to dwain about different mantras

November 19, 2008

Dear dwain ~ please know that I am sharing only from my own understanding. I

have an mantra that Amma gave to me. I also have a mantra from when I was

initiated into Transcendental Meditation, which was long before I met Amma.

Also, a few years back, Amma Herself was teaching what was called the Ma Om

Mantra, a very wonderful mantra, and there was a tape with Big Swami telling

about how to do it. Now there is something called the I AM Meditation, which you

can also learn if you go to one of Amma's programs when She is here in the US,

or you can learn from a " certified " teacher.

However, it doesn't have to stop there. There is a Durga mantra I use quite

often, and Om Namah Shivaya is another mantra, as is just the word " OM. "

Besides that, there is a book available from the M.A. Center's Amma's

Bookstore.

I believe it is called very simply, " Puja. " If I have the name wrong, someone

here please correct me for dwain's benefit. It has practices that you can

add to your mantra meditation, like offering of different items like flowers

and such. Also the instructions given at the bottom of each week's prayer list

contain several suggestions for alternative mantras one might use. So you

see, dwain, your heart's desire is already met. All you need do is look, reach

out, and use the " tools " for devotion. Jai Jai Ma ~ Linda

i am a relatively new student of Ammachi. can a more senior student

please tell me if it's okay to read one or two malas of a mantra

associated with amma/divine mother when i have received a different

mantra? i feel inspired to do some daily guru devotion besides my main

deity practice.
