Dear Andy:

Rule of Thumb: Do not do any specific mantra without proper guidance
or if you do not feel comfortable. Mahamantras are exceptions.

Mahamantras: are universal mantras like Mahamrityunjaya and Gayatri
mantra and can be recited by anyone. Maha means great, because it is
considered the most powerful of all mantras, for it has the power to
elevate the most materially conditioned and sinful soul and
establish him in divine perfection.

Vedic Mantras are mantras prescribed in our oldest Four Vedas,
devoted recitation of these mantras or chanting them devotedly and
in prescribed manner, frees the person from all troubles and
miseries. Mind can he controlled by devotedly worshipping the God or
praying to HIM in his language of Vedic mantras. His holy
monosyllable is 'OM'.

It is His holy and divine word that should Be recited as its meaning
should be understood and well thought of this word 'OM' is very
comprehensive and represent Brahma, It is a Very powerful word. No
mantra can be formulated without His word. Vedic Mantras can be
analysed, measured or weighed; the result of there mantras are
visible.

Tantrik Mantras are performed through faith, the results of these
mantras can not be Analyzed, measured, weighed or seen but can be
felt. The persons who do not believe can not be satisfied unless
they feel themselves. And these tantrik mantras are to be recited as
per prescribed methods. One experience the sensation and Vibrations
during or at the end of Japa.

Aghor Mantras or Sabri Mantras In Tantrik Granths, there are many
Sabri Mantras in local languages, and are very effective. These are
otherwise known as AGHOR mantras.


Fire is believed to reduce all substances to their primal state of
purity. Hence, bhasma or ashes have always been considered as sacred
by certain sections of the hindu society, especially the saivas and
the saktas (followers of siva and sakti or the divine mother).

Bhasma derived from the vedic fires is called 'srauta-bhasma'. It is
to be taken out of the fire when the vedic ritual is in progress and
applied on the body. That derived from the fire lit up during a
ritual performed as per the directions of smrtis (secondary
scriptures like the dharmasastras) is called 'smarta-bhasma'. If the
fire is kindled by the aghora-mantra (a mantra describing the aghora
or non-fierce aspect of siva) with the wood of the bilva tree (aegle
marmelos), the ashes are called 'sivagni-bhasma'. This bhasma is
considered to be extremely sacred and capable of destroying sins as
also ritual impurities.

the five important Vedic mantras are represented by five faces, from
which the thirty-eight most celebrated Vedic mantras have been
generated. Your Lordship, being celebrated as Lord Siva, is self-
illuminated. You are directly situated as the supreme truth, known
as Paramatma.

The five mantras mentioned in this connection are as follows: (1)
Purusa, (2) Aghora, (3) Sadyojata, (4) Vamadeva, and (5) Isana.
These five mantras are within the category of thirty-eight special
Vedic mantras chanted by Lord Siva, who is therefore celebrated as
Siva or Mahadeva. Another reason why Lord Siva is called Siva, which
means "all-auspicious," is that he is self-illuminated, exactly like
Lord Visnu, who is the Paramatma. Because Lord Siva is directly an
incarnation of Lord Visnu, he is situated as Lord Visnu's direct
representative. This fact is corroborated by a Vedic mantra: patim
visvasyatmesvaram sasvatam. sivam acyutam. The Supersoul is called
by many names, of which Mahesvara, Siva and Acyuta are especially
mentioned.

The above are all from spiritual texts.

Here is the info you are looking for AGHOR MANTRA and specifics .

1. Aghor mantra is a very cool, peaceful mantra. It is not an
excitable or a hard mantra. It is of the Aghor nature; that is, very
simple.

2. An Aghor guru has charged the mantra with shakti. It has the
capacity of being beneficial to everybody. He gives it to the
disciple when the planets and constellations are in favorable
positions. Such a mantra is given for the benefit of all, but
receiving it depends upon the feeling, faith and attitude with which
it is accepted and practiced.

3. If you do not remain excited and impatient all the time, and
remain straight with yourself, that mantra remains self-charged. You
do not even need to charge it. Your success is indicated when you
remain straight with yourself.

