• The author, a Shakti sadhak, warns about the consequences of fence-sitting by fake Hindus and clarifies a few aspects of the sadhana of Maa Dhumavati.

1. Who is Mother Dhumavati?

She is one of the Ten Tantric Mahavidyas. She is the One hidden behind, as it were, of smoke. She is a form of Shakti. There is no difference between Her and what the Advaita Vedantins call saguna Brahman. That is, Brahman with attributes.

2. Can I pray to Dhumavati?

No, you cannot.

3. If she is saguna Brahman and a Tantric Mahavidya, why cannot I pray to her? 

Unless you have won over all your senses; are unmoved by personal losses and treat your family and others just the same, you should never invoke Her.

The worship of this manifestation of Brahman is to be done by dispassionate women and men for the sake of others and for Dharmic purposes when our Dharma faces crises of apocalyptic proportions. 

4. Who can invoke her and when?

A Tantric adept who is schooled long in Shakta Tantra and has the explicit permission of one’s Guru Deva can and should invoke Her when our Dharma is nearing an end in terms of quality. Not quantitatively. 

5. What do you mean that we do not want more Hindus in terms of numbers? Do you not want the spread of Hinduism? 

No, I do not. I am a just a servant of the Servants of Maa Tara, my Tantric Ishta Devi and above all, of my Gurudeva.

I have no will of my own from the day I agreed to take up the plough of Shakta Tantra till my dying day. I convey their wishes to all. We do not want more and more Hindus. We have no use for fence-sitters. Ours is a religion which is revolutionary in nature --- it is unique in the multi-verses, and we need Hindus who are neither fanatics nor fence-sitters. 

We need Hindus who are proud of their heritage; we need Hindus who are willing to lay their lives for their Faith. We need Hindus who will bear witness to their Faiths no matter who ridicules them; kills them or insults them. We need a few good Hindus rather than millions who for the sake of their careers; for business profits and fake learning in academic seminars will sell their souls to forces of radical Kantian evil. We need Hindus who will proudly teach their own children Hinduism first and foremost instead of say, learning physics or getting jobs or manipulating the stock markets. We need holy women and men for our religion.

We do not need the merely super-learned, the super-rich or the super-achiever. We certainly have no problems with them if they are rooted in our Dharma. Everyone, from the zillionaire to the Nobel winner to our entrepreneurs are dispensable unless they are committed Hindus. I cannot speak for other religions: this is the stand of my religion. What has Mother Dhumavati to do with anyone who is not a Hindu? 

We need Hindus who do not use learning for wrong ends and discriminate against any of their fellow Hindus in the name of caste and gender. There are no untouchables in our Dharma; the girl child and the female foetus both represent the Holy Mother --- do not think of mistreating the girl child or/and aborting the female foetus. You are thinking what have these got to do with Mother Dhumavati?

6. What has the Mother Dhumavati got to do with us Hindus and discrimination based on gender and caste?

Mother Dhumavati is a liberating Mother. She will destroy first the existentially inauthentic Hindu. She will destroy first those who arrogantly call themselves Hindu yet bring untold miseries against other Hindus just because the latter are marginalised and poor.  The Mahavidyas had preferentially acted for the poor and in the future too; they will act preferentially for the poor and they have no liking for those who are powerful in the eyes of this passing world. 

Those who are considered great by others will be brought down first. Those who stand in VIP queues at the cost of the poor to enter the sanctum sanctorum of the abodes of the Mahavidyas in Shaktipeethas and Siddhapiths will be destroyed first by Mother Dhumavati for their arrogance. Those who do black magic in Her name and the name of Tantra will be destroyed first. Do not say you have not been warned.

The price for being silent when wrongs are done in front of you will be heavy. Mother Dhumavati will spare none. Stop torturing others. Speak up in the face of radical evil. Do not sell your souls for career, money and luxuries. Do not let the orphan go hungry; do not neglect the ill and the old. Make sure you do something for the cause of our Dharma and do not do anything which is against the spirit of our Dharma. We are Shakti sadhaks: in the name of the Holy Mother Dhumavati I warn you wherever you are --- do not call upon the wrath of Mother Dhumavati by obeying the letter of the law and slyly betraying the spirit of Hinduism through your acts of commission and omission. Remember, if you are a Hindu and you know you are a traitor, the Mother will let you flourish for decades to come. You will have good health, wealth and progeny.

But then you will live to see the destruction of your own life. And, you will cry out aloud and do Pujas and havans to no use. It will be of no use then.  

Change now. It is not too late. Even now there is time. Love others for as Vivekananda Swami said: those alone live, who live for others. 

7. When will Mother Dhumavati come?

She will come when all is nearly lost. She will come to inaugurate a new world. Come She will. Harih Om.

I shall not answer any further questions on this blogpost. Let the learned debate the answers in their assemblies online and offline. I have conveyed to the world what had to be conveyed. None should say or think that they had not been warned.
