Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I had the following questions about " Mantras " . I would be happy to receive any clarifications. Q1. We all know that an awakened mantra is more effective than one that is chosen from a list.Does one need to be initiated by Sri Swamiji or Shreemaa to be able to " effectively " chant any of the mantras that were recently posted on these pages? Q2. I understand that there is a need to be faithful to the Guru Mantra and that it should repeated it ceaselessly. How does one treat Special Purpose Mantras? Does one get " obligated " to a Deity after mantra takes effect (assuming that the Mantra is of a Higher Deity)? How does one safely thank the Deity of the Mantra and continue with the Guru Mantra. Is there a process? Q3. There are many stories that I have heard when the Deity is not pleased with the person who is chanting. What is the right attitude and right method of chanting? Q4. During Purascharana, when the mantra is chanted at high speeds, there is a chance that Mantras are repeated incoherently. Are these chants of any use? Doesn't the Mantra's Deity know that the chant is directed towards Him or Her and accepted anyway? Or is Mantra Sabda Spashtatha (Clarity of Sound of Mantra) of prime importance with Guru Mantra. I am a recent addition to this group.I look forward to any perspective and advice that anyone might want to share with me Thanks Sivakumar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
