Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 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.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 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 ... --- sanjaytechnology <sanjaytechnology wrote: > Dear Andy: > > Rule of Thumb: Do not do any specific mantra without > proper guidance > or if you do not feel comfortable.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 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 ...
