dīkṣā-mantra

dīkṣā-mantra
the mantras given by the guru at the time of initiation. These mantras include the mahā-mantra, brahmā-gāyatrī, guru-mantra, guru-gāyatrī, gaura-mantra, gaura-gāyatrī, gopāla-mantra, and kāma-gāyatrī. The guru’s internal mood of service to Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa is transmitted through the medium of these mantras. This is indicated in the following verse from Bhakti-sandarbha (Anuccheda 237):
yo mantraḥ sa guruḥ sākṣāt
yo guruḥ sa hariḥ svayam |
gurur yasya bhavet tuṣṭas
tasya tuṣṭo hariḥ svayam ||
“The mantra (which is given by the guru) is itself the guru, and the guru is directly the Supreme Lord Hari. He with whom the spiritual master is pleased also obtains the pleasure of Śrī Hari Himself.”
These mantras are invested with divya-jñāna, or transcendental knowledge of Kṛṣṇa’s form and one’s specific relationship with Him see dīkṣā
