them i would keep enacting them , the way they sat , pose , etc i kept telling my family I am hanuman or I am mahadev and I will save this world ( this is corny but I was kid bare with me for a while ) apart from this I had very average life , nothing extra ordinary, one day , a incident happened and it almost broke me(it's a bit personal ), that whole day I was in my head thinking about hanuman , krishna how they are so heroic and perfect and everything and how miserable I am , I wanted to be like them so much , that I was weeping i couldn't , hold myself , I was in tears , I left home went to the temple and I was begging to God to change my life these are not the exact words but this is almost what i said , give me powers like you , give me godly qualities like you , make me heroic like you , make me significant like you why do you always get to be the hero , why can't it be me , atleast during this lifetime make me like you , I was fighting and begging there in front of Krishna for like a hour it was so desperate I can't tell what was going in my head but I was saying everything I felt honestly, from that day i tried to do things like they did hoping he listened and my life would be changed

But It has since been that day that my life has been going down , i met the worst kind of community , got distracted, bad habits lost control of my health, impulsive, and things that would happen to me were like so comical that , people around started telling me dude you seem to have problem with God or something , I have social anxiety and I would always end up in a embarassing situation, humiliation was like everyday thing , I felt cursed like geniunely I was isolated, people left me cause I would like do something and stuff would go down , i am so scared and used to this I would get into accidents almost be unali*ed and I was so numb to this stuff that I would be unfazed , i literally do not trust myself now like I question everything that I do and i end up just doing nothing cause I was scared of messing everything up,

I started wondering is this because that day maybe the stuff I said I was not supposed to say?? maybe even as a kid it came as arrogance ?? Like who am I to say stuff like that to the God himself ?? Maybe I am overthinking this , but it could be a possibility if it is i am willing to like correct myself if if theres something I am supposed to do , I'll do it ,

And look i am not blaming god for everything, many are my own choices my own habits that led to my own problems but there are things I just can't ignore

If I am putting my head in the wrong direction, enlighten I am youngster , wouldn't mind guidance

I am a devotee of Maa Kali, and yes, I know I should let go of feelings of revenge because they are full of tamas and are the fastest path to self-destruction, but I can't.

– During my sadhana and devotional rites, the suffering they cause me is inhumane and full of cruelty. I know their karma has been paid, but I want to see them suffer. My pain is legitimate.

Not that revenge blinds/poisons, but I want my justice. I've been a victim my whole life, I can't take this suffering anymore.

Looks like a Buddhist deity, but the book is mainly Hindu.

>The term UFO really doesn’t mean much beyond its literal definition: something that is flying and hasn’t been identified. That’s it. Anything airborne and unidentifiable becomes a UFO. So yes, even otherworldly craft get labeled as UFOs simply because we don’t know what they are. First, we also need to tone down the word “alien.” A few months ago, the US deported people under the category of illegal aliens. That alone tells you what the word actually means—someone foreign, unfamiliar, or from elsewhere. In that sense, even humans are “aliens” to this planet if you look deeper. According to ancient knowledge, we come from different lokas and realms, but most of this understanding is obscured and largely forgotten today.

In remote places—near deep lakes, dense forests, or high mountains—people often see glowing orbs. Many of these are not machines at all but entities. Some are rishis; others belong to lower vibrational realms. Calling them “negative” is misleading—it’s not always about good or bad, but about vibrational state and intent. Those are not CRAFTS or SHIPS.

A lot of the so-called alien traffic around planets like Earth is constantly monitored by rishis. Any illegal entry or suspicious movement is dealt with. In many cases, what people see isn’t even a ship carrying beings, but an unmanned craft—sometimes created by rishis, sometimes by other higher beings.

