AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER

I chant 2-3 mantras like Gayatri, Mrityunjaya, etc., daily. Is this correct, or should I stick to just one mantra? Which one is more effective? Please guide me based on your knowledge of mantra shastra🙏

It is not the mind but the heart that chooses the mantra. In fact it is not we who choose the mantra but the Divine who puts the mantra in our heart that corresponds to our true aspiration and the aspect we are drawn towards. The mantra must spring from the heart and then seize the brain and move our life. Until then one can pick up the mantra with which one feels some kind of an inner affinity.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
