You may recite Her Gāyatri mantra(s) or the Vedic mantra specified in the post. Those who are initiated into Her mantras should consider the yantra pūja during these nine auspicious nights.

Hello, is it possible to write on a small piece of paper Narasimha Kavacham or Mantra Rajapada Stotram or just Raja mantra and put in the middle of such a plant a photo I will provide at the end. Locals in the city of Pomirie call this plant "Sea Devil", they say that it grows to a depth of about 100-150 meters and from time to time the sea (Black Sea) carries these seeds which it reproduces, they look like the head of a demon with horns. Thanks for the answer, here is the photo: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nXa3SFFrcmynKRT3jMHNu0dgKBBuMNkU/view?usp=drivesdk https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nW2UTVOVt1Fp_i35Lq7JPm0BuhQPuxwe/view?usp=drivesdk https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nVUm4gQ9mG-wEanGSJfPj_FxDgVueHw7/view?usp=drivesdk https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nUyAcbJnnKqh8Ywrq735YJ9MuREqQdKc/view?usp=drivesdk https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nUdxwnbVsnJOMfk-kKda8TFUjkraLUjL/view?usp=drivesdk https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nTzYW4kTkgtfJ7tYwuiHAc4zxRdNOvEv/view?usp=drivesdk

Apologies, I realized you mentioned in the article about this disagreement between the order of the granthis, please ignore my previous question.

Thanks for this informative article. I am curious about the Granthi order that has been mentioned in the table, as it mentions Brahma Granthi around Vishuddhi & Agna chakra. However, according to Lalitha sahasranama They are mentioned from bottom-up - Muladharaika nilaya brahma granthi vibedhini, manipurantha rudthitha vishnu granthi vibhedini, agna charantaralastha rudra granthi vibhedini. So shouldn't Brahma Granthi be around Muladhara and Svadisthana? Can you please explain the meaning behind the reverse order in that table? Thanks for your answer in advance!

You can find them online also for the copper havan/homa vessels. There are other religious stores that may also carry the same. You can look at Giri Traders or others in store or online.

One of my gurus has practiced it and does not recommend for material gains. He is certain that this lead to liberation and should be taken up by very mature and experienced sādhakas.

If you make a Saṅkalpa (pledge) for the Puraścaraṇa process, then homam is required. Though there are no scriptural exceptions on skipping homam to the best of my knowledge, it is quite common for many to do so by performing an additional amount of japa - about 40% more to account for Homam. The other tasks related to puraścaraṇa must be adhered to. There is yet another method followed (without any scriptural basis to my knowledge), where in, all other tasks associated with puraścaraṇa are skipped with double mantra japa. For instance to skip Homam, we do double the homam amount of japa. For example, if the puraścaraṇa is for 100,000 mantra japa, then homam is a tenth which is 10,000. So to skip it, we perform 20,000 japa. Likewise, it would come to a total of 125,000 mantra japa to skip all the tasks of puraścaraṇa and perform only mantra japa. If you are unable to do puraścaraṇa, then don't make a pledge for it and simply do mantra japa. Some results will show in due course of time if your efforts are very sincere.

Dear Krishnaji, Pranams. The Ashadha Navaratri for 2020 starts on June 22 and goes for 9 days. I wanted to seek your Kind guidance for Varahi sadhana during this period. I am sure the other devotees will also benefit from your thoughts. Thanks
