Guest guest Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 Dear Tanvir, >From my understanding of the principles given by Pt. Sanjay Rath in his book, Vedic Remedies in Astrology, let me add the following: The first mantra has 6 words and (if I'm counting them correctly) 9 akshara (phonemes). This means that the mantra draws power from the 6th house and effects the 9th house ( dharma). The second mantra has 5 words and 8 akshara and thus draws energy from 5th house and moves it to effect the 8th house ( occult knowledge, forgiveness of sins). In this manner, one can select a particular mantra for different purposes, or strengthening a particular planet in a horoscope.

Swaha is feminine in spirit. Hum, Phat etc are masculine in spirit. The sex of the word used has nothing to do with the sex of the deity. It has to do with the spirit of the worship. When you are demanding something from a deity, use masculine words like Hum, Phat etc. However, be careful when you demand from a deity! :-) When you are completely sumbitting to a deity, use a feminine word like swaha. When you are neither demanding nor submitting, use a neuter word like namah. When you are not sure of your purpose and spirit, just use namah. This is what I was taught. Those who know more than me may kindly correct me. May Jupiter's light shine on us, Narasimha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
