to Manjushri about mantra

[Guest guest]

Dear Manjushri ~ yes and thank you. You are right in thinking that what I had in mind was specific mantras ... actually I guess I was a bit confused and thought that was what you meant. So I appreciate the clarification, and I do know that as we perform puja, recitation, etc., the mantras are there in great variety. I, too, have also seen one mantra described in various ways. That is one reason I so love the little cards that Maa and Swamiji give out. They have Durga or Swamiji or Maa on the front and on the back is a mantra and its meaning. I appreciate your clarification. Jai Maa , Jai Swamiji

I think you have some specific mantras in mind. I was referring to themantras in, say, the Chandi Path or Guru Gita or Lalitha stotram.I find the translations self explanatory. I guess the interpretationsare something that we will eventually discover for ourselves in timeas we read and mull over the meanings. For example, I have found several explanations for the Gayatri Mantrain various sources, and no two explanations or interpretations areexactly alike.I hope I have understood your question correctly.
