हरि: ॐ Thank you for your clarification. Of late external recitation exhausts me! Today's mental japa was above 1000 count over several hours with short breaks in between. हरि: ॐ

Namaste Krishnaji, Can you please let me know which is the authentic Sri Matangi Gayatri Mantra from an authentic scriptural source? "Om Matangyai cha vidmahe ucchista chandalyaicha dhimahi tanno devi prachodayat" "Om shuka priyayai vidmahe sri kameshwaryai dhimahi tanno shyama prachodayat"

Hello. Thank you for this wonderful explanation. So if we have to do more than 15 counts, how do we do it? Like giving a break in between? I didn't knew about this restriction and I usually do for 3 minutes straight 1 per second.

There is no such reference in this mantra.

Guru pāduka can be obtained from the initiating guru, if you have been initiated into Śrī Vidya. There is a general śloka that goes like this - सदाशिव समारम्भाम्। शङ्कराचार्य मध्यमाम्। अस्मदाचार्य पर्यन्ताम्। वन्दे गुरु परम्पराम् ॥ sadāśiva samārambhām। śaṅkarācārya madhyamām। asmadācārya paryantām। vande guru paramparām ॥ The word 'asmad' can be replaced with the dīkṣa nāma (guru given name) of the current guru.

Yes, that is correct. Also please note, that external recitation is also permitted and followed by many.

हरि: ॐ श्री गुरुब्यो नाम: मुमुक्षु has to say मोक्ष along with " दर्शन भाषण" in the Viniyoga? Self-realization/liberation was the only पुरुषार्थम् discussed with my गुरुजि. Kindly advise. धन्यवाद. हरि: ॐ श्री गुरुब्यो नाम:

हरि: ॐ श्री गुरुब्यो नाम: "Whole mantra japa can be chanted mentally" with exception of Nyāsas to be done physically touching the body, right? धन्यवाद, हरि: ॐ
