Good. JS has always my sympathy as a person who bears his karma bravely.

Do you have any info on my questions. Thanks

For Ashok Kumar:
<b>Shaktism</b> is one of the four primary sects of Hinduism. Shaktism's first historical signs are thousands of female statuettes dated ca 5500 BCE recovered at the Mehrgarh village in India.

Geographically, Shaktism has two main forms, the <b>Shrikula</b> "family of the Goddess Shri (or Lakshmi)," which respects the brahminical tradition (a mainstream Hindu tradition which respects caste and purity rules) and is strongest in South India; and the <b>Kalikula</b>, "family of Kali," which rejects brahminical tradition and prevails in Northern and Eastern India.

<b>Four major expressions of Shaktism</b> are evident today: folk-shamanism, yoga, devotionalism and universalism. Among the eminent mantras of Shaktism is: Aum Hrim Chandikayai Namah, "I bow to Her who tears apart all dualities."
