Guest guest Posted January 1, 2010 Report Share Posted January 1, 2010 Namaste, The stories of curses on mantras and deities are metaphorical representations of things to watch out for. Please do not think that your mantra is not working because it is cursed and that it will magically work if you chant the shaapa vimochana mantra (curse relieving incantation). Take Savitru Gayatri mantra for example. It extolls the effulgence of the Cosmic Sun who lights up the Sushumna nadi (subtle channel of realization). The chhandas Gayatri is the shakti controlling the entrance of Sushumna nadi in Mooladhaara chakra. Repeated chanting of Gayatri mantra with focus will open the entrance of Sushumna nadi and let self-awareness (Kundalini) flow in the channel of realization. The ultimate goal is self-realization. However, if one does not realize the goal and thinks in terms of a limited I-ness and its desires (good health, wealth, children, fame etc etc) even as one chants Gayatri mantra, one will not achieve self-realization. One's Kundalini may rise, but will stop somewhere. One is blocked from the "full results" of Gayatri mantra. THAT is what is meant by it being cursed. Gayatri mantra has three curses. Take the one from Vasishtha for example. The word Vaishtha comes from vasu and means "the purest and the most excellent one". If an impure one, i.e. one with desires of a limited I-ness, is chanting it, there is a curse from Vasishtha that blocks one. If you see the shaapavimochana mantra given in tradition for Vasishtha's curse, you will see that it says "I am the light that fills the entire universe, I am Shiva etc". It implores sadhaka to let the limited I-ness go. If one merely chants that shaapa vimochana mantra, it is akin to chanting "Advil stops headache". Chanting that does not stop headache. One needs to actually take Advil. Similarly, one needs to imbibe the meanings of the shaapa vimochana mantras, in order for the Veda mantra of Gayatri to work fully and make one self-realized. * * * Bottomline: Stories of curses and curse relieving incantations for various deities and mantras are metaphorical in nature. Instead of searching for a magical formula, one should work on one's mental attitude and thinking. Surrender to god and consider all actions as offerings to god. Do whatever sadhana you can, whether it is japam or homam, for whatever time you can. In the rest of the time, keep a close watch on your thinking and eliminate undesirable thoughts (thoughts emanating from the desires of a limited I-ness) at the root. Expand I-ness to include others - wife and children, parents, family, friends, community, country, world etc. Rooting out of conditioning though constant contemplation enables one to do a better japam or homam. The time spent in japam and homam enables one to contemplate better and eliminate conditioning faster. The external sadhanas and the internal contemplation aid each other. When one's attitude is pure, all mantras become possible. Mantras chanted by an impure and selfish mind have all kinds of curses on them and give no results.
