So our method is purely meditational and chanting driven. The techniques are closely related to samayachara and there are no external worship adviced in this path. Ideally, process starts from rituals (navavarana puja), japa, breath control, meditations. Since the method is purely internal, no rituals are involved.

Namaste kuru ji, krishna ji and other sincere sadhak. You both are right in your perspective i agree with both you, guru is needed, but it doesn't mean the guru needs to be a human being. On contrary after some deep contemplation, I came to the conclusion that the entirety of guru depends upon the sadhak what kinda of guru he needs. The guru of gurus, guru Dattatreya himself had guru in different bodies without any lineage without any parampara and yet he become the Guru of gurus. This just goes to show the competence of the sadhak and his devotion is all that is needed. Which is why I highly agree with tīvra ji statement and opinion.

Dear Herodion and Kuru Sandhyasa and anyone else who is willing to offer initiations and advice to prospective spiritual aspirants and sādhakas, it would be of great help if you can provide your contact information and the sādhanas that you are familiar with and can offer dīkṣa in. I will talk with the other admins of Manblunder to enlist you as Gurus on our Initiations page so you may help the sincere sādhakas directly. As you have mentioned previously, the guru must discreetly offer advice to the aspirants and guide them one on one. I will also ensure that requests for intiations are forwarded to you on a regular basis as well, so you may take on more sādhakas and guide them on a regular basis. If you are able to record renditions of various stotras and nāmāvalīs, we can also upload them on our youtube channel and give due credit to you. I would certainly like to enhance the site with all the offerings that you may provide for the benefit of all. Please consider this request and I also request that you convey the same to your selfless gurus to make themselves available to be referred to directly from our site listings if possible. As they say, actions speak louder than words! I sincerely hope that you consider this request and provide the requested details. You may write to me directly at krishna@manblunder.com with the information that you would like us to provide on our initiations page for direct contact by sādhakas.

I will certainly get this worked out and also work on the suggestions provided by others. You can also search the comments page by inputting their names and performing a search. There may be some missing comments and I will work with the Tech team to get that resolved. We will also work on adding more fields to search the comments database. Hopefully the tech team can get this done sometime this year or the next. Everything is done voluntarily and this may take some time.

Mnx

Namaste Jayanth ji, thank you for sharing the process. It is customary in the Srividya Sampradaya for disciples to be introduced to the Sri Chakra Navavarana Puja at some point. However, you did not mention this. Additionally, I am curious to know what happens once one attains Mahashodashi; does one continue with that for the remainder of their life, or is there a different path? Thank you.

My previous four questions do not have a correct answer; or rather, assuming such a thing exists, it will not be found in scripture. Regardless, I will quote a great teacher who was guru for many of this collective: "Though this is not appropriate method of initiation, we have to necessarily depend upon electronic media due to time and distance. However, I never liked to be called as a teacher or a Guru, as I always believe, that God alone is the Supreme Guru. All my services are freely available and no monetary gain is involved at any point of time. I firmly believe that, spiritual knowledge and mantra initiations cannot be sold for a price. They are not commodities. They are priceless and if price is determined and paid, it affects both the initiator and the initiated seriously. However, mantra initiation cannot be done to someone, whose face is not known. Mantra initiation is not just sending a mail or initiating over phone. The power of mantra needs to be transferred to the aspirant in the form of a seed, which the aspirant has to nurture and infuse potency to get the best possible results. Results are always not the same for everyone. It purely depends upon one’s faith and sādhana (practice). Personally, I do not encourage aspirants to spend much time in lengthy rituals as I sincerely believe that one should attain liberation in this birth itself." Here, some interesting things are imparted. One of these is that you must not pay for services rendered; it is the guru's dharma and your own karma that allow you to receive diksha in the first place. Wealth is to be offered to the guru of the shishya's own volition, never as a condition, because grace is not a transaction. Even 16th century Europeans realised this is wrong, that you should not pay some spiritual authority to wash away your sins. Secondly, notice how matter-of-factly it is spoken about online initiations and about the lack of ritual. This is the power of a parampara. It is grace from God, coming through the guru, directly entering the disciple as channeled by the specific mental vibrations the disciple is taught to emit and which produce objective effects in the gross and subtle planes (japa). If you look upon any tantric teaching, especially those on this site written by Raviji, you will notice there is great emphasis placed on the sounds themselves. For example, "aum namah shivaya", a is this, u is that, m is something else, and so on and so forth until pages upon pages are filled by letter-by-letter analysis of an apparently simple 3 word mantra. This is used as a way of transmitting things, planting the seed and giving it a direction for it to bloom through the subconscious mind, but also because certain combinations of vibrations are inherently sacred and they work without you needing to chant while you're doing very specific poses in front of overengineered yantras after hours of ritual preparation. This is the power of grace, and it is not "fake it till you make it", by this I mean it does not come in reverse order - you cannot act as if you are graced to obtain grace. Someone was asking here in these comments if he can still do sadhana if he smokes cigarettes and eats meat and masturbates. These are undesirable things to be removed, of course, and you should not fall into animalistic lethargy, but you do not remove these things: they are removed from you. Because if you do sadhana, all the latent consciousness modern life suppresses within an individual will push you in certain ways and to do certain things. But this miracle of God can only come through authentic guru tattva, and everything becomes so simple in that moment when you start acting out of serenity. I have been gifted glimpses at this by my teacher, and this is exactly the place where I speak: a seeker who found his way to peek at joy and who cannot comprehend how we twist it to be so complicated.

Luke 17:11–19 (NIV) Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!” When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed. One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him — and he was a Samaritan. Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”
