My limited intellect has chronically struggled to grasp the functions of the tamas guna. In this most exquisite stotram, the Divine Mother Siddhilakshmi Pratyangirā is called the vessel of tamas and also kaliduḥsvapna-śamanīṃ, the destroyer of the nightmares of our present Yuga, which in my slight understanding are largely tamasic in nature. If time allows and Divine Mother approves, I humbly request Śrī Krishnaji And Śrī Tripuraghnaji to please shed further light on the Tamas guna during this Kali Yuga.

It's not wise to chant mantra while driving or doing any activity that requires your attention and can lead to physical harm. What Krishna says is valid, however if you travelling as passanger, or lying down or doing something which is safer you can do mental chanting. You need to focus on Manas chakra above ajna for ajapa to happen

Thanks again.Yes, you are right. It is always risky to mentally chant while mind and body are preoccupied with something else like driving. My question was more related to safe situations like when we are casually walking in garden or are at home lying on bed. We switch on to entertainment options like Netflix to kill time. I thought better chant than watch blood and sex on Television. Thanks for your kindness Krishnaji.

I almost got into an accident by keeping my focus on the mantra and breath, rather than the road while driving. This is when I decided it is better not to recite the mantra while performing mundane activities. I informed Ravi ji at that time and he suggested that I desist from concentrating on the mantra while driving. This is a very logical thing to do and by extension it applies to all mundane activities. You can definitely follow whatever suits you best. The advice of your guru in this matter overrides everything. Also, if the mantra becomes "ajapa" due to meditation or sleep recitation etc, then it is automatically getting recited at all times and in my opinion, it is a sign pointing to activation in the near future.

Make a small locket or bracelet containing the mantra and the Khaḍgamālā and tie it to the left arm of your sister. Bracelet can be of any metal that is not allergic to her. She can also wear it as a locket and can be worn at all times. This should ensure 24 x 7 protection. It is very important for your sister to have faith that the Divine Mother Pratyaṅgirā is protecting Her. As long as she has that kind of faith, no bad entity can harm her.

Thanks a lot for responding to my comment. However, if mental chanting throughout the day is not recommended by you, then why did Raviji recommend mental chanting throughout the day, even while doing mundane activities like lying down, etc. See his comments above in response to someone's question. I am referring to his comments made on Sept 11, 2013 and also Sept 5, 2013. No offense respected Krishnaji but aren't your views on mental chanting in conflict with Raviji's comments above? Also, I feel that it is better to keep chanting the Panchadashi mantra mentally rather than thinking about mundane thoughts of our daily lives. It is not about rushing through the mantra count but to keep HER as our centre of existence, consciously and unconsciously. Maybe I am wrong because I don't know if there are any negative effects of mentally chanting this particular mantra throughout the day and doing the procedural part (nyasa, karanyasah etc) only once during morning japa. Can others here also share their experience if they have tried mental chanting of the Panchadashi through out the day? Thanks.

It is recommended to follow the japa procedures strictly. Yes, we can try to align the mantra with the breath at a later stage, after sufficient japa has been done (a few hundreds of thousands - lakhs). I do not recommend repeating a mantra at all times without the proper contemplation of the deity and/or the mantra. Instead of repeating the mantra, you may focus on the effects of the mantra, its composition and on any one or two attributes of the deity to gain a greater understanding and strengthen your spiritual footing. It is not easy reciting hundreds of thousands of mantra japa count and this may take a few years in some cases. It is best to do this properly than rush through and tell ourselves that we have chanted day in and day out doing mundane things, but yet the mantra has not activated within us despite our best efforts. You must be aware that mantra japa alone does not bring benefits. It has to be followed up with sufficient āvaraṇa pūja, kavacam, stotram etc. We have to activate it within ourselves through all these tools and then access/harness its power externally. A mantra such as this, whose power is infinite, also has a string of follow-up nyāsas that maybe relevant to fulfilling our desires.
