Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 Sri Rama Jayam Namaskarams to all. I have been following the ongoing discussion regarding the Gayatri mantram. I read a mail by one of the members of the group that SriVidya Upasakas can say any mantram, be it Bala, Mruthyunjaya, and others. I have a doubt here. Does initiation into SriVidya Upasana require initiation into Gayatri mantram also? I am asking this because I've read that initiation into any mantram without being initiated into the Gayathri will not be of any value. If this is the case, then there are several women Sri Upasakis and also several upasakas that are not Brahmanas. Will they have been initiated into the Gayathri before getting the Sri upasana or won't they be? Is there any exemption for the women or the others to directly get the Sri Upasana without the Gayathri initiation? I request the knowledgeable people of this group to enlighten me regarding this.
