Pradipada

Saket

Namaskaram. I've been practising panchdashi mantra and 3 akshari mantra without initiation through a youtube video made by guruji himself. I'll start the starter regime and start doing it formally. On the titthi of pradipada ( as I've heard it to be mothers titthi ) when i chanted the panchdashi mantra the experience used to be incredible. But i wouldn't get even a close experience on any other titthis. Same thing happens when I chant harekrishna mahamantra on ekadashi titthi. I yearn for the same experience everyday. Is it because I lack inititation that the mantra doesn't work fully and only reveals itself on certain titthis or is it something else. Please answer my query 🙏🙏. And thankyou 🙏🙏

One doesn't sit and judge their experiences during practice. Experiences mean little. The mind is always changing.

The experience I'm talking about sir is the internal feeling i used to get.

Certainly you see the hopelessness of trying to recreate past abstractions as based in specious propositions? Why don't you follow an actual path which has other students so you could then have something to agree about instead of always shooting in the dark by yourself.

Clearly this board is for members of the community who have some sense of devotion to the guru that the board is named after, it's not just spiritual pachinko for the few lucky gamblers who knock a lucky ball into the right slot by accident?!

I am just a chatter. I do not work for the board. But I will tell you this. If you are not a real student of Amritananda then what do you really hope to gain by this? We have a word for people like you. Window Shoppers. Don't know yourself well enough to find a system to practice. You spent your whole life comparing people's words and hoping someday to acheve something, and yet, how would that be possible when you are not a student of wisdom. Just a window shopper checking price tags and discounts.

an experience is useless if you cannot recreate it at will. I want to recreate it at will and go beyond that. I'm asking if taking initiation from guruji will help me with that.if someone cas answer than please do. And don't look down on people who are not initiated. "People like you" is a derogatory term. You don't know me and what my purpose is p. If im window shopping or intrested in serious sadhna or initiation. I am asking a question if you don't have an answer then don't give me a satsang. I think this forum was created for people who are trying to ask queries and navigate experiences. if anyone qualified or from the board can help then please

You would do better to do the beginners cycle here at Devipuram. Search for the Strter documents and get into the habit of them. They would be training you. The Sri Vidya training is like developing an integrated circuit of the Devi and then pushing kundalini into the circuit.

Just reciting a few mantras and getting a video empowerment is nice but certainly not a complete path. Fortunately there is a complete path here, if you search a bit more. And it's free, and still run by the wife and daughters of the Swami as well. Good job finding Swami Amrita. Now find his family too and the work they have done setting up a formidable path for newcomers.

The book above on tithis may or may not be useful to you. Lastly, the board doesn't give out little blue ribbons for qualification. Those who are qualified to answer all questions find themselves answering the same one question over and over because people do not know how to use the search function. That question is always, when is the beginner's course and how do I get on the list?

Otherwise, the official mods are not parading their 'qualifications.' So good luck with that.
