Guest guest Posted September 7, 2001 Report Share Posted September 7, 2001 So, to make it known to the saints that they are the embodiment of Shiva, Parvati questions Shiva and bows down before Him. It means that for the sake of those saints, She had done a good deed in the form of service to Guru. Who is Parvati's Guru here? Truly husband is the Guru for a lady. She should be initiated by him alone. But when he doesn't know any of the mystic formulae, the couple should be initiated by the same Guru. Who should initiate? One who has already attained accomplishments is alone competent to initiate others. Some people feel greatly satisfied as if they got wonderful initiation when they are put to severe tests, made to fast till they nearly collapse and at last when a small spell is breathed into their ear. Some gurus also do like that. Such gurus are for such disciples. Those who initiate others should chant the spell crores of times indeed. They should attain the fulfillment of that spell. Then with that power, the spell should be given secretly to the disciple. If it is done like that, then only the disciple becomes evolved. So great men don't pass on initiations so quickly. In this context you should know the quality of incantation. Some chant spells loudly. But if the sound doesn't come out and goes on like a murmur with the movement of lips. it is better. But this is only a middle course. Not only should sound come out but lips and tongue too should not move. Silent repitition of the spell in mind is the best. Its result is a thousand times greater. Chanting should be done in a happy mood. That happiness reflects in the face when done with the experience of the bliss of the sacred formula. Some people put up an awkward face while chanting. Chanting goes on one side and the curse of thoughts run on the other, and that is the cause of awkwardness. Obviously it bodes no good. Till now the Mother Goddess wishes such an initiation.
