Hello All! My name is Krishna Vallapareddy and I have been practicing mantra japa since 2008. My early introduction to tantra was through the treatise called Mantra Mahodadhi which I referred to for practicing the Ucchiṣṭa Gaṇapati Sādhana of the 9 lettered mantra. I couldn't find a guru despite my best efforts and faced great difficulty in following the practice and even understanding the deeper meaning behind the mantras and the rituals - the whys and how mainly. A few years of sādhana led me to a guru who introduced me to Śrī Vidyā and taught me the underlying rituals and the esoteric meanings associated with them. I went all the way to the level of Pūrṇa Dīkṣa and over the years it has changed my spiritual outlook and helped me gain a lot of peace and contentment in life.

There was a quest lurking within to understand the various Āmnāyās and the grouping of deities and their relevance. A huge interest also developed to understand the Kāli krama practiced as part of the Sarvāmnāya tantra. Thanks to Vimarsha Foundation, I was able to gain some more insights into this tradition and I sincerely hope that there is a path towards learning and understanding the deeper secrets from a spiritual standpoint that may help us all gain the cherished objective and life purpose of self-realization - ātma jñāna.

I sincerely thank all the folks at Vimarsha in making these courses available to all and making a very sincere effort to teach and uplift our spiritual awareness.
