Normal person doesn’t know about poorva janamsamskara and also present janama adhikara. Normally when he sees some one like his friends ,relatives etc practicing mantra japa, and also reading the merits of different sadhana in books available in market or any other media, he gets attracted and starts practicing mantra japa. But his mind will be always in doubtswether he is in correct path or not ? He also may be thinking wether this works and gives siddhis .This kind of thought process will never give positive results. Then he may be attracted to other mantras that he think is superior than the previous . Like this he never complete his sadhana and always will be jumping one to other and never can accomplish his goal in mantra sadhana. To get result in mantra sadhana you should have strong belief. To get the strong belief and the systematic approach you should get Deeksha from traditional Guru parampara and well educated practioners.
