Thank you for pointing out the error. I have corrected the same.

A correction. "vaśahamānaya" occurs throughout section (b) seems to be a typographical error. It has to be corrected as "vaśamānaya" as mentioned in the table found in section (a).

He is always quite detail oriented and deals elaborately on the subject. I think this is what makes this author so unique.

Since Mahaganapati mantra is not too long, it can be easily recited in one breath or two counts in one breath. If you are not comfortable with this, reduce your breathing rate. You can read the following explanation. Now inhale by expanding your abdomen and slightly pushing your head back (count between 4 and 6) - hold the breath for a few seconds (may be you can count between 6 to 9) within - exhale slowly by contracting your abdomen (may be you can count the same 6 to 9) and bring down your head close to chest - do not inhale and hold inhalation for a few seconds (may be 2 to 4). This completes one round. Now let us calculate. At the lowest numbers 4 + 6 + 6 + 2 = 18At the highest numbers 6 + 9 + 9 + 4 = 28 At the lowest numbers your breathing rate would be 3.30 per minuteAt the highest numbers you breathing rate would be 2.14 per minute You can modify the numbers to suit your comfort zone. There is no need to follow these numbers as they are only illustrative in nature. During this practice, please ensure that your breathing does not exceed 4 per minute. At the time of exhalation, you have to visualize that you are exhaling through your spine. When you visualize this, you will feel pressure from your heat chakra onwards towards sahasrara.

Dear Sir,Kindly advise is it possible to split MahaGanapathy as well into different Kutas or should we complete full mantra during Inhalation and second time during exhalation.

Your priest is right. There are exceptions given in Garuda Purana. Only in those cases, it is not suggested. Please refer Garuda Purana II.26.

respected guruji, my mom passed away on august 30th, therefore the priest has instructed me to do sapindikarana , my dad is still alive and you have written"Sapiṇḍīkaraṇa should not be performed if the deceased’s father is alive and in the case of a woman, if her husband is alive. i am in a state of confusion. please clarify

The second one is mostly used in Śrī Vidyā tradition. One recitation of Pañcadaśī mantra is equivalent to three repetitions of Turya Gāyatrī. It is also said that Turya Gāyatrī gives liberation.
