Inappropriate Use of Mantras
We have already been through the set of rules related to vedic mantras. We have also seen how the inappropriate use of these mantras is common in current times due to such propagation by new gurus, reformist gurus, astrologers, or in the name of “equality” that comes due to lack of understanding of the basic principles of sanatana dharma.
These mantras have the power of an atom bomb. If used without caution they can destroy our health, mind and social/familial peace and well-being. Today, even those who do have faith in Bhagavan are sick due to faulty use of mantras.
Followers of several, who advise mantras inappropriately, are destroyed by their power. Just like there are many people who have been made patients by doctors, or those who have been made poor by lawyers.
Many such damaged people come for help to Pujyapad Puri Shankaracharyaji to undo the bad impact of chanting wrong mantras.
Mantras are also inappropriately played out on loudspeakers at temples nowadays. This is detrimental to the physical and mental health of those chanting and those listening.
Misuse of Mantras
Good food will effect us in a good way and wrong food will effect us in a bad way. Similarly, if water is dirty or full of minerals, it will influence our body differently. Mantras contain power. They can be used in a good way, or to create destruction.
Some use the power of mantras for killing, controlling and destroying others.
Sri Abhinavaguptaji, debated on the shastras with Bhagavatpada Adi Shankaracharyaji, and hence, he had to live as a student. He applied to use of mantras on Bhagavatpada Adi Shankaracharyaji, who developed the problem of piles due to its power. Then, Sri Padmapadacharyaji healed him via other mantras and saved Bhagavatpada Adi Shankaracharyaji.
Sometimes we maybe mistaken that someone has applied the dark power of mantras on us, but at times there could be such use of mantra on us that would impact our life badly.
