[sometimes if i here some shloka/song of Her... few words/sentenses kind of stay in my mind for some hours/days. i tend to recite/think about them silently wherever i go, even if iam in a toilet and i suddenly stop because it scares me. scares me because, i dont know whether it is good to take Her name in all places.] 3) do i have to recite mantras/shlokas/sahasranamas in a particular way? what happens if i do mistakes? 4) i was going through some of the messages here and somebody mentioned about 'guru initiating students'. do i have to be initiated by a guru before learning anything or recite mantras/shlokas? 5) i want to learn about bija mantras. where can learn about them and how to say them etc. if somebody can briefly explain about why the bija mantras are created and who made them it will be really great. 6) what do i have to imagine in my mind when i recite Her name? i read about chakras, kundalini etc., and i'm totally confused. first of all, do i have to imagine something at all ot just blank and nothing else. 7) where can i find "kAli" sahasranama, mantras, shlokas etc. everything related to 'kAli' amma. 8) how can i concentrate on the mother? i don't want to remember anything when i want to be with her? why do other things come into my mind whenever i want to do it? 9) many people say that, we have to follow a very strict diet, no non-vegetarian, no alcohol/nicotine etc. only then u can recite shlokas etc. how true is it? can i just be myself and still try to concentrate on the mother? please help me find out some answers. sincerely santosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Hi Santosh! If you want to learn more about chakras, try to learn pranic healing. In the 'Google' search check for AndraPradesg pranic healing foundation. In my opinion, Pranic healing is a must for all Sadhaka. Just give a try in knowing what Pranic healing is. Very soon you will be amazed by the significance of it. Regds, Boobalan --- sankara menon <kochu1tz wrote: Dear Santhosh: You are in Hyderabad. That means nearer to anakapalle than many of us.
