Yes, karma is the ultimate. But we do not know that everything is happening due to karma of the past births. We also accrue karma in this birth. Karmas of this birth can be eradicated through faith and devotion. As far as spiritual path is concerned, faith, dedication and perseverance are very important. Yes, faith and devotion will surely change anything today, provided it is outside the ambit of karmas of previous births.

thank you sir. But, When it is said that Karma is the ultimate truth, how these mantras help or should we take this literally or can we hope for miracles to override karmas. Also, history says in the narration of kalidasa story, where an illiterate becomes a great poet due to divine grace of kali. Can faith and devotion rechange anything even today too?

Yes Ravi Sir, it was from Kanchi Paramacharya only. Paramacharya blessed a devotee, who was suffering from Cancer with the above Sloka. Chanting the above Sloka with devotion for 108, 32 or 16 times a day for a period of 45 days by those suffering from chronic illness would be cured of their illness by the divine blessings of Lord Guruvayoorappan.Thank you.Narasa Raju

If I remember correct, this is has been said Kanchipuram Śaṃkarācārya, respectfully addressed as Maha Periava (the great man).

can this mantra cure any chronic disease. if chanted with utmost faith

I have replaced the yantra image now. Thank you for pointing out this.

Praṇāma Ravi Sir; there's a picture above at - IV. Śrī Mahāgaṇapati pūjā - which seems to denote a warning sign (consisting of an exclamation mark [!] inside a triangle). Point is, I wonder if it's indicative of corrupt image or is this indeed the actual picture.

This is not to be included under personal experience category. This is not about experience but, explanation. Munis, Sages and Saints explicated well about Brahman only through their experience. Even Upanishads are considered as direct revelations from divine. Veda Vani, came from beings who did not have dwaitha bhava and they continue to be in their body only to teach and preach what they experienced. Explanation is unique for each and every one and the realized path is also different. Why is yoga explained in Gita as four different paths? Capacity and taste varies from person to person. So path is different, sadhana is different and experience is also unique. Stages of spiritual awakening and consequent realization of Brahman varies from person to person till one reaches the final realization, where there is nothing to speak eventually. Explanations will vary as no descriptions can explain Brahman as it remains inexplicable or the described is not Brahman (neti, neti), That never mean one cannot have a right to explain the sat, chit ananda state they experienced in their path of realization. This is the only evidence in the world, that Brahman is not a myth. It is an out of body experience. No one can say that he or she is realized, as there will be no traces of realization. There will be traces of maya still existing in a realized person. The reality is one's own experience. What is wrong in sharing with others? It will certainly be an inspiration for normal ignorant people like me, than the scholars who are minority. Kundalini is the power bank of cosmos which is stored as dormant energy in every human being. Once he transcends and crosses the spectrum of light through sushumna, he is enthralled by divine grace. Brahman is kundalini itself, may be it is feminine or masculine. This does not matter. What is wrong in saying that one is realized in this life? Knowing from one's personal experience is more authentic than textual explanations. Krishna said it is the easiest way. No doubt remains at the end, as the realization is not only mental but physical too; it encompasses both physical and mental sheaths.
