Śrī Vanadurgā Ārādhanā Mūlamantra
oṁ namo bhagavatī vanadurgāyai namaḥ
ॐ नमो भगवति वनदुर्गायै नमः
The only mantra that leads you towards the journey —
the journey that ends not in liberation,
but at Her lotus feet.
I kept changing the words,
trying to make it simpler… clearer… more precise.
But in truth, I was only complicating that
which was already whole — pūrṇa.
This mantra doesn’t need the
addition of bījākṣaras or other syllables.
It is complete in itself.
And with every change I tried to make
— I tasted energies I was not ready for,
pathways I didn’t recognize…
doors that opened into realms beyond devotion.
This mantra, in its pure form,
is for the bhakta —
for the one who seeks nothing
but the grace of Mā Vanadurgā,
to begin, sustain, and
complete their sādhana.
Prohibition Declared –
With Vāk Devī as Witness
Let this be heard with full weight:
No Tāntrika — of any sampradāya, paddhati, or paramparā —
has permission to recite, chant, or even whisper
a single akṣara
from this mantra.
I take dharma upon myself in full consciousness,
and I write this keeping Vāk Devī Herself as Sākṣī.
This is not for siddhi. This is not for tantra.
This is not to be extracted, borrowed, or reinterpreted.
This is bhakti — and bhakti alone.
