Lift your right hand up towards your nose with Chin Mudra. 4. Exhale completely first and then use your right thumb to close your right nostril. 5. Inhale through your left nostril and then close the left nostril with your fingers. 6. Open the right nostril and exhale through this side. 7. Inhale through the right nostril and then close this nostril. 8. Open the left nostril and exhale through the left side. 9. This is one cycle. Continue for up to 5 minutes or more.

Am seeking for three answers, the questions are- 1. Am not a dikshita, so may I japa or chant the mantra of my beloved Gods/Goddesses without the enlightenment of Guru? 2. Do I have to take a bath and wear a clean cloth and sit in holy place while chanting every time? I want to know the eating,sitting and clothing norms while chanting, as there are so many people giving me different advice on the purity and cleanliness while chanting. Also can anyone chant sitting on the bed?? 3. How to find my Ishta Devta and that also without Guru? And can I jaap multiple Gods and Goddesses?? 🙏😇🙏😇🙏

[@HinduMonk]

1. If you can get initiation from a Guru/Spiritual institution, then it is well and good. Else, treat God as your Guru and start doing Japa. 2. Physical and mental purity is obviously prerequisite. Try your best to maintain the same. 3. Ishta Devata is the one who is most beloved to you. Stick to only one name/mantra of your Ishta and do not switch at any time. Ofcourse, you can do kirtan, bhajan etc of all Gods and Goddesses but for Japa, stick to only one. Hope this is useful.

Please help me with my question. Is it compulsory to do japa of specific numbers like 5, 7, 11 or 21 or 108 ?? Problem arises that my focus shifted on counting the numbers instead of that mantra. For example i prefer 21 times Gayatri mantra japa. But it always happens that either my focus diverts from mantra to the counting or counting of that mantra to chanting. Either way i lose the rhythm. I have tried beads too, which helped but not 100% as i always forget to change beads or shift fingers to next one.
