options. All you have to remember is that at any time, all the five colours must be done. For instance, if you are going to do the sadhana by meditating on the mantra of Namothunam 30 times, then you must divide it by 5 colours. This means that you must do 6 Namothunam on each card, thus adding up to a total of 30 for 5 cards. You are not advised to do one or two colours in the
morning and the remaining in the evening. You can complete the entire sadhana of one day in as many sittings as you prefer. Just ensure that in any one sitting, your time is divided equally between all the five colours.
Continuity in Meditation
The question can arise that if a woman wants to begin this sadhana in the middle of her pregnancy, is it advisable? For some reason, if she has not done this sadhana from the time of conception, can she start doing it later on? To this question, the reply is: Yes, she can. Ideally, the best results can be gained by doing the sadhana from the beginning. However, one cannot discount the power of this sadhana whenever one starts doing it. It is like the old adage which says that whenever you awaken, you will find your dawn. So also whenever, you do this sadhana, you will find positive results. All it needs is

purity of thought and intention.
It is difficult to determine the extent to which one can gain success in this sadhana. This is not a scientific experiment where the ingredients or elements can be quantified and measured. There are many facets and variables that give rise to success of this sadhana- devotion, trust, aura of the seeker, the authenticity of the process and capacity to absorb divine grace. It is possible that what takes one person two days to achieve may take another two months. Hence one needs to proceed on this path with devotion and faith.
The one important thing is that every step is essential in this sadhana. For instance, if the welcome of the first moment is lost, it can't be gained later. So also if the sadhana of the first month is lost, it will affect the results. The physical, mental and emotional development of the child which can happen at a certain stage can't be gained later. So one will gain depending on where one starts from. Just make sure that you keep the continuity."
