Guest guest Report post Posted December 13, 2006 Om Sri Matre Namaha My Dear Loving Ones, Thanks for all the suggestions and guidances you gave me... Ya they indeed have help me a lot in taking the proper steps ahead though im still in confusion about some I've read... The best thing to do is that I will listen to the inner voice what I must do because it is said that God 'Devi' speaks through us It is true that I was a devotee of Satya Sai Baba and at that time he was my Guru and God and Father, but after some deceptions received and i realise things, I left.. Anyway, whether i find a Guru or not, one thing is sure is that Im holding my Maa anchal and whether I'm wrong or not in my puja, My Devi Maa, will hold my hands to lead me - afterall she is Mother and she knows well what is best for her little son... Love Parishant > > Jai Shri Mataji! > Dear Prishant, It is wonderful to see your love of the Mother .,and also for you search for a true Guru to teach you and initiate you into Her Most Sacred and Powerful Worship.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 13, 2006 Due respect should be given to mantras and stotras, regardless of intention. Saying such statements will only encourage people who inherently should not engage in such practices to proceed to incurring damage. These are mediums by which an individual establishes a link with Shakti, call her Devi or Maa or whatever but these titles are secondary to her original nature as Shakti. All Scripture stress on the need for Guru, just because you can buy a book that as a list of stotras does not essentially make you eligable for reciting or practicing them. At best you will get nothing out of it, but in many instances people become negatively affected by unregulated mantra sadhana. Bhakti is a different yoga to Mantra yoga. Be sure not to confuse the two. They have different rules, understandings and protocol. joannapollner <joannapollner > Wednesday, 13 December, 2006 1:42:19 AM Re: Mantras As with all mantras , stotras ect.... if the intention is pure , from heart I believe there should be no harm ( however there are certain aspects which under the guidance of Guru bring much more success on once spiritual path ) joanna <!-- #ygrp-mlmsg {font-size:13px;font-family:arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif;} #ygrp-mlmsg table {font-size:inherit;font:100%;} #ygrp-mlmsg select, input, textarea {font:99% arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif;} #ygrp-mlmsg pre, code {font:115% monospace;} #ygrp-mlmsg * {line-height:1.22em;} #ygrp-text{ font-family:Georgia; } #ygrp-text p{ margin:0 0 1em 0; } #ygrp-tpmsgs{ font-family:Arial; clear:both; } #ygrp-vitnav{ padding-top:10px; font-family:Verdana; font-size:77%; margin:0; } #ygrp-vitnav a{ padding:0 1px; } #ygrp-actbar{ clear:both; margin:25px 0; white-space:nowrap; color:#666; text-align:right; } #ygrp-actbar .left{ float:left; white-space:nowrap; } ..bld{font-weight:bold;} #ygrp-grft{ font-family:Verdana; font-size:77%; padding:15px 0; } #ygrp-ft{ font-family:verdana; font-size:77%; border-top:1px solid #666; padding:5px 0; } #ygrp-mlmsg #logo{ padding-bottom:10px; } #ygrp-vital{ background-color:#e0ecee; margin-bottom:20px; padding:2px 0 8px 8px; } #ygrp-vital #vithd{ font-size:77%; font-family:Verdana; font-weight:bold; color:#333; text-transform:uppercase; } #ygrp-vital ul{ padding:0; margin:2px 0; } #ygrp-vital ul li{ list-style-type:none; clear:both; border:1px solid #e0ecee; } #ygrp-vital ul li .ct{ font-weight:bold; color:#ff7900; float:right; width:2em; text-align:right; padding-right:.5em; } #ygrp-vital ul li .cat{ font-weight:bold; } #ygrp-vital a { text-decoration:none; } #ygrp-vital a:hover{ text-decoration:underline; } #ygrp-sponsor #hd{ color:#999; font-size:77%; } #ygrp-sponsor #ov{ padding:6px 13px; background-color:#e0ecee; margin-bottom:20px; } #ygrp-sponsor #ov ul{ padding:0 0 0 8px; margin:0; } #ygrp-sponsor #ov li{ list-style-type:square; padding:6px 0; font-size:77%; } #ygrp-sponsor #ov li a{ text-decoration:none; font-size:130%; } #ygrp-sponsor #nc { background-color:#eee; margin-bottom:20px; padding:0 8px; } #ygrp-sponsor .ad{ padding:8px 0; } #ygrp-sponsor .ad #hd1{ font-family:Arial; font-weight:bold; color:#628c2a; font-size:100%; line-height:122%; } #ygrp-sponsor .ad a{ text-decoration:none; } #ygrp-sponsor .ad a:hover{ text-decoration:underline; } #ygrp-sponsor .ad p{ margin:0; } o {font-size:0;} ..MsoNormal { margin:0 0 0 0; } #ygrp-text tt{ font-size:120%; } blockquote{margin:0 0 0 4px;} ..replbq {margin:4;} --> Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 13, 2006 Dear Parishant, If your desire to chant the LSN is for spiritual reasons and to praise Her, there are no boundaries. Just chant Her names as best and as much as you are able. She knows your Heart. Those statments regarding being cursed if you chant without a Guru's blessing and initiation were meant for people who wanted to chant it for "selfish" material gain. Same goes with the Chandi Path. Mother gives all things to Her children. Of course a true Guru's Blessings are always desireable with anything. My Amma, Mata Amritanandamayi, comes to Mauritius each year and has an ashram there. Here are the contact details: Mata Amritanandamayi Center St. Jean Rd., Quatre Bornes Mauritius Tel: +230.4662718, +230.4641863 Fax: +230.454 5031 Email: ammaur (AT) intnet (DOT) mu So just keep chanting Her names and stotrams praising Her as much as you can. She will provide everything else you might require or need, so don't worry. If you need specific initiations down the road, they will simply happen. Jai Maa!

