Dear Member:

 

I think you are mostly referring to the ashtottara sada archanaas or

japa counts.....Because generally not just 108, but other numbers

like 32, 54, 64, 72, 108, 254, 324, 336, 504, 1008, or even 100008

are also sometimes prescribed for japa depending on the Deity

concerned. 108 is a number that is generally prescribed because it

is ample enough to produce the desired subtle changes that we seek

and also concise enough as it will not too much time (like say 1008

times!).

 

Other than this, the no. 108 itself has a great occult significance.

It denotes accomplishment of tasks as per one's desires, and Blessing

of immense Will Power according to ancient Tantrik shastras dealing

with this (there are ancient numerological yantras prescribed by

siddha tradition - the most famous one being Bhuavanai Kakkisham by

Thirumoolar).

 

In India,some wonderful traditions have been just incorporated in to

our everyday life and by following our customs, we will be

automatically doing things that have wonderful positive occult

significance even without consciously realizing them! This 108 is an

example of this phenomenon.

 

Blessed be.

Dear Babu,

 

It is not a silly question but it is a very good question. Actually

there are 27 Nakshatras and every Nakshtras has 4 Charan so total

charans are 27 x 4 = 108 Charan. Each Charan has 3 degree and 20

minutes so if you multiply 3 degree and 20 minutes to 108 it comes

out to be 360 degress i.e. one cycle (Circle). This cycle represetns

whole brahmand because all the rashis, planets and nakshatra are

between these 360 degree in 2 dimensional horoscope. So chanting a

Mantra completes one cycle of this brahmand. Further One who has

visited Brahamand at least one time i.e. he is brahmagyani he is

entitiled to place 108 Shri before his name.

In cosmology, 108 has this significance - the moon is away from the

earth 108 times its (moon's) diameter and the sun is away from the

earth, 108 times its diameter.

 

Perhaps this reality of distances is applicable to deities too.

Perhaps this has been indicated by the 108 divya desas of Lord Narayana.

Dear Ms. Jayashree:

 

I think this topic on 108 is getting very interesting and

enlightening for all members. Yesterday we had a wonderful esoteric

explanation from Shri. Sushil Dikshit, and today your wonderful

explanation of numerical symmetry of the cosmos! Wonderful.

 

There definitely exists a " numerical symphony " in the Universe. But,

not only 108.....as I mentioned in my earlier post, there are various

other numerals that are significant in occult practices. 108 is a

powerful and all-purpose perfect number...While we have understood

the glory of 108, we should not lose sight of the fact that there are

other powerful numbers also. This is just for the information of the

list.

 

My apprecitation again for this wonderful response.

 

Blessed be.

Pandit R.DAKSHINAMOORTHI.

Respected Guruji,

 

Kindly click the following link by the renowned scientist Shri Subhash

Kak on the scientist's notion of 'symphony of numbers', that you have

mentioned.

 

http://subhash-kak.sulekha.com/blog/post/2001/11/shri-108-and-other-mysteries.ht\

m

 

 

The following is excerpted from that article which might interest

astrologers of this group.

 

 

>>>>Three facts that any book on astronomy will verify:

 

* Distance between earth and sun = 108 times sun-diameter,

 

* Distance between earth and moon = 108 times moon-diameter, and most

remarkably,

 

* Diameter of the sun = 108 times the earth diameter.

 

That the Indians knew of the first two shouldn't surprise, because it

can be calculated by anyone without the need for any instruments. Take

a pole, mark its height, and then remove it to a place 108 times its

height. The pole will look exactly of the same angular size as the

moon or the sun.

 

I don't believe Indians knew the third fact, that the sun is 108 times

as large as the earth, because there is no evidence of that in the old

astronomy manuals. If they did, it would be as amazing a coincidence

as the knowledge of the correct speed of light before modern

measurements.

 

Indian thought takes the outer cosmology to be mirrored in the inner

cosmology of the human. Therefore, the number 108 is also taken to

represent the 'distance' from the body of the devotee to the God

within. The chain of 108 'links' is held together by 107 joints, which

is the number of marmas, or weak spots, of the body in Ayurveda.

 

We can understand that the 108 beads of the rosary (japamala) must map

the steps between the body and the inner sun. The devotee, while

saying beads, is making a symbolic journey from the physical body to

the heavens.

 

The number 108 joined to the name is merely a boast that one is a

spiritual adept, a master of the journey of 108 steps through the

intermediate regions of danger.

 

The other number 1,008 has a slightly different basis. Early Indian

astronomy divides the kalpa -- the total period within a creation, the

day of Brahma, which is part of an infinite cycle -- into 1,008 yugas.