Ancient civilizations like the Mayans and Egyptians didn’t just randomly appear. Certain groups of beings were allowed—under rishi oversight—to enter, settle, teach, and introduce new energies. Think of existence as having a Light Side and a Dark Side, each with its own hierarchy. I’ll only talk about the Light Side here. Its highest positions are held by rishis, and these roles rotate over time through consensus. This hierarchy isn’t limited to Earth—it spans solar systems, galaxies, and lokas. And the universe, as we know, is still expanding.

If this itself feels hard to accept, then consider this: there are countless realms even within and around trees, plants, and natural spaces. It’s impossible to cover everything, but it’s always worth discussing. I’ll share just one personal experience related to UFOs.

Around 1996, I was playing near a Rudraksha tree in a mountainous area. Everyone else was inside the house—it was afternoon, and I often stayed outside alone. Suddenly, I saw a disc-shaped object, about 12–15 feet in diameter. It looked like a saucer, ash-grey and metallic. It moved incredibly fast—gone in one to three seconds. In the center was a circular insignia with colors similar to Captain America’s shield.

What’s important is this: I didn’t even know who Captain America was back then. We only had Doordarshan on TV and a few Chacha Chaudhary comics during train journeys. I saw Captain America much later, after 2010. I’ve mentioned this incident on X as well, though I’ve never fully described the symbol.

The object flew about 20 feet above me. It made no sound, cast no shadow, and seemed impossible given the terrain—it appeared from a direction blocked by trees and descending hills, where such speed made no physical sense.

For years, I wondered what it was.

Decades later, during a discussion about the structure of the Dhoomavati mantra with a deity (I won’t name them), I asked whether samput was required to enhance the effect and how to properly channel the mantra more. While receiving answers, I suddenly remembered this UFO incident and asked about it.

The Mother calmly told me it was a rishi—from a specific place—and showed me an image of a man wearing something like a muffler around his neck. I had assumed it might be an alien or some being from another loka, but she explained that the rishi had created that object using mantras. It wasn’t really a craft—it was more like a disc-weapon, sent deep into the mountains to be removed from human habitation. Over time, it would dematerialize on its own. After that, the topic ended and we moved on.

Also, not all comets are comets. Some are crafts carrying rishis or higher beings. Such crafts act as protection against Dark Side interference. Even breaching a single protective layer can take eons. These crafts also prevent time distortion—different realms have different time flows. Advanced crafts allow rishis and their subordinates to travel without affecting the time of the place they visit.

These kinds of crafts existed even during Ramayana times, though modern depictions are often distorted. Rishis were the true scientists and researchers of ancient knowledge.

Even Lord Shiva has multiple types of crafts. To this day, he—along with his consort and certain Ganas (who are not foot soldiers)—visits Earth on specific occasions. It may sound unbelievable, but it is real. That’s why I won’t describe these crafts in detail.

Earth is not the only Earth. There are Earth-like realms across other solar systems and galaxies. Shiva is not limited to Sanatan Dharma alone—he presides over the entire expanding existence. Our realm is simply more blessed due to the blessings and boons taken up by rishis.

That’s all for now. Seeing is believing, and no one is obligated to accept or appreciate this. I’ve explained as much as I could, in as few words as possible. In your ever expansion of Tantra, you'll realise one or another day that Yantras can also be used it in a way to travel with your subtle body, or to direct intent to your visit.

Something struck me while going through some old texts recently. We usually think of the Sun as one deity with one job, giving light, marking the day and sustaining life on earth. But that's not really how the old texts talk about him. They call him omnipotent. Omnipresent. And the same lines that glorify Shiva, or Vishnu, or Devi, they just turn around and say, yeah, this is the Sun too. It's the same one.

Take Sri Rudram, or Rudradhyaya as it's also called. Before the actual hymn even starts, there's a whole preliminary section chanted called the Sri Rudra Laghunyasa, and it opens with a viniyoga line, basically an attribution line, that tells you who you're really praying to.

