Two questions:
-Did you trust the mantra enough to use it continuously for sadhana?
-Had you ever, consciously or subconsciously (as in eye-scanning a
book with mantras in it, etc.) encountered the specific mantra given
before?
I've had a number of profound "TM pantheon" experiences and consider
all of them illusory manifestations ("stress release", "nyams" in
Tibetan).
