Guest guest Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 QUESTION: 1.Kindly enlighten me of the ashtakshari mantra and the way how it has to be chanted. Since I did not know the value when samasrenam was done some 30years back as a ritual soon after the marriage. with pranam to the lotus feet of swami lakshmi ANSWER: Jai Srimannarayana Lakshmiji! If initiation is taken then after chanting the Guru Parampara, ashta:kshari manthra may be chanted. There is no swara or specific way to chant it. Chant it in a normal way, not too fast nor too slow. If possible try to recollect the meaning of the manthram. That given a lot of benifit than just repeating like a parrot. You can just start it after taking Sri: pa:da thi:rtham. QUESTION: what as a lady should I chant everday as a practice? ANSWER: TO CHANT AND DO PU:JA, THERE WAS NO DISCRIMINATION, WHETHER THEY ARE LADIES OR GENTS ETC., ALL ARE EQUAL BEFORE GOD. AFTER CHANTING THE MANTHRA GIVEN TO YOU AS INITIATION, BY YOUR GURU, YOU CAN CHANT ASHTA SLO:KI, 8 SLO:KAS WRITTEN BY SRI PARA:SARA BHATTAR. THEY ARE THE QUINTESSENCE OF 3 MANTHRAS. YOU CAN CHANT SRI VISHNU SAHASRA NAMA STHOTHRAM. YOU CAN ALSO CHANT SANKSHE:PA RA:MA:YANAM ETC, SO MANY ARE AVAILABLE IN OUR SRIPATHI STHUTHIMA:LA:. =chinnajeeyar= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
