Without Guru’s Upadesham does any Deity’s mantra works or not?

[Guest guest]

Hi Friends,

 

Please clear this query.

 

Is it must to have a Guru to get Upadesham or to recite a particular mantra? Or

can we do it our self? If we have to choose Guru then are there any qualities we

must see and then choose or is it happens by Divine order?

 

I heard that if anyone wants to do Upasana of any deity then that person has to

take Upadesham from Guru.

 

However, how about then the mantras that we chant in our home daily without

Guru's Upadesham? Do they work or not?

 

Please advice.

 

Thanks,

M.Kishore

Some shastra it is said, " Sampradaya vina ye mantraste viphala-matah " - the

mantra not received from (a guru as passed down by) Sampradaya is considered to

have no result. That is called Diksha or mantra receiving initiation. Upadesh

means " advice " . But it seems that mantras from any source have their power, with

or without advice.

dear friends

 

the upadesam of a mantra by a guru is advised and recommended only for the

purpose of making the native hear and understand the correct pronounciation in

which process, the native is asked to repeat the mantra thrice before with

correct pronounciation before starting recital on his own. this is the only

objective behind guropadesam. however, you can take the upadesam from your

father, elder brother or any elderly known person, local priest at a temple or

your family purohit etc.