Guest guest Report post Posted December 13, 2006 Dear Parishant, Do yourself a favour. Chant the 108 names of Lord Krishna and he will show you the right path for your present state of conciousness. Dont think that everything is permissable in the hindu religion. There are conditions for everything. One cant go by leaps and bounds but one step at a time. Remember that LSN has to be chanted first and then Lord Shiva. Since I know the method I have revealed it to you. I seek the welfare of your soul. May Lord Krishna guide you.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 13, 2006 JAI MAA, If your desire is so strong that SRI MAA herself be your guru then SHE herself will appear in front of you and guide you. She will take a human form and be with you all the time. She will throw many things your way to test you but the one who studies can sit for the exams and pass or fail. SRI MAA ( a mother) will never give a child a knife unless the knife is necessary for the child. If every fiber , every cell in you is dedicated to HER, every memo you write, every word you utter, every mantra you recite, every morsel you cook is for HER then there is no difference whether you are in the house or in the forrest. The vibrations may be different but eventually you become videha. You may come across a guru who is not SAT CHID ANAND himself but eventually you will have a guru who is poorna himself, poornah midam becuase you asked SRI MAA.

Guest guest Report post Posted December 13, 2006 Well said, Kartik! You have made a clear distinction between mantra yoga and bhakti yoga. Someone has said in one of the posts here that mantras and stotras ... if intention is pure etc. What we need to understand, whether or not it is to our liking, mantras are a different class from stotras. About Guru, 'Samitpaanih Vidwaansam brhmanishtham praapya varaan nibodhata'. Yaavat mayoktam alam iti manyaami. Naastyatra sandehah kaschidapi. Kintu aadyandina aadhunika reetyaam lokaah, mantravishaye paamaraah santah api, anyathaa saamaajika paaschaatya vidyaanipunaah, swayameva sarvamantra-adhikaarinah aatmaanam manyamaanaah, sarvatra vartante, vardhante cha. Teshaam saamye mantraadikaaryopari vaada-prativaadou aakshepaneeyou anarthakau cha bhavatah.

As I was reading this particular message suddenly this story come to mind, told to me by a friend. I just have to share it with all. One day his guru and him went to a temple. A trance session was going on, over the other side of the temple. A lot of people waiting in line to see. His guru was doing his private pooja when one of the temple people invited him meet this so called "priest" who was into trance. This "priest" claim to be Lord Shiva. Initially the guru refuses but his sishya pleaded him and so he did. He sat before this "priest" and wrote something on a piece of paper, and showed it to the "priest". He asked : can you explain to me what this verse means. The "priest" look at the paper and said "No I do not know what it means". The Guru remarked : how can that be. You are the one who gave this at Mount Kailasa, and its being revealed in the Siva Sutra. The "priest" immediately send everybody out and said "I would like to have a private moment with my son". As soon as the room was cleared, the "priest" pleaded with the Guru, and admit "I am not Lord Shiva. I am only an ordinary spirit residing at that corner. Please do not expose my secret!"

Guest guest Report post Posted December 14, 2006 Dear Nora, Namaskar. I agree with you that DEVI have been helping everyone at right time. Absolutely I have no doubts on this subject. It is the people who are out of Shakti path could not understand real nature and kindness of DEVI and often keep generating doubts in their minds. Unlike many other holy saints who lived on earth sometime back but not present in 2006, DEVI existence is reality and sbe is always present around us and reveals herself at right time and guide her devotees in success path.

But i do think that Devi will not be angry if ever I did a mantra or LSN if ever it was prohibited!! But i believe as a Mother she will tell me that this is not good and to give me something else..

Guest guest Report post Posted December 16, 2006 Regarding Manthras there are two kinds. One type of manthras are to be initiated by GURU ONLY. In this type manthras which are abstract and do not reveal the meaning on reading . Meaning of these mathras are hidden and they can not be understood by us without Guru and proper upasana. Some other type of manthras are nama manthrs. These are availabe to oevery body. By reading Lalitha Sahaasrnama orVishnu Sahasranama you will get experiend the effect of hidden monthas in these namas. For yjese type of monthras youn devotion and bhakthi is important than a GURU. By Chanting these Namas of God or Goddess, one dsy surely A SPIRITUAL GURU will come to us and get ourselves initiated by him or otherwise the Deveatha or Devathai whose namas are recited by us everyday will herself come give her blessing and do upadesa, THAT IS THE GRACE OF GOD/GODDESS, GOPALASWAMY. sangar narayanan <mackro1932 > wrote: Only a guru who has reached "that" state can alone impart and deliver the divine energy to the disciple.
