Guest guest Posted May 13, 2003 Report Share Posted May 13, 2003 Thank you Nitish, and Nora, for the helpful comments. With reference to the apparent disturbance caused in other sadhakas' state of mind whenever outsiders enquire about mantras: it reflects their keenness to keep the mantra tradition safe from the experimental hands of the uninitiated. I think this attitude is admirable, and should be maintained for the more specialized sakti mantras. However I have personal knowledge of a few cases where the lack of "proper" initiation nevertheless produced results. An aunt of mine was in monetary distress two years ago and started doing a Lakshmi mantra devoutly. Exactly on the 40th day of her sadhana a miraculous event happened, and her troubles were solved. (No, she did not win the lottery). Even I was astounded by this miracle. Proof perhaps that sometimes *sincere devotion* supercedes the lack of initation. After all God did say that he dwells within the hearts of every creature (of all races) and is the silent witness of their every deed. Someday I might as well start a simple English bija-mantra like "Joy Joy Love Joy Luck Luck Want Luck Now" and who knows it may just work very well too, with God's grace.
