Namaste!
I have read many of your texts and advice. As I'm French, I'm not very fluent to write in English...
I would like to know how to align this mantra with the breath. Can I do this jap without initiation ?
I thank you very much

Thank you very much for your reply, Sir !

I already read your article and wanted to know how "cutting" the mantra. My breath is long enough so that I could
"say" it in one part.
Would you accept my request ?

If you can work on your breath, there is nothing like reciting the full mantra during
inhalation, retention, exhalation and again retention outside, before we make the next
inhalation..

The idea is to slow down the breath. So(https://manblunder.com)
it would be ideal to slowly recite the mantra by breaking it intoparts. For
example, / Articles
I would choose to break this (https://manblunder.com/article/articlehome)
as follows:- (https://www.youtube.com/user/manb
1. During Inhalation:- Recite mentally and very slowly "om śrīṁ hrīṁ klīṁ". (https://in.linkedin.com/in/manblunde
2. During breath retention in your lungs:- Recite mentally and again very slowly "glauṁ gaṁ gaṇapataye
varavarada". (https://plus.google.com/+Manblunde
3. During a very slow and controlled exhalation:- Recite mentally and slowly "sarvajanaṁ me".
4. During the last non-breathing stomach tucked in phase:- Recite mentally and slowly "vaśamānaya svāhā".
You could break the mantra in a different manner that may be easier for pronunciation. Ultimately, you may reach
a state where the mantra automatically gets forgotten and you could be in deep meditation.
Breaking the mantra and aligning with the breathing phases of the Yogic breathing technique, helps in a higher
level of concentration on the mantra itself. It is very hard for the mind to think of anything else, as you're
simultaneously watching your breathing phase as well as concentrating on the part of the mantra that you need
to recite during that phase!
The drawback of this type of recitation is the slow progress of the japa. But ultimately this may lead to a greater
spiritual progress, than a very quick recitation using a japa mala.

My gratitude for such explanations.
Before you read, I thought of myself to be cut as follows:

Inhale: Om Gam Shrim HRIM Klim Glaum
retention: Ganapataye Varavarada
Exhale: Sarvajanam vashamanaya me
Retention: Svaha
This approach was presented to me after myself gathered unto Ganesh ... and I just read your proposal.
Wonderful!

Dear Sir, Vanakkam!!! I am happy to see you through this blog, I use to refer your blog whenever I have
any clarification.. you are doing a wonderful service, I bow for this!!! I have a doubt, I do
mahaganapathi and bala japam, should I do anganiyasam, karaniyasam separately (twice - once for
Mahaganapathi and once for bala) everytime when doing japam? When we start mahaganapathi we do
thigbandham, usually when we complete we remove it, so should i perform Thigbandam for
mahaganapathi first and remove it and should I do another thigbandham for bala? Ayyan Please clarify
this!!!

The video does not provide a source for validation of the mantras. Some mantras are
specified in the Devi Rahasya, but the main mantra specified is different from what is
generally practiced. There are no specific utkīlana mantras specified in any authoritative
documents for this mantra. However, if one wishes to apply the rules specified in Devi
Rahasyam, the following can be done. For utkīlana, Add 1 (gam̐ ) bīja in the front and 1
(hrīm̐ ) bīja at the end of the main mantra. For sañjīvanaṃ - Add 2 (gam̐ ) bīja-s in front of
the mantra. For śāpavimocanaṃ, the following mantra applies - oṃ gam̐ gaṇeśāna
rudraśāpaṃ vimocaya svāhā. For sampuṭīkaraṇa, the following rule applies - Add 3
(hrīm̐ ) bīja-s in front of 'gaṇapataye' and 'om̐ gam̐ gam̐ gam̐ ' at the end of the mantra.

If you are reciting the mantra as a standalone japa, then please follow the full
procedures. If you are reciting this mantra as part of mahāṣoḍaśi mantra japa, then
reciting the mantra a few times after the main mantra japa, is permitted. Also, please
note that if this becomes ajapa due to mantra alignment with breath, then nothing is
required. In such a scenario, which usually happens after a long time, we can simply
stick to the mantra and recite at all times.

