Why must one take Mantra- Diksha?

Lord Krishna says in Srimad Bhagwad Gita, ‘Among yajnas, I am japa yajna’

Lord Rama says in Sri Ram Charit Manas ,

‘japa of My mantra and unwavering faith in Me this is the fifth Bhakti enunciated by the Vedas

So, various scriptures have pronounced the magnificent glory of japa mantra. But if the mantra is received from a God realized Satguru, its effect is infinitely greater. Saint kabirji says,

‘kabir says, the merit of coming into the tutelage of a Satguru is infinite.’

The confluence of the twin streams the Satguru’s grace and the disciple’s faith-is Diksha. Lord Shiva made Ma parvatiji to get Diksha from the Self-realized saint, Vamdevji. Ma kali told Sri Ramakrishna paramhansa to take Diksha from God-realized Satguru Sri Totapuriji maharaj. Lord Vitthal told Namdevji to take Diksha from the God-realized saint Sri visoba khechar Lotd Rama and Lord Krishna too, when they incarnated themselves, went into the tutelage of satguru. So, there is immense merit in taking Diksha from God realized Satguru.
