Pl clarify. Is initiation is a must?

Dear Sri
Kannan:
Dhvayam is one of the three esoteric
manthrams
for Sri VaishNavAs , which MUST
be recieved as upadEsam
from an AchAryan , who initates one
into Vaishanava fold
( assembly) . Just reading about
this manthram and its
meaning is not enough to have the
Phalan of this
Manthram
.
This manthram was revealed
by the Lord to Sri Devi in
Sri Vaikuntam ( PaancharAthra
Saasthram)
and has come to us thru AchArya
Paramparai
starting from the Lord as
PrathamAchAryan .
The name Dhvayam arises from the
fact that two topics -- the means (UpAyam)
and Phalan-- are covered by this
Manthram . One who is qualified to
recite this manthram is
that person , who has no attachment to any other
UpAyam and Phalan ( Moksham thru the
practise of SaraNAgathy).
Here Performance of SaraNAgathy is
the UpAyam and MOksham
is the phalan of that SaraNAgathy.
AshtAksharam deals succinctly with
the UpAyam and Phalan .
Dhvaya mantram elaborates on
that succinct message of AshtAkshara
Manthram . Our Lord created from
the Sruthi , Katavalli by uniting two parts of
that Vedic Text and inserting
additional words to
realize the Dhvaya
Mantram in the form in
whcih we recieve it from our AchAryaas
for Moksha phalan . The main point
to remember by any one seeking
Moksham is that there is no Moksha
Saadhanam ( way to gain Moksham)
than the recitation of the Dhvaya
Manthram recieved from one's
AchAryan.
Please seek a SadaachAryan of your
choice and recieve upadEsam
from him thru the sacred rites of
SamAsrayaNam .
