It is best not to chant any mantra by just picking it up on the internet. You should receive the mantra that is appropriate to you from a person who has knowledge of mantra sastra and will take responsibility for you- AKA a Guru. It is too risky to do otherwise- it would be like taking just any medicine from a medical shop for an unknown illness.

A knife can be used to cut vegetables or for stabbing people. Mantras are like that. Vedic or tantric does not make a difference. The person using it does. Brahmastra also is Vedic. Vedic mantras are from the Veda, Puranic ones from Purana and Tantrik ones from Tantra(broadly speaking). Most people with a Guru may be empowered to use some from each of them. They are all part of the tradition of Sanatana Dharma. There are lots of other intricacies about using each mantra which need to be learned from a Guru. Websites are most unreliable.

Without a proper Guru, do not take on any bija mantra for yourself. There are may rules and Gurus do not give you the mantra at random. It depends on the person(sishya), the parampara etc..

If anyone tells you true Gurus dont exist in this day and age, they are wrong. Prayer and hard work in searching can take you to the right person.

Seed or beej mantras available in various websites are not the same as i found in the vedic scriptures. Recently i got hold of an ancient vedic book (huge one with 1500 pages) where the tantric mantras for planets are entirely different from those that are available in various websites. Thought that this vedic guide is more authentic, so presently chanting those from this vedic book.
