Guest guest Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 From what Kochu says in his posts, Siddha Ashram sells Hindi-ized, mangled mantras. So the spirituality one can purchase may not be quite the real thing, which quietly lives on elsewhere. Perhaps mangling the for-sale mantras is Devi's doing. , " NMadasamy " <nora wrote: > > What really upsets me is when spiritualism is being treated like those cheap drugs you can buy over the counter.......

So should we just sit here and watch as these cheap travelling salesman come to our permises selling their wares when we know most often the product they are selling are not reliable? We know, We do not stop and caution the people here. I have no issue if they want to sell their thingy somewhere else.....but as long as they are in our group, its our right to caution the people. Eventually its the people own decision. Despite the warning and they still choose to purchase it, its their own doing. We have done our part. Am I not correct to say this?

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Yes, you are correct. Kulasundari says it very well (as she always does!) " [...] it's a responsibility that the community has to warn others about using secret or powerful bija mantras and sadhanas without proper guidance. In some traditions, bija mantras should only be used in the context of a larger ritual, where protections and invocations are used. Reciting them without proper context is like spinning one's wheels in the sand. There is no moving forward, only digging oneself deeper. This can feel like progress to someone who isn't properly prepared, but one has to consider the direction they're moving in.