4. The mantra given by the guru should be safely kept in secrecy.
Though you may recite it with your voice, it is most beneficial if
it is recited through the vibrations of your heart. It will then
provide great equanimity, protecting you and guiding you in all
things.

5. The guru gives you a friend in the form of the mantra who is
always ready to help you in times of strife, trouble and pain. It
provides support when our life becomes sorrowful and seems to be
disintegrating. This is the meaning of an Aghor mantra. You feel
great joy, inner happiness in meeting a true friend, and great pain
on separating from him or her.

6. Mantras are written in many books. But mantras from books cannot
be beneficial unless they are from the mouth of a knowledgeable
person.

7. Regarding initiation by mantra, it is necessary to keep in mind
through whose lips we gain this knowledge. Who will be auspicious
and beneficial for us? To learn it from a person who does not know
the path, has not walked on it, can never be beneficial.

8. As far as your question about the mantra of the Divine Mother is
concerned, mantra is always self-realized. You do not have to charge
it. What is important is that one should make himself conducive to
that mantra. One should follow the vow he has undertaken, and remain
simple and straight. This is the simple answer. One should remain
straight with oneself. Because when you recite your mantra, perform
worship, undertake spiritual practices, that divine shadow hovers
around you. If you remain steadfast in your word, nothing remains
impossible for you.

9. Your Guru has asked you to keep your mantra and Ishta (personal
divinity) very carefully. Keep them with such care as a bird keeps
her eggs. You may experience a little discomfort to the body, but
even that will go away if what you keep gets pleased with you.

10. Taking an interest in the mantra fills it with unfathomable
shakti, divinity, strength and ability. It releases divine rays into
your body, those supercharged, divine rays that give you everything.

11. It has been said, "Guru's mantra is like a sharp sword." This
sword in the form of the mantra cuts down the enemies residing
within your own body, and provides a happy, healthy and peaceful
life to you as well as to those who come in contact with you.

12. The molecular power of the mantra is such that it leads to
accumulation of many minuscule power particles in our speech as we
keep reciting it, and has a very deep effect. At that time one
should be very careful not to use wrong words, for these words can
have an instantaneous effect on those at whom they are directed.

13. The power of mantras remains great as long as they are not
traded, bought or sold.

14. When we perform jaap with beads (a rosary), our thoughts are
prevented from running away with us and are brought back to the
Self. It does not matter if you voice the mantra aloud or not. If
your attention to what you are doing remains unbroken, that flow
does not break.

15. Misuse or faulty use of the mantra given by the guru can have
adverse results. Therefore one should be very careful about its use.

16. The very moment you sit to do jaap with a clean and yearning
heart, the divine energy begins to saturate your body and fills you
with indescribable luster. Being vibrationless, receive it, store it.

17. Mantra-jaap cleanses our nadis (channels through which prana
flows in the body), purifies the mind, destroys the three doshas
(ills). By itself, the mind begins to be quiet.

18. Our speech should be so pure that when we voice our jaap, the
jaap should sound appropriate to that divinity. We sould voice it
with the correct tone of voice. Then our voice will instantly find
its object. And the divinity, attracted by it, will turn to us. If
it turns to us, and we are not in the appropriate yantra, or
attitude, then instead of helping us it can also have an adverse
reaction. We could become confused or aggressive.

19. A rosary has 108 beads. Eight of those represent what we owe to
our Guru, to our mother, to our divinity, to our father, to the
ruler of the country, to the lineage and family in which we are
born, and to the person from whom we receive our food. We are left
with 100 beads that we count however many times we have promised
ourselves to count them, while repeating the divine mantra given to
us by our guru.

20. This "word" (mantra) that is emanating from within you,
emanating by itself from your pores, is not to be spoken aloud. The
word-is happening. The word is happening within, by itself. As we
are thinking of it, focusing on it, our senses are getting
disciplined. Keep your attention focused on that.

21. As you meditate and repeat the mantra, let the mantra resonate
in your pran (being, life-force). When energy awakens in your pran
the seed of divine characteristics will be sown. If you let jaap
continue with the resonance of your heart, it will be very good.
When you have enough practice, the whole process will begin as soon
as you close your mouth. From your toes to the top of your head, all
your body-pores will begin to resonate with its sound. You should
try to hear that resonance, and the waves of joy produced by it.

