Hello, I came across the following version of Mahamrityunjaya mantra: ll ॐ हौं जूं सः ॐ भूर्भुवः स्वः ॐ त्र्यम्‍बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम् उर्वारुकमिव बन्‍धनान्मृ त्‍योर्मुक्षीय मामृतात् ॐ स्वः भुवः भूः ॐ सः जूं हौं ॐ ll ll Om Haum Jum Sah: Om Bhur: Bhuva: Swa: Om Tryambakam Yajamahe Sugandhim pushtivardhanam Urvaarukamiva bandhanaan Mrityormuksheeya maamritaat Om Swa: Bhuva: Bhu: Om Sah: Jum Haum Om ll Which one is more correct? So what did you publish or this one?

Raśmi mālā mantras are typically recited by Śrī Vidyā upāsakas immediately after waking up in the morning and after meditating upon one's guru first. This krama/procedure should be adopted by senior sādhakas, who are already deep into Śrī Vidyā upāsana and have reached or crossed Pañcadaśī. Some traditions may require Ṣoḍaśī also. This is definitely not for beginners and there is no cherry picking of mantras, as far as I know. One must recite all the mantras as initiated by one's guru. It is definitely possible to get initiated into any one of these mantras separately and individually as desired, but not as part of the Raśmi mālā recitation, without first fulfilling the pre-requisites of Śrī Vidyā upāsana.

There are mathematical formulae involved with drawing of the śrīcakra. I found the information on sriyantraresearch.com to be very useful. There are other articles and research papers available on the internet that you can peruse. We have not published any such articles on the drawing specifics of any yantra.

The rules are specified by the seer of the mantra. There is no specific rule that applies for all mantras to derive the nyāsas. Proper mantra japa involves reciting the nyāsas, dhyāna, pañca pūja, mūla mantra, āvaraṇa pūja, sahasranāma, kavacam and other stotras for propitiating the respective deity. Since this is very involved and time consuming, considering that we are performing several mālās of the initiated/prescribed mantra, it is best to stick to one mantra and perform all the associated rituals vs focusing on many mantras assuming that there would be accumulated benefits. The many mantras recitation formula rarely works and is not the proper method of mantra japa specified in the tantras. Some exceptions of skipping associated parts/aṅga-s of mantra japa can be made by those who have performed many recitations of the mantra and have also synchronized with their breath, or have the exclusive permission to do so by their gurus. The latter is the most important aspect of mantra japa and the edict of the guru is final!

You can follow this Kavacam if you wish. Instead or in addition, You may also follow the №4 https://sanskritdocuments.org/doc_devii/durgAkavach.html — śrīdurgādevikavacam. I strongly recommend reciting only after understanding the meaning of the stotram.

I have seen the mantra somewhere and I cannot recollect. If I do find it, I will post it.

It is currently not on our agenda for this year. But we shall consider for next year or so.

Krishna Ji, you have provided Nyasa with full Japa/Mula mantra for Maha Varahi Japam, where as for Raja Matangi Japam only with first 3 lines of the mantra. May I know the reason? Can we also do Nyasa with full mantra. Also what is the rule for breaking mantra for Nyasa (no. of letters etc.?) For Maha Ganapati Mula mantra Japa, you have provided Nyasa with Beeja Aksharas not with Mantra Japa.. Can we also do Nyasa with Maha Ganapati Japa Mantra? Kindly clarify Salutations and Many Thanks Saadhana
