Ravi, I only know prayers in Roman English - "OM" - I do not speak/read/write any other languages but English. Names or Verse is okay. Thank You!

I have no personal experience on this. But, while reciting certain mantras, it works on mūlādhāra chakra and produce heat and this heat moves to navel chakra affecting one's digestive capacity. If the heat is intent (this is very rare), it affects all the psychic chakras and cause imbalance among them. Remedies in such cases are very limited. One has to consume more of milk and milk related products, fruits, etc to bring down the heat. If one thinks that the heat is too much to bear, then he should strop reciting that mantra. Ultimately, such mantras are to be recited after getting initiated from a proper Guru. He can stop the generation of heat through some means.

There is a lot difference between what Vedas say and what other Scriptures say. Vedas stop with some verses that worship preta, or the dead body. It is the normal respect all of us give to a dead body. Shatra-s are later versions, compiled for convenience. The moment the death happens, the Self within goes away along with sub-conscious mind, either to be born again or for a sojourn in Cosmos or merger with Brahman. If we consider Soul as God Himself, to whom we offer these rituals? To God? Obviously not. How we can do karma for God? Is it right in the first place? Suppose we do karma for the subconscious mind of the departed, do we have enough power to modify his karmic account. Even God does not do this.

Ravi, nowadays in the western world, lets be realistic - what if you have no-one to do any prayers. What happens when all that is done is the dead body is cremeated? Is it okay to throw the ashes in the water? - if you are lucky to have someone to do it. Can such a person say or do any prayers before death?Please give Yama gayatri, mantra, stotra, etc.Thank You!

I like to look at the MahaKali Dasmukhi picture as one can think of Shiva as well.

Thank you. You want this in the form of verse or in the form of nāma-s. When you say japa, it has to be in the form of verse only. I have this in Sanskrit and Tamil.

For that matter, any mantra is guhya (secret). I don't think that there is any significance attached to guhya, as at the end of every mantra, it is always said that the mantra is highly secretive in nature and should not be imparted everyone. If you visualize Kālī in the way it She is described in this dhyāna verse, it is but natural that one's mind gets agitated due to the repulsive nature of Her description. According to me, one should have reached a certain level of spirituality to contemplate Her. Otherwise, it could afflict weak minds.
