Namaskar, Hello,

I am also looking for advice and will include my experiences with them below also.

Right now, I've read just about everything on Wikipedia on them and I am looking for sites in English primarily, but I am willing to try using some google translate on sites if need be.

I have Autism and ADHD, so...when I want or need to research them, I get lost and the next thing I know I have a ton of new bookmarks and a ton of notes...and several things that connect or standout as the primary purpose of that research I was meant to find and know.

Mahavidya call a lot to me, especially Matangi and Dhumvati and Queen Tripura Sundari. I think Matangi may be my Guru? There is something about her that very much calls to me, or just my favorite goddess perhaps.Of the Matrikas, Chamunda (Kali) calls the most, but I still need to find out more information on them, definitely not finding as much information on them.

I've converted to Sanatana Dharma because I've been getting house visits and such by goddesses, gods, spirits and all sorts of energy beings I can no longer deny as real, especially when I can see them and they utilized Maya/Magick to communicate with me and give me information that I could not possibly know...

They have been teaching me things about Quantum Mechanics, which when I began studying it that they truly began to manifest in my life, but in hindsight they have overtly always been there, guiding and helping me.

For example, I almost died the day I was born; it was a busy day and somehow a nurse was made to hear and sense my dying from across the hospital and found and saved me.

Also as a kid they brought my dead parrot back to life (definitely died, definitely wasn't replaced because I taught it the words it knew), twice; drowning and electricity (her beak even fell off for a while).

And a few years ago they saved me from a car accident by telling me what to do as a car was crashing in front of me... they said do nothing, keep the same speed and don't swerve... the accident went around me entirely, but ONLY because I did exactly as told...anything else and I would have been caught up in it.

Starting the journey to becoming eligible to learn Kali Mahavidya

I have to come to understand that it takes decades to become ready/eligible to be initiated into Kali Mahavidya. How does one begin this journey? Is there an authentic school/guru who guides you through these processes? I'm looking for someone from the Bengali tradition.

Thank you for the help.

Jai ma.

Mahavidyas and the Matrikas

Hello everyone. I'm aware of the goddesses (Shakti) that comprise the ten Mahavidyas but I'm wondering if the Matrikas (Saptamatrika) are associated or reflected in that group as well. For example I understand that the matrika Chamunda has a parallel with Chinnamasta of the Mahavidyas. Is there such a parallel between the other Matrikas and the Mahavidya goddesses? Thanks for the help!

Where can authentic Kali Tantra or Dasa Mahavidya lineages be found today as a non-Indian foreigner?

I've been looking for a Tantrik/Agamic Guru lineage for years in Shaivism. Didn't find any, but I learned that Shaktism and Shaivism were originally one and the same, and even paths like Kashmiri Shaivism -- which by now died out due to the decision of Swami Lakshmanjoo -- use Devi-focused Tantras for many purposes (because of this, there is significant overlap, but Shaktism still has Gurus).

Thus naturally I became interested in Shaktism. I am most drawn to Kali, and I would prefer to focus on her (and Shiva) primarily. This is about where my knowledge ends. I do not know if there are specific paths available focusing on Kali alone, or if she is only available as a part of the Mahavidyas.

I prefer to follow paths as authentically as possible, and as such I would not break with established religious orthodoxy. Modern opinions and speculations about Traditional sciences and scriptures hold no water for me. Trying to navigate the ocean of Vedic literature is completely overwhelming and paralyzing, thus I would prefer to have a Guru to guide me through it and help me build my knowledge along a sensible line, as well as to initiate me into the mantras and other practices.

Any direct or indirect help would be appreciated.