संकर्षणमूर्तिस्वरूपो योऽसावादित्यः परमपुरुषः स एष रुद्रो देवता ।
saṅkarṣaṇa-mūrti-svarūpo yo'sāv ādityaḥ paramapuruṣaḥ sa eṣa rudro devatā
"The deity of this hymn is that Supreme Person who is the Sun, whose form is Sankarshana. He alone is this Rudra."

Before a single verse of Rudram is even chanted, in this opening line of the Laghunyasa itself. Rudra is Aditya. Not similar to. Not symbolic of. Is.

And then there's Devi. Sri Suktam actually calls her by the Sun's own colour.

आदित्यवर्णे तपसोऽधिजातो वनस्पतिस्तव वृक्षोऽथ बिल्वः ।
ādityavarṇe tapaso'dhijāto vanaspatis tava vṛkṣo'tha bilvaḥ
"O you who are of the colour of Aditya, from your tapas the Bilva tree was born."

Aditya-varne. Same colour as the Sun. And it's not a one-off line either, because elsewhere she's described sitting right inside his disc.

भानुमण्डलमध्यस्था भैरवी भगमालिनी ।
bhānumaṇḍala-madhyasthā bhairavī bhagamālinī (Sri Lalita Sahasranama)
"She who dwells in the centre of the Sun's own disc."

His orb (SuryaMandala) becomes her seat, basically. So Shakti isn't off somewhere separate from the Sun, she's using him as her own visible throne, in a sense.

And Vishnu, well, that one's almost too easy. Surya's own name is Surya Narayana. Narayana. That's just Vishnu's name, sitting right there inside the Sun's name.

Okay but here's where it stops being "oh nice comparison" and becomes something a lot heavier. The Rigveda says:

सूर्य आत्मा जगतस्तस्थुषश्च ।
sūrya ātmā jagatas tasthuṣaś ca (Rigveda 1.115.1)
"Surya is the Atman, the Self, of everything that moves and everything that stands still."

Not a self. The self. Of the entire universe, moving things, still things, all of it.

And the Taittiriya Aranyaka doesn't even leave room to argue with it, it just says:

आदित्यो वा एष एतन्मण्डलं तपति । असावादित्यो ब्रह्म ।
āditya vā eṣa etan maṇḍalaṃ tapati, asāv āditya brahma
"This Sun who heats this orb, that Sun is Brahman."

That's from the Suryopanishad section of it. And it really doesn't say represents, or symbolizes, or points toward. It says is.

 

The jyotish side of it. In Vedic astrology Surya is called the Atmakaraka, which just means the significator of the soul. Every other planet handles something, the mind, money, siblings, whatever. Surya alone handles the Self. And that's not some invention astrologers came up with on their own, it's basically lifted straight from that Rigvedic line, atma jagatah. If Surya's the self of the whole universe, then of course in a birth chart he ends up being the self of the individual too. Same logic, just zoomed in.

And it goes even further than that, honestly. Surya isn't just one planet sitting among nine others. He's kind of the power source all the others plug into. The Linga Purana actually names seven main rays coming off him, and each one is said to activate a different planet. Sushumna activates Chandra. Vishvakarma activates Budha. Vishvavyacha, Shukra. Sannaddha, Mangal. Sarvavasu, Brihaspati. Svarat, Shani. And Harikesha activates the whole nakshatra mandala. So really, every planet's light is just borrowed light. It's Surya's light, just rerouted through whichever ray belongs to that planet.

Which is, honestly, exactly why astrologers do what they do when a chart is a mess. You know, heavily afflicted, nothing working, remedy after remedy for this planet or that planet just doesn't land. Eventually they stop chasing individual planets and go straight for Surya. Strengthen the Sun. Because if every planet is running on his energy anyway, fixing him is like fixing the main supply line instead of patching each broken wire separately.

So jyotish isn't really adding meaning to a planet here, it's just repeating, in its own language, what the Veda already said ages ago. Surya, Devi, Shiva, Vishnu. Not different things. Same light.

