Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 OM Namah Shivaye Dear Yuvraj, It is Shiva's grace that you can remember him all of the time. I have heard in an internet lecture(mp3 file) that a few things are important for japa and I am stating them here. (By the way I myself do not satisfy all these conditions) - Initiation into the mantra by a guru - Remembering the mantra rishi (offering prostrations to him before your japa) - Doing japa with mala at the same time and place/seat every day (ofcourse you can continue your perpetual japa but keep a fixed time solely for this purpose) - Chanting the mantra in the right way - neither too fast nor too slow - Your love and devotion for the mantra and deity regards, OM Namah Shivaye --- yuvraj <yuvrajsaharan wrote: > Om Namah Shivaye > > i am yuvraj saharan, studying political science in Indiana. > > Could anyone please inform me whether i am right in meditating on > Shiva's name all the time.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Yuvraj, Lord shiva himself is our guru, he and his divine kingdom will guide us in our spritual pursuit, so continue what your heart tells you to do regarding spiritual things, because divine communication comes to us in the form of thougts, visions, dreams and through other people and so on. It is good if you find good Guru in your spiritual pursuit, even if you do not find you can still pursue, because Lord Shiva himself is the highest guru, If lord Shiva wants he will lead you to proper guru and spiritual people.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 my two pence worth here......... I find it extremely hard to transliterate the phonetics of Sanskrit words into English. I have found that for the ones among us that like to have the Sanskrit words spoken accurately, the best way is to find a local person that has good knowledge of two languages in question and record their accurate pronunciation. I have always thought of putting some of the commonly used Mantras in some form of audible format (probably MP3 as it seems to be pretty widely used these days) but it has never come to fruition with me so far. Maybe someone out there with a good pronunciation would want to take up the challenge and record some of the commonly used Mantras........ Here is what I think are commonly used Mantras: Om Namah Sivaya MMJ Gayatri Maha Mantra If others can think of some more maybe we put them all together and among us we can put together some accurate phonetics for those....

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Here are some revelations about Guru: 1. Kabir Guru and God both appear before me. To whom should I prostrate? I bow before Guru who introduced God to me. 2. Brahmanda Purana Guru is Shiva sans his three eyes, Vishnu sans his four arms Brahma sans his four heads. He is parama Shiva himself in human form 3. Adi Shankara in his Gurustotram: Guru Brahma Guru Vishnu Guru Devo Maheshwara Guru Sakshath Parambrahma Tasmai Shri Gurave Namaha This means: Guru is creator Brahma; Guru is preserver Vishnu; Guru is also the destroyer Siva and he is the source of the Absolute. I offer all my efforts to the Guru. 4. Starting with Shiva as Dakshinamoorthy, the Advaita Guru parampara has the following successors: nArAyaNa, padmabhuva (brahmA), vasishTha, Sakti, parASara, vyAsa, Suka, gauDapAda, govinda bhagavatpAda, SankarAcArya, padmapAda, hastAmalaka, toTaka, sureSvara (vArttikakAra), and others.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Sh.Yuvraj, Your thought is perfectly in order. It is not mandatory to have a Guru as advised by revered members of this group. The idea of getting a Guru for necessary guidance shall be understood for its insistence. Most of the "mantra' we chant, are "Naada" (Sound) based, its correct pronunciation renders joy to the mind. Secondly, the punctuation and pausing shall be carefully understood. Thirdly, unlike English "Sanskrit" and all Indian languages uses "Sandhi" (Joining of two or more words to comply with the rules of grammar) and this shall be kept in mind for proper pronunciation. If these things are understood well, one need not go to any Guru. The aforesaid explanation is in general. The most welcoming thought by Spiritual scholars is that one need not bother for rules and shall chant "mantras" with full freedom and happiness, believing Almighty as ones Guru and Guide. This clears the mind from all doubts and shall bring the bliss of the Lord. Most commonly committed mistake is that one bothers more for the adherence of the rules and loses the essence of deriving the pleasure of chanting the "mantra" In "MahabharatEklavy" had become the able and best archer by taking "Dronachary" as his Guru in his mind.
