This is the correct one aṁ agni, uṁ sūrya, maṁ soma. This is with regard to ॐ . Similarly, Bālā mantra is also associated with these three maṇḍala-s thus.aiṁ agni, klīṁ sūrya, sauḥ soma.

I think what I have written is correct. aṁ uṁ maṁ represent ॐ and here aṁ uṁ maṁ represent three maṇḍala-s in sequential order.

1. As per point six (6) of your text, it was said that a vessel used for preparation of visesharghya patra is known as kaarana Kalasa.In fact, karana kalasa is a separate patra and used to keep naagara khanda (ginger pieces) mixed with saindhava lavanam. Patra used from karana kalasa is three eyed coconut shell as it represents lord siva. This is the reason why we do puja to this patra with pancha siva mantras.2. Ref: Point (7) of your text: For visheshargya patra it is better not to use copper vessel. We use milk with other ingredients as visesharghya. As per sastras, if we keep milk in a copper vessel that will be turned into (or equivalent to) intoxicated drink like wine etc. 3. In concluding para of your text, it was said that mudra means fingure gesture. Infact it is not fingure gesture. Mudra means some type of eatable made up of mamsa etc. ( I cannot explain you clearly. You have said about this in one of the discussion point in your web sites discussion forum- Pancha Tattvas)4.Actually, panchamakaras are not related to patras used in navavarana puja. Panchamakaras are ingredients used in preparation of various arghyas etc. This point I have dealt in one of the discussion point in your web sites discussion forum - Panch Tattvas.5. Shatpatras used are Vardhani kalasam, saamanyargyam, visesharghyam, kaarana kalasam, guru patra and aatma pata.6. Sub patras are: Shakti patra, bhogini patra, budhi patra.Total patras including sub patras are nine a symbolism for navavarana. (?)7. Bali patra is not considered separately though it will be used after maha naivedyam.

Lalita Sahasranama can be recited at any time. It is said that the best time for recitation of Lalita Sahasranama is Fridays and full moon days. Your timing of recitation is absolutely fine.

Due to time constraints, I chant lalitha sahasranamam on friday nights sometimes as late at 2 am... This is under the assumption that it is considered to be a Saturday post 4am and not 12 am. I hope that's okay? What time is usually the best to chant lalitha sahasranamam anyway? Thanks.

Ṛṣyādi nyāsaḥ ऋष्यादि न्यासःṛṣiḥ - open the right palm and touch the top of the head (i.e.place of sahasrara chakra). A rishi to mantra is drasta of that mantra i.e. he got darshan of that mantra devata and so he became the authority of that mantra. In other words we can say that he is like guru of that mantra. Gurumandala is at sahasrara and hence, top of the head where sahasrara placed should be touched.chandaḥ - bring right palm near to face; devatā - right palm on the heart chakraHalbhyo bījebhyo namaḥ1 | svarebhyaḥ śaktibhyo namaḥ2 | bindubhyo kīlakebhyo namaḥ31. Touch mooladhara chakra2. Touch swadhistana chakra3. Touch manipura chakraAbove nyasa as will ease the sadhaka to feel activation of base chakras. Once base chakras activated it will be easy to activate upper chakras. ii.4) 7 ऐं तं थं दं धं नं ऐं अनामिकाभ्यां नमः।7 aiṁ taṁ thaṁ daṁ dhaṁ naṁ aiṁ anāmikābhyāṁ namaḥ|7 aem taṁ thaṁ daṁ dhaṁ naṁ aiṁ anāmikābhyāṁ namaḥ|ii.5) 7 औं पं फं बं भं मं औं कनिष्ठीकाभ्यां नमः।7 auṁ paṁ phaṁ baṁ bhaṁ maṁ auṁ kaniṣṭhīkābhyāṁ namaḥ|7 Om paṁ phaṁ baṁ bhaṁ maṁ auṁ kaniṣṭhīkābhyāṁ namaḥ|ii.6) 7 अं यं रं लं बं शं षं सं हं ळं क्षं अः करतलकरपृष्ठाभ्यां नमः।7 aṁ yaṁ raṁ laṁ baṁ śaṁ ṣaṁ saṁ haṁ ḻaṁ kṣaṁ aḥ karatalakarapṛṣṭhābhyāṁ namaḥ|7 aṁ yaṁ raṁ laṁ vam śaṁ ṣaṁ saṁ haṁ ḻaṁ kṣaṁ aḥ karatalakarapṛṣṭhābhyāṁ namaḥ|Above may be considered for hridayadi nyasa also.18.2) Bahirmātṛkānyāsaḥ बहिर्मातृकान्यासः (nyāsa on the external body parts)आं āṁ Mukhavrithae