The use of this number as a title is to boast that one knows the

mystery of time from creation to annihilation.

 

The number 108 appears in many settings in the Indian tradition. The

Natya Shastra of Bharata speaks of the 108 karanas -- combined

movements of hand and feet -- of dance. A few months ago in Chennai,

Padma Subramaniam, the great dancer and dance theorist, told me a

story of discovery connected with this number.

 

In the 1960s, Padmaji had come to the realization that the four hands

of the Shiva figures in Thanjavur represented animation. Then, in

1980, Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswati Swamigal, the Shankaracharya of

the Kanchi Peetham -- who was to pass away at the age of 100, fourteen

years later -- asked her to design a fresh set of karana figures for

the panels of the new Uttara Chidambaram Nataraja Mandir in Satara,

Maharashtra, based on the Natya Shastra descriptions. Each panel had

to show Shiva and Parvati.

 

She first had to decide whether to use Shiva with four arms as at

Thanjavur or Shiva with two arms as at Kumbakonam, together with

Parvati with two arms as at Chidambaram. She took pictures for advice

to the Swamiji, but he said there was to be no copying of existing

images. Ultimately, she chose four arms for Shiva and two for Parvati,

and created the 108 new designs.

 

Later in the 1990s, Padmaji was approached by Alessandra Iyer, an

Italian scholar, who wished to study the influence of the Natya

Shastra on the Far East. They discovered that the Satara temple panels

of Padmaji were similar in form to the 53 surviving dance panels of

the 9th century Prambanam temple of Java, Indonesia, that was largely

destroyed by earthquake in the 15th century.

 

This established that Padmaji's choices were right and her

understanding of the four-armed poses as frozen movements was correct.

Since her reconstruction were based on brief description, it also

suggests that the karanas are archetypes of motion.

 

The idea of archetypes brings me to Wolfgang Pauli and Carl Jung who,

in a book they wrote in 1952 called The Interpretation of Nature and

the Psyche, argued that our discoveries are a consequence of the

preexisting patterns in our mind. Pauli wrote once, " I prefer to say

that mind and matter are governed by common, neutral ordering

principles 'that are not in themselves determinable'. " The idea of

archetype, borrowed by Jung from Yoga, makes it possible for us to see

how different people can come to the same discovery independently.

Parenthetically, Jung took the idea of divinity as male-female

(Harihara), suggesting that each man had a female within (anima), and

each woman had a male within (animus).

 

In his contribution to the book, Pauli indicated how the great Kepler

had come by his three laws of planetary motion upon the use of

Fibonacci sequences. From there the next step was the Newtonian

synthesis that viewed the universe as a machine. But now we have come

full circle in our realization that if the universe is a machine, it

is one where the components are all connected together -- it is a

holistic machine.

 

Reading: To get an overview of the astronomy and cosmology of the

ancient world, see Subhash Kak, The Astronomical Code of the Rgveda.

Munshiram, 2000.

Dear Mr. Jayashri,

 

A thought came, why i should not share with u, U pls. stop counting

mantra chantings, counting mantra gives false ego and then

frustration if u dont get desired results.

 

leave it to the god, god counts the mantra chanted by you may be

108, 1008 or whatsoever, let him count, it's his part and ur part is

to chant the mantra. when the mantra has to awaken, it will be, god

will ensure it for u.

 

sometimes we try to become more intelligent with out limited

intellect and that creates obstacles in our spiritual growth.

 

So, forget about counts, forget about the time u put in for ur's

sadhana, invoke the god with pure heart. purity counts.

 

regards,

Lalit.

Dear Litsol,

 

Definitely we should count our Mantra Japa on Mala. Your view is against

Vedic Authorities and Sages, so should be rejected.

Dear Rafalji:

 

Aptly said. It has been clearly stated in works like " Mantraarnavam "

that the following are the conditions which render a japa ineffective:

 

1) Chanting without meditating on the Deity initially.

2) Chanting without positive motivation and faith.

3) Chanting with a distracted frame of mind and interrupting the

chant with speeches, and other mundane actions unnecessarily.

4) Yawning, stretching the legs, and showing disrespectful body-

language while chanting.

5) CHANTING WITHOUT COUNTING OR SANKALPAM (at least a sankalpam of

Deva preeti or Sarva Jana sukham should be done)

 

Though naama japams can be chanted throughout the day by Devotees who

are so attached to their Devataas, the moola mantraas should be

essentially counted with the prescribed japa maalas or at least with

hasta rekhas to be effective as remedies.

