Thank you for pointing out the omission. This has been rectified now.

What do you mean by silent mantra japa? Chanting done very silently (like whispering), or chanting done in the head? Is chanting Soundarya Lahari slokas in the head more powerful than chanting them silently with sound?

Hi sir. I have recently started doing meditation. I am currently practising for 15 minutes. I feel so thirsty during these 15 minutes itself. How do I overcome this? Or is it natural? If in future I prolong the meditation to 1 hour, will this thirst affect me? Thank you.

Namaste! Thank you for your input. The method that was taught to me and also described in some books, has been documented here. I would strongly suggest following the tradition taught by your guru. The directives of the guru, are final in the tradition of tantra and must be followed, to obtain their grace.

It is subtly conveyed in the Kulārṇava tantra, that mantra japa without nyāsā-s brings obstacles to one's mantra japa sādhana. I would suggest practicing abdominal breathing and ensuring that you switch to the left nostril or the dual nostril breathing during mantra japa, to improve the quality and make it more effective. Please look up the breathing articles on this website and elsewhere on the rationale and the utility for deploying the same. If you are falling in deep sleep during mantra japa, let it happen, there is nothing wrong. In fact a deep meditative state is highly desirable. Also, please lookup the various mediation techniques specified in the Vijñāna Bhairava tantra and see if any one of them can help you, in suppressing your mind during meditation and japa.

"Thinking" here means deep contemplation for most of us. For those who are completely dissolved in Her devotion, mere thought can reap in the benefits of fulfilling desires. One must note that even thoughts can generate vibrations. In fact it is these subtle vibrations coming from silent mantra japa, that are most effective in reaching out to the Divine.

Namaste Guruji. I would like to thank you for posting such a wonderful yantra puja. However, I'm wondering if the Dwara devatas are not misplaced in the yantra itself based upon their numberings. For example Yogini (#82) who was supposed to be located in the North, is actually situated in the west with Vatuka (#81). Ksetrapala (#83) who was supposed to be located in the east is placed in the north. Lord Ganapati (#84) who was supposed to be located in the south is found in the north. May Mother Kali bless and protect you always.
