Guest guest Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 > What is diskha?

There are a couple of points here, mantropadesham is given to the shishya only when The guru is convinced that the shishya is "worthy" of the mantra For example when a repected individual asked the seer of Kanchi for initiation into SriVidya, he was politely refused He said that every action is a form of SriVidya, there are some mantras(I believe that He was refering to the panchadashakshari)which are also a form of worship but that is not required now. > You also say that "most mantras of mother kali dont > work to their full potential." I have a counter question what is the potential of a mantra? does it mean the fullfillment of the phalasthuthi? > Isn't a teacher disappointed if his student doesn't > guru will never do your work for you or merely give > you the answers. Unless a student asks a Guru will not tell. Question and answer, respectful debate are all forms of learning regards Vishy Finance - Get real-time stock quotes http://finance.

What the seer of Kanchi said sounds like a great lesson and an inititiation in itself! Again, I reiterate that sometimes an "initiation" does not always have to be in the strict form that is "expected." And now, Sri Vishwanthan, you have initiated us all into this great knowledge from Kanchi! > I have a counter question what is the potential of a > mantra? does it mean the fullfillment of the > phalasthuthi? I suppose Sri Kalika Putra was referring to the phalashruti when he wrote that "most mantras of kali don't work to their full potential." Personally, I believe the phalashruti is only there to goad the sadhak into more earnest practice; if there is no reward, why should would we do it? Surely it is entirely possible to acheive the fruits mentioned in the phalashruti, but I think the point is for our desires for power to fall away. In the course of repeating a mantra so many hundreds of thousands or millions of times, the consciousness of the aspirant (hopefully) becomes so refined that the desire for the siddhis falls away. By the time he achieves the siddhis, he no longer desires them anymore, and this is the requirement for achieving powers -- as long as you desire them, you'll never have them, but when you don't desire them, you'll have more power than you've ever imagined! Perhaps this is why those with siddhis almost never use them. > Unless a student asks a Guru will not tell. Question > and answer, respectful debate are all forms of > learning Certainly, but I was speaking of certain questions that the answer can never be gotten from an outside teacher such as, "Who am I?" Some answers are only meaningful when learned through experience. Finance - Get real-time stock quotes http://finance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 The mantras and tantra of mother kali is one of the hardest, the fruits are never ending, whatever you desire you will get, wether it be enlightenment or become like the Lord Maha vishnu as the maha nirvana tantra states one will get this attainment and much more.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2002 Report Share Posted September 4, 2002 Diksha is the awakening of the metaphysical self via the use of the mantra and attainment of the realisation of the mantra, i.e keelkam, bija and shakti understanding these fundamental features of the mantra and realising them allows the diksha. This topic is open to multiple interpretations I am just outlining one of them.
