Before commencing advanced sadhanas, one has to be regular and consistent in spiritual practices. One should have a good knowledge of the meaning and significance of mantras, correct pronunciation, and understanding the power and transformative potential of sound vibrations. Understand the gods or goddesses you are interested in through their stories and what they represent e.g. deity's qualities, symbolism, and their relationship with the practitioner so that a strong bond can be built up.
At this stage, one should be well aware of the mantra compatibility. If you can perform the sadhana for 30 days or more and can easily sit like a rock for 45 minutes then you can increase the time for 40 days to some years and for one hour or more long sadhana per day.
You can do sadhanas with the mantras which have two or more seed syllables.
Surya Tantra Sadhana with mantra ‘Om Hrim Ghrini Surya Aaditya Shrim’ for Lord Surya in Amaravati.
Navarna Sadhana with mantra ‘Om aim hrim klim chamundayai vichche’ for Ma Durga in Kadamba Forest.
Ma Siddhalakshmi Tantra Sadhana with mantra ‘Om Shrim Hrim Klim Shrim Siddhalakshmyai Namah’ for Ma Laxmi in Golden Palace.
Dwadashakshari Tantric Sadhana with mantra ‘Om hasphrem khphrem hasaum haskhphrem hasaum hanumate namah’ for Lord Hanuman in Kishkindha.
Dwadashakshari Mantra Sadhana with mantra ‘Om ham hanumate rudratmakaye hum phat’ for Lord Hanuman at Kishkindha.
While doing these sadhanas dietary restrictions are almost compulsory. Take light food, eat fruits, vegetables, curd and milk which are easily digestible in less quantity. Whatever you eat, eat it slowly while chewing it very well with total mindfulness. Increase the time gap between the two meals so that the stomach is empty while doing the sadhana. In ‘Kundalini : An Untold Story’ Om Swamiji has mentioned, 'In any case, avoid spicy, oily and deep-fried foods. Being a vegetarian will greatly help your cause because vegetarian food infuses you with sattvic energy.'

Jai Sri Hari! After reading this enlightening article, I felt inspired to deepen my spiritual practices. "In any case, avoid spicy, oily, and deep-fried foods. Being a vegetarian will greatly help your cause because vegetarian food infuses you with sattvic energy" (Om Swamiji); especially this quote. I will embrace regularity, understand the power of mantras, and build a strong bond with the deities to embark on this transformative journey. Thank you again.
