This is a tantric mantra that does not start with om̐. I would strongly suggest to use the nyāsa-s at least the kara and aṅga. After performing about 30,000 japa or after aligning with breath, one can skip if time does not allow it. I would however strongly suggest following the prescribed method to protect oneself, from any harm and obstacles towards mantra japa. In your case, Saubhāgya Pañcadaśi seems to be working well. I would suggest that you stick to the same mantra. There is no need to go for other mantras. The option is however left to you. I normally don't suggest anyone to practice more than one mantra at a time, although many continue to do so, either openly or secretly. We have the feeling that more benefits can accrue from chanting many mantras. It may not be true, as the same benefits may accrue from the same mantra, when chanted more number of times. It is best to dedicate more time towards the mantra japa of one mantra vs splitting time to recite many mantras. You may complete the prescribed japa of one mantra and then proceed to another or at least make a commitment of reciting x number of japa for one mantra, before proceeding to another. Please do consider getting an initiation or if you cannot find an appropriate guru, you may go through the self-initiation procedures at least.

Very valuable information sir. I have been chanting Sowbhagya Panchadasi Mantra for quite sometime now. I hardly do the mantra japa for a couple of minutes a day. I don't do any nyasas. I only chant the main mantra. But still, mata is with me helping in many ways. But now a days I am being attracted towards Kali, Pratyangira and other fierceful ugra deities, I don't know why. So, now I have stopped here at Kamakala kali. I want to start the japan of the mantra which is given in Mahakala Samhita (trailokyakarsana mantra, as lord siva himself addressed that even with countless heads over countless yugā-s (epochs), He would not be able to describe it's power and greatness). I truly don't believe in anga nyasa, kara nyasa and other nyasas. I will start chanting the trailokyakarsana mantra alone and leave the rest to the ultimate Maa. Any suggestions will be appreciated, thank you!!!

Thank you sir. I have read the articles and it is mentioned "It is also that ॐ is the root mantra out of which all other mantra arise. It is clear that without ॐ in the beginning of any mantra, rest of the bījākṣara-s of a mantra will not have any power." Does this mean the "trailokyakarṣaṇa mantraḥ" is powerless?

1. Some mantras are regarded as very secretive because of their inherent power that only few adepts might gain and experience. For example, this particular mantra is described by Lord Śiva in the Mahākāla Saṃhitā, that even with countless heads over countless yugā-s (epochs), He would not be able to describe it's power and greatness. There is only surviving manuscript of this document found in Nepal. Gurus even avoided disseminating this knowledge to their disciples unless they were excellent and highly worthy. To describe further, such power or force is quite significant in transforming the fate of the devotee and bestowing auspicious results. 2. This mantra is a precursor to the Mahāṣoḍaśa nyāsā-s that are said to help one achieve even the most impossible tasks, if one gains siddhi. This is also a necessity for those intending to recite the kāmakalākālī trailokya kavacam. As mentioned above, the benefits are said to be immense. Spiritual transformation appears to be a surety. All Kāli mantras are said to bestow siddhis or magical powers, if one gains siddhi through utmost devotion to the Divine Mother. If not siddhi, one will surely obtain the material benefits. Both are considered a deterrence towards higher spiritual pursuits and one or both may get bestowed to test our perseverance. 3. Mantra japa is also karma. Any action we perform, accumulates karma. It is very common to not experience any benefit through mantra recitation in a short period of time. There are various reasons for it and can be learned in the series of articles such as - Fructification of mantras,  understanding mantras etc. 4. Mantras do burn karmas. There are many who have experienced self-realization through śrī vidyā and Mahāṣoḍaśi mantras. With a lot of effort, patience and a spiritual bent of mind, one can definitely see some difference with mantra japa. For some, it may take a few months and for most people, including myself, it takes many years to experience a change. In my own case, I had no idea of how to perform mantra japa and for many years, could not find a guru to help. Those that I found initially, only sought money and taught nothing. All I can say is, if you have found a true guru and/or good information to help you on your spiritual path, then you are very lucky. One of the biggest pitfalls in mantra japa, is seeking wish-fulfillment. Although this is the very reason most of us take up mantra japa, it is best NOT to seek anything from the deity or mantra. You may be surprised with what all you may get, if you do not seek anything! Lastly, One needs to have faith and perseverance. The rest will follow. I do not know if what you are seeking is in my reply. But it is surely there somewhere hidden on this website. Continue to stir this ocean of knowledge called manblunder and you may find your answer. Good luck!

Mantras without om̐ at the beginning are generally avoided. Please refer to the article below for more details. Importance of OM I would also recommend various rituals recommended in the article - Fructification of mantras Unless you are very experienced in tantra and have a good concept of the various tools of tantras, It is best to avoid the mantras without om̐ at the beginning. 

Nice explanation, sir. As you have mentioned 'more safer', may I ask what kind of effects take place which are not safe while practicing the akarshana mantra, the one without om?

Namaste! 1) I have been hearing the words similar to 'powerful' regarding certain mantras. I am confused on what exactly 'powerful/forceful' is. Could you please throw some light on this? 2) What kind of changes can one expect around them after chanting this trailokyakarṣaṇa mantraḥ? 3) Also, one says that results vary based on our karma. But, if this mantra is said to burn all the karmas, results are obvious, right? 4) So, if a person who is carrying a heavy load of karma burden, starts chanting this mantra with devotion, will his karmas be annihilated? And he gets all that he wanted and desires fulfilled(of course, only legal desires)? I am sure you will answer these questions. Thanks a lot for that.

Thanks for Providing the valuable mantra Information. Really blessed.
