Namaste
Sri vaishnavas believe in what they call "the three secrets":
1)Ashtakshara (Thirumanthra)= Om Namo Narayanaya
2)Dwaya Manthra= SRIMAN NARAYANA CHARANAU SARANAM PRAPADYE
SRIMATE NARAYANAYA NAMAHA
3)Charma Sloka= SARVA DHARMAN PARITHYAJYA MAAM EKAM SARANAM VRAJA
AHAM THVA SARVA PAAPEPBHYO MOKSHAYISHYAMI MAASUCHAHA(Bhagavad-gita 18.66)
My question is if I may recite the Ashtakshara and the Dwaya Manthra (using my japa-mala of tulasi) without initiation from a Sri vaishnava acharya
Pranama and sorry for my limited english
