Mantra & sadna questions - Page 2

Mantras are not to be treated lightly or trifled with.I agree .Mantras lose the potency if we just treat it casually.Any mantra or vidya learnt without a Guru is akin to begetting a son thro illegal means,Shastras proclaim.Whhen all this knowledge is given by Shastras,we cannot discard or disregard shastras here and use our discretion.It would only mean that we are not sincerely following shastras

As one who had posted a number of Mantras of different Deities over the internet (under a different name. Many of those posts have been copied to this forum) during the period 2001 to 2004, my experience is that this does not benefit any one.

I think we should advise the members about the pros and cons of Mantra Sadhana. May be I will try to start a new discussions about that.

dhruvbhura, the Navarna Mantra is recited differently for different purposes. For Maranam, Vasheekaranam, Ucchatanam, Sthambanam etc. the way it is said is different and different procedures are followed. These are unrecorded instructions. That is why people wonder about this Mantra and its usage.

Hey Guys,

Chill out yaars....at the end the reasult is important......whether u take a capsule from the chemist or from the doctor himself....the reasult should be that u should be alright and healthy.....

Ya , just one thing is that no wrong medicine should be given ...it might take ur life also ...is the same with sadnas..

Take care,

Rahul

Rahul Ji,

That "capsule whether from a chemist or a doctor" analogy cannot be used in matters pertaining sadhana. The success of one's sadhana depends on several underlying factors. Namaste.

That is exactly the point. There are thousands of medicines available with the Chemist. But for certain strong medicines a Doctor's prescription is necessary. The doctor examines the patient and determine whether the medicine is suitable for him/her. Then the medical companies also do research and find out about the side effects and advise you. The doctor is aware of these side effects and takes these into account while prescribing.

The Guru is like the Doctor.

These rules are in force to protect the common man. All medicines are not over-the-counter Drugs. Treating all mantras as the same is like treating all medicines as over-the-counter drugs. The law prevents you from buying and taking Pethidine for a Head ache. Of course you can always bribe someone, get Pethidine and take it for a minor Head ache.

What we are trying to do is to warn people against using strong Mantras without knowing whether it is really necessary or about the side effects.

But then nothing can prevent a determined person from taking Pethidine for a head ache. Yes. Pethidine does cure a head ache also.

Similar is the case with Mantras.

Many of us know that the seeds of the fruit Kala Jamun has the property to reduce Blood glucose. It is used in Ayurveda.

Jambul - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

But we also know that if you take it is in large quantities, the blood pressure falls so low that you go into a Coma.

The system of Ayurveda which is based on our scriptures does face this problem. All the medicines do not have the same effect on all the people. That is why the testing procedures of the Allopathic medicines can not be applied to Ayurveda.

A little knowledge could often be very dangerous.
