As regards chanting of Mantras around 18,108, 1008 times etc, it is generally said that
the sound of mantra is to uplift the believer towards the higher self i.e. to attain the goals
from the ordinary level to the higher levels of consciousness. However, it is very important
to have full and complete faith in the mantras we chant. It should be chanted within our mouth
and not loudly. I have taken recently Shiva Diksha Upadesam through Sri Adishankaracharya
Sharada Lakshmi Narasimha Peetam Sree Math Hariharapura, Karnataka. His Holiness
gave Upadesam to around 40 people; I was one among them. I chant regularly everyday
without fail "Om Namasivaya" after following the procedures strictly as taught by the Mutt.
