There is no variation in addressing the pañcabhūta-s. However, if you include the name of the devata or devi as a suffix, then you may use devatāyai namaḥ or devyai namaḥ respectively. In general, what has been specified, is sufficient and is most commonly used. As always, follow what has been specified by your guru, as he/she is the final authority in these matters.

Namaste Guruji: Thank you for taking time to answer. I also understand that there are other variations of the Pañcapūjā. Here what is raised is may be related to the gender of the deity, I guess? E.g. "पृथिव्यात्मिकायै" etc. were only seen in the case of puja format for female deities (e.g. Bala Mantra Japa) and "पृथिव्यात्मने" etc. for male deities. Hence requested for correction as महागणपति being a male deity. Kindly clarify if it is interchangeably used irrespective of the gender of the deities. Thank you with pranam.

Namaste Guruji: Your patience to listen to the practitioners and care shown to provide detailed reply is unique and really appreciable. I liked the part most "he shorter part of the mantra in inhalation and the longer in exhalation" as the exhalation is supposed to be slow and longer than the inhalation. Thank you with pranam.

It is best to meditate upon the meaning of the verses and engage the mind upon it. If you are able to focus on a light and remain still, then that is fine as well. If you are performing japa, then you can recite a couple of verses and contemplate upon the Divine Mother. It is most important that we focus upon Her while chanting the mantra and not on our desires or anything else.

What is presented here is also what you are asking to be corrected. There are also other variations of the Pañcapūjā, which are practiced as well. We have listed what is most commonly used and it also exactly what you are asking.

Please take initiation from a practicing guru. All aspects of the mantra japa MUST be followed. In addition one must also perform the āvaraṇa pūja at regular intervals and recite the pāṭala and sahasranāma also, along with the kavaca and other stotras that may be suggested by the guru. This mantra is not suggested for self-initiation. It is best to seek guidance from a guru and follow the advice.
