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

Original question asked in Hindi: मैं प्रतिदिन गायत्री, मृत्यंजय आदि 2-3 मंत्रों का जाप करता हूं। क्या ये सही है या मुझे सिर्फ किसी एक मंत्र का जाप करना चाहिए. कौन सा अधिक प्रभावी है? कृपया मंत्र शास्त्र के अपने ज्ञान के आधार पर मेरा मार्गदर्शन करें।

My niece who is 12 yrs old doesn’t like sharing😥. If she takes her favorite food to school and her friends ask her to share, she doesn’t give or gives a very small piece. If by chance she happens to share a chocolate with girls she doesn’t like, she wants to snatch it away. She is attached to Krishna, and only thing that pacifies her is when we tell her that Krishna likes if she shares what He has given her. She says “I know it’s bad, i know it’s a devil that says this, but I can’t overpower it. It tells me that those girls did bad and said bad things about you, instead of that you shared your things, now you go steal something from them. Or I keep thinking what will I get if I give them”..[conti]
