‘Om guruve namah’ —
This is beautiful! I first got acquainted with these mantras through ISKCON and usually chanted anytime and as it appeared in my mind. Interestingly before Mars transit in Krittika, I received a ‘cosmic signal’ or my intuition that kept bringing back Mars and all things about Mars. It was only after the fact I became aware of Mars transit next month in my second house. I will stay grateful forever for these mantras touching my life and enlightening me. Thank you for this article.
