Peter (and anyone else), What's your take on the spectrum of possible positive/negative effects of using for japa the big, public, everyone-has-heard-this-innumberable-times type mantras without formal initiation? Mantras like the Gayatri or the Mahamrytunjaya, etc.? Understanding, of course, that one *could* receive initiation in their use but that these are mantras that one might listen to already in any number of different recordings. Already part of the chit.
