Which mantras can be chanted without initiation?
Powerful mantras that can be chanted by everyone without initiation:
- Bhagavan Naam: The name of your ishta devata may be chanted without initiation. For example – Shivaye Namah, Krishna-Krishna, Durgaye Namah, Bhiaravaye Namaha, and so on.
- Ram mantra: The essence of ‘Rama’ is the same as that of Aum. The word ‘Rama’ contains the seed of fire (Agni), sun (Surya), moon (Chandra), as R-A-M. As per the Upanishads, both are Taraka Brahma (that which can free us from the cycle of birth and death). When you chant, pronounce with emphasis on “a” as “Raam”.

It has been given by Bhagavati Sita Mata and can be chanted by everyone. To increase the power of our intellect we must chant this 32 times in a day. We can also chant it 40 times a day for 40 days to strengthen the power of our mind.जनकसुता जग जननि जानकी। अतिसय प्रिय करुनानिधान की॥
ताके जुग पद कमल मनावउँ। जासु कृपाँ निरमल मति पावउँ॥4॥Janakasuta jaga janani janaki। Atisaya priya karunanidhana ki॥
Take juga pada kamala manavaum̐। Jasu krpam̐ niramala mati pavaum̐॥While there might be several more mantras that can be chanted without Guru diksha, the above should be very helpful to start with.
