Sri Pratyangira is a powerful Devi who is greatly spoken about in the Adharvana Veda - one of the four Vedas (namely - Rig, Yajur, Sama and Adharvana Vedas). She, who is always seated on a lion, is also known as Narasimhika [in Kalisahasranama Stotram]. Devi Pratyangira appears as a ferocious half human-half lion form with four hands [lower right hand holding the soolam/knife, lower left hand holding the abalam, upper right hand holding the damarugam (drum) and upper left hand holding the snake]. The powers generated from the Maha Pratyangira Moola Mantra Maala Mantra Homam will be transmitted into the Sri Mariamman Utsava Murthi. A significant feature of this Maha Homam, as mentioned in the Adharvana Veda, is that unsalted cooked Vada soaked in honey, lemons, spicy dried chillies, and ghee should be the primary offerings to the maha homam.

Self Confidence

Self confidence is a pre-requisite to succeed in any walk of life. Be it your relationships or the workplace, confidence is needed to run your life in an excellent way. But what exactly is self confidence? Well, it is the conviction that person’s have in their abilities. A self confident person is mentally very strong and exhibits assertiveness in his routine dealings with people. Contrary to popular perception, self confidence is not something which is always innate. In fact, with practice, patience and experience, we can be built it over a period of time.

What is "Motivational"?

Motivation is the foundation of goal-orientated behavior. It is generally used for humans but, theoretically, it can also be used to describe the grounds for animal manners also. According to various assumptions, motivation may be rooted in the essential need to minimize physical twinge and maximize pleasure, or it may include specific needs such as food, rest or a desired object, hobby, aim, or it may be attributed to less-apparent reasons such as self-sacrifice, egoism, ethics, or avoiding transience. Theoretically, it should not be confused with either decision or sanguine. Motivation is related to, but distinct from, passion.
