Mantras: Why 99% Chant Wrong! Guru's Guidance Crucial for Safe Spiritual Progress

• Mantras possess immense power, but chanting without proper guidance, especially Bija mantras, can lead to negative results.
• A Guru's initiation imbues a mantra with 'Chaitanya', making it 'Siddha'; self-initiated powerful mantras can cause mental unease.
• Bija mantras ('Hreem', 'Shreem') are potent, affecting chakras, and require a Guru to avoid issues like headaches or irritability.
• Saguna mantras ('Om Namah Shivaya') are safest for common people, promoting peace and concentration without strict initiation.
• For those without a Guru, 'Namajapa' (chanting divine names) is the safest and most effective path for spiritual progress.

Why It Matters: Proper guidance, especially from a Guru, is essential for mantra chanting to avoid negative effects. 'Namajapa' is safest.
