Shriimaan muralaji,

 

First of all, the word "shadakshari" itself is confusing.

W.r.t the context you have qouted, I think, you meant "shatha-

akshari", the 100 lettered form of the Gaayathri maha manthra.

 

1. No one should attempt to practice any manthra (and its

vidhana) without being initiated by a Guru who belongs to that

particular sampradaaya. Here, sampradaaya doesn't mean "customs";

rather, it means "lineage". Violating this rule will destroy the

individual. Sadly, I am witness to a few such incidents.

 

2. There may be millions of forms of the same manthra with

different manthras as suffix and prefixes. A devout sadhak, should

never bother about them at all. Running behind different manthras

and

books will make the aspirant a lunatic. Please recall what the Lord

Mahadev Shiva Himself has told in the end, after creating all

Tantras: "... saptha koti mahaa manthraaNaam chittha BhramaNa

kaarakah...".

 

3. Nithya karma anushtaana should be only according to the

sampradaaya dictated by the Shrngeri Shaaradaa piita in the southern

part of Bhaaratha. Other regions of the country should follow their

respective piita's dictates. The form of karma anushtaana as has

been

quoted from Shrii Shrii Devi Bhagavatham is entirely different. It

should be embraced by the sadhak only when he is specially

initiated/instructed into that. Adopting any manthra vidhana

directly

from books is certainly not good. Please note that such type of

karma

anushtana requires the sadhak to devout his whole life entirely to

it. It doen't go well with the present day life-style.

 

4. ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS: MANTRAS ARE NOT TAKEN; THEY ARE GIVEN.

 

5. Before getting iniated into any manthra diksha, it is always

good to do a purascharana of 10 lakh gayathri. An individual

aspiring

to elevate himself to higher realms of spirituality through the

medium of mantra vidya should first surrender to Mother Gaayathri.

She only can lead us to a sadguru. When we acquire the "yogyatha",

all manthras, gurus and siddhas come to us automatically. This is

the

reason why only the Gaayathri maha manthra is taught during

the "upanayana" ceremony.

 

6. Turiiya paada of Gaayathri should not be chanted by

householders. It is only for the sanyasins. However, it is also

given

to some advanced sadhaks of Shriividya.

 

7. The "poorna gaayathri" and "sanjiivini vidya" (as has been

quoted), requires that the sadhak has successfully completed atleat

one full purascharana (24 lakhs) of the Gayathri (rules apply).

 

8. The sadhaka of such maha manthras should lead a highly austere

life and strictly adhere to the customs prescribed by our

scriptures.

Trying out such great vidyas out of curiousity or for show-off will

destroy him.

 

9. Practising any manthra without initiation (upadesham) from an

able guru is like piercing one's own eyes with a needle of gold.

 

One may feel at the outset, that I am trying to discourage the

aspirants of manthra vidya. But in reality I am only trying to put

forth some of the hard to digest truths about manthras. Often,

people

in their enthusiasm to learn manthras, conviniently overlook these

facts and later repent a lot. My only advise to all is to remain

humble and patient and pray to the Veda Maatha Gaayathri to kindly

lead us.

I am a Shiva-Buddhist guru. Anyone who has faith in Bhagavan Buddha, including Hindus, can use the dharanis that exist in the Mahayana Sutras. Concerning the Buddhist mantras, no one should consider using them if they do not go to Buddha Dharma Sangha for refuge, and even then the mantras will be of little use unless a mantra has been received from a guru with an explanation of its inner meaning.
