Guest guest Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 Thanks Faraha, knowingly or unknowingly you are helping that child with the highest positive vibrations of Aum Mantra .... the humming sound of the cosmic motor of Creation. I will further add the four stages of a Mantra.. many of you may knowing it...but just to refresh.. I am giving example of AUM mantra but this is true for any Mantra. The way of chanting signifies the matra or pada of AUM (or any mantra that way). There are some more known words like Upansu, Mansik Vachik sort of Japa...but I will go into the technical details of a Mantra's sound. To elaborate the sound aspects in short , as per Nada-Anusandhana Pure consciousness, Thought, Form and Sound are manfestation of One supreme consciousness. Like Ice, Snow, Clouds, steam are all different aspects of water. Pure consciousness is changed into pure vibrational energy, which is changed into Thought Form and then to Form and finally to the most gross aspect Sound. To explain further:- (1)Vaikhari : Is the spoken word which comes out of mouth. It is at the lowest level of the sound spectrum of the consciousness. This is very confusing stage and is different for all animals and in humans it is based on culture. A chinese will not understand what Indian is speaking. Even a Punjabi will not understand whether a Tamil is abusing him or praising him. At Vaikhari stage our sound is not subtle and has very poor effect on the psychic system. Words themselves have not greater effect but they are the beginning stage and one has to start from Vaikhari stage, for any Mantra. When we speak of First Matra of a Mantra, it implies that the Mantra is spoken by the tongue in audible sound. AUM when spoken aloud, it is thus spoken in First Matra (A) and it is beneficial for the physical plane. Any Gristha if chants AUM with Vaikhari, it will bring him peace and happiness and harmony in domestic life. BUT continuous chanting of AUM in Vaikhari (normally 300,000 chants) automatically takes one to the next stage(pada) i.e. Madhyama.. Chanting of Aum in first Matra fixes one into Dhyana. Vaikhari has two states loud japa and whispering japa. (2)Madhyama : Second Pada/Matra/state denotes the Astral world. Before we speak a word, our thought is translated into the language known to us by the mind. If we notice carefully, each time we speak something, we first pronounce that word in our mind. Try speaking a language a little known to you, and you will notice clearly, how we first make a sentence slowly in mind and then we speak it out. The stage where Mind transforms the Thought energy into a form and into a language is called Madhyama. Madhyama is subtler than Vaikhari and is more powerful obviously. If we chant Aum by mental repetition, it will be japa of second Matra/pada (U) and will lead to realisation of God (Here God means the consciousness that is egoist about his presence as the Master of the Universe, its creator operator and destructor). A Japa of minimum 150,000 of any Mantra in Madhyama or second matra will automatically take one to Pashyanti stage. chanting of Aum in second Matra fixes one into Dharnaa. Madhyama has two states….chanting Mantra mentally and then thinking of Mantra without chanting it mentally. (3)Pashyanti : The third stage is Where we have pure thought without any Form or language. At this stage we think of attributes without any form or name. It is not easy to define this state, as it can be felt only. LOVE is the only known thing to us, which is clearly felt at this stage without any reason, without any logic and without any words. This is a telepathic state and at this stage all minds of the word unite, be it God, gods, humans or animals. The Yogis who send their thoughts to others or who control other's brain work from this state of sound. When a Mantra is chanted at this stage, we do not repeat the Mantra but think over the qualities of the deity. In this stage AUM is not pronounced but thought of only. This is a very powerful stage and is linked with the causul world. If any Mantra is repeated in Pashyanti or in third Matra, it leads to realisation of the causal world or God as Ardhanarishwara (a combination of consciousness and Shakti). It is at this state that Universe is felt as Maya and unreal.. About 1000,000 chants in Pashyanti will take one to Para state. Chanting of Mantra in this state fixes one into Savikalapa Samadhi. Para: this is undefined state of sound. It is here where Thought is transformed into pure consciousness without any form,name, attributes . This fixes one into Nirvikalapa Samadhi or the highest state.....ultimate aim of all in the cosmos !! AUM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 lol, even me doing same, i say anything and everything ... anytime and usually every time. lemme know if it is wrong. I do this because i believe I should feel something from heart, i tell it with my innocent love, or other genuine feelings to lord, and such feelings cannot be auto generated in a specified time. Is this method wrong, please let me know all your views on this. -- Deito Harirnama Harirnama Harirnama Kevalam. , sarvamaatha <no_reply wrote: > > Even i do the same thing.When i feel to say, i just say it.
