Swami answers about initiation

Navarna Mantra

#

 

Is it true that the mantra " Om Aim Hrim Klim Camundayai Vicce " should

not be chanted unless it is taught by a Guru?

 

The Navarana mantra should be received in initiation, but that is not

always possible. There are no ill effects of reciting the mantra

without initiation, if you have the intention of self purification,

but the energy contained in the mantra is ever so much more potent

after having received it from a qualified guru. In the absence of such

a relationship, if you are devoted to the Divine Mother, then recite

Her mantras with full faith, and when the circumstances permit, She

will bring the appropriate guru to give you initiation. This is true

for all mantras performed with the intention of self purification. If

you have other intentions, please consult a qualified teacher. But do

not ever hesitate to read, study, or practice.

Is it true that without a formal initiation into the Navarna Mantra I

will not get the benefits of the chanting? Can I consider hearing

Shree Maa chanting the Navarna mantra as an initiation?

 

There are many kinds and levels of initiation. If you consider Shree

Maa as the example you want to follow, then she is your Guru. You have

been initiated. More will come as is necessary.
