Guest guest Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Swamiji, This verse says, "Those people who perform sacrifices, yagyas, sacred vows, purifying austerities, tapasyaa, offering gifts, recitation of mantras (japa), sacred pilgrimages, in the absence of understanding the principle of Guru, perform like fools." What is it about gurutattwa that must be known in order not to perform like a fool? Is the dhyaanam referring to the guru tattwa when it says "...perceives all existence and resides in infinite bodies?" Or does that refer to Shiva, and the latter part refer to the guru tattwa, as a manifestation, or perhaps an activity of Shiva, when it says, "Meditate upon the syllables Gu Ru, the manifestation of the eternal, the perceivable form of letters, who exposes the principle That, who always remains in the state of perfect equilibrium, whose feet are perceived to emit light."

Guest guest Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Dear Swami ji, I have kala sarp dosha in my kundli so i started chanting the SARPA MANTRA for 125000 times. Is that also a mistake as i started it myself without any initiation.
