Explanation of Metre of Mantra, Kar Nyasa, Anga Nyasa??

[Guest guest]

Respected Gurubhais,

 

Jai Gurudev!

 

Can one of you please tell me what exactly you mean by the " metre " of a mantra?

And how is its knowledge useful for japa of that mantra?

 

Secondly, can someone please explain " how " exactly one should do Kar Nyasa and

Anga Nyasa? Do we need to use special mudras while doing these? Do we need to

" physically " touch the body parts or just " mentally " picture the same?

 

If you can be kind enough to explain some of the not-so-commonly known body

parts such as " tuft " , " crown " etc, it would be really very helpful...

 

Any additional information on the general preliminary procedures before

commencing on a particular sadhana is also very welcome.

 

Awaiting your enlightening answers.

 

Warm Regards,

Buddha
