of bija mantras and I was considering Aum Aim Shreem Kleem Swaha. I know the

There are tutorials in various places on getting started with mantra japa.

You might try www.shreemaa.org, which has video tutorials on a number of

subjects.

You'll find Mother in any house.

Do I dare say it in public?

She is Bhairavi with Shiva,

Durga with Her children,

Sita with Lakshmana.

She's mother, daughter, wife, sister -

Every woman close to you.

What more can Ramprasad say?

You work the rest out from these hints.

 

- Ramprasad Sen (1720-1781)

Om namah shivaya

Sri Matre Nayaha

 

Please have yourself initiated first and do not venture into any bija mantra

chanting until then - as bija mantras are poverful and requires touch with a

guru - who knows what mantra is to be given to which disciple. The Guru will

also guide you how to do the mantrajapa and to which beads are good and how to

hold the japamala.

 

Namaskar

Ravi

Thank you so much dear Shakti Thondan. It is very useful. First time I

pronounced those mantras I felt a rush of energy. They are very powerful. Thank

you and all those who are helping their younger brothers and sisters

(spiritually). A U M

Dear Ravi, thank you for your advice.

 

I find the mantra Aum Aim Hreem Kleem Chamundaye Vicche Namaha very close to my

heart, and the feeling after chanting it a few times is energy and joy. I found

it on Yogi Hari's CD called A Garland of Moksha Mantras.

Do you feel that a sadhak's devotion to Devi is not sufficient on a spiritual

path? I am sure, if Mother wants me to follow a certain Guru

she will take care of my needs as She usually does.

 

Namaste dear friend.

Absolutely RIGHT. All that a person needs is a true yearning and aspiration with

no expectation other than realizing the connection to the Mother. Everything

else She will take care of. In this case, Mother will send the Guru or She

Herself will come as Guru to the Saadhakaa. As the Mother says, " If you take one

sincere step towards Me, I will take nine steps towards you. " If you are feeling

the energy by reciting whatever mantra that our fellow Saadhakaas have provided

as guidance here or you have learned from other sources, good enough they are as

long as your longing for realization is true and authentic.

 

At Mother's Lotus Feet,

Shakti Thondan
