Every new spiritual aspirant’s dream is to get mantra deeksha. Meaning, their Guru initiates them into some specific mantra, which they chant, and then get magical superpowers, levitation and stuff!
Although these may be popularized in various tales, none of this is necessary, nor sufficient, for the true goal, ie moksha.
Here’s what Swami Sivananda ji says in his outstanding book called “Bliss Divine”:
Initiation does not mean reciting a Mantra into another's ears. If Rama is influenced by the thoughts of Krishna, the former has got initiation already from the latter. If an aspirant treads the path of truth after studying the books written by a saint, and imbibes his teachings, that saint has already become his Guru.
