What I know is we should start by Srila Prabhupad pranam mantra. Then Panch Tattva Mahamantra
Then we should do 16 rounds of Hare Krishna Mahamantra. Would you please tell me how to end it ?
Any prayer at the end ?

At the risk of the Truth being offensive I would like simply to shear my morning meditations upon the position o the Head Gods this morning.
Poetically, it could be said, that Nothing compares to (KC) and everything else compares to Nothing.?
"The Catcher in the Rye" tells a story about a savior who is dedicated to saving souls before they have gone off of
"(The deep end)" But in reality Krishna is the only real "catcher in The Rye" because He provides an escape from the edge of oblivion i.e. contamination (physically) and Obliviousness intellectually, by properly engaging our complete being and faculties (at once) in karmic ally educating and other productive ways.
Indeed- Krishna is "The only Full Time God" /The full-time-Catcher in the Rye. we call, He comes, not it the dyer end of our rope or at the end of Life but as soon as we call Hen His arrangements begin being put into place so that we can be delivered from any of life's dangers.
Yes indeed there is a Huge" difference between being comparable to nothingness and Nothing being comparable to you? A great difference in deeds.
Hare krsna,
I usually start with the below mantras:
Sri Guru Pranama
om ajnana-timirandhasya jnananjana-salakaya
cakshur unmilitam yena tasmai sri-gurave namah
Sri Rupa Pranama
sri-caitanya-mano-’bhishtam sthapitam yena bhu-tale
svayam rupah kada mahyam dadati sva-padantikam
Mangalacarana
vande ‘ham sri-guroh sri-yuta-pada-kamalam sri-gurun vaishnavams ca
sri-rupam sagrajatam saha-gana-raghunathanvitam tam sa jivam
sadvaitam savadhutam parijana-sahitam krishna-caitanya-devam
sri-radha-krishna-padan saha-gana-lalita- sri-visakhanvitams ca
Srila Prabhupada Pranati
nama om vishnu-padaya krishna-preshthaya bhu-tale
srimate bhaktivedanta-svamin iti namine
namas te sarasvate deve gaura-vani-pracarine
nirvisesha-sunyavadi-pascatya-desa-tarine
Sri Vaishnava Pranama
vancha-kalpatarubhyas ca kripa-sindhubhya eva ca
patitanam pavanebhyo vaishnavebhyo namo namah
Sri Gauranga Pranama
namo maha-vadanyaya krishna-prema-pradaya te
krishnaya krishna-caitanya-namne gaura-tvishe namah
Sri Krishna Pranama
he krishna karuna-sindho dina-bandho jagat-pate
gopesa gopika-kanta radha-kanta namo ’stu te
Sri Radha Pranama
tapta-kancana-gaurangi radhe vrindavanesvari
vrishabhanu-sute devi pranamami hari-priye
Panca-tattva Maha-mantra
(jaya) sri-krishna-caitanya prabhu nityananda
sri-advaita gadadhara srivasadi-gaura-bhakta-vrinda
Then I start the maha mantra. I recite Panca-tattva maha-mantra before starting the next round.
After the rounds, I just say "Sarvam Krsnarpanam astu".
All glories to Srila Prabhupad!!
Hare krsna
Hare Krsna Prabhuji,
PAMHO.
The purpose of chanting the guru mantra and SP mantra, then pancha tattva mantra before starting to chant is to get the mercy of these personalities so that our chanting happens properly. The purpose of chanting is to purify the heart and to take the mind towards Krsna.
There are no set rules on how to end chanting - people normally chant the pancha tattva mantra at the end of the round 16 also and then maybe 2-3 times maha mantra more, depends on time, place, circumstance.
The idea is that by chanting these 2 hours, one is completely absorbed in Krsna the balance 22 hours. That is the goal. So if chanting any mantra at the end helps you, pls do so.
Prayer at the end could be - thank you God for allowing me to take Your name today. Pls allow me to remember You and take Your name tomorrow also. Or it could be any other personalised message, whatever.
There is nothing prescribed.
Haribol,
Your servant,
Radha Rasamayi DD
