Greetings everyone. Does anyone know the specific complexion (skin color) of Uchhishta Ganapati associated with the 32-letter mantra? While the Dhyana Shloka for the 9-letter infant form describes him as 'रक्त तनुम्' (red-complexioned), the Shloka for the 32-letter deity doesn't explicitly mention a color. I would appreciate any insights or scriptural references on this.

Namaste Jayanth Ji, I have a follow up question. You say that we should do japa of our ishta devatha for an hour daily, how do other practices such as avarna puja, stotras of that devata fall into place for our daily practice? How do we prioritize things in the little time that we do have?

Namaste Tīvra, regarding your earlier point about Tripura Bhairavi being a form of knowledge without restrictions—does this suggest that her mantra, ह्स्रैँ ह्सक्ल्रीँ ह्स्रौः, can be chanted openly and without specific initiation, much like the chanting of नमः शिवाय?

Becoming calm is one of the noticeable effect of proper sadhana, bhakti will happen naturally when you are placed in sadhana deeply. Becoming a better person, reduction of hatred etc are signs of progress.

Namaste. My question is what will be the experience if u omit the om from the navarna mantra and chant the kunjika stotram leaving all the steps as given

nashmkm, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa said like, "I've pronounced the sacred name of Goddess; how can any impurity stay in me?!" - if you like, read the chosen parts of his Gospel. He also realised the 64 tamtras with an amazing she-Guru. But publicly he spoke only simple ways of purity and bhakti

hi Bam. you need to feel your right to follow any mantra. i want to tell you about the first time i took a Kali's mantra without a straight initiation: there were two initiated by my Guru into this mantra ones whom i knew, and one of them was dead, and the second abandoned the Path. so i felt that it was offencive towards the mantra to be forgotten, i felt very upset about Kali being lost, and took up and practiced it, feeling my magic right. well, i never felt a regret about it; i started building my sadhana, year by year taking new steps with the help of Manblunder. the fact is that you cannot control mantra sadhana: it controls you, it is greater than you. so how do you think to manage a sadhana of several mantras.. it is possible only through guidance; when you totally believe in the one who guides you, anything is possible. if you truly adore your Mahaganapati, you may be guided anyway by Him - just make your relations not abstract, but totally real
