Then I met Sri Karunamayi asked Her for mantra for three years

She did not respond , finally last year She promised to give me mantra , I

was happy but

now again I feel a very strong pull to Ammachi and feel strong connection to

ask Ammachi

for mantra . I dont know what is considered proper anymore , or I am doing

something not

right are the Gurus testing me ?

 

 

 

Dear joanna ~ one goes where the heart leads. Even though Karunamayi gave

you a mantra doesn't mean that you can't ask Amma for one also. I have never

heard of Amma refusing to give some one a mantra, although I have heard that She

will sometimes make people wait for a spiritual name. When you see Amma this

year, ask Her for a mantra. I can't imagine Her saying no.

 

One factoid: you need to know what Deity you want the mantra for. For

example, my sister asked for a Hunaman mantra. I asked for an Amma mantra,

which I

adore. Some people ask for Jesus mantras. If you have an ishta devata

(spelling?), which is your Deity of choice, like Shiva or Saraswati or Ram,

etc.,

you can ask Amma for a mantra for that Deity. So all you need to take with you

is the awareness of what type of mantra you will ask for. Then, I believe,

there is now a special line for people who want mantras to get in, and a class

for people who have received mantras, which I believe is wonderful. They

didn't have that when I received mine.