22. Dispelling lethargy, yawning and dullness, we sit on the aasan
with alertness, with pure intention. The very moment remembrance of
name (mantra) comes to our mind, we can recite it thousands of time
in a flash of a moment. Every single pore of our body begins to echo
that sound, the heart begins to vibrate, a strange kind of sensation
permeates the body. Such a jaap is termed as Amogh jaap, the
unfailing jaap. A place where this happens becomes a charged place,
an awakened place, and we ourselves become the seat of spiritual
strength.

23. The very moment your heart begins to resonate with the sound of
your mantra, the ether takes shape in the form of your Ishta. With
practice you can see it. You may even see your Ishta in different
mudras (poses) such as granting you fearlessness, victory, bestowing
boons, etc. etc. The whole atmosphere seems to be charged with
radiance.

24. In this age of science, sound emanates and spreads in the whole
solar-system at once. Consider mantra knowledge to be the same.
Consider posture knowledge to be the same, consider ritual and
yantra knowledge to be the same. Look at it yourself, in reality.

25. Dissolve the mantra in your mouth and experience the joy in your
seclusion.


Please Do not do anything specific without consulting your GURU.

Regards.

Friends ... I second the views expressed in this mail
'

I would like to add that without Gurus upadesam the
mantra undertaken will not materialize it's benefits
... this is true even for the Mahamatras ... Gayathri
should not be done by anyone and at will ... Gayathri
should be given by a Guru, and should be practiced in
a certain way. However during the brahmi muhurtha time
no rules apply, and if you are a brahmin, it specially
becomes a obligation to perform it ...

Maha mrutunjaya japam can be done by anyone however it
should be instructed by a guru ...

Stotras and other mantras like lalitha sahasranama,
vishnu sahasranamam or Soundarya lahari dont need
Gurus instruction ...

Lastly Mantras are only Means to an end and not the
end in themselves ... even Gayathri mantra when done
correctly will only lead you to higher goals by giving
you direction ...

Experimenting with all possible mantras to see which
suits you is not a very good method of practice ...
and sometimes it can have negative effects ..
specially if you are chasing mantras like lakshmi
ganapathi, or the other tantrik mantras ...
Please remember that the tantrik mantras that are
practiced by tantriks are usully performed after
elaborate initiations by gurus ... tantra believes
that mantras are more powerful than gods who preside
them because by performing the mantras you are
creating an obligation for the presiding diety to do
what you want them to do ... spiritualism seeks to do
the reverse of this .. that is to submit to the will
of god and go where he takes you with faith and
determination ....

Lastly off late I am seeing a trend of selling yantras
like sri yantras for 2000 rs and telling the buyer
that it will take care of all your problems and give
you mental peace !!! ... I urge feverently at least to
the members of this group to abstain from this ...
because this is totally absurd and the most incorrect
way of using yantras ... picture this .. sri yantra is
the abode of Lalitha with all the gods presiding in
different parts of the yantra ... can u imagine what
kind of a responsibility owning something like that
is???????????

Please be prudent in how you chose to do things ...
may god bless you ...

Thanks sanjay ...

Dear Chandra,

Lalitha sahasranamam can be done by anyone at any
times except for women undergoing menses. There are
various discourses that tell you about each of the
names mentioned in the stotram. Basically
Lalithaopakhyana should clear any doubt you have
regarding the same .. some time ago I saw a copy of
that somewhere on the net ... maybe doing a search
will be helpful ..

Pranayma is a part of astanga yoga ... each part of
astanga yoga has a definite outcome ... the object of
pranayama is to derive the benifit of pranavayu to the
sadhak .. there are many forms of pranayama ..
nadisuddhi pranayama is a good one to practice ... the
aim of nadisuddhi is to invoke Sushmna nadi (there are
three nadis ... sushumna, ida and pingala .. ida is
fed by the left nostril and pingala by the right
nostril ... when there is a balance between the two
nadis sushumna is activated .. there are specific
practices with mula bahnda and jalandhara bandha that
I can tell u if you want to do) ...

Get a copy of patanjali yoga sutras on the net .. it
will clear what japam tapas svaadhya stand for ...

KIT.
