The Taraṅgas (chapters) towards the end of Mantra Mahodadhi describe the procedures for determining the suitability of a mantra to an initiate. Yes, this mantra can be given to anyone that a guru considers to be eligible and the guru need not run through the various suitability checks, is what is mentioned as per the note you posted. There are also certain initiatory rites that may be skipped, but the actual initiation itself SHOULD NOT be skipped. You should also probe and investigate why the ṣoḍhā nyāsa and additional nyāsas are described in the same book, along with the pīṭha (pedestal) and āvaraṇa (coverings) pūja. I have been reciting this mantra along with the nyāsas for years now and haven't experienced any powers. A lot of good has happened to us and I have experienced success in many areas. The same has also been true for my family and those associated with me. I certainly bow down to the Divine Mother for Her grace and blessings showered upon all of us. My sincere advice is to try and find a suitable guru, who can assist you with the sadhana. Only when such a guru cannot be found and if the desire is still very strong, you may self-initiate with the steps mentioned on this site and elsewhere as well.

Please don't worry, For maa dakshina kali 22 syllable mantra you don't require any guru initiation or diksha... There is a text, a sacred text, dealing with all sorts of mantras, Tantric mantras included, called "The Mantramahodadhi of Mahidhara" where the mantra I am speaking about is presented. There must be thousands of mantras in that sacred text and only one is readily available to anyone.
Page 48, 3rd Taranga states, verse 2-5:
"There is no necessity for the purification by means of Siddha or Sadhya procedures. Nor is there necessity of taxing the mind too much or performing the Purascarana (initiatory rites). This is the queen of Mantras. By merely remembering this one gets the eight Supernatural powers."

Namaste Guruji, I have 2 questions, 1. Is it mandate to take headbath daily in order to recite Lalithasahasranamam? 2. My Father passed away 5 months back. Can we recite Lalithasahasranama in my parents house? Do I need to wait for 1 year to recite Lalithasahasranamam? Please answer, Thank you, Anjini

They are not the same. There is a variation in the kavaca (huṁ) and kūrca (hūṃ) bījas, as well as in the position of the bījas with respect to the word "mātaṅgyai". A change in the position of the bījas will make it a different mantra, even if all the bījas and words of the mantra remain the same. Any variation, makes it a different mantra.

Reciting the first time may work for siddhas and other holy persons. In fact, it may not even be required for accomplished gurus and sādhakas. But for most people like us, it is best to recite every time we take up the mantra japa recitation in full. If the mantra has become aligned with your breath and you are able to fall into deep sleep or meditation with it, then the mantra recitation itself is sufficient. Everything else can be omitted. But in general, it is best to follow the document in full. The tantras even describe pīṭha and āvaraṇa pūja as well. One way to look at it, is to perceive them as tools of tantra, that help to invoke the maximum potential of the mantra.

Namaste Krishnaji, I had a question on this and the other Shyamala mantras. Do we have to recite utkilana, sanjivana and shapavimocana mantras each time we do the mantra japam or only once when we start ? Thanks.

What I love most about Śrī Rāja Śyāmala is her irresistible attraction. Having her at our side facilitates the approach to any being in the universe. In fact, she is the power of attraction of Lalita, the most beautiful and playful of the three realms.

Your guru would have given the mantra with due consideration based on name, birth chart and not per your choice. So just chant what is given to you. There is no initiation for Siddhi mantra it is self initiation so no energy transfer per your question.
