"Mantras without Initiation"

Mantras are science. Different types of mantras exist based on different Rishi's and Yogi's works.Mantras had enormous efforts in place.Rishis performed intense Tapasyas through which they realized the existence of them.

Sanaskritam is a very tricky language. It has beautiful placement of words and one needs good wisdom to understand the origin of it's placement and Tatparya. Mantras are segregated into various categories based on it's usage in Aachara. There are several acharas like Vedic, Vama
Kaula, Vaishnava, Madhwa etc. Different mantras require different level of repetitions to attain Sidhis or say the ability to use the mantra for said cause / mostly Loka Kalyana for large cases. There are many controversies regarding chanting a mantra with or without Guru.
It is purely a human specific in Kali Yug to decide, BUT as per shastras a Guru is required for initiating a person into intense mantras. This is for the good of the seeker and guru gets nothing except the satisfaction of transferring his Tapoh shakti into the shishya.
Vedically Mantra has to be used in a prescribed way and it has 3 to five major components of usage

Components of a Mantra
1. Rishi - Who Worked
2. Chandas - How it is spelled
3. Devata - Whom do we pray
4. Beeja - What is the source syllable
5. Shakti Tattva - Which is the type
In tantras an additional limb occurs that is KEELAKAM - The lock. One can get the science of unlocking the mantra through Nayasa from a Guru only. This is very important. Tantra is not easy science. It involves more dedication than one can even imagine.
One have to choose proper vedic mantras for good benefits. Usually mantras which contain Namah and Namo namaskaras can be taken for jaap. Mantras ending with Namaha is used to create a positive aura around us and attract a lot of shakti which is attached with the mantra.
These type of mantras usually benefit the humans who want to be in sadhna without any Kaamya(wishes) or Dharma aligned wishes. While on the other end some mantras require a specific prashad to a specific count and way to be chanted. It depends on the mantra.
Shloka rupa, Taraka Mantras, Namaskara Mantras, Vishnu sahasranama, Lalitha Sahasranamam, 108 namaas, 1008 naamas don't need initiation BUT they definetly need a PRANALIKA a plan and discipline. Just because it doesn't need a guru one shouldn't play with the maryada attached
Intense mantras and Tantric ones are checked through a padhati called Arvana Padhati whether it matches the seeker or not. Not all mantras suit every sadhaka. It might bring from beautiful effects to worst effects to self and family members too. It's not easy, "Right choice"
Even when you start Namaskara mantras choosing good time and a still having a guru is important. Attaching a thread in the last on how to start the same for major mantras. The universal guru for shaiva and shakti sect is Shree Dakshinamurthy and Maata Gayathri
The guru for Vaishna Sect depends , for some Swami Hayagreeva, some Swami Narasimha etc. So when you want to start your sadhana you have to choose a date time and tarabal good for you. Mantras are repeated in multiples of 9 mostly, some in 6, 7, 11 etc.The best is 108 & multiples
The number is chosen as per the Devta and mantra we want to.

For example : Surya Bhagwaan - number is 7 and repetition of cycle of 7 is preferred

Shiv - 5 and 11, shanmukha - 6 etc.

Best is to do 108 as there is an importance to "108" in japa.
Mantras with Beejas Hreem, Kleem, Aim, Shreem, Gloum etc.. should be strictly done. Any japa process has Shaucha, Niyamas & Pranalika (Discipline ) needed to be followed.
Any Sadhana requires BALI ..

What does Bali mean?

Shad Ripus the 6 enemies of life are major obstacles in life to move towards Moksha.
Kaam(Desires)
Kroth(Anger)
Lobha(Greed)
Moha(Attachment)
Mad(Ego)
Matsar(Eershya / Jealous)
The above said are the enemies of a blissful life. Some may question how do we leave desires? The answer to this is people achieve this Nishkaamya stage at a point when they start sadhana. It is a shift which happens slowly. Don't desire doesn't mean don't ask.
Ask for Dharma aligned kaamyas. One definetly can be rich overnight. Some may question how do we do DHARMO RAKSHATI RAKSHITAHA without Anger ? The answer to this is DHARMA AAGRAHA is required at the said time for the cause, but one should not be angry everytime saying this cause
Greed ? We leave it to your wisdom to understand one never stays happy if they are greedy. Contentment is the key.
What about Moha the attachments? Show we leave our relations ? Or say people in life and stay aloof? No? The answer is attaching self with material to be sacrificed
If humans stop attaching themselves to material and live with people with prem and vatsalya life becomes more easy. What about Ego then? answer would be Just ask yourself " Who am I" and your journey begins towards shedding the ego. What about Matsar ?
Did any human live peacefully who was jealous ? We experience our enemies are people who get into some of these Ripus. Sadhna is a Tapasya to change our life for betterment and elevate to a state where we gain more clarity in life not falling prey to these enemies of progress.
Know that TRIKARAN SHUDHI
The unity of the mind, speech and deeds is required for mantra sadhna or say Bhakti Vedanta. Hypocrite life doesn't benefit us. None is tailor made, our diligent try will show us ways to progress.
In Kaliyuga, Nama Sankeertana and Bhajan keerti, Japa Sadhana, Sthotra, Sthitis, Upachara pujas with Shradha and Bhakti BURNS THE PURVA JANMA SANCHITA KARMA OF A HUMAN and helps the person to maintain blissful life.
Help yourself, your children to start chanting atleast one sathwik mantra 108 times a day. It protects entire human's life without falling prey to the Kali and kukarmas.
It doesn't mean doing mantras without initiation would never nless us with a guru. It means when you are so involved in Bhakti and chintana, start it, take small steps and then Dev sends the Guru to us automatically blessing us. We prove our Bhakti he proves his care.

