"ha" and "sa" both are derived from "hamsa" mantra.. "sa" is meant for inhalation and "ha" is meant exhalation. The important point here is inhalation and exhalation. which means union of Shakti and Shiva. It is the inhalation and exhalation that matters and not specific mantra for inhalation or exhalation. There should be no holding of breath.

Dear Raviji, Usually a mantra has a sequence and changing that sequence usually gives no results. I am a bit confused about the possibility of chanting the mantra in both ways, HA>SA or SA>HA Can you please explain me why both ways are correct? Finally, do I old my breath between HA and SA? I Namaskar, J.

Krishna ji.... (1) Small doubt, can the nyasa with done with other mantras of the pratangira devi for this khadgamala stotram? (2) Also, request to post the avarana puja for the pratyangira devi and (3) tarpana vidhanam (if we have it separately like srividya devatas).... Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge !!! Sri Matre Namah....

Whenever initiations are not possible, you can visualize Lord Dakshinamurthy as your Guru and proceed.

Much obliged dear Raviji, Last but not least, I am aware that initiation is mandatory to receive the blessings of the mantra. Since, here in the west it is very hard to find a Guru, do you think that we still can benefit from the HAMSA mantra without initiation? I red that the HAMSA mantra is the supreme Diksha. Sincerely, Namaskar, Joao Fernandes

Raviji, Is there a Shapoddhara/Utkeelan Mantra for Sri Maha Ganapati mantra? According to Kamalanandanatha of Simhee Aparajita Mantrayalayam, Arunachalam, the following is the Shapoddhara Mantra Om Shreem Hreem Kleem Gam Em Krom Keelaya Keelaya Swaha (to be recited 4 times before starting Mahaganapati Mantra Japa) After that "Om Gam Hroom Goom Hreem Phat Kalpadyaya nama Swaha Om Ganapataye Namaha Om Shetave Namaha" and so on. Rest of the process detailed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDLgQUc3gwU (sorry its in telugu but mantras can be heard) thanks

Both ha and sa can be used either for inhalation or exhalation. Both are correct. For pranayama during mantra japa, please read this article https://www.manblunder.com/articlesview/aligning-breath-with-mantra  You can use Rudraksha mala for doing japa of hamsa mantra.

I will move to separating the malas. Thanks Krishnaji. I doubt the mala makers are so organized to influence & create a practice like this :)

Dear Raviji, I have found in my research two versions of the HAMSA mantra, sometimes advising to exhale HA and inhale SA, and sometimes the other way around, how can we be sure which one is the correct? I have heard also that some people do Pranayama while chanting the mantra, do you know about this? And finally, can I use my Rudraksha Mala to chant the HAMSA mantra? Appreciate, Namaskar Joao Fernandes
