If we do Japa of a Mantra without understanding its meaning, or in a hurry, will it have any bad reaction on the person who does?
A. It cannot have any bad reaction but the spiritual progress will be slow when the Mantra is repeated in a hurryburry without Bhava or faith. Even when any Mantra is repeated unconsciously or hurriedly without Bhava, without understanding its meaning, it undoubtedly produces beneficial results, just as fire bums inflammable objects when they are brought near.
