Very good blog. Thank you very much for posting such good information which is helping many. My husband suffers from a chronic incurable disease and I love him a lot and I just cant bear to see him suffering. I am ready do anything for him. Can chanting shodashi mantra with complete devotion help me in it. Not necessarily nine lakh even if it is one crore time also I am ready to chant for him and want to save my life in half way that is troubled a lot. Can I go ahead and chant?

Guru Maṇḍala is not necessary. Shiva is the Guru of the entire universe. Haṁsa mantra is very authentic and highly sacred. You can read further explanation here. Haṁsa Mantra

Thanks for the reply, Sir. As you said, it's used while worshipping guru mandala- yet I don't have such a mandala. Can I use it simply as a devotional mantra to Lord Shiva, as stated in the post, in daily Shiva puja? I just want to know if this mantra is orthodox and does not have any errors in it so I can chant it with more faith. Please specify its origin if possible. Thank you.

This mantra has some slight modifications. Basically this mantra with variation is used while worshiping one's Guru Maṇḍala. This is formed out of 'ha' and 'sa'. where 'ha' stands for Shiva and 'sa' stands for Shakti. Here both Shiva and Guru are the same. I will soon write an article on this.

Dear Sir, I found a guru mantra that belongs to Lord Shiva, but I can not gain more information on it. As per your view point, is this mantra a genuine one? http://www.prophet666.com/2012/04/shiva-guru-mantra.html Should we do Shiva puja OR guru puja before reciting the mantra? Thank you for your time.

Many will disagree on this. There is no need to practice different mantras for the purpose of realizing the Self. This will lead to confusions. There should be one mantra, one devata and one guru. If this is not followed, then we will be reaching nowhere. It is said "मननात् त्रायते इति मन्त्रः॥ mananāt trāyate iti mantraḥ ||" Trāyate means to protect and to preserve. Mind is protected and preserved by repetition of a mantra. How many minds we have? Therefore, we need only one mantra to work with our breath and with breath we have to purify our mind and with purified mind, we can purify our consciousness and when the consciousness purified, we realize Her. Realization is a simple process and not complicated as often projected.

SirThanks. But Tara,Matangi are also seperate Mahavidyas similar to Sodashi. In that case, will Guru initiate the aspirant with Tara mantra also so that with her blessings he can reach the Sodashi ma easily?