 

Chanting without counting is allowed only for tapasviis who are bound

by the goal of Manifestation of the Deity; those great souls will

never cease to do the japam till their goal of Divine Vision is

attained, and they foresake even normal human routines in that

process. We mundane creatures with our egos and shortcomings should

essentially set aside proper timings for japam and count it as

prescribed in the scriptures.

 

And I am yet to come across a real devotee who got egoistic or proud

because he counts his/ her japams! The more a person chants, the

more humble one becomes in this respect.....People who have completed

lakh repetitions will feel humbled that they have very little time to

complete 1 crore japam and so on! There are siddha purushaas who

have got Divine Visions and still continue their japam chanting.

Just as water washes away our impurities, japam removes karmic

negativities. It is better we follow scriptural injunctions in this

regard rather than trying to comment on those matters as per our

taste! I request all members to please exercise discretion in this

regard. We should not take everything easy. God can be approached

with Love; but that does not mean we can discard all traditions and

usages!

 

Blessed be.

Pandit R.DAKSHINAMOORTHI.

Rafalji is right. We should do japa on mala and that too not on any

kind of mala. Rafalji- you have advised me to do 3 mala chant. Please

also, if you have time tell what particular type of mala should be

used. This would benefit everybody in this group. I live in the USA

and I am not having an organized PUJA ROOM. So I am waiting to

actually start the mantra advised by you, properly.

*hraum namah adityaya*

 

Dear Bhagavathi,

 

Mala type depends on mantra. For Vishnu we chant on Tulsi, Devi -

crystal, Shiva-Rudraksha, we also use fingers for some type of mantras.

Its all in Puranas (I think Garuda Purana).

Om Namah Shivaya

 

Dear Pt. Dakshinamoorthy, Namaste

 

Very interesting and informative.

I saw someone asking Rafal ji for the mala to be used for mantra chanting

 

For shiva mantras - Rudraksha mala is the best

For sakthi mantras - Coral mala is the best

For vishnu mantras - Spatik or tulsi mala are the best

 

Just my 2 cents.....

dakshinastrologer <dakshinastrologer wrote:

Dear Rafalji:

 

Aptly said. It has been clearly stated in works like " Mantraarnavam "

that the following are the conditions which render a japa ineffective:

 

1) Chanting without meditating on the Deity initially.

2) Chanting without positive motivation and faith.

3) Chanting with a distracted frame of mind and interrupting the

chant with speeches, and other mundane actions unnecessarily.

4) Yawning, stretching the legs, and showing disrespectful body-

language while chanting.

5) CHANTING WITHOUT COUNTING OR SANKALPAM (at least a sankalpam of

Deva preeti or Sarva Jana sukham should be done)

 

Though naama japams can be chanted throughout the day by Devotees who

are so attached to their Devataas, the moola mantraas should be

essentially counted with the prescribed japa maalas or at least with

hasta rekhas to be effective as remedies.

 

Chanting without counting is allowed only for tapasviis who are bound

by the goal of Manifestation of the Deity; those great souls will

never cease to do the japam till their goal of Divine Vision is

attained, and they foresake even normal human routines in that

process. We mundane creatures with our egos and shortcomings should

essentially set aside proper timings for japam and count it as

prescribed in the scriptures.

 

And I am yet to come across a real devotee who got egoistic or proud

because he counts his/ her japams! The more a person chants, the

more humble one becomes in this respect.....People who have completed

lakh repetitions will feel humbled that they have very little time to

complete 1 crore japam and so on! There are siddha purushaas who

have got Divine Visions and still continue their japam chanting.

Just as water washes away our impurities, japam removes karmic

negativities. It is better we follow scriptural injunctions in this

regard rather than trying to comment on those matters as per our

taste! I request all members to please exercise discretion in this

regard. We should not take everything easy. God can be approached

with Love; but that does not mean we can discard all traditions and

usages!

 

Blessed be.

Pandit R.DAKSHINAMOORTHI.

Om Namah Shivaya

 

Dear Lalit ji, Namaste

 

One dont get frustrated if they fail in their sadhana, infact they get more

eager to continue with sadhana. The right way to approach is its not a failure

but sucess is just getting

delayed due to bad karmas. Mantras are the best way to burn the past karmas

and to chant a mala is a must.

Anand

Dear Mr. Jayashri,

 

A thought came, why i should not share with u, U pls. stop counting

mantra chantings, counting mantra gives false ego and then

frustration if u dont get desired results.

 

leave it to the god, god counts the mantra chanted by you may be

108, 1008 or whatsoever, let him count, it's his part and ur part is

to chant the mantra. when the mantra has to awaken, it will be, god

will ensure it for u.

