Doubts, Questions, Informations

Dear Dharmendra,

 

Namaskar

 

Please see below:

 

1) It is understandable that a lot of people these days take short

cuts when they are unable to recite mantras in the puja room. Yes,

it can be done when driving or travelling and will not aggravate the

deities. This form of mantra chanting is acceptable by Liberal

(Smarta) Hindus.

 

2) Congratulations about having chanted 3 malas of Kali mantra and

seeing a flame from which other smaller flames came with Maa Kali's

image! This means Maa Kali has bestowed Darshan upon you.

 

3) Its great that you are all garlanding Sri Shirdi Sai Baba with

the Guru-Kantha on Mahashivaratri. The Sumeru has to be behind the

neck (up). It should not face down towards the stomach.

 

Om Namah Shivaya

me) chant mantras while driving a vehicle, while traveling in a

train/plane etc. Though the culture/religion says to perform these in

a certain way (like in a puja room with incense sticks, etc) but we

try to take short cuts. Could the short cut ways of chanting mantras

aggravate some particular deities? Is this form of mantra chanting

acceptable by the liberal Hindus?

(again short cut way). After I finished the mantras in my

subconscious state I saw a flame and too many small flames coming out

of that flame and each of them had Kali mata's image in it. Is their

a special significance or meaning to this?

Baba. We plan on garlanding him on MahaShivratri - When garlanding

the mala does the sumeru bead has to be behind the neck (up) or

towards the stomach (down) OR does it even matter?
