The 1:4:2 formula or the 1:4:2:2 (the last one is before breathing again) calms the mind and helps with meditation as well as for the mantra to sink deep into the mind. Fast breathing is akin to running and keeping the heart beating very fast. In such a scenario, it's hard to focus and remain calm, especially with mantras. One should eventually fall into a meditative state with great practice, while reciting the mantras. This is the same concept used with Kriya Yoga and other forms of kundalini meditation. The quality of the mantra japa recitation is more important than the quantity. One can see benefits with even 20-30% of the stipulated number of japas, if there is utmost concentration and devotion towards the mantra japa. My personal choice is the slow breathing technique. Many great stalwarts and Rishis can be observed in states, where they seem to be not breathing at all. With practice, the breathing becomes like a fine thread and the yogi/sadhaka appears to be in a breathless state.

We have a Durga and a Ucchista Ganesha folder in the Articles section. We will post the mantras and stotras in that folder. Not all articles make the front page appearance or may disappear very soon from the front page, but will be available in their respective folders. We will be adding many more folders as we go through the Dasa Mahavidyas and other deities. A lot to expect in the coming weeks, months and years!

One other method I have noticed is at Shreemaa Ashram(California). The method they use is to Inhale a lungful of air very fast and then exhale slowly while reciting the mantras. They recite Chandi Path/Saptashati and all other mantras(navarna mantra, shiva mantras, ganesh etc.,) with this method. For a small mantra like - say - Om Namah Shivaya - they inhale lungful very fast and then while exhaling they recite -Om Namah Shivaya 10 times. If it is Chandi Path then they inhale fast and recite a verse or two while exhaling. What Swamiji there said is that with practice we increase our time of exhalation by gradually increasing the number of repetitions while exhaling. I found this to be an easier and very effective technique to practice.

This also is one of the accepted methods of pranayama.

Thank you guruji. I have just come across a technique called 'Sagarbha Pranayama' (Inhalation, chant mantra while holding and exhalation) and everyone says it is more powerful than any other japa methods. What would you suggest personally? Thank you again.

Inhalation : holding : exhalation shroud be in the ration of 1:4:2. Accordingly you can adjust the mantra and align the japa mantra to your breath. For example, repeat the mantra one time and inhale. Hold your breath by repeating the mantra four times. Exhale, by repeating the mantra two times.
