I have tried to read all your words, but you have written too much to completely answer everything. Sri Amritanandanatha Saraswati did an incredible amount of sadhana in his life. Not many people, in fact, none that I know of, can say they performed Srividyopasana as thoroughly as he did. So it isn't correct to compare him to Ramakrishna. Ramakrishna would chant a mantra 108 times and get darshan immediately. You think that kind of siddhi comes in one life?
Concerning powers and magic and psychic nonsense… you will not get far in any practice if this is on your mind. In fact, you won't get anywhere unless your able to fall in love with God. Are you in love with God? Or are you trying to convince God to give you something you don't deserve? Do you honestly think your mechanic mantra repetitions and heartless pujas will convince God to give you anything except a firm belt across your ass? To understand our Guruji you need to understand love. His love for Mahadevi was greater than anyone you know. His love for God's children was equally strong. So please, approach our guruji and our community humbly. Srividya is a secret path. Maybe it isn't for you in this life? Ramanama is very strong mantra as well. Choose the God or Goddess you can give your heart and life to. Otherwise don't waste your time or ours.
