Answer

During Maskhaman / Masakshaman, the main vidhi is shuddh bhav, niyam, forgiveness, and daily dharmik sadhana. There is no single fixed universal vidhi for every tradition, so it is best to follow your guru, sangh, or local tradition.

Explanation

Commonly, the practice includes:

• Sankalp before starting the tapa
• Navkar Mantra recitation daily
• Kshama yachna with humility
• Pratikraman or at least introspection and repentance
• Samayik, svadhyay, chaityavandan, or other dharmik kriya as per your tradition
• Maintaining mind, speech, and body purity

For Khamasna, there is no fixed number prescribed for all people. Usually:

• One does khamasna before beginning the tapa
• One does kshama yachna regularly during the month
• One does khamasna again after completion

Some people do it daily, some do it before and after pratikraman, and some do it according to their tradition. So the exact count is not fixed universally.

Mantra

The main mantra to recite is:

Navkar Mantra

You may also recite:

• Ichchhami khamasamano during forgiveness and repentance practice
• Logassa if it is part of your daily vidhi
• Any stavan or stotra accepted in your tradition

Simple Daily Vidhi During Maskhaman

A common simple routine is:

The real strength of this tapa comes from bhav, not just from external discipline.
