Lalita Sahasranama is just not a hymn, expounding Her Grandeur. It is also a mantra. Every nama has one hidden beejakshara. Anything in mantra form should not be sung as a song with raga and swara. Listen to T.S Ranganathan CD in YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGRhM77OSU0

Can you please elaborate on why Lalitasahasranama should not be recited with raga or swara? Also, how should it be recited?

The Nyāsas are also highly recommended for mantra japa. These are to activate the nerve centers, increase concentration, as well as to offer protection to ourselves from any disturbances etc. The dhyāna verse is to help fix the deity in our mind, to whom the japa is to be offered. It's important to have deep concentration to enhance the quality of the japa. Consider this as a form of meditation. Since it's normally not possible to have no thoughts, it is also recommended that one go through at least 3 rounds of nāḍi śodhāna prāṇayama, also called alternate nostril breathing. This usually calms the mind and makes us ready for the mantra japa.

Any verse in Saundaryalahari will increase only the inner beauty. Generally, such hymns and verses concentrate only on the inner beauty of Consciousness and not on the perishable external beauty.

Please, can you direct me to a soundarya lahari verse that can help increase one’s beauty? Both PHYSICAL and aura? Is there a verse more suited to increasing BOTH physical looks, but also the magnetic attraction of the aura?

1. Yes, curse removal mantra should be chanted 100 times on the first day. Afterwards, curse removal mantra need not be chanted.  2. Dhyana verse is part of mantra japa.  3. Whole mantra japa can be chanted mentally.

So, I have three questions: 1. Does one NEED to do the curse mantra before chanting the Bala Navaksari mantra? 2. Does one NEED to chant certain Dhyana verses before chanting the Bala Navaksari mantra? 3. Can it be chanted mentally?

I havve only general Bhairava Gayatri. I don't think there is separate Gayatri for Vatuka Bhairava. This is the general Bharava Gayatri.  ॐ दिगंबराय विद्महे शूहस्ताय धीमहि तन्नो भैरव प्रचोदयात्॥ om digaṁbarāya vidmahe śūhastāya dhīmahi tanno bhairava pracodayāt ||

It is always better to have a mantra initiated through a Guru. In case this is not possible, please visit the mantra section for Bala mantra and video section for Bala mantra. Thinking of Lord Dakshinamurthy, initiate yourself.
