Guru pāduka can be obtained from the initiating guru, if you have been initiated into Śrī Vidya. There is a general śloka that goes like this - सदाशिव समारम्भाम्। शङ्कराचार्य मध्यमाम्। अस्मदाचार्य पर्यन्ताम्। वन्दे गुरु परम्पराम् ॥ sadāśiva samārambhām। śaṅkarācārya madhyamām। asmadācārya paryantām। vande guru paramparām ॥ The word 'asmad' can be replaced with the dīkṣa nāma (guru given name) of the current guru.

Yes, that is correct. Also please note, that external recitation is also permitted and followed by many.

हरि: ॐ श्री गुरुब्यो नाम: मुमुक्षु has to say मोक्ष along with " दर्शन भाषण" in the Viniyoga? Self-realization/liberation was the only पुरुषार्थम् discussed with my गुरुजि. Kindly advise. धन्यवाद. हरि: ॐ श्री गुरुब्यो नाम:

हरि: ॐ श्री गुरुब्यो नाम: "Whole mantra japa can be chanted mentally" with exception of Nyāsas to be done physically touching the body, right? धन्यवाद, हरि: ॐ

हरि: ॐ श्री गुरुब्यो नाम: Please let me know the traditional श्लोक for contemplation on Guru lineage beginning with Lord Sadashiva wherein the initiated could say one's recent Guru's name at the beginning of जप? I believe it would be available in this website under certain folder. Also is it right in modern times to request for the picture of one's Guru (electronic) for contemplation? धन्यवाद, हरि: ॐ

Better to follow the prescribed procedure to regulate and slow down our breath during mantra japa.

This is what we have posted. https://www.manblunder.com/articlesview/sri-raja-matangi-ekottarasataksara-mantra-japa The mantra you are referring to could be in Mātaṅgi Tantra or other associated Tantra and Mantra manuals. If we find it, we will post it. In the meantime, you may request the details from your dīkṣa guru as well.
