I practice Advatia Vedanta and Learn from Ramakrishna Mission materials online books etc and occasionally I'll travel to their Ashram several hours away for special events. Because I don't live in the area of the Ashram or anywhere near it the Swami's don't consider me part of their community and they have no interest in helping me learn dharma.

I have deep devotion to Durga and I go to Durga Puja every year for Navrati at home I have a murti that I offer clothes on and I perform arti of an evening. I have no access to a Guru can I still perform japa of Durga and if so what mantra can be used without initiation ? In Ramakrishna mission you usually request mantra diksha and eventually a group of individuals receive a mantra (individually) I get declined because I don't live near the ashram.

What can I do ?

With all the hype in the media and on social media about one nation, what are the actual possibilities of one nation winning government at the next election. ?

At the last election The combined vote of Gen Z and Millennials outweighed the boomer vote the boomer vote usually swings to Labor and Liberal between different Electorates. I don't think Gen Z and Millennials would join one nation on a large scale but I could be wrong. ?

Aside from a few with fragile masculinity problems and ultra conservative boomers, who are the people that are going to vote for one nation on a large scale ?

How much of this hype is pure rage bait.
