Guest guest Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Dear friend, Well, MMM is not VasiShTa rishi's invention/discovery but is unauthored and was first discovered in Krishna-Yajurveda in the famous chapters of RUDRA-PRASHNA in Namaka's 10 th Anuvaaka. The very Mantra ".... YAJAAMAHE..." proves that it is from Yajurveda. The rules for MANTRA japa are certainly available in Vedic scriptures - not only in Rigveda, but also in Yajus-Saama-Atharva. The duty of a Mantra-vetta is definite and available in Vedanga and Upanishad too. In addition, the inventor's notes or description of Mantra and its parts with rules and regulations for JAPA,HOMA,DAANA involving it is also available. Besides, the right time to start the Japa with accurate tithi, vaara, nakshatra, yoga, karana, lagna, graha yoga, muhoorta is available in AtharvaNa veda, and in KALPA, a vedanga like Jyotisha. So there are RULES and regulations for a mantra-japa for correct fruits. Any dilution would dilute the result and sometimes may result in unexpected tastes. Though I may be mistaken for pro-male attitude, I am actually not; especially when I say Vedic scriptures do not advise teaching powerful Mantra to female EXCEPT for very special purpose; We know examples of Kunti, Lopaamudra, Anasuya who were known for their mantra siddhi. A kind of most powerful Shodashakshari (16 syllabled Mantra) is known by Lopaamudra's name! SO the objection in the present case is not wrt women but the purpose, need and rules regarding mantra-japa; If all are well-achieved, there is no problem at all! yours humbly, KAD , "arun" <savitarcyber> wrote: > > Namaste Dhruv > > The mantras of the Rig-Veda (Mrityunjaya mantra of Vasishtha Maharishi > is one of them) are above any defect of time and space.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2005 Report Share Posted April 12, 2005 Please Explain: Why wash the japa mala, when it is the human female *body* that is experiencing death and rebirth -- which is what menses is, biologically, if you think about it! Regeneration! God saying: There is life beyond all cataclysms, even the biblical and vedic ones and even the ones that some of us experienced and recorded in the 20th century! RR , John Sana <sanajohn2000> wrote: > Krishnan, Dhruv, Renu, > > I am writing this post for the last time not for discussion of God nor to lead us to the path of God!" Either ways it is fine with me! And neither am I preaching somebody their culture or divinity lessons. I had taken diksha from an eminent acharya about 5 years back when I was 20. He had mentioned to me that during the menses a woman can chant the mantra but not go near the altar. And thats what I have been doing. When in menses I just chant the mantra with the japa mala after washing it in water. And on the 4th day, I simply wash the japa mala & resume my pooja. Just like members posting their responses in anger, happiness, joy & pain. I posted my views too. > > > > > > > > > > > / > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Terms of > Service. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > ~!

