The Editor 84 Report post Posted April 17, 2014 In the present age of Kali yuga mantra japa is the yuga dharma, or main process for self realization. It is simple, requires no background qualification, and can be done anywhere at any time. Sit down in a peaceful place and silently chant your mantra. In the beginning start for 10 minutes, and gradually increase. The mind will become fixed and peaceful usually after 30 minutes, and then the more fruitful sadhana will start. Other options for sadhana are puja (worshipping a deity of God), meditation (dhyanam), svadhyaya (self study of scriptures), etc. 2 che10 and kirti upadhyay reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is there a mantra or mantras dedicated to him which i may use in sadhna. Please enlighten Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Editor 84 Report post Posted April 23, 2014 The most common mantra is the maha mantra: hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare Some scriptures have the mantra reversed beginning first with hare rama. This is a nama mantra which does not require initiation by a guru, and can be chanted by anyone at anytime. The Kali Santarana Upanishad states about this mantra: iti shodasakam namnam kali-kalmasha-nasanam natah parataropayah sarva-vedeshu drisyate "The sixteen words 'Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare' are especially meant for completely destroying all the contamination of Kali yuga. To save oneself from the contamination of Kali Yuga, there is no alternative in all the Vedas except the chanting of this sixteen-word mantra." Other common mantras for Lord Vishnu are om namo bhagavate vasudevaya and om namo narayanaya. 1 che10 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
