The Three Precious Gems

Tradition holds that a spiritual aspirant should equip oneself with three powerful aids so as to progress effortlessly in the Inner Journey to True Spiritual Perfection.

They are:

1. A Sastra (Scriptural Text) 2. A Stotra (a Prayer of Adoration) 3. A Mantra (Japa = incantation)

Usually, the Hindus hold on to “Srimad Bhagavad Gita” as the “Sastra” — the “Vishnu Sahasranama”, “Lalita Sahasranama”, “Siva Puranam”, as “Stotra” and “Om Namo Narayanaya”, “Om Namassivaya”, “Om Sri Ram Jai Ram, Jai Jai Ram”, “Harey Rama Harey Rama, Rama Rama Harey Harey”, as the “Japa” !

It will be made more clear when specific examples of the above three important aids, as they had powerfully helped Pundit T.K.Sundaresa Iyer — an important Old Devotee of Sri Bhagavan.
