Guest guest Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Namaste Samputikarana is true with all chantings of things like sundarkand, ramayana and others. It is mostly secretly passed in India via word of mouth from a saint to his/her devotees. It is very effective as the results have been tested. One such book that I have read is as follows: Pronunciation and the Chandi Samputs By Swamiji and Shree Maa www.shreemaa.org Pronunciation and the Chandi Samputs contains a collection of stories about sadhus' chanting, and about the constituent ingredients of intention, motivation, sincerity, attention, bhava, and understanding. It shares an outline of the history of Sanskrit literature, and details the origins of transliteration into Roman characters. It discusses the various styles of chanting among sadhus, and describes the differences in the alphabets of the differing languages of India . Then it details the Sadhana of the Chandi: different ways of chanting for different purposes. Ultimately it defines many of the Chandi Samputs, and describes the siddhis for which each would be employed. It's a small book, a simple book, but I think it is very important for students of Sanskrit.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Namaste, Saptashati printed by Gita press has various options for samputikarana. Instead of using a beejakshara for samputikarana, one can use various verses. Some of them are well-known for specific results. Gita press version mentions them.

Dear AllCan anyone suggest a good Sanskrit edition of the Devi Mahatmyam?The current book that I have is by Swami Jagishwarananda (Ram Krishna Math) and it does not have any of the samputikarana procedure as mentioned by Narasimha.Any suggestion for good translations of the Chandi Paath in English would also be appreciated.Thank you for your help.Chandraprakash Narasimha P.V.R. Rao <pvr Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2009 9:04:01 PM Samputikarana with beejas (Re: a question on Chandi Paath..) Dear Utpal and friends,Yes, this is samputikarana (enclosure). The entire prathama charitra is enclosed with Mahakali's beeja "aim". The entire madhyama charitra is enclosed with Mahalakshmi' s beeja "hreem". The entire uttara charitra is enclosed with Mahasaraswati' s beeja "kleem".If you want to enclose any mantra with a beeja, the best way is to say "om beeja" at the beginning and "beeja om" at the end. For example, you can read Vishnu sahasra naama stotram or Lakshmi ashtottara sata naama stotram with "om shriim" at the start of "shriim om" at the end of each verse, for prosperity. You can read Narasimha's mantra with "om kshroum" at the beginning and "kshroum om" at the end for removal of poisons (material and subtle). You can add "om kliim" and "kliim om" (at start/end) to several mantras, including Gayatri mantra, to overcome desires.You can note that each chapter in Chandipath is also enclosed with plain Om. You get "om RShiruvaaca" at the beginning and there is an "om" at the end of the chapter. Placing plain Om at the beginning and end of a mantra is the simplest samputikarana. It is used for all the 13 chapters.* * *When you do Chandipath, it is actually fine to use the 3 beejas (aim, hreem, kleem) to do samputikarana of *each verse* in the respective chapters. For example, first chapter will go as"om aim RShiruvaaca aim omom aim saavaarNiH suurya tanayo yo manuH kathyate.aShTamaHnishaamaya tadutpattim vistaraat gadato mam aim omom aim mahaa maayaanubhaavena yathaa manvantaraadhipaHsa babhuuva mahaabhaagaH saavarNistanayo raveH aim om..."Like this, add "om aim" at the beginning and "aim om" at the end of each verse in first chapter. For each verse in chapters 2, 3 and 4, add "om hriim" and "hriim om". For each verse in other 9 chapters, add "om kliim" and "kliim om".* * *The beeja aim is known as sristhi beeja or creative seed. It puts life in material and subtle things. Note that Brahma is the rishi for the first part (pratha charitra).The beeja hriim is known as maayaa beeja or delusion seed. It gives mastery over the delusion of this universe and helps one come out of maya. Note that Vishnu is the rishi for the middle part (madhyama charitra).The beeja kliim is known as kaama beeja or desire seed. It helps overcome desires and cleanse one.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Namaste Mitesh, Thank you for your suggestion. I will look into that. To clarify, I wasn't specifically looking for just the Samputikarana methods...it is the discussion that got me thinking about Chandi Paath books in Sanskrit and if people have any direct experience reading them and if they would recommend any. I will follow Narasimha's advice and get the Gita Press book. Chandraprakashm540i98 <m540i98 Sent: Saturday, April 18, 2009 11:14:11 AM Samputikarana with beejas (Re: a question on Chandi Paath..)
