Ashish,

How can I come to know if I have been successful or
not in the Sadhna that I perfomed? How long do I need
to wait for the results of the Sadhna to appear? May
be it is a stupid question for you, but please guide
me here.

Also on the web site and also in the MTYV magazine I
have seen the details of certain Mahavidya Sadhnas.
Can we be successful in Mahavidya Sadhans by following
that procedure. I was talking to somebody and he said
that Mahavidya Sadhnas are very diffult and success
in them can not be achieved by following the steps in
the MTYV magazine. He was of the view that for success
Mahavidya Sadhnas one needs to do 1250 rounds of the
Mantra and one also needs to take diksha from Gurudev
before performing Mahavidya Sadhna. I am a little
confused that should I do Mahavidya sadhan as per the
MTYV magazine or not. And if I do will I be
successful.

I ask such stupid questions. Sorry

Thanks
S

Hi...

First of all, stop calling yourself or your questions stupid. You are
not the first person facing these questions and, believe me, you are
not the last one either.

> How can I come to know if I have been successful or

That depends on how you measure success. According to Guruji, no
sadhana can ever fail. Every mantra that you chant, no matter which
one it is, takes you a step closer towards your ultimate goal. The
quality of pronounciation, concentration etc. simply determine the
size of that step. Experiences vary from person to person. No two
persons can feel success the same way. But one thing I can say for
sure, whenever it will happen to you, you'll know it has happened.

YES. Sadhana from MTYV, sadhana from Guruji, sadhana from here,
sadhana from there; in the end, it's only a game of mind working on
the WYTIWYG (What You Think Is What You Get) terminology. Because
gods, deities, Guru are not out there; they are in there, inside you,
behind your eyes, between your ears. Ahh... forget the heart; it's a
tinker toy, a mere pump. Your emotions, too, are created and
controlled by your mind. So, as I said earlier, it's not a question
of whether, it's a question of when and that entirely depends on your
mind.

> he said that Mahavidya Sadhnas are very diffult

Of course, they are. Tougher than you would ever imagine. But, many
have successfully completed them, If they can why can't you?

Here, re-read para 2 & 3 written by me above. Again, it depends on
how far you are from being successful and how much training your mind
needs.

> should I do Mahavidya sadhan as per the MTYV magazine or not.

Only Guruji can answer this question.

Good luck...

Ashish...

Thanks a lot Ashish. That was very encouraging.
