Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 I have been reciting the Gayatri for 37 1/2 years with no apparent ill effect. I've never had, nor do I seek formal initiation in Gayatri mantra. Some people believe that the Chandi is haunted and therefore shun it. I've recited the Chandi for 5 years also without formal initiation. , "mahakali108" <mahakali108> wrote: > > > > i was told, and have read, that the savitre gayatri mantra is a > solar mantra and can cause overheating, so should not be > chanted without proper instruction. is that true? i like that mantra, > but now i feel nervous to chant it. > kalidas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Kalidas, I hope you don't mind if I respond. Savitri Gayatri is said to be one of the few mantras which can be recited with full benefits, without initiation. It is also said to be a protective mantra. Yes, it is a solar mantra, and yes, it can create heat. It can also create cold. It is a powerful mantra; it is very great. If you are fortunate enough to experience any of these effects of Gayatri japa, understand that like a compassionate guru, who puts her desciple through various trials, Gayatri Mata will turn up the heat on her devotees. This fire is the fire of purification. I have been assurred that Gayatri Mata will not harm her devotees, so look upon these experiences as graces, not objects of fear. I was honored with such an experience once. It is a great blessing. Jai Maa!
