Mantra Deeksha when you can't find a Guru

A lot of conversations revealed people's helplessness and confusions on about how to start a spiritual life and sadhna of their interest without a Guru. Let's see how a Guru makes an impact in one's life.

Seeking gnyaan from a Shidha guru makes a strong impact in one's life. When a guru checks the eligibility of the seeker and educates him, the seekers life would start to bloom like a padma(Lotus). Guru Upadesha is very important in ones life.

Every praani (living Being) is equally eligible to get this gnyaan depending upon how strong his virtues and will power is to attain the Para Bhraman. Guru's grace is Eeshwar Icha ( Bhraman's Will ). There would be number of tests of our patience on the path of spirituality.

God's & Guru's don't come to us just like that. We have to start meditating and initiate an aura to connect with them. We have to connect with them by starting to do any kind of japa or sadhna.

What does a Guru Actually Do?

Gurus when they give us a Mantra, they do the upadesha and also transfer some sidhi shakti from their own sadhna, which further when continued by us gives us speedy benefits. It is always recommended to get a Guru in a Human form for this reason.

Attaining Sidhi all alone is very challenging unless one does severe sadhna. Once a seeker gets a mantra from Guru, a procedure called Purascharana is supposed to be done to attain mantra sidhi. Purascharana is a severe procedure which has many recommendations to follow.

One must try a lot to attain a guru. He should try different ways roam seek and then if he can't attain it, then there is a recommended procedure to start your spiritual sadhna with adiguru. This procedure doesn't say that you would never get a guru in human form in future.

This procedure is infact for ones to really attract the blessings of a guru and who are unable to find a one. During this procedure one may be blessed with a Guru. Based on the willpower and dedication he would be given guidance by God himself.

There would be some set of people, who would have mantra sidhi through dreams and meditative visions from Devi, Devtas, Gurus etc. This is rarest of rare cases. As per shastras It is always recommended to find a Guru in human form but, if he can't find any they can do this.

As per Meru Tantra ( Tantra Revealed by Shiva Himself when the Devtas were rescued from a rakshasa Jalandhar )

If a person, after many efforts cant find a guru and wants to start with sadhna with extreme willpower and good will they can initiate their sadhna with Eeshwar.

As per shakta tradition, one should choose a TRAYODASHI Tithi during a Shukla Paksha ( The Waxing Phase of Moon ) and choose a shiv temple having Shree Dakshinamurthy murthy and start the initiation process. A kalash sthapana / puja of the Dakshinamurthy should be done.

One must write the Mantra which they want to do sadhna of on a Bhorja Patra or Tala Patra and place it near to Dakshinamurthy and start chanting it for 108 times after the basic Shodasa puja of the lord. This symbolizes deeksha directly attained from Shree Dakshinamurthy

Since there would be issues to find a selfless guru without any lobh( greed) in him, shiva uvacha says accepting Dakshinamurthy as adiguru is best. No mantra will work when chanted by just seeing a book. Mantra deeksha from either guru or adiguru Dakshinamurthy only will work.

Mantras which fall under vaidika maryada can be initiated by this process. However it is believed that when a man starts his journey this way, god guides the seeker to reach right guru or sends someone into their life seeing the dedication.

A seeker should use this process to take mantra deeksha for Nishkaama mantra phala, and not to harm anyone in life. During later stages if they opportunity to meet the guru they should again get the upadesha from the guru.

Guru is the ultimate 🙏🏼
