RE: Panchakshari

[Guest guest]

This is yet another reason I am grateful to belong to the community of this

list! Forgive my presumption and any attendant arrogance that may have

lingered with its installation into the discussion. As I indicated at the

close of my note, I am still a "baby" in these matters. But babies are moved

by immediate rasa and raaga. Intimate flavor and passion drive the entire

mechanism. I think this is the mesh lagna in my nature at work -- it can be

fairly impulsive.

(From here, this matter gets somewhat too involved and perhaps personal/intimate

for this list. I will continue privately...)

My absolute best wishes, my new friend, for a healing and wisdom-yielding

resolution of the current crisis. Your sincerity and goodness are evident, and

my hope is that there is much good that will ultimately come from what cannot

but be an excruciating experience and moment.

Blessings and inspired, creative prayer in perpetuity.

Dear Mr.Abbot,

Just a small correction if you permit.

That mantra written by Sri Satya Ji is the Shadakshari or six letter

(om-na-ma-shi-vaa-ya) mantra and not the Panchakshari (na-ma-shi-vaa-ya).

The difference is in the addition of the syllable 'OM'. The mantra given by

Sankaracharya is eternally living in the Shiva Panchakshari stotra where

each syllable from "Na" to "Ya" is fully and most marvellously explained as

the starting letter of the stanzas. These works are called 'Mantra-garbha'

and are very brilliantly written. In fact the five syllables constitute the

five tatwas and are also representing the Pancha devata, which taken

together is OM itself. Wow! what brilliance - this and such works have made

readers like me believe that Adi Sankara was none other that Shiva himself.

In case you enjoy mantra shastra, please visit my web/ read my book Vedic

Remedies in Astrology where I have tried to explain the Mrityunjaya mantra

in at least two different manners as explained by Swami Mahamedhanandanatha.

The first meaning which is known to all is for removal from the bondage of

rebirth and the other is for cure from all diseases (talking about the word

Urvarookameva-bandanaam). Vasistha's brilliance in this mantra from the 7th

mandala of the Rig Veda is incomparable.

Dear Satya,

 

A most auspicious post; wonderful. Thank you.

 

Just remember that the manic fundamentalism that sometimes rears its

benighted head on this list may react disastrously to the panychaakshara

mantra at the opening of your letter! This element does not know Lord Shiva

and feels threatened by his brilliance and outrageousness. One day such

fundamentalism by necessity will encounter the inspired from of

Harihareshvara (Lords Vishnu and Shiva in one body) and something may

happen. In the meantime, the panychaakshara mantra will do just fine -- let

us have more of it on this list!

 

May the demon of religious bigotry that possesses a few of our fine but

susceptible list members prove that it really values the Jyotish work of

such Shaivite astro-practitioners as de Fouw and Svoboda. Or is the latter

pair's jyotish merely accepted begrudgingly for political reasons because

the bigotry-demon knows these fine writers have gained seats of authority?

 

Just a wee thought! But let it be known: usually love is gentle, generous,

supportive and uplifting. And sometimes it is wrathful. This spectrum is

good, sacred, human.

 

Thanks again for your needed message.

 

Sincerely,

 

J. I. Abbot
