The Name- Glorification 349

[Rammohan G]

THE THIRD OFFENSE is to minimize or blaspheme the order of the spiritual master. The spiritual master gives the holy name. Sampradaya-vihina ye mantras te nisphala matah. Unless you receive the mantra from the spiritual master in sampradaya, it will not have effect. One reason that I chant japa with my disciples each morning is to emphasize the connection between chanting and receiving the mantra from the spiritual master. Unless we have received the mantra in sampradaya it will not have effect. Then only can you receive the authority to chant the holy names of the Lord.
