Dear Respected Readers,1. I am not sure whether mahasodasi will fructify if we add Om as first bija. However, our tradition is without Om in first place.2. Siva Panchakshari is not "Namah Shivaya". Actually, Om Namah Shivaya is prakata siva panchakshari that can be practiced by anyone. There are other versions of Shiva Panchakshari which are secret and can be known from a Guru only.

The technicalities of adding or not adding Om are overblown. It is 1% of the Mantra Sadhana. What matters most is the love, devotion and focus towards the deity.

Mahashodasi does not mean you will lose your wealth and roam in the Smasana. It will provide you both material and spiritual benefits. Both are interdependent on each other.

This is a brilliant exposition of the concept. The other master stroke that Raviji produced is the concept of aligning the breath with the mantra. I think aligning the breath is the most critical concept in Mantra Shastra. Thank you Raviji!

Aum Raviji,You have questioned if we add Om before Shiva mantra which already start with Om. The moola mantra of Shiva is "Namah Shivaya". These two words are exactly the two middle words of Rudram. Hence we do prefix the moola mantra with Om. Hope this answers your question.

Dear Shri Aum Ravi,Thanks for your clarification. In your comment, you mentioned that Panchadasi is for materialistic desires. Since Panchadasi is integrated into Mahasoadasi, will Mahasadasi also not lead to fulfillment of materialistic desires and then ultimately salvation?Also does your tradition prefix the nine lettered Chandi Mantra of Durga Saptashati with Om?You say that Mahasodasi does not start with Om, let's say if one does start it with Om, will it not qualify as Samputeekarana giving additional benefits of Om?
