Why would we want to chant a mantra if our goal of life was not spiritual? Most prayers, worship offered to God was not accepted by him… how could we assess that chanting a mantra would prove beneficial! In West most did not chant any mantra ever but were totally successful in different walks of life.
Mantras must be chanted only if we knew their inherent underlying meaning!
In spiritual pursuit of life, in search of God I came across many mantras but whenever I asked the Jain Muni or the Swami, meaning of the same… all were blank! Slowly by hit and trial method I made my own mantras, rather discovered the age-old mantras.
To cut across shackles of Prarabdha karma, I unveiled the mantra for Prarabdha karma! It took more than 15 years before I came to know this mantra. To practice physical aspect of celibacy (Brahmacharya Vrata) I evolved my own celibacy mantra. As the results started pouring in, I knew I was right in my premise!
We must never try to mix path of spirituality with physical manifest life! If we desire knowing our true inner self residing in our heart… only after certain stage on path of pure spirituality we would require the requisite mantras, never before! I have observed people ritually chanting mantras for years without getting any results. Why indulge when the end result was almost zero.
Born in a Jain family I chanted namokar mantra only after knowing its true meaning. http://www.godrealized.org/navkar_mantra_in_jainism.html