Yes the rules are important. But if there is no BHAKTI all these rules and regulations are useless in Kaliyuga. It is Bhakti tat gives the power to the mantra in Kaliyug.We are not man or women! We are ATMA and in the spiritual world we are all female .... If some only follows rules and regulation with out Bhakti, no spiritual benefit from Chanting the mantra. The Brahmins should to encourage the sadhakas to chant the holy names of the lord!Don't your be afraid to chant, Siva is not a Computer which works with rules and regulations only, the Lord see you bhakti and motivation first, and then maybe he looks on regulations... ! best regards Shad Durga Devi Ki Jay -- In , "kadrudra" <kadrudra> wrote: > > Dear friend, > > Well, MMM is not VasiShTa rishi's invention/discovery but is > unauthored and was first discovered in Krishna-Yajurveda in the > famous chapters of RUDRA-PRASHNA in Namaka's 10 th Anuvaaka.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Dear Sri Kad The mahamritunjya mantra is for Lord Shiva and in essence the one who knows its meaning discovers Moksha. Moksha isn't something to be achieved but it is an already achieved but a forgotten Truth. It is a matter to be discovered. In doing so, a clear mind is needed for consciousness to shine through it. The mantra japa rules as prescribed in our holy texts are to focus the mind from its diluted vision to a more concentrated vision. In Vedic times, this method was used through Upasana as given in Taitterya Upanishad. However, as centuries went by simple rules and instructions were made a reason for fear, that chanting the name of the Lord in an improper BUT DEVOTIONAL way shall lead to wrong consequences. This fear does not help in either a clear mind or for discovering Moksha. Therefore, by implying non existent fears, you are promoting the vikshepa (wrong understanding). Sadly, you are doing so by quoting the very Vedas that our Rishis have written through Knowing the Truth and helping us to discover it too. Your prescription of rules are correct for those who have no Devotion and want to do mantra only to gain certain siddhis that the certain mantras can bestow. Not for those, especially for the lady Renu who had ample devotion to chant it for her parents long and healthy life. Papa and Punya are two opposites that is called the pair of opposities in almost every Upanishad and Bhagavad Gita. These are the pairs that mind involves in and therefore, has sorrows and joys, success and failures and starts to judge oneself accordingly. By promoting the thinking of Papa-punya when Isa Upanishad says... Isa Vasya idam sarvam, .....shows how wrong it would to promote such ideas and involve people's mind in the pairs of opposites. To you, you are doing service. In my view, as suggested above, you have destroyed a very loving mind by putting fear in it. You have strengthened the vikshepa and weakened the viveka... and above all commited the worst "sin" possible ...i.e ... creating sin when there was none. You can show my reasoning to the foremost Saints of Vedanta and Upanishad in our country and see what they have to comment. Please read Vivekachoodamani, Aporkshaanubhuti, Bhagawad Gita Chapter 2, Isavasya Upanishad, Mahavakyas, and I can give atleast 100 other references which do not promote your kind of thinking. I would like to take this opportunity to convey to Sri Rohini Ranjan that cartoons apart, the purpose of this place is discussion and learning. And not once, we are discussing about the Lord. We are discussing about the wrong ideas one can get about the Lord and its possible consequences. The same discussion and teaching exists in every Gurukul in the country. I apologize to every person who has been hurt by my comments. I do not wish to disrespect anyone as each of you is contained in the Lord.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Dear friend, I pity your mis-interpretation of my message. I never frightened anybody of doing Mantra-Japa. I just want to avoid it from diluting to maintain the SANCTITY, which certainly requires rules and regulations to be followed. I have already explained why and how a Mantra resembles a chemical equation. Our friend Renu or anybody for that matter can chant any mantra if got from an authoritative Guru but maintaining the sanctity. No work you mentioned quote any exception to this. Mantramarga is materialistic but Vedanta is metaphysical and non-materialistic. While in periods, a woman is called RAJASWALAA - who certainly gets RAJO - GUNA bodily and mentally, which is not so good for SATWIK Vedic Mantra Japa. Perhaps you have understood now what I exactly meant. If still you are confused, please refer to classical Vedic texts. If one is interested in Vedantic way, there is no need of any Mantra, tantra or yantra and just Meditation would guide him/her because there is KARMA-PHALA-TYAAGA in vedantic way unlike usual Mantras! humbly, Kad , "natalcharts_biz" <natalcharts_biz> wrote: > > Dear Sri Kad > > The mahamritunjya mantra is for Lord Shiva and in essence the one who > knows its meaning discovers Moksha.

