Gurunathar’s Divine Message Ashwini Pooja 13-10-2011
There was a good question asked,”Which is the best method of worship? Which is better: mantra or tantra?” I would like to answer this question. There are three ways of worship. To visualize God in your mind and worship Him supersedes the mantric or tantric ways of worship. I have mentioned before that the inner chanting of mantra is the best method. Next to this is tantric pooja. This consists of saying mantras to yourself and making the corresponding mudras with your hands. Third is that of chanting mantras. The second is a little difficult. And if the mudras are done even a little inaccurately, the benefit will lessen accordingly. So it is best to start with chanting mantras, then progress to tantra and finally to mental worship.
