It is best to recite the mantra in the mind itself. It should be like a thought process in your mind. Meditation upon the deity and the meaning of the mantra while chanting it mentally and fall asleep naturally.

Namaste. There are books written on Chandas and its construction. It is considered an essential study in Sanskrit literature as it is mentioned in the composition of mantras, stotras etc and widely used. It is not as simple as the number of mātṛas since there are other sub components and variations within each Chandas which may have a different specification of the mātṛas etc. Also, based on the class of the Chandas, the meters will have a different number specified for the syllable count. We must also understand how the syllables are to be counted, their weightage and pauses in the pādas etc.. Based on the Śrī Vidyā lineage, the Ṛṣi is either Hayagrīva (possibly pūrvāmnāya), Ānanda Bhairava (generally attributed to Ūrdhvāmnāya) or Dakṣiṇāmūrti (possibly paścimāmnāya and/or anuttarāmnāya).

In pancapuja seems to be a mistake in Sanskrit. Mahaganapati is male deity, so पृथिव्यात्मने is kind of more suitable than पृथिव्यात्मिकायै and so forth with tattvas, isn't it?

The authenticity of Dakshina Kali, with her mantra, is confirmed by: Kali Upanishad, Kalika Upanishad, Shyama Upanishad, Parayana Upanishad. And which texts of the Śruti category confirm the authenticity of other forms and mantras of Kali?

Namaste, My sincere appreciation for continuing to maintain this site with such wealth of practical knowledge and guidance for spiritual seekers. Over the years I have contemplated on many topics presented here, and the questions and answers by other souls yearning for knowledge. Sometimes something very basic bothers me a lot. 1. How is Ma Bala's mantra in pankti chandas (10x10x10)? Is it like aim = 3 matra, kleem = 4 matra and sauhu = 3 matra? 2. How is the divine Pancadashi in gayatri chandas (8x8x8)? Is that based on varying duration of Hreem? 3. Does the Rishi's name used in Nyasa change depending on Guru lineage? For example, is it always Dakshina murthy rishi to be saluted for Ma Bala's mantra? Similarly, is it always Anandabhairawa for Pancadashi? Pranams Anil
