Notes from our sources

Which Devi mantras are bound, according to the Rudrayamala?
Bala Tripura Sundari, Tripura Bhairavi, all three Kootas of Shodashi, Kalika, Bhadrakali, Matangi, Bhuvaneshwari, Tara, Chhinnamastika, Bagalamukhi, and many other Devi forms all have bound mantras requiring unbinding.
Who is Shri Yantra worship reserved for, and what should uninitiated practitioners establish instead?
Shri Yantra (in crystal, silver, or copper) and its ritual worship (Chakra Pujan) are for those initiated into Shri Vidya specifically — uninitiated individuals should establish and worship mild forms (Saumya Swaroop) of the Goddess instead.
