📖 For background and inspiration behind this blog, please read my Preface .

ha sa ka la ha hrim
sa ka la hrim

this is the 15 syllable vibrational face of divine mother sri lalitha
no you dont need diksha to use this but to use it properly needs guidance just as a firearm needs guidance to use properly. anyone can pull the trigger of any bija or bija string. but are you ready for the result when it occurs. just as you can blow away your mind with a firearm you can do the same with tantic mantra.
important: please practice the bala bija mantra first before even contemplating panchadasi. aim klim sauh sauh klim aim aim klim sauh, 1 lakh reps at least
this will prepare you for panchadasi, dont forget to use a ganesha mantra first always
shrim hrim klim glaum gam ganapataye vara varada sarva janamme vasamanaya svaha

MAHA SHODASHI MANTRA महाषोडशी मन्त्र 1. Om – ॐ
2. śrīṁ – hrīṁ – klīṁ – aiṁ – sauḥ: श्रीं ह्रीं क्लीं ऐं सौः
3. om – hrīṁ – śrīṁ ॐह्रींश्रीं (3 bījas)
4. ka – e – ī – la- hrīṁ कएईलह्रीं (5 bījas)
5. ha – sa – ka – ha – la – hrīṁ हसकहलह्रीं (6 bījas)
6. sa – ka – la – hrīṁ सकलह्रीं (4 bījas)
7. sauḥ – aiṁ – klīṁ – hrīṁ – śrīṁ सौःऐंक्लींह्रींश्रीं (5 bījas)
8. Namah नमः
First line: om – śrīṁ – hrīṁ – klīṁ – aiṁ – sauḥ (ॐ श्रीं ह्रीं क्लीं ऐं सौः)
Place śrī bīja, then place māyā bīja, then kāma bīja, then vāgbhava bīja and finally parā bīja. Thus the first line of this mantra is formed. Any mantra should start with ॐ. Kulārṇava Tantra (XV.57) says that not beginning a mantra without ॐcauses impurity of birth. Further, Chāndogya Upaniṣad begins by saying “om iti etat akṣaram udgītham upāsīta ॐ इति एतत् अक्षरम् उद्गीथम् उपासीत”. This means “this ॐ is closest to Brahman and recite this syllable as part of your worship”. The Vedas begin with ॐ. Going by the interpretation of Chāndogya Upaniṣad, ॐ at the beginning refers to Brahman. Māṇḍūkya Upaniṣad (1) also says that ॐ is both the cause and the effect. Therefore, ॐ should be prefixed to mahāṣoḍaśī mantra, without which the mantra becomes ineffective. Further reasoning is given while discussing sauḥ* Mahāṣoḍaśī mantra formed is like this.
1. Om – ॐ
2. śrīṁ – hrīṁ – klīṁ – aiṁ – sauḥ: श्रीं ह्रीं क्लीं ऐं सौः (5 bījas, ॐ omitted)
3. om – hrīṁ – śrīṁ ॐह्रींश्रीं (3 bījas)
4. ka – e – ī – la- hrīṁ कएईलह्रीं (5 bījas)
5. ha – sa – ka – ha – la – hrīṁ हसकहलह्रीं (6 bījas)
6. sa – ka – la – hrīṁ सकलह्रीं (4 bījas)
7. sauḥ – aiṁ – klīṁ – hrīṁ – śrīṁ सौः ऐं क्लीं ह्रीं श्रीं (5 bījas)
8. Namah नमः
Thus Mahāṣoḍaśī has twenty eight bījas, excluding the first praṇava Om and the ending Namah.
