Sometimes randomly in middle of the day, in metro, in work , I chant just hare ram hare krishna , some time it's om naham bhagwatey vasudevay, some times is om namah shiva, sometimes it's listening to some hymn , sometimes it's mix , is it okay ? Should I stick to one? Is it necessary to do only one ? Quora says you'll have to write om namah shivay with rakta chandan and touch it to shivling and bring it back to your house and keep it with you. You can look it up. Does panchakshari ( Namah Shivaya) mantra require initiation to chant? Some say yes and others say no. Some say it’s Vedic so we can’t chant without diksha while others say it’s also a puranic mantra so it doesn’t require, it’s a little confusing so any help clarifying would be great! There is nothing more to it than that. You are not "Unholy" in your period, nothing ever is. Listening to Hanuman chalisa is not necessarily a spiritual practice and even if it was as long as you can maintain your concentration you can do it. No problem. Om namah shivay !
