Guest guest Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 Dear All, I have read all the mails of sri.sankara menon, sri.Ravi and sri.vaidhyanathan. After that i have a general doubt...please advice me. Brahmins have a ceremony called 'upanayanam'. After that date, male members have to wear 'poonul' and everyday they have to perform sandhya vandanam thrice in a day. The gayatri mantra is part of the sandhya vandanam and minimum of 108 gayathri has to be recited.. The gayatri mantra upadesam is given by pandit. My doubts are... 01. can this be taken as guru upadesam....? 02..when one is initiated to gayatri as provided in the vedas, is it not sufficient..to be considered as guru or deity's upadesh or blessings for all other upasanas? 03.why do we need special guru's initiation... 04.is it not correct that one will be automatically drawn to a path if one has faith and belief..(unshakeable devotion)...like the great abirami bhattar, raghavendra..kavi kalidas,etc.,. please educate me... pranam sriganesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
