Guest guest Posted June 19, 2001 Report Share Posted June 19, 2001 Dear Bhagavathas, Please accept my Pranams. It is really nice to get highly informative mails from all bhagavathas. But one thing lies as the thorn in the flesh. Please do not write any Mantras in words. According to the High command it is highly illegal. If a mantra has to be refered, it has to be done w.r.t its name. eg Gayatri or Thiru Ashtaaksharam or Pranavam like that. Mantra means "secret". Mantraopadeshams are done with high secrecy. Many of us know how Brahmopadesham in Upanayanam is done. Sri Swami Desikan in the work Srimat Rayasya Traya SAram, in GuruparamparAsAram refers that a bhagavatA should advertise the traits of his AcArya. Failing to do so will cause reduction of the "Ayul" (i.e) life span and "Sampat" or well being. Sri Swami also refers that it should be the opposite in case of mantra. (i.e) Mantras should be kept secret at any cost. Mantra upadeshams should be got from revered Acarya/Bhagavathas. Only our Acarya is entitled to give upadesham of Sri AshtAkshra Mantra after SamAshrayanam. So please refrain in writing out the Mantras. Adiyen, Parthasarathy.