 

sometimes we try to become more intelligent with out limited

intellect and that creates obstacles in our spiritual growth.

 

So, forget about counts, forget about the time u put in for ur's

sadhana, invoke the god with pure heart. purity counts.

 

regards,

Lalit.

Dear Shri. Rafal:

 

In this context, I would like to take the liberty of saying certain

other things associated with japa/ dhyaana practice at the end of the

post after giving the pertinent slokha you have requested from me.....

 

The slokha that describes the five points that I have mentioned is

this....

 

" vinaa Devataa Dhyaanamscha vinaa Shraddha bhaavenacha

vinaa trikarana bavyascha Vinaa Ekaagra bhaavenacha

Vinaa sankalpa sankhyecha panchame japa kshaya moole "

 

It essentially says that these 5 are basic things that are at the

root of destruction of the effects of a japam. " Vinaa sankalpa

sankhye " refers to counting of japams; i.e. if the person does not

sit with the sankalpam to finish " x " no. of maalaas " , the japa

effects get reduced.

 

Of course, there is a longer list of all these " nirnayaas " -

conditions in the Mantra Mahaarnavam. (This verse I have given here

is not found in Mantra Mahaarnavam in this form; actually it was

taught to me by a great yogi in my initial years of saadhanaa.)

 

BEFORE anyone attempts saadhanaas, these " nirnayaas " are best learnt.

Of course, for spiritual aspirants with a vedantic approach and who

do not long after results, and for bhaktas of Divinities " akhand "

japa of Divine Names is allowed. Of course, here the sankalpam is " O

Lord! As Thy Lover and Servant, I hereby begin a akhand japa to

secure Thy Grace. Please permit me and make my saadhanaa complete " .

 

In fact, there is the other extreme where Sage Agasthiar says " Manam

athu chemmayaanaal manthirangal japikka vendaam " (It means, if your

Mind is Perfect, there is no need for chanting mantras!); you know

where he says this?.......In a book called " Agasthiar Maantreeka

Kaaviyam " - an encyclopedic work on Mantra shaastra of the Siddha

traditions! Of course this is for the Highly Advanced Spiritual

Aspirant who has got " Advaita Siddhi " . That is why we should never

read this works " out of context " . If the 15th chapter is read before

the 1st chapter, we will definitely be led astray. Selective reading

and digestion can be dangerous in mantra shastra. In the initial

stages, it is best to go " step by step " under the careful guidance of

a Guru. The argument that now-a-days one cannot get a good Guru is

not true at all. If the sishya is deserving, the proper Guru will

come in some form or the other to guide the aspirant.

 

Occult things cannot be learnt by " discussions and debates " as if

everyone is at the same level....... " Japa siddhi Moolam SatGuru

Paadaaravindam " (Perfection in chants lies in the Lotus Feet of a

Good Guru).

 

A SadGuru will obviously test the aspirant before imparting spiritual

doctrines. An egoistic disciple who questions the very scriptures he

intends to learn, and feels that research is needed and higher forms

exist obviously does not the bill. Do we test the quality of the

school and the level of its best students by checking the syllabus of

the Kindergarten Classes? The syllabus will basically be alphabets,

and so will one decide that in this school they teach only alphabets

but there are much more important things in life, and this school is

not o.k.? This unfortunately is the attitude of many newbies in

spiritual field now-a-days. Without understanding that they are the

Kindergarten and they can progress gradually, they start saying that

the school is no good because instead of " Einstein's Theory of

Relativity " they are teaching only " A, B,C, D " here!

 

The disciple can test the Guru by subtle means - by observing the

Guru's attitude from a distance without commenting on it, by

observing the Guru is at peace and happiness with the spiritual

rituals he is performing (yes, a real Guru will be happy with Himself

and with His Rituals; words cannot explain that Divine Bliss which

can only be experienced by noticing a spiritual adept at his pooja!),

and whether he " seems " compatible to oneself and one's own spiritual

attitudes. There is no question of " abandoning or walking out " of

Guru's path once the path is chosen except in rare emergencies. SO

ONE SHOULD BE VERY CAREFUL WITH THE SELECTION OF A GURU IN THE INTIAL

PERIODS.

