Invoke Durga: Awaken Shakti and Command Six Types of Tantric Magic (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798257397288)

The Navarna Mantra is nine syllables long. It comes from the Devi Mahatmya, the foundational scripture of the Shakta tradition, and practitioners across multiple lineages have worked with it for centuries as a self-contained system of Shakti activation. This book teaches you how to use it: as a daily practice that builds genuine inner power, and as the foundation for six specific types of Tantric ritual operation.

It is not a book about belief. It is a book about practice.

Part One gives you the complete simplified sadhana. Timing, physical preparation, the correct chanting method, what you will experience during practice, how to recognise the signs that the mantra has genuinely taken root in your system, and how to extend the practice beyond the initial nine-day cycle. No yantra required. No prior initiation required. What is required is seriousness and consistency.

Part Two covers the six shatkarma operations, the six ritual applications the tradition associates with this mantra:

• Akarshana: the restoration of broken connections and the drawing together of what has been separated
• Vashikarana: bringing a resistant person into genuine receptivity
• Vidveshana: creating discord between those who are jointly causing harm
• Stambhana: immobilizing a harmful action before it reaches its target
• Ucchatana: uprooting an entrenched harmful presence from a position it refuses to vacate
• Marana: the final and most serious operation, presented with its complete shastraic framework, material specifications, and ethical constraints

Each operation is given in full: materials, timing, lunar alignment, direction, the exact mantra in Devanagari and Roman transliteration, and complete procedure. Each chapter also covers when the operation is appropriate and, with equal weight, when it is not.

Part Three addresses the ethics of this work directly. Adhikara, karmic return, proportion, protection protocols before and after any working, the requirement of silence during active operations, and a five-question self-examination framework the tradition applies before any serious ritual action.

This book was written by a practitioner initiated into a living Siddha lineage based near Nashik, Maharashtra, with more than two decades of direct field engagement across Varanasi, Nashik, and the Chhattisgarh region. Sanskrit terms are explained plainly on first use. The practices are complete and workable without a temple, without a teacher present, and without years of prior training. A full Sanskrit reference glossary is included at the back.

These are not metaphors. The shatkarma operations documented here are drawn from living Tantric lineages. They are presented for the practitioner who intends to work with them seriously, with full awareness of what that work entails.
