This varies per person. It is best NOT to exert oneself to try and fit the mantra, within a breathing cycle. If it requires more than one breathing cycle, so be it. Whatever calms our mind and arrests our attention, that should be the key. Over a period of time, when we are able to hold on to our breath for longer retention, then we can consider adjusting the mantra accordingly. The simplest for most people, is to work with just inhalation and exhalation. The shorter part of the mantra in inhalation and the longer in exhalation. It is very important that the breath must slow down and one should feel extremely relaxed with this exercise. If it is causing undue stress, then we are not going in the correct direction.

The corrections have been made. The devata is śrīmat pratyaṅgirā as mentioned in the verse.

Hello sir, namaste! This dhyana shloka is hard to pronounce. Also as Maa is form less, can we skip chanting this shloka and just meditate on her imagining a light? Or is it compulsory to meditate on the form mentioned in Dhyana Shloka?

Namaste Guruji: Shouldn’t the contents under item 5. Pañcapūjā पञ्चपूजा: and 9. Pañcapūjā पञ्चपूजा: in the above article be replaced with that shown below? लं - पृथिव्यात्मने गन्धं समर्पयामि। हं - आकाशात्मने पुष्पैः पूजयामि। यं - वाय्वात्मने धूपमाघ्रापयामि। रं - अग्न्यात्मने दीपं दर्शयामि। वं - अमृतात्मने अमृतं महानैवेद्यं निवेदयामि। सं - सर्वात्मने सर्वोपचार पूजाम् समर्पयामि॥ Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.

Namaste Guruji: I happened to listen to a video in YouTube where NONE of the 108+ श्रीविद्यापञ्चदशाक्षरी मन्त्रः chants were heard with the prefix ॐ, not even at the very beginning of the chant! ॐ was NOT seen in the script displayed as well. (Link will be provided for your quick review if required.) In other words it was NOT in conformity to the mantra format (ॐ ऐं ह्रीं श्रीं क ए ई ल ह्रीं - ह स क ह ल ह्रीं - स क ल ह्रीं) given herein the article, which I firmly follow. Kindly clarify (a) if there are two types of practices within the same school; if not, (b) to guide genuine seekers in the right direction! Thank you with pranam.

Sir, why are vidyas divided into 10, if maa is the same? If each form has a different purpose, when prayed, each of them give us different kinds of energies, right? If yes, what kind of energy does Kali maa worshippers get? Who should approach her? Thank you.

Namaste Guruji: I fail to relate the guidelines given in your reply dated May 01, 2014 05:39 PM (...........It would be ideal to fit one repetition during one inhalation/holding/exhalation/holding..........) with the one given here. Kindly advise which practice is qualitatively best irrespective of gaining more japa count within a breathing cycle. Thank you with pranam.
