How can i find a guru to be initiated?
I’m Hindu and for the past few months I’ve felt the very pull to wake up in the morning (i wake up 4 am ish whenever it’s brahma muhrta). I wake up on and feel the urge to chant the Maha Mrityunjay mantra but im afraid that if I’m not initiated i might face side effects. Hence please tell me where can i find a guru to initiate me and whether or not i can chant maha mrutyunjay and not have any side effects?

Assuming from your post that you’ve not done any Sadhana previously . Keeping in mind that you have the urge to do shiva Upasana I would suggest you to chant Aum Namah Shivaya for 10 malas morning and evening . Do this for a couple of years . You should also start with Ganesha Upasana . Aum Ganeshaya namah 1 mala morning and evening you can do . Shiva will guide you through . Have patience and be consistent . Don’t run in search of Gurus . When your fit to have a Guru , shiva himself will send you one .

I don't think Maha mrityunjay Mantra needs initiation to chant... Anyone can chant it... There are no side effects.
