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.

So, a guru’s initiation isn’t necessary for Bālā navākṣarī mantra? I have no access to guru or temples. And I need the grace of Devi to help me. Thank you

Just another note on the ‘ng’ and ‘ṃ’ pronunciations from a tantra perspective. The ‘ng’ (angakār) pronunciation is purely vamacāri and later adopted by kaulacāris. Also, it’s specific to North East and North India, the fountainhead of Tantras. The ‘ṃ’ (makār) pronunciation is Vedic and safest, and also adopted by all margās or traditions across South India. The ‘ng’ one is supposed to be “very powerful” and therefore may require intoxication, sex etc, as per Kaulācāris and Vāmācāris. Having practiced both ‘ng’ and ‘ṃ’ versions of the exact same mantras (mātangi, bagalā, ucchiṣṭa gaṇapati) over several years, I can categorically say that both have the same effect and there’s no “requirement” as such. Besides, None of this information has been documented on the angakārs pronunciation, or commented upon by great kaulācāryās like Bhaskara rāya Mākin etc. in any of the major or minor tantra shastras or bhashyās (commentaries). This is more of an oral tradition that's being followed by tantrics from certain regions. Nevertheless, great tantric masters like Harish Jowari and others have used the 'ng' pronunciation and spelling in their English translation of the tantric mantras. One can follow the tradition that appeals to them the most.

Dear Krishna, yes am in total agreement with you and we should follow the instructions given by the Sri Guru to the dot. I also try to practice the way it is been taught by Sri Ravi Guruji without any dilution. Since I was always curious to know the differences between Aim or Aing, I thought this video will give a different perspective. I am not sure about the results as I have not practiced in both the ways.

Dear Santosh, The co-relation to the soma cakra and the bijā mantras ending with "ṃ" or "ng" , from a kaulācāra and vāmācāra perspective, is very informative and new to me! Thank you for sharing the video link. The cerbro spinal fluid that gets generated from the pineal gland, is best withheld through the Khecarī Mudrā. The cerebro spinal fluid getting replenished with the angkāra and/or with liquor/madya in controlled quantities, is not supported by all sāmpradāyas or traditions. The guru is supreme in all these aspects and one should follow the tradition and mantras suggested, including the pronunciation. Those practicing the tantric way, must seek the proper guidance of a guru and proceed accordingly. As a note, I have performed the śrī mātangi sadhana on the guidance of a vāmācāra tantric guru using the 'ng' pronunciation. He did insist that I follow the same mantra pronunciation. I followed the same tradition for the śrī bagalāmukhi and śrī ucchiṣṭa gaṇapati sādhanas that I was initiated into, as well. My śrī vidyā guru insisted that I perform the śrī vidyā mantra sādhanas with the "ṃ" pronunciation. The "ṃ" pronunciation is very widely accepted down in the south by both tantrics and vedic folks and considered very safe. Based on my practice with both "ng" and "ṃ" pronunciations, My preference is to the "ṃ" method. Honestly, I did not notice any replenishment nor replacement of any cerebro-spinal fluids with the mantras I continue to practice. This aspect is more applicable at the highest levels of sādhana and kuṇḍalini activation.

Dear Krishna, with all due respects to your explanation, somewhere I feel that it is not just about pronunciation the way you have explained. I was also very curious about the difference between Aim or Aing, Shreem or Shreeng and was doing lot of search. Finally I found this video which seems to be very convincing. Request you to please watch this video especially from 28th minute or 31st minute. I think here the explanation is more scientific and clearly explains the difference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4UhUvqrl7s

Is there any mula mantra for Ucchishta Ganapati. What I see from other websites is this - is this the right one? "ॐ नमो भगवते एकदम्ष्ट्राय हस्ति मुखाय लम्बोदराय उच्छिष्ट महात्मने आं क्रों ह्रीं गं घे घे स्वाहा om namo bhagavate ekadamṣṭrāya hasti mukhāya lambodarāya ucchiṣṭa mahātmane āṁ kroṁ hrīṁ gaṁ ghe ghe svāhā"
