Are you disheartened, eh?
Many mails are pouring in my inbox after the rejection of their initiation request from Om Swamiji as they have not met Him in person. It is true that we all feel low when our request is declined. We all adore Him and want to be initiated by Him or wish to be jumped at higher level of initiation.
It is the need of the hour that we must understand that initiation means connecting a bond with the lineage which means leading a disciplined life. It is the responsibility not the leisure or fun. Ask yourself what responsibility you are ready to take for the welfare of the society and for the self-transformation. If you can do even minor changes in your lifestyle, you will be amazed that the lineage blesses you with the immense power and success in any and all endeavors of your life - materialistic as well as spiritual.
I would recommend some minor changes. They are as follows:
A. Just before sleeping and soon after waking up chant any of the following mantra just for 5 minutes. Please pick one and then daily chant it. Also bow down to Om Swamiji.
1. Navarana Mantra in Sadhana App (It will connect you with Mother Divine)
2. Siddha Surya Mantra in Sadhana App (It will connect you with the lineage)
3. ॐ सर्वमंगल मांगल्ये शिवे सर्वार्थसाधिके।
शरण्ये त्रयम्बके गौरी नारायणी नमोस्तुते।।
(Om Sarva Mangal Mangalye Shive Sarvartha Sadhike.
Sharanye Trymbake Gauri Narayani Namoastutte.) in Black Lotus App (It will connect you with Om Swamiji)
B. You can chant the same mantra while doing daily chores, walking, waiting for somebody, while travelling etc. The more you chant the mantra the more connected you will be with Om Swamiji.
C. If you are strongly determined for the initiation then the recommendation is that you must start using Sadhana App for Japa, Nitya Pooja, Abhishekam, Yajna and Sadhana. You will find that there is a Leader Board in the App which show the 100 names of the topmost performers for the Japa, Nitya Pooja, Abhishekam, Yajna and Sadhana respectively. Are you really serious? Then work hard so that your name is reflected in the top 10 names not 100. With my experience, I could say that He keeps a keen track on each and every person’s progress in the Sadhana App as well as in the Black Lotus App.
D. Daily do at least one Random Act of Kindness in Black Lotus App.
It is time to work hard and not to cry over the spilt milk.
Jai Sri Hari ma'am, Thank you so much for writing such an encouraging article. I heard Swami ji saying once that once I initiate someone, I always keep my connect with them. And it is very very rare if someone can find a God-realized Guru in his lifetime. Thank you for showing the path.
