Guest guest Posted May 11, 2002 Report Share Posted May 11, 2002 Dear members, I like Kaushik's answer- esp where it says that The Mother Herself will guide one to the Guru. My humble opinion is that, if the LS is recited with Love and Devotion, then The Mother Herself will guide the devotee to whatever he/she needs- if the devotee needs a Guru , he will get a Guru, if the devotee needs help with the pronunciation , he will meet some one who will help him. The Mother is Avyaja Karuna Moorthy.- UNCONDITIONAL mercy- if there is devotion is the devotee's heart who does the LS, then the Mercy of the Mother will guide him. My own Guru (Ammachi) stresses the fact that above all things, Mother is the repository of Infinite Love and Patience. She says that the Divine Mother looks only into the heart of the bhakta and blesses accordingly. Therefore Ammachi advocates LS chanting to almost everyone. BUT as Ravi says, it is safest to follow one's Guru's words. AND in case a person does not have a Guru- why not address Ambaal Herself thus- 'O MOther, You are my everything . You are my GUru, and God and Self. I am repeating these names out of Love for You . I am repeating these names in order to gain Pure LOve for You. Please guide me. Mother , Whom else can I turn to? O MOther - i want to come closer to You. If you feel that my chanting these names are wrong , please correct me. If you feel that I need a Guru to initiate me, please guide to one who will teach me about You'...
