When the disciple is ready, the guru shows forth! So goes the saying. Before we look out for a guru, we also need to assess ourselves and self-check, to see if we are competent enough for initiation from a competent guru? It is similar to power transmission over copper wires. The gauge of the wire and it's quality is very important to handle high voltage and likewise, when we approach a guru for higher spiritual progress, we also need maturity, general understanding of spirituality and some desire to know the true purpose of living etc. Most of us approach gurus for material benefits, rituals, procedures etc to overcome our crises with the expectation of the onset of "good times", so we can progress materially and life a comfortable life. During all of this, we have the least desires to go spiritual and dig deeper on understanding why we are here and what's next etc. Going further, let us assume we are competent spiritual seekers and serious about sādhana. At this time, we may need to seek out a competent guru, who is compassionate, experienced and knowledgeable about sādhana. You may get more information about the qualities of a guru in this series of articles - https://www.manblunder.com/articlesview/guru-and-mantra-initiation and https://www.manblunder.com/articles/guru-disciple-relationship. If all options for finding a competent guru are exhausted and the desire tor sadhana is great, then one can self-initiate following the procedures mentioned in this article - https://www.manblunder.com/articlesview/self-initiation-of-mantras.

Namaste Krishna ji
Could you please tell where or how to look for guru who has attained Sri vidya. Also how can one say that he/she is bluffing.
Also it is said one can make Lord Shiva their guru. Could you please tell me how to make Shiva your guru if it true.

This is allowed, if you follow what is called the Kaula mārga. One should attribute and consecrate the food as per the prescribed rituals and then consume it. Meat, alcohol etc. are permitted in limited quantities, after making special offerings to the deity and then consumed. You may seek more details from a Kaula guru and get initiated into the path.
This kavacam is suggested for those who are already reciting Her mantras.

You may approach any Śrī Vidyā guru and request to get initiated into it. Please do this only if you are very serious about self-realization and are ready for a spiritual journey. It is definitely NOT for material gain. Most people do experience difficulties with it, as the rate of karmic burning goes up several notches. Ideally, this is for mature individuals who are very serious seekers of Truth and are willing to face any type of difficulties to discover It.

If you are reciting the mantra as a standalone japa, then please follow the full procedures. If you are reciting this mantra as part of mahāṣoḍaśi mantra japa, then reciting the mantra a few times after the main mantra japa, is permitted.
Also, please note that if this becomes ajapa due to mantra alignment with breath, then nothing is required. In such a scenario, which usually happens after a long time, we can simply stick to the mantra and recite at all times.

Merely meditating on agnya chakra is not good without practicing pranayama. Sometimes, Kundalini, instead of activating lower chakras may enter into sahasrara, which could create problems. It is better you practice cleansing and energising chakras with this YouTube

Thank you sir. For example, I am initiated into a mantra. I meditate on that mantra on the Agna chakra daily. So, after some time, may be after few months, this mantra meditation helps me in activating the Agna chakra, right? If yes, what about the other chakras, will the Agna chakra take care of the lower ones?
