Getting a Diksha without a Guru: Dakshinamurti Prayog

 One of the biggest problems we face in Kaliyug is lack of gurus or gurus that are not money-driven. That is why, I am sharing a special prayog to get diksha.

The prayog is dedicated to Lord Dakshinamurti. And it is said that the power of the diksha received through this method is even greater than getting a diksha from a human guru.

1. Do this prayog on a Shukla paksha Trayodashi at Nishakaal.

2. Sit on a red velvet aasan or a kushasan.

3. Light a diya and chant 1 mala of ganesh naam mantra.

4.Do namaskar of Lord Shiva in the shivling you have at home.

5. Write the mantra that you desire to get diksha of, on a bhojpatra or a piece of paper. The mantra should be written with yellow ink. At the store, you will get lekhani and ashtagandha. By adding a few drops of water you will be able to create yellow ink. If you dont get a large enough bhojpatra, tear a piece of an A4 paper. Ruled notebook page is not allowed because it has lines.

6. After this, chant 1 mala of Dakshinamurti gayatri and 1 mala gayatri mantra of the god you want a diksha of. Then, staring at the mantra itself while simultaneously meditating on Lord Dakshinamurti in the shivalinga, chant the mantra written on the bhojpatra for 108 times.

7. Then go to sleep. In your sleep if you see auspicious dreams, then it means that you have received the diksha. If you do not see any dreams or if you see inauspicious dreams then you wont get that mantra's diksha.

8. For sleeping, your head should be east side and you should sleep by turning on the right side. i.e. your eyes will be towards north direction.

That is it. Hope that using this one of a kind prayog, people get diksha of their desired mantra.

Some important points to consider:

• Sadhaks, you will always only get diksha of mantras that god knows you're capable of doing a sadhana of.
• Getting a diksha from a devta like Dakshinamurti doesn't relieve you of following procedures and rules necessary for your mantra.
• The easiest mantras to get diksha of, are of navagrahas. At the same time, they are the ones who give the fastest results, the most stable results while getting pleased with the least amount of puja.
• Only seek dikshas of mantra whose method you're capable of following.

Some recommended mantras for first time diksha:

1. Gayatri Mantra - A mantra whose diksha is given to everyone in Sanatana Dharma in other yugas. It is a siddha mantra that gives 360' benefits. If you havent received Gayatri diksha yet, this is the 1st mantra you should ask for.
2. Vishnu Ashtakshari Mantra - It is not a siddha mantra. The siddhi is achieved on 32 lakh chants. But it is a necessary sadhana for all vaishnavas.
3. Shiva Panchakshari Mantra - Like the above, a compulsory mantra for Shaivas capable of fulfilling all desires. Siddhi is achieved on 24 lakh chants. 
4. Navgraha Beej Mantras - They are the easiest to get a diksha of and you have the highest probability of getting a diksha of it. An energised yantra and panchopchar puja are mandatory without which the japa will not show results.
5. Kuber Mantra - For copious money, prosperity and all other material forms of wealth.
