Greetings and blessings to you.
A "chalya" means doing something for 40 days. I think that if you are doing one thing for 40 days, you can start another one for 40 days. You will need to keep track of when you started so you will not get confused as to the completion date for eash respective 40 day meditation(or what ever you are doing).

A sutak is a pure action or discipline. I suppose that you can do this pure thing, like, doing your "bani's" in Amrit vela for 40 days.

The question is not clear to me. However many 40 day meditations or pure actions that you chooose to do, you must complete them in the 40 day period. So, you would not begin one again until you have completed it.

God bless you, SKKK
