If, while reciting this or similar stotram made available on manblunder, one occasionally pauses for maybe 6-24 seconds to glance over the meanings of the bījas, does the recitation lose effectiveness due to the disruption?

Thank you Krishnaji for your reply! How can I get or where can I get proper initiation? I plan to enter Sanyasa after retirement & completing other responsibilties. Can you guide me to where I can go?

This may be something that is meant to be kept secret during this Yuga, but perhaps there’s just a discrepancy of matter of taste in pronunciation of the IAST yai or ai at the end of divine names. I’ve learned, to my frustration, that my initiator of Śrī Candi Navaksari mantra, is aware of this pronunciation discrepancy, but does not correct it initially but instead leaves sadhakas to discover it for themselves before offering serious transfer of energy and sharing secret jnana. Perhaps I am being careless & immature here. What does the community think about this?

Thank you for pointing out the error. I have corrected it in the document.

In nāma 3, is the merger referred to which is called as laya, synonymous with what is known as sāyujya moksha, meaning to (I think) merge into and become one with the deity?

Namaskaram. In part 10, aṅganyāsaḥ, it appears maybe that mantras 4 & 5 are switched up. This observation is based on the movements not matching the words

This is one version of it. There may be others that we are not aware. Also please note that these mantras are ineffective without a proper initiation and japa vidhi.

In this mantra why the samputikarana is not done as mirror image? is this correct version?

Namaskaram. Regarding the pronunciation of ह्स्ख्फ्रेँ, the e (IAST) sound is pronounced how long, relative to say, one or two matras? Just today I was reading a bhairavite text stating that in the bija hskhprem, the e is pronounced short, like perhaps the length a gets (IAST), in contrast to the length ā gets (IAST). What is the proper length relative to the possible lengths of vowel utterance duration?

Namaskaram. I am trying to ascertain how to use this stotram efficiently & effectively in conjunction with my present sadhana. Perhaps it is best to complete or pause current mantra sadhana, and recite this stotram carefully, diligently, and with total faith some auspicious number of times. But how to discern such a number? Without many hours for daily focused meditation with minimal external distractions of commitments and attachments, it is especially hard to “hear” the communications of extra-dimensional beings, although they do answer questions. The setting and situation needed for consistent receptivity is generally elusive in modern life. Then there is in sleep, but that is hit or miss and in fact, depending on karma, one may even get conflicting or confounding information. That is doubly confounded by the time commitment and effort taken to regulate lucid dream and “Power Dream”. Please forgive this rambling while I am thinking through my question. Sometimes this yoga gets the very answer sought, but no such luck for me presently. What do you think? Perhaps appending this to the beginning of each day’s Japa puja, along with bhut lipi, makes more sense. Certainly it would be safer and less disruptive than discounting current mantra Japa in media res to chant this stotram maybe (with good pronunciation, focus, and some kind of Śrī Vidya initiation) 12,000 times (conservative estimate but not too conservative either. With correct procedures and prerequisites, maybe far fewer could be sufficient). Please when it is convenient, all guidance and advice on this matter is treasured like gold and diamonds.
