Hare Krishna,
I’m Arun Ajayakumar, and I wanted to share something personal. I have been experiencing Prayer OCD, which brings intrusive thoughts and anxiety during my spiritual practices. This has been particularly challenging for me, and I am seeking advice on how to manage these feelings while continuing my prayers.
I would be grateful for any guidance, support, or resources you could provide.

Ok mataji
Plus- I also wanted to do this pranam mantra before reading BG too, I normally only read the mantras given on the introduction page, but since Prabhupada pranam mantra is not given there I didn't knew about that, although I heard in lectures that it was spoken.
It is enough to do one for the Guru maharaj it covers all.
panchatattva and prabhupada are enough.
If you are willing to do.. it is good. You can add but the list will increase the time. can you spare so much time everyday.
because chanting 16 rounds takes 2 hours.
Hare Krishna mataji and prabhuji
I know this is not my question forum but I still want to ask one
I do panchatattva mantra in between the rounds, but today I got to know that I should do Prabhupada pranam too, but I when I searched for it I also found many other pranam mantra too, so I want to ask whether I should do only Prabhupada pranam or other too?
So you step wise guidance for -
a. take bath
b. lay the asana
c. sing maha sudharshana mahamantra to cleanse the air and mind, and space around you. - 1 time
d. Take Srila Prabhupada pranam mantra- 1 time
e. Take panchatattva mantra - 1 time
f. do damodara ashtakam
g. Mahamantra rounds.
But you must believe that all are present there watching you and guiding you
you must believe that Place is cleansed, You took Permission of Prabhupada and invokes blessings of Panchattva and then you started. You can be carefree.. if anything goes wrong also.. Lord Nitaai and Sudarshana are there to take care of it.
Even if you get bad thoughts continue and finish and become carefee.
Hare Krishna

YES Pls. add this also. @Arun ajaykumar
And should Prabhupada pranam also be done before chanting?
Good to know.
So, on the top of Jaganntha temple in Puri Dhaam you find Sudarshan Chakra.

you must pray to Sri Sudharshan Chakra the weapon of Lord before you start your daily prayer.
Sudharshan Chakra has the power to clear all the place and surrounding to you and your mind becomes clear of all negative thoughts... You must chant one time Sudarshan Mahamantra
and chant after this.
one time then start you chanting of
Sri Damodarashtakam and Mahamantra.
Make this your habit.
Believe in me. Sudharshana Chakra has the power to cleanse all negativity.

take the tune and sing like this. There is a little variation of the sloka here in this video. But this seems very nice tune. I really liked this one and think this is best version and tune. Easy to learn by hearing.
I asked Lord what should I must say to this person. I was thinking. I appeared to me that Lord Sri Krishna directed me to this.
I am not telling you because I do this .. but It is like sometimes I get this Idea impuleses to it seems like Lord wanted me to tell this.
But I am doubtful if you will do this?
So I wanted to confirm from you will do?
Will you believe in someone stranger online giving you the remedy and follow?
After Sudarshan Chakra mahamantra once the place and your surroundings all are cleansed... You must take the PANCHATATTVA MANTRA and offer mentally respects to all the names in the Panchatantra Mahamantra. They are going to guide you to make your mind steady.
And if at all you start feeling that you are lacking something you didn't do it properly..
Pancha- tattva mantra is going to help you. Nityaananda Prabhu is extremely merciful and if any mistakes in your chanting or intrusive thoughts coming in also.. NItyananda Prabhu will make corrections and then offer the sadhana done by you to Lord Sri Krishna. You can become carefree. As Sudharshana is another form of Sri Nityananda Prabhu.
Hare Krishna
