There are 11 verses in Mantranahārṇavaḥ and this is named as Navadurgāvidhānam, which described about nine forms of Durga. I will write about this in due course.

There are only 7 Gayatri mantras in Upanishads - Rudra, Ganapti, Nandi, Shanmuga (Kartikeya, Garuda, BrahmA and Vishnu. Narasima Gayatri, Shakti Gayartri are also in Upanishad. However, there are innumerable Gayatri-s for various gods and goddesses, some of them are in Upanishads and other not. I will try to publish important Gayatris in due course.

This is explained in Praśna Upaniṣad in a subtle manner. According to this Upaniṣad (I.9), uttarāyaṇa means those who follow the spiritual path. Spiritual path is the path of knowledge to attain the Lord. Therefore, uttarāyaṇa means the path of knowledge leading to Self-realization and consequent liberation. When a soul is liberated, it is not reborn and this is what Kṛṣṇa meant Bhagavad Gītā VIII. The other path is dakṣiṇāyana, the path of rituals. According to this Upaniṣad those who perform Vedic rites and rituals with some desire in their minds (material desires) go to the ancestors (the moon) only to reborn again. But, this concept is often misunderstood and misinterpreted. After all, death cannot be predetermined by anyone. What matters is whether one follows the spiritual path or the ritual path; former leads to liberation and later leads to transmigration. Presently I am discussing this aspect in the series on Brahma Sūtra.

Mahavidyas are ten and not nine. I am waiting for curse removal mantras for 10 mahavidyas. I know there are curse removal mantras and I have seen them personally. But I am not able to get that particular book, which is not available anywhere now. I am trying to get that book and if I get it, I will publish as a separate post.

Thank you very much for the wonderful explanation. In bhaghavat geetha, 8th chapter Lord krishna says that the soul which leaves the body during the northern hemisphere of sun (uttarayana punayakalam will attain brahman and will not have rebirth at all)and during the dakshinayanan the same will subside in the moon and will be back to the earth again. kindly explain this in details for our understanding. Thank you

I am not sure and I have not heard about this. I will check for these links. But this is most unlikely.
