Question from Nanda:
Can you please tell us something about the Upasamhara Mudra. It looks
like a mudra of blessing, and also like a mudra which says "I
surrender". Thank you for your time.

Swamiji's response:
It actually means a combination of both, plus one added ingredient.
Samhara here is used is the sense of unite in oneness, and upa means
near. We are calling the deities to assemble and unite near me in
oneness.

Please How is this done?

Also when chanting Om NaMaSiVaYa is there an optimum Mudra?

Thank you very much for your help and advice.
