Śuddha Pañcadaśākṣarī is generally not initiated. Please follow as directed by your guru. Śrī Vidyā is a lifelong commitment and must be practiced in a certain manner (krama). Needless to say, these are extremely dangerous mantras and must be practiced under the guidance of a qualified guru. Take for instance the Khaḍgamālā, the garland of swords. This stotra is loaded with energy to cut our ego and it may do so in any manner it pleases. One may lose all their savings and become bankrupt, if the Divine Mother feels that is the best way to burn our karmas. It is therefore best to start with the krama paddhati (process) and move gradually up the ladder. I recently met a person who suffered immensely but carried on with the krama paddhati and after 15 long years of sādhana, he was given Saubhāgya Pañcadaśī. This gentleman has become very rich and amassed a lot of wealth and his secret was to practice in a gradual manner and wait patiently for the lower mantras to yield tangible results before proceeding with the higher ones. I understand that this is not what most of us seek or even what I went through, but I do subscribe to this thought process and believe firmly that the lower mantras need to be practiced for a few years to lay a very strong material foundation for us to make strides in the spiritual realm.

It is said that Guru's words override shastras. Can I follow Sri Ravi Guruji's words and chant Panchadasksari क ए ई ल ह्रीं ह स क ह ल ह्रीं स क ल ह्रीं mentally throughout the day?

The first letter of 'paramātmane' is 'pa' and the bindu (ṁ) is added to it to make it 'paṁ'. This bīja along with other mātṛkā seed mantras is discussed in this article - https://manblunder.com/articlesview/matrika-mantras

The best guidance we can provide at this time is to suggest you to go through the comments from learned scholars. As clearly mentioned by Shri Tripuraghna, this is an extremely dangerous mantra to follow and should only be practiced by advanced sādhakas who are guided to worship Her.

We don't have the expertise to answer this question and would suggest that you refer to the priest who has conducted the śrādh rituals for guidance.

On 12th day Saundi in the visway devar sthan a man was asked to sit. For 7 days from that day he is asauchi. In between if Amavasya comes can he perform tharpanam. Further he has to perform 4000 Gayathri from 8th day in 1000 or 500 per day as prayachittam for performing viswaydevar sthan, In sankalpam for Gayathri what he has to mention?
