On page 106 of book “Healing Mantras” by “Thomas Ashley Farrand”, it is mentioned “For general purposes, Swaha is used as a Mantra ending if you are twenty-nine years of age or older” As an example it says, before 29 years of age you should chant “Om Sri Shanaishwaraya Namaha” And after 29 years of age one should chant “Om Sri Shanaishwaraya Swaha” I am not sure whether it is relevant only to the above mantra or to all the mantras. I want to chant these two mantras “Om Gum Ganapatayei Namaha” And “Om Shrim Shriyei Namaha” Should I chant these two mantras as it is or should I end them with Swaha. I am 29 years and 4 months old.

any one please

I have been chanting one mantra from "Sri Durga Saptashati" for quite some time. The mantra as mention in "Sri Durga Saptashati" is "Patnim Manoramam Dehi Manovritanusarineem, Tareneem Durgasamsar Sagarasye Kulodbhavam" but in some of the sites "Om" is prefixed to the mantra "Om Patnim Manoramam Dehi Manovritanusarineem, Tareneem Durgasamsar Sagarasye Kulodbhavam" Has "Om" been added because this mantra is being practiced independently (and not with the complete Sri Durga Saptashati text)? Is it necessary to add Om as a prefix? Had I been practicing it incorrectly? Please guide me on this.

Any one else please?

Any more comments please?

Thanks a lot for your comments. I really appreciate the information that you provided. I think your calculation of when I was born was based on my mentioning that I'll be 30 soon. To be precise, I'll be 30 on 16th Aug, 2009. Does that change the deuta in which I was born?

I have been chanting this Mantra for 2 years now Patnim Manoramam Dehi Manovritanusarineem, Tareneem Durgasamsar Sagarasye Kulodbhavam. I chant it (loudly) 108 times every morning. Then I chant it during the day whenever I get time, either silently or in soft tone and also 5-10 min before sleeping. I have been strictly following this routine for almost 2 years. Someone suggested me to chant these 2 mantras also everyday (for Shukra and Shani) as they said there are some problems in planetry positions Om pra pri prau sah shanye namah Om dra dri drau sah shukrai namah I am also wearing a 10 mukhi rudraksh which was sugessted for removing obstacles. I wear it every morning after bath and before chanting mantras. I am now almost 30 years old (male) and started to feel depressed due to delay in marriage. Am I doing something incorrectly in my daily routine which I should correct. Is it even correct to chant mantras to gain specific objective? Every time I show my horoscope I am told that I'll be married in next 3-4 months but nothing materializes. This has been happening for 3 years now. Everytime things break down when it looks like they will work out. Till now I have been able to convince myself that it must be for my good, but now I have started to get tensed and depressed. Please guide me what should I do. I also came across these two mantras. Would it be right to chant them Narayani Patim Dehi Shreem Kleem Parameshwari Om Shrim Shriyei Namaha Please guide me. Thank You.
