MANTRA YOGA by Shivananda

1. Mantra Yoga is an exact science. `Mananat trayate iti mantrah'—by

the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is

released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra.

2. Every Mantra has a Rishi who gave it to the world; a Matra or

metre which governs the inflection of the voice; a Devata or a

supernatural being; the Bija or seed which gives it a special power;

the Sakti or the energy of the form of the Mantra; and the Kilakam or

the pillar which supports and makes the Mantra strong.

3. A Mantra is Divinity, Mantra and its presiding Devata are one. The

Mantra itself is Devata. Mantra is divine power, Daivi Sakti,

manifesting in a sound-body. Constant repetition of the Mantra with

faith, devotion and purity augments the Sakti or power of the

aspirant, purifies and awakens the Mantra Chaitanya latent in the

Mantra and bestows on the Sadhaka Mantra Siddhi,illumination,

freedom, peace, eternal bliss, immortality.

4. By constant repetition of the Mantra the Sadhaka imbibes the

virtues and powers of the Deity that presides over the Mantra.

Repetition of Surya Mantra bestows health, long life, vigour,

vitality,Tejas or brilliance. It removes all diseases of the body and

the diseases of the eye. No enemy can do any harm. Repetition of

Aditya-hridayam in the early morning is highly beneficial. Lord

Rama conquered Ravana through the repetition of Aditya-hridayam

imparted by Agastya Rishi.

5. Mantras are in the form of praise and appeal to the deities,

craving for help and mercy. Some Mantras control and command the evil

spirits. Rhythmical vibrations of sound give rise to forms.

Recitation of the Mantras gives rise to the formation of the

particular figure of the deity.

6. Repetition of Sarasvati Mantra `OM Sarasvatyai Namah' will bestow

on you wisdom and good intelligence. You will get inspiration and

compose poems. Repetition of `Om Sri Mahalakshmyai Namah' will confer

on you wealth and remove poverty. Ganesha Mantra will remove any

obstacle in any undertaking. Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra will remove

accidents,incurable diseases and bestow long life and immortality. It

is a Moksha Mantra too.

7. Repetition of Subrahmanya Mantra `Om Saravanabhavaya Namah' will

give success in any undertaking and make you glorious. It will drive

off the evil influences and evil spirits.Repetition of Sri Hanuman

Mantra, `Om Hanumanthaya Namah' will bestow victory and strength.

Repetition of Panchadasakshara and Sodasakshara (Sri Vidya) will give

you wealth,power, freedom, etc. It will give you whatever you want.

You must learn this Vidya from a Guru alone.

8. Repetition of Gayatri or Pranava or Om Namah Sivaya, Om Namo

Narayanaya, Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya, one and a quarter lakh of

times with Bhava, faith and devotion will confer on you Mantra Siddhi.

9. OM, Soham, Sivoham, Aham Brahmasmi are Moksha Mantras. They will

help you to attain Self-realisation. Om Sri Ramaya Namah, Om Namo

Bhagavate Vasudevaya are Saguna Mantras which will enable you to

attain Saguna realisation first and then Nirguna realisation in

the end.

10. Mantra for curing scorpion stings and cobra bites should be

repeated on eclipse days for getting

Mantra Siddhi quickly. You should stand in the water and repeat the

Mantra. This is more powerful and effective. They can be recited on

ordinary days also for attaining Mantra-Siddhi.

11. Mantra Siddhi for curing scorpion sting, cobra bites, etc., can

be attained within 40 days. Repeat the Mantra with faith and devotion

regularly. Have sitting in the early morning after taking bath.

Observe Brahmacharya and live on milk and fruits for 40 days or take

restricted diet.

12. Chronic diseases can be cured by Mantras. Chanting of Mantras

generate potent spiritual waves or divine vibrations. They penetrate

the physical and astral bodies of the patients and remove

the root causes of sufferings. They fill the cells with pure Sattva

or divine energy. They destroy the microbes and vivify the cells and

tissues. They are best, most potent antiseptics and germicides. They

are more potent than ultra-violet rays or Roentgen rays.

13. Mantra Siddhi should not be misused for the destruction of

others. Those who misuse the Mantra power for destroying others are

themselves destroyed in the end.

14. Those who utilise the Mantra power in curing snake bites,

scorpion stings and chronic diseases should not accept any kind of

presents or money. They must be absolutely unselfish. They

should not accept even fruits or clothes. They will lose the power if

they utilise the power for selfish purposes. If they are absolutely

unselfish, if they serve the humanity with Sarvatma Bhava, their

power will increase through the grace of the Lord.

15. He who attained Mantra Siddhi can cure cobra bite or scorpion

sting or any chronic disease by mere touch on the affected part. When

a man is bitten by a cobra a telegram is sent to the Mantra

Siddha. The Mantra Siddha recites the Mantra and the man who is

bitten by a cobra is cured.What a grand marvel! Does this not prove

the tremendous power of Mantra?

16. Get the Mantra initiation from your Guru. Or pray to your Ishta

Devata and start doing Japa of the particular Mantra, if you find it

difficult to get a Guru.

17. May you all become Mantra Yogis with Mantra Siddhi! May you all

become real benefactors of the world by becoming divine healers

through Mantra cure! May Mantra cure, divine healing

centres be started all over the world!
