To Renuka and all: about doing it right, and the Chandi mantra

[Guest guest]

Namaste Renuka: Swami indicated in his response to you about the

Chandi mantra that it begins with OM. He also said that Chandi is

your Mother and She loves you and will accept whatever you offer.

There is no " right or wrong " .

In the same way, when you were a young child and just beginning to

speak, and you began to talk to your Mother, you did not always speak

clearly, but she held you in her arms and told you how much she loved

you. She guided you, and gave you unconditional love.

There is no harm doing the mantra without OM at the beginning, but

Swami has indicated it is best to use OM.

I realize it is difficult when one begins a relationship with Maa and

Swami by e mail, but know that they are with you in your heart. Just

close your eyes and pray to them for help and guidance as you chant

the Chandi mantra.

I think of Shree Maa as Chandi, so when I am chanting this mantra, I

picture Her in my heart or third eye. Thus, my relationship with Her

grows more intimate when I chant this mantra. You can picture Maa or

whatever deity you feel closest to when you repeat the mantra.

This is just a suggestion, it is not a requirement. Do what feels

right to you, and always begin your practice by asking Her for Her

help and guidance, and when you finish, ask Her forgiveness of any

mistakes you may have made.

The most important thing is that you chant Her mantra. Do it daily

and you will see results.

 

God Bless

 

Jai Ma Jai Swami

Dear glassfairy ~ I don't know the answer to your second question,
