Surya Namaskar was never about grahas. Surya Namaskar is about the sun of your soul. The soul of your soul. Perfection of this practice should be mandatory for those who recite Mantras. The body needs to be prepared to withstand the Mantras or they will not want to stay in the body.

Namaste Deepak Singh. It was never really necessary to follow breathing patterns. Focus on the third eye (between your eyebrows) and recite the Mantra MENTALLY until you forget your breath and stop breathing completely (Kevala Kumbhaka). By focusing on the third eye and the Mantra, there is no doubt that soon the Ida and Pingala flow will die and pierce the central Sushumna channel. You may not succeed today, but you will soon if you persist in this way. There's no need to force things. The ultimate goal of true Pranayama is the cessation of breathing (naturally). Advanced Surya Namaskar practitioners pierce the Sushumna during practice. They start out breathing, but then the flow dies down and they go into a trance where the movements are all performed without breathing for a long time and without effort. They experience immense electricity in the sushumna channel of the body in their spine and immense happiness. It is a pity that the practice of Surya Namaskar is not taught correctly by most people today. From the perfection of correct Surya Namaskar comes complete Sushumna awakening, perfect body without disease and the power to live without food. Undoubtedly all Mantras quickly bear fruit for him, even those locked Mantras.

Namaskaram dear sirs. Please tell of the meaning of अं. My very limited reading of the Kamadhenu tantra says this letter/aksara is to be pictured yellow in colour, consisting of all knowledge, and has within it the three bindus and Iccha & jnana & kriya Śaktis, as well as five pranas and is MahāKundalini ( This is rough summary as there is no English translation). This description is obtuse and obscure to me. If it is possible, please provide clarity and simplification. The above info follows the system of Matrika, and perhaps of note, when the letters of Sanskrit alphabet are associated with locations on the body, this ‘am’ letter is to be thought of as on the [top?] of the head.

Unless you have been instructed to reverse the mantra during exhalation, you do not need to do so in the manner you have specified. Typically, make sure that you are comfortable with the abdominal breathing techniques before you align the mantra with the breath. When you align the mantra, typically the mantra recitation and breathing should be very slow. You should get yourself comfortable with the breathing. Any excess efforts may induce yawning and you would get distracted from the mantra chanting.

Follow as per the dhyāna śloka. The image will change for every deity as the dhyāna ślokas differ. It is extremely important that you get initiated into every single mantra that you wish to recite, especially if it's a tantric mantra.

Green clothing is suggested. You should follow the guidelines of your guru on all these matters, as their suggestions supersede whatever you read here and in other publications. The word of the guru is final in all tantra related matters. You can use the mālā of your liking. Rudrākṣa mālā is considered an all purpose mālā and can be used for chanting. A counter may be used in addition to a mālā to keep the number of mālā counts. For instance, if you complete the recitation 108 times on a 108 bead japa mālā, the counter can be adjusted to say 1. The counter can be adjusted depending on the number of mālā counts. Ultimately, if you perform 10 japa mālā counts, then your actual mantra count would be 10 x 108 = 1080. If you are using a japa mālā, consider consecrating it with the associated mālā mantra.

Is there any dress code for Matangi / sumuki / Shyamala Devi Sadhana? Is it necessary to chant with rudraksha japa mala or can we chant with a counting machine? Can we use a single Matangi Devi image to all Matangi / sumuki / Shyamala Devi sadanas or we have to change image of goddess according to the dhyana of each mantra? Thank you.
