Matre Namaha,
Can we split the 5 sacred practices over different days and do them in sequence.

Is there an instructional video for dynamic kundalini meditation? I tried the practice but I was very gentle in my physical movements and it was very aesthetic for me but by reading the manual I thought it was supposed to be very tense and little intense.
How do we practice the Saraswati mantra and the alphabet mantra? Do we have to chant it daily for 40 days?
- Edited
There's no requirement for it to be chanted for 40 days. However, we do encourage beginners to chant Her mantras (vedic and the alphabet) since She's the Goddess of Learning and Her blessing would be a great help for a person who undertakes these courses.
Furthermore, chanting the alphabet will also help one down the line when one comes to the practice of ṣaṭcakra japa.
Unfortunately at this time there's no instructional video.
The goal of this dynamic meditation is to follow the rhythm of your body and do it at your own pace while being guided by the music and the mantra. It's pure improvisation.
In order to get the best benefit each practice has to be performed for 40 days straight without gaps. Guruji mentioned that one can split the daily practice into two parts – morning and evening as one wishes.
For instance:
- Morning: Prāṇa Pratiṣṭha and Virajā Homa
- Evening: Kuṇḍalini Meditation and Yoga Nidra. Guruji mentioned that these two are best done together in sequence.
- Drawing of Śrī Cakra can be done at any time.
If following all 5 practices on a daily basis is too much for a person, the practices can be split up. For instance:
- First 40 Days: Prāṇa Pratiṣṭha and Virajā Homa
- Next 40 Days: Kuṇḍalini Meditation and Yoga Nidra
- Next 40 Days: Śrī Cakra drawing
In time for the people who have completed Starter Regime and Sacred Vāk prerequisites and want to continue on to take the Śrī Vidyā Beginner's Course there will be a process which will include assessment questions which will guide them along with regards to enrollment.

Sri Gurubhyo namah,
In Saraswati mantra, can use alphabet ( mulakahar) as a samputita?
Please give me guidance.

Yes it can - it's called ṣaṭcakra japa. Please see the below post for more information.
Namaste, With regards to the mantra for the Prāṇa Pratiṣṭha Practice, do we follow Guruji's style of chanting or can we use our own instinctive svara-s, our own rhythm/melody? Thank you. 🙏

Sri Matre Namah,
does 40 days cycle should be without break? What if we miss 1 or 2 days in between due to work. Do we have to start all over again?
Please advise,
kind Regards, Harsh
Śrī Matre Namaḥ!
It’s OK to miss a day or two in case of emergencies, sickness, travel etc. During that time you can also do practices internally by visualizing all the actions. It’s important to stress however that, this should not become a norm.
Namaste, i want to chanting matra with action.please anyone can share me action 🙏
Sree matre namaha
Your question is not clear. Which mantra are you referring to? All instructions are given in detail in the pdf - reading through carefully should help you.
Namaste. how can i get Guru Mantra?
No mudras have been prescribed for the starter regime. While chanting the prana pratishtha mantra, place your hand on your heart. This a an introductory self learnt course with the purpose of giving the practitioner an initial taste of experience. Such experiences will form the bedrock for firm belief to be established, and those interested in delving further into the rituals and practices of Srividya are then invited to join the beginners online course.
Guru mantra is given in the beginner's course, along with other mantras relevant for the course. It may be received in person at Devipuram, but at the sole discretion of Guru Amma.
Namaste,
I am spending two weeks at a location that has only wifi and 4G at communal places but the meditation soundtracks on SoundCloud are only accessible online. It is my 31st day of practice (I have not missed a day) and really want to keep going. Is there any way to access the meditation tracks for the Viraja Homa, Kundalini Meditation, and Yoga Nidra Meditation offline? (Through the Goddess' grace, I was able to memorize the Prāṇa Pratiṣṭha. Your assistance and response are greatly appreciated at your earliest convenience. Thank you very much!
Sincerely,
Nora
