Reaching the top or the process of taking that journey to reach top. I am being told many times : why are some people so stupid. When you can just take the helicopter and land on the top of the mountain instead of wasting their time trying to climb from the bottom.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Dear Nora I forgot your first name, please accept my apologies It might be a weakness of mine, I am very inquisitive in knowing what happens when a sadhaka approaches the door of liberation opened by the divine mother And can a sadhaka remain dual till the end if he is a sri vidya upasaka, since I want to enjoy being close to the divine mother rather than merging in her regards vikram NMadasamy <nmadasamy wrote: vikram vanam wrote: But however I am curious to know what the scriptures say about the benefits of chanting the panchadasi mantra Am i not correct if I want to see what would be the goal even before I have reached it.

How can you set the goal when you are the goal itself, for Devi is within you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Dear Vikram: You ask to know "about the benefits of chanting the panchadasi mantra" so that you can "see what would be the goal even before I have reached it." This despite the fact that your Guru has advised you to simply practice, and "see what happens when you start chanting." So -- to my understanding, you are looking for more concrete explanations than those with which your Guru has already provided you. And thus I must ask you (or rather, ask you to ask yourself): Do you not trust your Guru's guidance? Is it really necessary to invite strangers in an online forum to second-guess her or him? It does not seem to be a promising basis for a Guru-shishya relationship. In fact, your question raised in my mind the same issues raised at the outset by Nora. Are you really initiated? If so, in what parampara? Because, generally speaking, if a shishya belongs to a proper lineage then this question would never arise in the first place. Still, I see no harm in accepting your representation that yes, you're initiated, though the details remain obscure. And I can only tell you what I was taught by my own guru, that the Pancadasi is a hugely powerful mantra that brings the shishya exactly what the guru who gives it wants it to give her or him. It is a channel for infinite power, wealth, health, fame, enjoyment and grace – but its effects vary, depending on the individual using it. It delivers only and precisely what is needed in each individual case. Even in the Vedas, Panchadasi is given in coded form only; in fact, few people even realize it is there. In my own Guru's words, "It is usually not written down in the mantra form because it is supposed to be transmitted directly, orally, from Guru to shishya. And even if it is found is written in a book, it cannot be taken from there as it will not yield results. Like a woman of quality, She [Panchadasi] can be had only through proper marriage – meaning initiation from a Guru; and not just any Guru, but only one who has attained its fruits. It [the mantra] is an unthinkably rich asset and blessing; it is like an uncut jewel. The more you polish it, the more beautiful it becomes. The more you practice it the more you get out of it." And that, dear Vikram, is as specific as I'm going to get. The rest you will learn from your Guru, or you will not learn it at all. If you still hunger for additional commentary on this great mantra, I refer you to Shankaracharya's Soundaryalahari. I would further add that Nora has answered you well in your exchange earlier today. Perhaps you should go back and review what she has said. Sometimes when we insist upon being taught or given something too persistently and single-mindedly, we miss the subtle attempts of others to provide precisely what we seek, just in a form slightly different than we expected.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Dear Devi Bhakta Many thanks for letting me know the greatness of the mantra I had no thought of second guessing what my Guru said , I was more inquisitive About my Guru lineage, I guess you would know about my Guru already although I dont want to mention his name I have just started walking the path, i guess with some more patience I would myself get the answers to what I need to ask regards vikram Devi Bhakta <devi_bhakta wrote: Dear Vikram: You ask to know "about the benefits of chanting the panchadasi mantra" so that you can "see what would be the goal even before I have reached it."
