35. Few facts and precautions before doing any kind of shakti sadhna or devi sadhna/meditation

There are lot of meditations for inner purification which do not involve any particular form of god or goddess, but there are sadhnas/meditations which involve different forms of god and goddesses or devi and devtas. When you do any shakti or devi sadhna then you need to understand that shakti sadhna at times can be very fierce and it can make a lot of your karma come out on the surface very quickly. As long as they are good karma, it will be good for you, but if lot of bad karma comes out on the surface then it might become very difficult for you to handle. So you need to be mentally prepared to handle everything that comes on the surface before you do any shakti or devi sadhna, because i have seen many sadhaks facing lot of financial and family difficulties, mental and physical disbalance & disturbance after doing shakti sadhna. At any point of time if this happens then my advice to all those sadhaks is to ask for forgiveness from the devi and stop shakti sadhna. Instead do mahamrityunjaya sadhna or shiv sadhna. Along with it you can do release sadhna & forgiveness, gratitude and unconditional love sadhna which is given in my book.

Shakti or devi can get fierce and to teach you a lesson it can go to any extent which you might not be able to handle but with shiv sadhna or meditation , shiv will raise your consciousness first and make you realize your mistakes. So the difference that i have understood is that shakti will teach you a lesson first then your consciousness is raised whereas shiv will raise your consciousness first and then you will realize your mistake and learn your lesson. With shakti sadhna your good and bad karma can come out very quickly on the surface which you may not be mentally prepared to handle but in shiv sadhna things happen more smoothly and gently and you are mentally prepared.

At any point of time when you are doing any devi or shakti sadhna and you feel lot of anger or irritation or fights happening or feel any mental disbalance, then my advice to you is to ask for forgiveness from the devi and stop devi sadhna and start shiv or mahamrityunjaya sadhna. I have written this article because lot of sadhaks in the past have come to me and asked me that why things and situations have become worse in their lives after doing shakti sadhna or devi sadhna. I hope through this article i was able to give an explanation and answer to all those sadhaks facing similar difficulties and seeking answers.
