Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Hare Rama Krsna Dear Julli, Have you tried the Monier Williams Sanskrit dictionary, available online? It is an excellent resource for those developing knowledge of the language. Not sure what the link is, but with a search you'll find it.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Thank you Swee! Here are 2 of the mantras I'm working with - perhaps in their entirety, their meanings change: Om sante sante sarvarista nasini svaha Om srim gam saumya ganapataye vara varada sarvajanam me vasamanaya svaha Blessings, Julli , "Swee Chan" <swee@c...> wrote: > Om Gurave Namah > > Dear Juli, > > Replies below: > > Om Namo Narayanaya > > I would like to understand various words in the mantras that I come across, > like Vara, > (The day of the week.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Share Posted June 3, 2005 Om Gurave Namah Dear Julli, Replies below. Love, Swee Thank you Swee! Here are 2 of the mantras I'm working with - perhaps in their entirety, their meanings change: Om sante sante sarvarista nasini svaha Om (shanti) peace, peace, peace, the destroyer of all foes, (not an any particular form; all forms/formless), svaha - the deva that accepts this fire offering from you, who are offering this with your complete humility. Om srim gam saumya ganapataye vara varada sarvajanam me vasamanaya svaha om shrim ( the consort of Shambhu etc adorned with ) hrim saumya (Moon in the crest; suamya, the amrita) ganapataye (ganesha in the dative) vara varada (the daily granter of boons) sarvajanam (all forms in his name) me vasamanaya (bring them all under my control) svaha (is the vahnipriya) The Ganeshna mantra from Narada Purana III.67 is slightly different: Om shrim hrim klim (remover of curses) glaum Ganapataye vara varada sarvajanam me vashamanaya svaha The sage is Ganaka (place this on the head) The metre is Gayatri (on the face) The presiding deity is Ganesha (on the heart) The bija are the Six shaktis beginning with a and the application of the mantra is for the propitiation of Mahaganapati (bijas in the private parts and the feet) When offering the prayer, it should really end with "namah" and when you offer the agni hotra (after 1/10 of the amount to be offered), after each mantra, close with svaha and make the offerings into the fire. The mudra is that of Shiva to be placed in six of the limbs etc. Let you Guru help you with the rest. Hope this helps Love, Swee Blessings, Julli , "Swee Chan" <swee@c...> wrote: > Om Gurave Namah > > Dear Juli, > > Replies below: > > Om Namo Narayanaya > > I would like to understand various words in the mantras that I come across, > like Vara, > (The day of the week.
