Guest guest Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Namaste Vishweshwar, I have purchased the book and have it now. I glanced over the portion with the bija mantras and the methods of chanting. Is one mala each enough to have results? Also is there a website that you know of that could help me with the pronunciation on the various mantras. From what I understand of mantras, the pronunciation is very important.Thanks for your time Jai Swamiji, Jai Maa Ryan , "inspectionconnection108" <inspectionconnection108 wrote: > > Namaste Ryan: > > The "Guru and the Goddess" book will provide 2 methods of using the > mantras. > > 1. repeat the negative mantra then the positive one, for 1 mala which > equals 108 times. > > 2. repeat the negative mantra for 1 mala, 108 times, then repeat the > positive one 1 mala, 108 times. > > When you get the book, we can discuss it in detail.