Identifying Purpose of Our Birth - Atmakaraka

A human should be questioning self "Who am I and Why am I here" The answer to this is not an easily achievable one. It needs great efforts in place to identify the purpose of our birth.


Elders say life is a boon actually when we identify the purpose of it. To identify it all we need is a Guru. Now guru doesn't mean he / She should be initially only a yogi on path. During this journey we have various people we meet and various types of Gurus in various forms.

The journey itself is a Guru., it teaches us alot. The answer to identifying purpose of our life is starting a sadhna / Tapasya in life to clear all the blockages and build a guided path moving towards it. All we need to do is start it.

To start this path you dont need a Guru initially. Once you start Guru comes to u as per Yuga dharma when you are ready to accept the knowledge and energies from him.

One should Identify their chara Atmakaraka( The moving Significator of the Soul ) in the birth chart. Atma means the soul and karaka means the significator if the Soul's desire in the current birth. Every soul is born with unfinished desires to be achieved.
"Busy Life Daily Puja & Neivedyas"

People would always have several doubts on what to offer bhagwan in their daily puja. For some it will be a million dollar question of how to do an express puja yet a satisfying one.


Upachara - "उपचार"

Refers to the offerings and services made to Bhagwan as part of worship. In shastras there are a count of upachara pujas we do.

पांच उपचार पूजा - 5 Upacharas
षोडशोपचार पूजा - 16 "
चतुःषष्ट्युपचार पूजा - 64 "

Out of these panch is used for daily puja.


Some use 16 upachras who are well versed with the way of doing it Effortlessly and have abhishekam at home daily. 64 is exclusively for festivals and special vrat. One can choose to do 5 upacharas daily and finish your puja peacefully.

How to start your Puja ?

1. Shudhikaran & Aachaman
2. Bhootashudhi & Pranayam
3. Sankalp
4. Choice of Upachara Puja
5. Aarti
6. Pradakshina
7. Mantra Pushpam
8. Bhoomi Sashtanga/Panchanga Namaskaram

Major pujas steps one should ideally follow

Shudhikaran & Aachaman

After bath and dressing with (washed clothes only) should arrange their requirements for puja.
Take water separately for Aachaman and Puja. Water shouldn't be used from same paatra ideally. Perform Aachaman as per your practice & for beginners - YouTube
Tripundra Dhaaran - Paapa Vimukti

Our generations are fascinated about Tripundram being just a religious symbol. There are in depth meanings of such a Tilak on a Seeker's Forehead


The very first mistake is the way it is applied.

Tripund isn't applied with dry Bhasm, it should be made wet and then applied in a prescribed manner with proper use of fingers and direction of application. Bhasm is collected from various sources


The most important ones mentioned in upanishats are 1. Yagnya Kund Bhasm 2. Bhasm made from Cow's Dung alone. A special agnihotram was perform to save the Bhasma after that for Dhaarana. A major mantra while applying bhasm is Mrutyunjaya Mantra


Dwijas have a very long process of applying the Tripundram along with their Sandhyavandanam. For commoners there are some basic rules people have to follow while applying Bhasm


Bhasm Applied in Morning - Should be mixed with water and applied
Bhasm Applied during Afternoon - Should be mixed with Chandan and Applied
Bhasm Applied during and after Pradosh - Should be applied Dry as such

A THREAD ON @SarangSood

Decoded his way of analysis/logics for everyone to easily understand.

Have covered:
1. Analysis of volatility, how to foresee/signs.
2. Workbook
3. When to sell options
4. Diff category of days
5. How movement of option prices tell us what will happen

1. Keeps following volatility super closely.

Makes 7-8 different strategies to give him a sense of what's going on.

Whichever gives highest profit he trades in.


2. Theta falls when market moves.
Falls where market is headed towards not on our original position.


3. If you're an options seller then sell only when volatility is dropping, there is a high probability of you making the right trade and getting profit as a result

He believes in a market operator, if market mover sells volatility Sarang Sir joins him.


4. Theta decay vs Fall in vega

Sell when Vega is falling rather than for theta decay. You won't be trapped and higher probability of making profit.
