Mantras advice request for nat.'s chart -- doshas and Ishta Devata

[Guest guest]

Dear Honorable List Members,

 

I am writing to request some advice from the more experienced

members of the list in terms of mantras and related sadhanas. My

request is in two parts: general, and specific in terms of my chart

data.

 

1. How safe is it to chant mantras to the planets without being

initiated by a guru if one observes proper pronunciation-- as

accurately as one can from a CD copy?

 

2. Based on the following birth data, could someone be kind enough

to recommend a suitable mantra and/or a more suitable sadhana? I

feel that mantra yoga is a good direction for me. . .
