Clearly Lord Krishna says in Bhagvad Gita that among all mantras I am gayatri.....Show me one scripture directly spoken by GOD prohibits us from chanting any Mantra....or Mantra chanting is sinfull????...WHAT CAN REALLY GO WRONG IN CHANTING GODS NAME??? Use your intelligence in what seems right... I think not to chant Gayatri is pure speculation created by us.

Then why should there be rrestrictions as to whom and when to be recited. If the mantras are intended to be kept secret, why they were revealed out. There is no point in arguing that only certain persons alone should recite a mantra. It is only cheating or on the otherhand it is only selfishness.Let us take an example if a teacher doesn't teach students the lessons intendd for the First standard then how can the children get enlightened and how they will go to the next higher standaed. In such a way the mantras are for the uplift of human community and either if it is forbidden to anyone or if it is not taught the very purpose of mantra is itself defeated. So mantras have to be revealed to everybody and the benefit should serve the people, otherwise it is only foolishness or selfishness to create rrestrictions as to its use and recital. A car is devised not to keep it idle but people should be permitted to ride on it otherwise the very purpose of devising a car is itself defeated. Therefore mantras are for entire humanity and not only for certain sects.To know and understand this one should not search vedhas, puranas etc it is simple logic.Some mantras are for doing harm for others, I completely endorse this view. In that case those mantras are to be taught for eligible persons only. The teacher or guru should take a stand that these harmful mantras are to be taught to persons who are capable of controlling their feelings and they are well deserved to be taught so that no harm will be caused to anybody unless and otherwise these harmful mantras to be utilised.

Ashutoshji said that all prohibitions on chanting of Gayatri were made by humans and that sincerity in prayer is the only necessity. Your statement that God would tolerate everything as long as it is sincere seems to be founded by mortals too-MORTALS LIKE YOU ASHUTOSHJI. Sincerity is not the only factor in worship. Obedience to rules also count. The Hunter who sincerely offered meat to Lord Shiva was only blessed because he was ignorant. If a Priest who knows the rules did the same offence, Lord Shiva would have probably burnt him. D.K.M. Kartha stated wonderfully that we do not need many mantras to attain spiritual advancement. 2-"In Bhagavad Gita, Krishna says that he is Gayatri among mantras." So?? In the same chapter, he also famously says that he is the gambler among gamblers. Does this mean we should all gamble?? Remember that the entire mahabharatha revolves around the sin of gambling. This use of faulty and weak logic disgusts me. IN SUM, FOLLOW THE RULES. DO WHAT IS EXPECTED OF YOU. YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY RIGHT TO ALTER TRADITIONS. YOU ARE NOT AN AUTHORITY FOR YOURSELF. HUMBLY ACCEPT THE COMMANDS OF VEDAS AND TRADITIONS. HINDUISM IS BEING DESTROYED TODAY BECAUSE EVERYONE WANTS TO INFUSE WESTERN IDEAS OF EGALITARIANISM INTO IT. NOBODY WANTS TO OBEY RULES. HOW DISGUSTING? MAY GOD SHOW YOU THE WAY HE SHOWED ME. THE TRUE WAY IS THE ORTHODOX WAY. I find it very irritating that people use two arguments over and over again:
