Guest guest Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Hi sadhakas, I am your wellwisher , please i request you all not to enchant the below or any mantra without guru upadesam. Please dont post the maha mantras. If you people want maha mantras I can buy some tantras published by chukhamba publishers and I can copy paste. But for your kind info, every mantra is locked(keelanam). So that mantra has to be unlocked or it must come from unlocked parampara. that is called Utkeelanam(unlock ). That is possible for Guru only. He will take all good or bad efforts for the mantra. The mantra below posted is Nrusimha Anustubha maha matram. This is the form of Rudra. For every, mantra there is some niyamams(Rules). For some mantras there are some saapas(curse) also. Example take gayatri mantram, its needs saapa vimochana mantras.It is having 3 sapas from Brahma, Vasista and Visamitra. so if you do gayatri mantra, you have to do 3 sapavimochana mantras for gayatri. so please dont chant any mantras without any rules.Please try to understand my expression.

But then after every mantra is recited we normally ask for forgives if i did the thing incorrectly. So what if we get the curse or ill effect. The mantra gives us the zeal to go one step towards God. The God you loves us will know that we are doing things incorrectly and will send us an Guru so that we chant it correctly. Rather than not doing anything and getting further away from God. It is better we chant these mantras. So what if couple of births are dammed due to incorrect chanting. But then ultimately we will reach the God in the next life. Any how hundred of births has gone in fullfilling our desires and satisfy our needs. Let couple we wasted in taking his name. When the student is ready the Guru will come. Sir this is not personal, but hinduism is taught us to be free thinkers. Please correct me if i have gone wrong. After all the soul is here to know and rectify its mistake. Jai GuruDev.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Dear Narasimha Rao garu, I did not see any conditions imposed on Gayatri mantra, with or without any guru's initiation gayatri mantra can be recited. Gayatri mantra is a universal well being mantra, it is a mantra that brings light into our lives. Pundit Shri Ram Sharma who established Gayatri pariwar encourages people to chant Gayatri mantra, so does Sant Keshav Das, Please read Sant Keshav Das's book "Gayatri the highest meditation", I did not see any restrictions in it, my mantra guru also never told me about any such restrictions. There are may secret mantras that are meant for specific purposes, only great siddhas have access to them and they are controlled by them, this control does not apply to all mantras atleast for Gayatri mantra. Some gurus keep confusing people to gain some attention and control people we have to be careful what they say and use our own contemplation, reasoning and judgement.
