How does one practice Hamsa meditation, which of the following would be the correct approach 1 - Chanting Hamsa (Ha during exhalation then contemplate during internal kumbhaka and Sa during inhalation and contemplation of Sa during external kumbaka) 2 - Soham (So during inhalation then contemplate during internal kumbhaka and ham during exhalation and contemplation of ham during external kumbaka) 3 - Soham Hamsa (Soham during inhalation and Hamsa during exhalation) 4 - Hamsa Soham (Hamsa during inhalation and Soham during exhalation) 5 - Soham Hamsa (So - inhale, ham - exhale, ham - inhale and sa - exhale and vice versa for Hamsa Soham)

No. Siddhi mantra is a personal mantra containing bijaksharas. Shiva Panchakshari mantra is considered as Supreme mantra, which also forms the central part of Yajur Veda.

Since the Siddhi mantra is nothing but Shiva mantra. Is it ok to do anustana of siddhi mantra based on the above process?

Devi is Prakaśa Vimarśa Mahāmāyā Svarupiṇi. She will surely fulfill our legitimate desires. But it all depends upon our karmas and more than that, the intensity of our devotion to Her.

This verse talks about Vishnu being attractive enough to attract even Lord Shiva. You state it is imperative one should worship Devi to get his desires fulfilled. Can this verse also show that Devi can make the seemingly impossible come true? Devi can grant even impossible wishes? Is this accurate?

Yes, bhakti alone is importnat. When bhakti is at its peak, we can feel tears rolling down our cheeks.

Sauandaryalahari verses are for bhakti, probably bhkati of the highest order. It establishes a strong connection between the one who renders and Parashakti.  Mundane recitation will not help. One has to be totally involved with a particular verse of series of verses. When this is practiced over a period of time, one enters into total bhakti. I am not sure whether SL verses can produce vibrations. In general, only mantra containing bijas can alone produce subtle vibrations in the body.

I've read somewhere that the mere chanting of a sloka in the Soundarya lahari, just the vibration of the words being uttered, is in and of itself bhakti. The mere attempt at chanting of one or multiple slokas is showing devotion. Is this true?

So, when it comes to the Soundarya Lahari, the number of repetitions doesn't matter, just devotion. I've read from some places that merely reciting Soundarya Lahari verses and the vibration of the words being chanted, is in itself bhakti and devotion. Is this true?

"As Ravi ji pointed out, Utmost Devotion (bhakti) is the most essential part of spiritual practices." Does this mean that when it comes to the Soundarya Lahari for example, the NUMBER of repetitions do not matter, as long as there is devotion?
