Guest guest Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Very recently I was initiated. And was given mantra for MahaaKaali. Is it OK to put picture of Kaali (where she is standing on the corpse of Shiv?) on the wall in front, while chanting the rounds of maala? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Forgive me for I am not a learned fellow , But if I may share ,since you are initiaited it would be good to refer to your master...... It would also be good to check with your initiator which form (picture) is aligned to the mantra used If the initiator have left the mortal coil, then brothers or sisters in that spritual tradition ( sampradaya) or family (kula) would be a good person to talk to first If all this is not available than please consider what I share with a pinch of salt and after consideration of other opinions at this forum Often Mahakali dhyana mantra shares her with 10 weapon or head (i.e.Khadgam cakre gadesu...)you could obtain various dhyana mantra from Tantra Sara but it could also be otherwise Most of Kali depiction in south ( Thillai Kali, Madurakali ,Vekkali etc) would not have Shiva under Her From west ,SmasanaKali , Raktakali and Dakshinakali depiction would usually have Siva at Her holy feet but at the same time Chamundeswari of Mysore again do not have such depiction............. Really sometimes picture do not neccesarily reflect the image for your practice as well for example Dakshina Kali dhyan mantra says she is sitting on Siva but the popular depiction she is standing on Shiva. So my two cents worth is to talk to your initiator ......................... Jai Maa!!! PURISANDEEP <purisandeep wrote: Very recently I was initiated. And was given mantra for MahaaKaali.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 U may put, no problem. But while U do japa eyes are normally kept close. In fact, U are supposed to get all instructions from Ur guru. A , "PURISANDEEP" <purisandeep wrote: > > Very recently I was initiated.

You said you got initiated and given mantra for Mahaakaali. Who initiate and give u the mantra? Your guru right? So should be right so, that you should go back to your guru and ask these questions? Didnt the guru gives u specific instruction as how to do the japa, when, how many times etc.. .even if the guru forgot you should go back and ask. Why are you asking a complete stranger? Sometimes my guru [i think] does that. Purposely omit the details to see weather im paying attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 Sounds logical, yet, maybe not so. When I was fourteen I met a wandering guru who gave me Dattatreya mantra. I never saw him again. Nor would I recognize him even now 27 years later. It may have been Guru Datta, but he was skinny and young. There's no way of knowing. - Vir Rawlley Mahaakaali. Who initiate and give u the mantra? Your guru right? So should be right so, that you should go back to your guru and ask these questions? Didnt the guru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
