Dear Bhagavath Bhaktas, I have a couple of queries out of sheer ignorance, viz:- 1) Is it good to ask for Mantropadesha/Deeksha from a Guru or is it good if the Guru himself shows Karuna & gives us deeksha without we even asking for it? 2) Is it right to get initiated into a mantra, when our mind is worried about some particular thing & is unwilling to relieve from the tension for sometime? Thanks
