Sir, why is there a need to replace the 2nd OM with one's own atma bija? What does atma bija signify? What if 2nd OM is not replaced?

Agree to disagree. It is like saying you will take the rules of Homeopathy and apply to Allopathic medicine. There is no "universal" pramana in Tantras that suggest Om should be added before all mantras. On the contrary, as that mandalee article points out, converse is true - some tantras specifically state not to much around by adding extra anything. None of the traditional living lineages of Shreevidya today add extra bijas to the already complete Mahashodashi

That, in my opinion, is not accurate. Every major Tantra talks about puraścraṇa of praṇava. Take Prapancasāra for example: दीक्षितो मनुमिमं शतलक्षं संजपेत्‌ प्रतिहुनेच्च दशाम्शम्‌ । पायसैर्घृतयुतैश्च तदन्ते विप्रभूरुहभवाः समिधो वा ॥

There are various pranavas like śākta pranava, etc. Every single letter originate from Pranava only. In other words, it gives birth to other letters. There may be plenty of explanations for origin of other pranavas. But, the fact remains is that all these are born out of Pranava ॐ. If you can read these two articles, you will agree that all mantras should start with OM. https://www.manblunder.com/articlesview/importance-of-om-at-the-beginning-of-all-mantras Anulom and vilom are related pranayama.

Hi sir, I have seen a lot of discussion going on regarding the OM bija preceeding the maha shodashi mantra. I read somewhere that devi is called pachasanaseena, which means she has 5 asanas (panchadigasana, panchakalasana, panchabhutasana, panchamukhasana and PANCHAPRANAVASANA) If we consider PANCHAPRANAVASANA, pancha pranavas are śrīṁ, hrīṁ, klīṁ, aiṁ, sauḥ. These are a part of maha shodashi mantra in the form of anuloma and viloma (I don't know what anuloma and viloma is, I only read it). So, there is no necessity to add OM in the beginning of this maha mantra. I would like you to throw some light on this. Thank you.

The pronunciation is "sam-haa-riNI". The word in Sanskrit mean the Destroyer/Annihilator.

From the bagala pratyangirah kavach, Is it pronounced as samhaarini or sanghaarini. I am confused with the pronounciation. Your help is kindly appreciated.
