Guest guest Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Om Brihaspataye Namah Dear Gurvi, Namaste Thankyou for your reply. You mention that Diksha happens in many ways. Is it still considered as a diksha even though a person does not know Rishi, Chanda and Devata of the mantra? In my opinion, I think they should have not broadcast these mantras over the airways, but rather played some bhajans in worship of the Presiding Deity of the Temple.
