In the Devi Bhagavata Purana, Lord Vishnu tells Sage Narada, “One who can contemplate the form of the Goddess as his own is the true sadhaka of Shakti.” This is the essence of Panchadasakshari Initiation — the sacred phase where the seeker begins to realize the Devi within, not as a distant divinity, but as one’s own highest Self.

The word Panchadasi comes from Pancha (five) and Dasa (ten) — together forming Panchadasa, the 15-lettered mantra of the Divine Mother.

This mantra is divided into three sacred parts, called Kutas:

    •    Vagbhava Kuta – from the Goddess’s head to neck

    •    Madhya Kuta – from the neck to navel

    •    Shakti Kuta – from the navel downward

Together, these three aspects embody the complete form of Maha Shakti. Chanting the Panchadasakshari mantra aligns the seeker’s energy with the Devi herself — a journey toward Saroopya, the state of becoming one with Her form and essence.

The Purpose of Panchadasakshari Sadhana

This sacred initiation marks a profound transformation in the seeker’s path:

    •    Walking the path of oneness with the Divine Mother

    •    Receiving Devi’s anubhuti — spontaneous visions and grace

    •    Developing a natural understanding of self and existence

    •    Anchoring steadiness at Devi’s feet

    •    Attaining success and abundance in both material and spiritual life

    •    Cultivating a divine aura of fulfillment and completeness

Guruji’s Words

“This is the stage where a sadhaka begins to understand why they were drawn to the Goddess all along. She is called Lalitha, the Playful One.

When one masters the Panchadasakshari, Devi becomes playful — full of Leela Vinodhini, revealing Herself in tender, divine ways.

But to reach this stage, one must walk with patience and unwavering Guru Bhakti — for only through surrender does the mantra come alive.”

Journey of Divine Union

The Panchadasakshari initiation at Shambavi Peetam represents the seeker’s inner ascent — from worshipping the Goddess to becoming Her own expression. Under the guidance of Guru Sri Aascharyanandha, sadhakas are led into this sacred space of awakening, where the mantra dissolves duality and the Devi’s play begins within.

Join the Panchadasakshari Initiation. Realize the Goddess within, embody her grace, and live in divine abundance.
