Dear sri Narayanan,

The ashtAkshara mantra is to be got from one's AchAryA only.
It is not good to write it in its full form. One who has undergone 
panchasamskArA under the feet of one's AchAryA knows how to do the 
japA. So, it is better not to discuss this.

[ I agree wholeheartedly that mantra should only be received
  from one's Acharya. However, many are often unsure of the
  mechanics of the japa itself (how and when, etc.) and it is 
  very valuable to have others to discuss it with. So please 
  feel free to discuss these aspects of the japa.
