I am new to this forum. Great to find highly enlightening information about karanyasa. I have been advised to do this karanyasa but with a difference. I have been adivsed to simply breath in when placing thumb in the bottom of each finger and breath out when moving the thumb to reach the top of finger. I have not been advised of this mantra which you have mentioned.
Is this method correct? other than this mantra, i am doing other things as you said.
Kindly advise me about the significance of this karanyasa and how it helps?
I will be grateful if Lathaji can find time to reply to my query.
