I am forever indebted to Sri Guruji. Even I am the most unfit person on the planet for Sadhana, Sri Guruji initiated me in the highest Mantra. Sri Guruji initiated me directly into Maha Shodashi Mantra in September 2014 over telephone. The experience of initiation was so intense, that I can't forget it in lifetimes to come. I discontinued the Mantra Japa in March 2016 due to a series of circumstances that lead me to take this wrong decision. However, when circumstances became favorable, I re-started doing Japa from April 2023. I contacted Sri Guruji and he guided me to contact Mr. Jayanth as Guruji's health was not good those days. In June 2023, I got a chance to visit Chennai for my exam. I asked Ravi ji, if I can meet him in person and Guruji agreed. I was so excited to meet Guruji in person for the first time in my life. When I finished my exam in Chennai, I contacted Guruji to meet him in person but Guruji said that he is not doing well Healthwise and we can communicate over video call. When I came back to Delhi, I had a video call with Guruji which was no less than a face to face experience. When I went to Chennai, I bought a pair of Padukas (Sandals) and wanted Guruji to wear them once, so that I can bring them back to my home and keep them as representation of Guruji. I told him about this on video call and Guruji asked me to hold the Padukas in certain way. Guruji did something (which I don't know) but I closed my eyes in reverence. Then Guruji told me that I can now use them. What I think is that Guruji granted my wish and wore those Padukas through his Subtle body. I keep those Padukas in my worship area and pray to them as if I am praying to Guruji himself. Those Padukas are dear to me as the Padukas of Lord Rama were dear to Bharat. I have not made any noticeable spiritual progress till date even after having the best Guru, the best Mantra and the best Guru Lineage in the World. I plead my Guruji and the Guru Parampara for forgiveness for being the black dot in the shining lineage. I learnt about the physical demise of Guruji this Guru Purnima, when I wished Guruji for Guru Poornima over the email. The chances in spiritual progress for a sinner like me were very low already and it now gets more thinner with Guruji's absence. Guruji never asked for any Guru Dakshina and even if he had asked for it, what can I give to him when he is already complete in all senses. Although I am useless, I still request Krishna ji, Santosh ji, Jayanth ji etc. to let me know if I can be of any use to the Manblunder cause. Jai Sri Mata.

paṁ paramātmane namaḥ what does it mean?. Is paṁ the beeja mantra for paramatma?. What does paṁ means?

Where i can get the meaning of entire Rakshoghna Mantra? Thanks

You can chant the kavacam after obtaining an initiation of this mantra from a practicing guru.

The dhyāna śloka has been explained in this article. If you are looking for meaning of each individual words, then I would recommend that you go through Mantra Mahodadhih by Shri Ram Kumar Rai. You may find more details there. You can also lookup a Sanskrit dictionary for the literal meaning of each word. You would need to split some sandhis here and there. We have not adopted the approach of splitting each work of the ślokas and providing their meaning for the mantra japa articles.

Do I have to chant the trailokya mangalam kavach before doing japa of hreem?

Sir, do I have to chant the kavach first before this?

Hello sir- I have been trying to find the actual meaning for the given dhyana slokam. I was able derive the first line meaning but not the second line - from “karairdhadhanam saraseru hastham “ - how do we need to interpret this part?

Thank you sir !

You can remove 'oṃ' in the nyāsas for this base variation of the mantra. In retrospect, it should not have been added in the first place. I practiced it in that manner and hence included it as such.
