It's just not possible to do what you're asking. Mantra is a subject for the

guru/chela relationship and not for the internet except where those people

are sharing the group for some practice. Sorry. Try Thomas Ashley-Ferrand's

books.

Om Shakthi

Dear Friend

There are so many manthras in the hindu worship by which one can attain moksha or mukthi. Before starting with a manthra first you decide which god you want to worship or rather select a eshtadevatha and go one to which form you want to worship. After this process find a guru who is doing the mantra japa of the deity you have selected.

OMSHAKTHI

Hi Dennis:

 

I'd have to agree with llundrub and krisshnan: The most likely

reason you received no replies is because your question is just mind-

blowingly broad. Kinda like joining a specialized "Quantum Physics"

discussion board and asking, "Okay, so what is this 'physics' stuff?"

 

It would take an encyclopedia article just to outline the basics,

and several lifetimes to explore the specifics. The five faces of

Sadasiva are said to have given 70 million mantras to the rishis of

your, each with its own sadhana. But as Guruji Amrita recently

explained:

 

"Fortunately, it is not necessary to practice all of them. Why

complicate your life? Simplify it! How much can you achieve in a 100-

year lifetime anyway? A hundred years isn't even a given yet; at

best, you can probably start off at age 15 and keep going until

you're 60 or 70. So you have maybe 50 years to work with. And in

those 50 years, how many mantras can you get the siddhis (results,

fruits) of? Every one of them works; all of the Dasha Mahavidyas

(the Ten Wisdom Goddesses and their respective sadhanas) work – so

pick one path and stick to it. What's the point in reaching the same

destination from all different directions? Each path offers its own

unique experiences along the way, yes; but the goal remains the

same."

 

For a broad overview of Hindu mantra science, Woodroffe's "Garland

of Letters" is an authoritative and thorough introduction. It can be

purchased here:

|mantrinyai namah|

Dear Dennis, Namaskar.

All mantras are given by a rishi who had heard the mantra be spoken by

the devas. Hence, by definition a Rishi is one who can speak or

communicate with the devas/God.

With each mantra is given:

1) a Devata who is the focus of the worship.

2) the Rishi offcourse.

3) a Chandah or rythme with which the mantra is supposed to be recited.

Sometimes also intonations are specified.

4) a Beeja or seed syllable which is the root cause of the devatas

creation and really embodies the specific form of the devata (and

mantra), i.e. for one form of Sarasvati its 'Aim' which is the beeja for

learning and studying and thus Sarasvati worshiped with the Aim beeja

ensures good education and studies.

5. A Shakti which defines the path or 'gati' of the mantra, which the

person must follow to attain the effects of the mantra. This is usually

defined by a name or beeja/seed syllable.

6. A Kilaka or key which unlocks the deities heart or the deities

desire. - i won't claim to fully understand the kilaka however, as it

can also work towards locking the mantra.

 

Each mantra (not just devata) can have a completely different scheme of

rishi, chandah, beeja, shakti and kilaka. In some cases the devata isn't

the same name as the physical embodiment, i.e. Aim can be a devata.

 

The knowledge of these six parts is used in Viniyoga. Some also call

this Rishi-nyasa.

Nyasa is really installment of the mantra in the body. Here the purpose

of the nyasa is really to 'offer' the limbs of the devotee to the

devata. Literally your making your body a temple and some restrictions

are also important to follow in this regard.

There are various types of nyasa which include more information than the

6 parts given above, but usually this involves use of the mantra itself

which is divided into portions.

Examples of Nyasa are: Kara nyasa (installed in the hands and meant to

guide ones karma/actions), anga nyasa (installed in the body itself),

peetha nyasa, etc. There are many nyasas.

 

Now, the mantras are mainly divided into two main groups: 1) prasiddha

and 2) kamya siddha. The prasiddha mantras are for the general well

being of the public and its said that everyone can practice them. The

kamya siddha mantras are for specific purposes of removing evil or

increasing good (some mantras are however said to be able to cause evil,

but this would seem to depend on the level of awareness involved). The

kamya siddha mantras require to be suited to the individual, and for

this purpose the Narada Purana and Agni Purana have given extensive

information on how to match the mantra with the devotee.

