Very clearly the article suggests NOT to go beyond 15 rounds at a time. If you still wish to do so, you may seek the advice of a yoga guru and practice accordingly. In general, it is always better to learn yoga from an expert and practice as advised. The knowledge from the website should be seen as a secondary source of information only.

Hello, on the occasion of Navaratri, I want to ask you what is the correct version of sloka that is in this document https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uijUuMrXx5YanJO7d37JJRrwwLQG8an0/view?usp=drivesdk. In it on page 4, under number 17, writes — ,,By sampuṭa of the śloka ityuktvā sā tadā devī, one is blessed with knowledge.'' This document provides only part of the sloka ,, ityuktvā sā tadā devī '' I tried to find its full version one ,,ityuktvā sā tadā devī tarasāntarhitā'bhavat | cāṇḍamuṇḍau tu tāndevīmadrāṣṭāṃ sevakau tayoḥ || 17 ||'' - This version is from Shiva Purana https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/book/shiva-purana-sanskrit/d/doc402909.html. Another version is available in śrīśāradāmāhātmyam https://sanskritdocuments.org/doc_devii/shAradAmAhAtmyam.html?lang=iast. Here it is - ,,ityuktvā śāṇḍilyamuniṃ devī cāntardadhe tadā smṛtvā vaco mahādevyāḥ śyāmalāyā munīśvaraḥ''. Please tell me which of them is mentioned in the document where I got this sloka? Which of these 2 slokas should be read front and back before each verse of Durga Saptashati? The document is taken from here http://www.kamakotimandali.com/blog/index.php?p=1221&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 This document lists only a few words of this sloka ,, ityuktvā sā tadā devī '' when I tried to find the full version I found 2 or 3 different similar sloka, please help me to understand which version is correct.

Can we chant Stotras like TARA Astottara shatanama Stroram; Kali Ashtottara shatanama Stotram; TARA Ashtakam ...... As it is equal to purascharana on eclipse

Though I used to start japa with this śloka since long, only now I came to know from you the modified form it. Thank you so much. हरि: ॐ

हरि: ॐ Thank you for your clarification. Of late external recitation exhausts me! Today's mental japa was above 1000 count over several hours with short breaks in between. हरि: ॐ

Namaste Krishnaji, Can you please let me know which is the authentic Sri Matangi Gayatri Mantra from an authentic scriptural source? "Om Matangyai cha vidmahe ucchista chandalyaicha dhimahi tanno devi prachodayat" "Om shuka priyayai vidmahe sri kameshwaryai dhimahi tanno shyama prachodayat"

Hello. Thank you for this wonderful explanation. So if we have to do more than 15 counts, how do we do it? Like giving a break in between? I didn't knew about this restriction and I usually do for 3 minutes straight 1 per second.

There is no such reference in this mantra.