There's also the Shatapatha Brahmana, which comes at this from a slightly different angle. In its Pravargya section the Sun keeps getting addressed under different functional names, Yama, "the one who controls everything here," Prajapati, "lord of creatures," and there's this bit where he unites with Savitri and shines together with Surya in the ritual formulas of Vajasaneyi Samhita 37. Doesn't matter which function you pick, cosmic order, control, creation, it all loops back to the same Sun.

And then Vishnu comes up again, among the twelve Adityas themselves. Dhata, Mitra, Aryama, Shakra, Varuna, Amsha, Bhaga, Vivasvan, Pusha, Savita, Tvashta, and, yes, Vishnu. That last name isn't just borrowed for the list. Srimad Bhagavatam 8.13.6 says it outright:

अत्रापि भगवज्जन्म कश्यपाददितेरभूत् ।
आदित्यानामवरजो विष्णुर्वामनरूपधृक् ॥
atrāpi bhagavaj-janma kaśyapād aditer abhūt, ādityānām avarajo viṣṇur vāmana-rūpa-dhṛk
"The Lord himself was born here from Kashyapa and Aditi as the youngest of the Adityas, this is Vishnu himself, who took the form of Vamana."

So the Vishnu sitting among the twelve Adityas isn't some lesser deity that happened to share the name. It's Vishnu. Actually him. Born as an Aditya, and later stepping out as Vamana to measure the three worlds in three strides.

Put it all together and, I don't know, it kind of stops feeling like coincidence after a while. Rudram's own opening line calls Aditya Rudra. Sri Suktam calls Devi Aditya-varna and gives her his own disc to sit in. Vishnu's carried right inside the Sun's name, and shows up again as one of the twelve Adityas by birth. The Rigveda calls him the Self of everything, moving and still, and the Taittiriya Aranyaka just flatly says, that Sun is Brahman. And jyotish, in its own way, says the exact same thing, Surya is the Atmakaraka, the soul's own signifier, and every other planet is just running on light he handed them.

Hari Aum Tatsat.

 

 

I visited pavagadh yesterday and I think it's time to stop addressing pavagadh as shaktipeeth and mention it as a tourist spot where one can openly do gutka,khaini,beedi, cigarettes etc.

Where people are openly abusing, multiple people are having pret savaris( claiming to be maa itself) even inside the temple to get ahead in line( i saw more than 6 people myself)

Where the water body is entirely polluted and people are bathing naked in public.

Where you will find donkey's poop on every other step of a climb and even on the steps to mandir.

Where you will find the Pir of a Muslim just behind the main mandir and sanatani people going to pray over there.

Where you will find no proper puja as far as I have seen in the mangala aarti, even though I could be wrong in this.

After this, what aastha remained in me for this particular shaktipeeth has vanished, i was not able to feel the presence of divinity as I have been able to in Ambaji or other temples.

How could the place bearing one of the early inscription regarding lakulisha( pashupata shaivism)be reduced to this.

I agree this is more of a rant but this is my experience regarding this, it's much better to not visit this shaktipeeth as I will advise.

If anyone of the sub members have visited and have had an experience regarding this shaktipeeth similar or opposing mine, do share.

Around 4 AM, I woke up from a very vivid dream. I was in my home garden and saw a black hooded snake on a tree. Instead of the typical cobra hood marking, it had a very unusual symbol on its head. I showed the snake to my mom, who was also there. I became slightly panicked and rushed toward the house. While running, I noticed two other snakes slithering in my peripheral vision.

In the next scene, I was casually looking outside from inside my house, and the same black snake with the symbol appeared at another entrance. I tried to shoo it away by making sounds

In the next scene, It was night and I was in a forest area. Saw some tribals. One of them handed over me a manuscript and told me to find the fortune. Then I went to sleep there, I hold that manuscript and thinking about why it was given and what's in them, and thinking why the different snake appeared to me, was this the reason!?

Above one is the dream. I woke up right after this dream came and wrote this.

Below image is the exact symbol I saw on that black snake