 

There is some disagreement on whether one requires initiation or diksha

to recite the prasiddha mantras, but we can generally state that a

mantra received through initiation carry the energy of the Guru and the

Guru's tradition, hence making the mantra much much stronger.

 

I hope this information helps you understand mantra better, off course

it is not as detailed as it could be, but a very detailed book on the

same is: Vedic Remedies in Astrology, By Sanjay Rath. Whilst this book

contains alot of astrological content, it is also one of the most

detailed books on mantras and mantra shastra that i have read.

Yours sincerely,

OM NAMAH SIVAYA

 

whatever form of The Divine you are drawn to repeat that Name with

faith and devotion. cultivate and follow your Love for that form.

incessantly repeat The Name of God. The Name of God IS God. when

called sincerely with full faith and surrender God will answer your

call. She gives us what we need to progress on the path at the

appropriate times. and i wouldn't worry about finding a Guru first.

don't be fooled into thinking we find our Guru, The Guru finds us.

The best mantra is the one with soul. Buddhists may nt believe in soul per

se, but soul is a combination of wisdom and action such that truth is

reflected in the slowly turning facets of life. Thus, a soulful mantram, is

the best. Maybe therefore not even the Megamahaguptamoksha Mantram is for

everybody. Soul-brother-soul

Dear members of this group,

I am so happy to receive your replies!

For those of you who think my questins is not quite appropriate, well, even your opinion that my questions are not appropriate IS an appropriate reply to my email after all;-)

I know mantra is a verrrryyyyyyy vast project, too well to describe in words here. But my questions are not so broad as they may seem and definately a reply like Visti's is quite what I was asking for (thank you sooooooo much Visti!) .

My whole point s that I have read some texts about mantras, and mantras themselves, that talk about things like the ones Visit so kindly explained ,but I could not really understand them.So, Visit's reply gave me a hint of what is going on with them and I can know understand things better and read books, texts etc with better understanding!

Again thanks for your time to reply!

May Mother bless the World!

Dear Brother,

For all mantras you can refer to Mantra mahodathi and mantra-arnavam which is in sanskrit and available everywhere. it containsall the details of each mantra, the rishi, chandas etc.etc.But no mantra is supposed to be effective unless it is taken directly from the mouth of a good guru - abhimukath avalambhya.

I went to a restaurant that day for lunch with a friend. A buffet

lunch. Nice spread and fantastic mixed of various food : Indian,

Chinese, Malay and Western.

 

Now the trick of enjoying all these nice food, is to take it bit by

bit, small portion each time of the different variaties. That is the

only way for you to enjoy. Common sense tells you that if you try to

take in more than your stomach can handle, it will create disaster.

Your tummy will revolt. Another, is it necessary to try to get them

all at once? You can always come back again. After all if the

restaurant have been there for years, tomorrow they will still be

around. Sooooo why need to be so greedy?

Hello Visti,

 

You may not know me but I am a frequent poster in KNRao's jyothish

this group may know this, that Visti is one of the foremost jyothish

Dear Yogaman and NMadasamy, Namaskar.

Thankyou for your warm welcome. I have been learning a lot from this

list, especially by going through the file-section and message archives of the forum. I have especially been getting some good acquaintances from the list members, with whom i have corresponded off line.So i'm definitely not bored, and hope to continue learning more about devi.

Capital letters just means shouting in E-mails. You should write "W.B. C.O..D." (with periods after each capital letter) to indicate an abbreviation of "welcome back, Child of Devi." (Or Warner Brothers, Cash On Delivery)

Hi Nora,

 

Thankfully I have not yet grownup and still continue to be a child :-)

(being an adult is so boring). I have been here all this time though

time does not permit me to post as often as I would like to. This

Navaratri I had a wonderful gift from Devi... (will add more on this

later). BTW I rapturously read your each day series that you posted

during Navaratri and I wondered why you did not post anything on

Vijayadasami day!!.
