Om namastrivikramaya

 

Dear Julli and Swee,

 

Just adding one or two fine tuning points to these discussions. In the first

mantra, 'sarvarishtanashini', that is sarva + arishta+ nashini. Sarva is

all; arishta is troubles, evils, nashini is one who destroys in the feminine

gender, implying the invocations is to a female deity.

 

The second mantra is a powerful and well known Ganapati mantra for removing

all oppositions and enmity. The addition of bijas (Juli, these are seed

syllables, power packed and pregnant with meaning; it can represent the

divine itself) to mantras is a complex procedure and has a whole science

behind it. Simply put, 'shrim' is the Ramaa bija or Lakshmivanita. Shrim is

a mantra by itself for Lakshmi. And much more. Shrim is a complete universe.

 

This Ganapati mantra appears with different combinations of bijas. One form

commonly used, (I have heard both South Indian and Oriya priests use it, as

well as it is there in several books) is this:

 

Om gam glaum ganapataye vara varade sarva janamme vashamanaya hum phat svaha

 

Gam and glaum are both bijas while hum and phat are astras or weapons

indicating the power of this mantra. Svaha is your offering. Svaha is the

wife of Agni, and is known as Vahnijaya. (Vahni is fire, jaya is wife).

 

Best regards,

 

Sarbani

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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,

Om Gurave Namah

 

Dear Sarbani,

 

Namaste

 

More q’s:

 

For Nashini,

is she one of the Yoginis? Please detail her role.

Aristha – is argumentative for me.

Foes or enemies or evils are all the same word (perhaps lost in the translation),

after all, it is Shiva (who is tamasic in the mantra approach).

 

For the removals of enemies or people

in opposition, hum (kavacha) phaT

is the addition. What do you mean by astra? Also,

which war did Ganapati fight and which weapon?

Which word is vahni

in this case? For Rama, it is Ra

 

Shrim – the Lotus

Kamalaa of Lakshmi. Which colour flower would you

recommend?

 

Can you detail this including the

meditation: Om

gam glaum ganapataye vara varade sarva janamme

vashamanaya hum phat svaha

 

Thanks so much,

 

Love,

 

Swee