Sri Matre Namaha. Krishna Ji, I have done 3 mandalas of Ganapati Tarpana and 1 mandala of Homa
with 250 Swahas each day. I have few queries regarding Ganapati Mantra Japa. I do japa 2hrs a day
either in single sitting or 1hr per sitting. As of now I am doing Japa after Guru Dhyanam without Nyasa.
Queries are : 1) During japa I adjust my sitting position due to numbness in the legs or due to any other
body pains. 2) I do japa with open eyes or I do japa by standing if I feel sleepy. 3) My my mind keep
wandering through out Japa. Please advice if I need make corrections in procedure or to take any
special care. Sri Matre Namaha.

and ensuring that you switch to the left nostril or the dual nostril breathing during mantra

japa, to improve the quality and make it more effective. Please look up the breathing
articles on this website and elsewhere on the rationale and the utility for deploying the
same. If you are falling in deep sleep during mantra japa, let it happen, there is nothing
wrong. In fact a deep meditative state is highly desirable. Also, please lookup the various
mediation techniques specified in the Vijñāna Bhairava tantra and see if any one of them
can help you, in suppressing your mind during meditation and japa.

Hi sir. I have recently started doing meditation. I am currently practising for 15 minutes. I
feel so thirsty during these 15 minutes itself. How do I overcome this? Or is it natural? If
in future I prolong the meditation to 1 hour, will this thirst affect me? Thank you.

It is natural for this to occur. It is best to not do meditation immediately after a meal and
one should wait for at least an hour or so before proceeding. Over time, you will be able
to meditate for longer periods without the need for food or water.

Hi Krishna Ji, I need little more clarification regarding Japa. Does Japa needs to be done strictly in the

sitting posture and eyes closed. can I do japa while walking, travelling in the bus, during free time in
office, or during any other activity. Would it be considered towards actual Japa if do I so(while walking,
travelling, so on..) and can lead to progress in Sadhana.

Japa should be done with abject and intense concentration upon the deity and
immersing ourselves into the mantra. Deep contemplation is required to see any
meaningful results. While this is ideal, it is definitely not possible while we are walking,
travelling etc. For those who have aligned the mantra with the breath, this would happen
automatically in the mind without any conscious effort. In terms of maintaining count, I
would suggest using only the japa count that is done with full concentration upon the
deity. This is usually in a sitting or any relaxed posture. The purpose of the japa is to
please the deity and obtain the benefits and rise materially and spiritually and not just
completing a specified count. The latter by itself serves no purpose, if the former is not
realized. The deity is pleased when we follow all the procedures, seek proper guidance
from our guru and also put in the best possible effort that we can. Eventually with the
release of karmic effects, we may experience some benefits from our mantra japa.

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.

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.

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 

Hello, Is there any possible confict when I do this Sri Mahaganapati japa together with the Sri Kubera Mantra (35
Lettered)? I have being doing the Mahaganapati for my malefic ketu and enjoying great effects. However, a few
days when I add the Kubera Mantra for the same day with the Mahaganapai I usually felt irritated, short
tempered, and a little bit stress even thought I followed the nyasa closely. I have a big debt that weigh on me.
The kubera mantra seems to help but the side effects made me wonder if this is the right way to do. Please help.
Namaste.

(https://manblunder.com/articles/mantras)
on to the Kubera mantra. This will help remove the obstacles that prevent you from achieving
the desired results. All your debts can be waived by Śrī Mahāgaṇapati Himself. You can follow through
the japa with a daily tarpaṇa which is listed on this site and elsewhere. Make sure that you are repeating

in a moderate manner and in your mind only. Focus on the weapons and let these Astras do the

Hi sir, can the Mahaganapati moola mantra be one's lifelong mantra or one needs to move towards a shakti/devi
mantra eventually? Thank you.

It can be lifelong. No other mantra is necessary, unless you feel a strong inclination
towards other deity mantras.
