You can continue to recite the Gāyatrī mantra and Śrī Tārā Aṣṭottaraśatanāma stotram with clear understanding of the meaning of each of the attributes specified in the stotram. You may seek a guru if you wish to get initiated into any specific mantra or order. You may look up the mantra initiations page on the top of our website for more information and it is definitely not necessary that you seek help from us. It is important that you find a practicing guru for an initiation.

All the letters are pronounced. No silent letters.

It is inline with the mantras of Śrī Tārā Devī on this website.

Thank you, Krishna sir. @Богдан S is pronounced I believe. My doubt was only with the next syllable:)

Is the letter "S" not pronounced at the beginning? Sphrom?

It is a 'Ph' sound, a stressed 'P'. I would recommend listening to its pronunciation in any Sankrit alphabet pronunciation audio/video. It should not be confused with the general Hindi pronunciation of 'F' that is a soft sound of this letter derived from Middle-Eastern languages. Also, please do not consider reciting this mantra without a proper initiation from a learned and practicing guru. It simply won't work otherwise.

They stand on their own. For Śrī Vidyā upāsakas, the Laghu Ṣoḍhā nyāsa covers the worship of the grahas, rāśis and nakṣatras.

Hi sir, how do we pronounce the beeja स्फ्रोँ? Should it be F sound or P sound?
