My Gratitude:Grateful, very grateful to Shri Raviji for his invaluable (amulya) series. Hope, this series will be useful to all. There are so many books on Navavarana puja available in vernacular languages. But this series in English with appropriate explanations, wherever necessary, will definitely useful to the needy. My sincere thanks, gratitude and gratefulness to Sri Raviji.I only suggest the needy to use this as a guide. I personally feel this puja first learn from a renowned guru and then practice their own. This is my personal opinion only.

I have heared that if a sāmayikā participating in the pooja dint bring their aathma patra, he can use a coconut shell for this purpose. so it is clear that aathma patra need not be in silver, it can also be of coconut shell.

Ātmapātrā is meant for the soul, hence there is no question of five pātrā-s. There is no specific rule that prohibits ātmapātrā should not be placed on the floor. A maṇḍala is drawn and only in the maṇḍala, it is placed. Similar is the case with Guru pātrā. But those who regularly perform navāvaraṇa pūjā make these maṇḍala-s engraved either on a wood or metal plate. In a nutshell, ātmapātrā can be placed within the maṇḍala, on the ground or one may choose to use a separate base, which can be placed on the maṇḍala and on this plate ātmapātrā can be placed. In this case, the plate is to be purified with astra mantra.

Please clear the remaining question of five patra with five mantra or one patra with all mantra'some said that atmapatra should always be placed on one small plate, should not be kept on earth directly. is it right rule?

Except iron any other metal can be used for ātmapātrā. Only one ātmapātrā is used irrespective of the mantras. Ātmapātrā is to be taken only in the right hand and not in the left hand. I am not sure about vāmācāra .

Dhyāna verses are available only for a few of these mantras. I will check for this and if available post them here. However, dhyāna verses are available for various krama-s of Kālī such as kādi, hādi, krodhādi, vāgādi, nādi, dādi and praṇavādi krama-s.

It is perfectly right. The difference is that the kumārī is invoked as Bālā.
