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?

Dear Respected Readers,Thank you for your active participation. Following are my replies to various queries raised by the article followers.1. There is no need to chant Om before chanting of Maha Sodasi. This opinion was clearly given in the article.2. The bija Om is sixth in Maha Sodasi mantra and meaning of which was given by Shri Raviji in his main article. Please read carefully Shri V.Ravijis main article. He clearly differentiated between first Om and sixth Om.3. Yes, mahsodasi has also traits of Om.4. I am referring to sixth bija (Om) of maha sodasi. As per our tradition we don't chant Om before start of Maha Sodasi. 5. No references available with me for replacing Om with Atma bija. Hope above clarified the various queries raised by devotees.