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Dear friends, Just a week or so back, I experienced first-hand the power of this holy mantram. I woke up in the middle of the night in pain. I automatically start to recite this mantra whenever I, or someone I love, is not well, and accordingly, started to recite this in bed, focusing on the smiling Lord standing above me, with his hand raised in benediction. Everytime I woke up, I continued to recite the mantra. In the morning I listened to the Rudram, and continued to meditate on the maha mrutyunjaya mantra afterwards, while I went about my daily chores. The reference material I consulted, specified that the illness typically lasts 3 days in all its intensity, and takes 2 weeks to get completely better. By about 11AM that morning, I started to feel a whole lot better, and by 2PM, I was completely back to normal. This may be a very small example, but there is no doubt in my mind that chanting the name of the Divine with any mantra, anytime and anywhere will bring only good to the person, if done with humility, devotion and trust. My body was obviously impure before bathing, but His compassion goes far beyond that. I trust that as a mother picks up her dirty child and washes him off with love, my Lord will take me, with all my faults, and remove all my shortcomings, not because I deserve that, but because I am His, as are all of us. I've experienced the healing power of this mantra for myself and for my loved ones many times. Indeed, I chant this mantra for my loved ones everyday, increasing to 108 times when anyone is unwell. And this is not the only such mantra either - I've known people that achieve health with Aditya Hrudayam, Raama Aapadodharaka mantram, Hanuman Chalisa etc. -Sreelatha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Ms Sreelatha, Very happy to read benefits of Mrutunjaya mantra.I have a suggestion,if you can add Mudra therapy along with your chanting. For detox of system, there is a mudra.With thetip of thumb press the middle and ring fingers tips,for a total period of 45 min approx,spread over 1 to 3 sessions (15min).This can be done as per convenience.Use the creative visualisation meditative technique,which you are doing.There are different mudras for different problems,but detox mudra is good, With gods grace things will work out beautifully.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 Dear Sri Kad Now Gods and their mantras can be diluted! Wow! You mean Gods and their mantras change their purity as per your rules and regulations. Sattwa, Rajas and Tamas are three properties of mother nature are are in each and everyone in seemingly different matras. By being under Rajo Guna, does not mean you cannot chant a Mantra. By chanting a mantra under influence of Rajo Guna also changes it to Sattwa. However, Mahamritunjya Mantra is a moksha dayee mantra and not a "Sattwic Mantra" and it certainly not "diluted" by not following "your" rules and regulations. IN your mind, there are more divisions than anyone can deal with. Karma Phala Tyaga is not Tyaaga for Karma Phala but understanding the results are in the hands of the Lord and not in Mine. Even when lord krishna gave Bhagavad Gita sermon to Sri Arjuna, he expected him to understand. One always does action expecting a result however results are always in the hands of the Lord and we cannot govern them. Action is what is in our hands. This is the meaning of "Karmane Vaadika...." So your incorrect understanding of Vedanta and mantra shastra shows how superficially you are looking at things. Before having pity on me, have pity on your vakra buddhi. I wish no longer to discuss this issue with you or anyone else as there is no learning for anyone. I remain Thanks and Regards , "kadrudra" <kadrudra> wrote: > > Dear friend, > > I pity your mis-interpretation of my message. I never frightened > anybody of doing Mantra-Japa.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2005 Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 My dear great Vedantin and Philosopher :-), I am a humble creature sharing whatever I know. Why should it make you get annoyed? your comment: >>Now Gods and their mantras can be diluted! Wow! You mean Gods and >>their mantras change their purity as per your rules and regulations. None of my messages reveal this; It is YOUR OWN IMAGINATION! I have not given ANY RULES for PURITY; Rules are given to us by ancestors in written and sometimes non-written forms. your comment: >>By being under Rajo Guna, does not mean you cannot chant a Mantra. By chanting a >>mantra under influence of Rajo Guna also changes it to Sattwa. Now tell me which classical text says this? If at all it exists, quote the chapter and verse please.(specifically about Rajaswala) I never created all these rules; if there is an objection, ask the person who did it for EXACT reason. Ask Indian farmers why they do not sow the seed or plough when BHOOMI, the earth gets RAJOTPATTI(menstruation) for three days. DID I CREATE THIS RULE TOO? your comment: >>However, Mahamritunjya Mantra is a moksha dayee mantra and not a >>"Sattwic Mantra" and it certainly not "diluted" by not following >>"your" rules and regulations. IN your mind, there are more divisions >>than anyone can deal with. There is no MY rule mentioned anywhere! MRITYUNJAYA MANTRA is used to get rid of MRITYU the death. Now it has diluted and changed its real objective!! Some say it is for good health and some say it is for wealth and some say it is for peace of mind. What works actually in most of the cases is FAITH and belief but not mantra! Now u added that it is for MOKSHA! Getting rid of MRITYU is to LIVE LONGER, and to remain here on MARTYA(where all die)LOKA; where is Moksha? In that way it IS materialistic ambition! your comment: >>Karma Phala Tyaga is not Tyaaga for Karma Phala but understanding the >>results are in the hands of the Lord and not in Mine....This is the meaning of "Karmane Vaadika...." You yourself are confused and write self contradictory statements! (I hope your quote " Karmane Vaadika.." is Vikshepa of "KarmaNyevaadhikaraste....") your comment: >>So your incorrect understanding of Vedanta and mantra shastra shows >>how superficially you are looking at things. I have always believed that 'KNOWN IS LIMITED AND UNKNOWN IS UNLIMITED'. Until 'deep' thinkers like you show the depth of the shastras with correct PRAMANA AND PRAMEYA, my experience will be the GURU for me, unchallenged! your comment: >>Before having pity on me, have pity on your vakra buddhi. I wish no >>longer to discuss this issue with you or anyone else as there is no >>learning for anyone. Your envy and impatience has shown up in words! It for the readers and silent observers to decide whether mine is a VAKRA BUDDHI!? in revealing the truth and sharing a piece of knowledge. I have an objective in mind - to protect the sanctity and values of Vedic principles, never subduing to prejudice or supersition or to ultra-modernism. Until then I do not retire from the battle field! yours humbly, KAD , "natalcharts_biz" <natalcharts_biz> wrote: > > Dear Sri Kad > > Now Gods and their mantras can be diluted! Wow!

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Dear Raghu, With the thumb engaging the middle and ring fingers,two fingers balance are index and little finger both of which should be kept straight.The palms should be resting on the thighs or chair facing the ceiling in a receiving mode.breadth normal.total period 45 min approx .Meditative state helps. If you are a Reiki practioner,use the symbols,before commencing.or alternatively rub your palms to generate energy for few secs. Trust this clarifies. God Bless!

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Dear Raghu, There are many things which can be done to control negative thoughts which affect oneself. If could give your background, then we can approach the issue in a holistic way.My knowledge and experience in energy healing is available to any who genuinely desire help. In the meantime please practice the simplest mudra. Thumb pressing th tip of index finger,and taking breadth slowly,observing the flow of air thro the nostrils.Eyes closed.Have nice soft music in sitar or violin to eliminate background /outside noise.15 to 20 min daily first thing on the morning is ideal.Within 2 weeks there will be a positive change. Pls try it out ,you will enjoy the experience,it will become an addiction,for your good. God Bless!

Guest Jojospm Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 You know what, you all need a REALITY CHECK !! The lady wants to pray to god in her way, she is not bad or evil. If her heart is focussed in her prays then it should not matter that she is having a period. The prayer connects with her soul. Her body is there only to support her soul. At the end of the day, by her saying the mantra, if it creates peace in her mind and some reassurance then what is the problem ? By reciting the mantra, at least she is not hurting someone, or saying anything bad. ......... Just leave it at that................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