 

If a Guru is a false Guru and the disciple is still a true believer

of the " Guru Concept " , and hence he is led astray by the false

Guru....is it a loss to the disciple?....Maybe yes from a world point

of view...but no so from a spiritual point of view.....In this case,

the disciple may be put to certain hardships or may suffer

exploitation; but ultimately the Grace of Lord will show the way

sooner or later, and that disciple will definitely blessed with a

Good Satguru in this life, or if karmic factors intervene, in the

next life. GETTING STUCK WITH A FALSE GURU IS VERILY ONE'S EVIL

KARMA WHERE ONE HAS KNOWINGLY OR UNKNOWINGLY INSULTED AND HURT A

PIOUS SPIRITUALIST. Once that karma is extinguished by Guru Sevaa

with devotion, definitely one will get a good Guru. GURU SEVA IS AS

IMPORTANT AS DEVATAA AARAADHANAA; IN FACT, GURU BHAKTI SHOULD BE

CONSIDERED MORE IMPORTANT THAN DEVA BHAKTI.

 

" The Guru, The Devata, and The Mantra " are not different, but they

are just different forms of the same Divine Grace. There can be no

differentiation between them!

 

Blessed be.

Pandit R.DAKSHINAMOORTHI.

Respected Learned Members,

 

Both views may be correct when the views have/or with the goal as development of

Love/Devotion towards adhistana Devatha of the Mantra as Base.

In the initial stage only you need the count;as one develops the habit the

biological tuning of the intellect/body will automatically take care of the

practice(without count-help of malas etc).

It's like if with the help of Alarm clock if we wake up for 2 or 3 days at some

appointed hour,then automatically we wakeup at the same time every day without

help of alarm.

 

With due Respects

 

smadavi

 

 

Quoting starsuponme:

 

> *hraum namah adityaya*

 

Dear Litsol,

 

Definitely we should count our Mantra Japa on Mala. Your view is against

Vedic Authorities and Sages, so should be rejected.

Rafal Gendarz

Dear Shri. Srinivasamurthy:

 

Actually the japa maala is not merely an initial stage tool. It has

esoteric values far beyond our comprehension. Otherwise, why would

great siddha purushaas, saints like Aadi Shankaraachaarya, Shri

Raaghavendra, etc. have used the japa maala?

 

Let us not confuse devotion and mantrik procedures here at all. A

pure bhakta almost never chants Moola mantraas except the naama japam

of his Ishta Devataa.

 

Regarding the counts, even Satguru Thyaagaraajaa was advised to

perform Raama Naama japam for certain count by no less a personage

than Sage Naarada in disguise, and the Satguru reached such an

exalted spiritual status only after he finished the count of japam.

 

It is like, you have to give me 5000000 rupees, if you say that you

will give me whatever you can with devotion, will it suffice to me?

Likewise, when the debt that we incur to the sages by using their

teachings and mantras can be paid back only after we finish certain

initial counts on the mantras with proper procedures. This process

is called Purascharanaa. After this, the mantra become " Swaadeena "

to you. So, you can do what you want with that. Just a single chant

of the mantra will give manifest results.

 

Lord Hanumaan did not keep on chanting Raama naama japam for 100

years to cross Sri Lanka. It was a single Leap of Faith with the

chant " Jai Shri Raam " . But, can we say that we are THAT level of

devotion? Concepts like " advanced practitioners do not need that " are

o.k. in truth, but in reality they will rather mislead the

aspirants. We are all egoistic. So, after some initial saadhanaas,

we will tend to assume " I have reached this level; so it is not

necessary for me " ....while in reality, we may not be qualified for

such exalted status that warrants exemption of rituals.

 

So, it is better to err on the conservative side.....by following

rituals and practises as ordained by sages and traditions instead of

diluting them to fit our theoretical perspectives.

 

A SPIRITUALLY ADVANCED PRACTITIONER WILL NOT LOSE ANYTHING BY

FOLLOWING THESE RITUALS....IT DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER ONE FOLLOWS

THESE PERCEPTS OR NOT AT THAT LEVEL.....THEIR SPIRITUALITY WILL NOT

COME DOWN BY THESE! BY AN INITIAL STAGE SAADHAKAA WHO ASSUMES

WRONGLY THAT HIS SYSTEM IS ALREADY TUNED TO THE MANTRAS WILL FIND

THAT THE PRACTICE WILL SLIP OUT OF HIS HABITS GRADUALLY WITHOUT THESE

RITUALS AND COUNTERCHECKS LIKE JAPA MAALA, JAPA COUNT, POOJA, ETC.

MAN IS INNATELY LAZY AND EGOISTIC, AND OUR MIND WILL ALWAYS FIND

EXCUSES FOR OUR ACTIONS.

 

Following the precepts of sages verbatim to the extent possible is in

itself a tapasya!

 

This post is just a suggestion to all spiritual aspirants. Those who

want to follow this may follow; others may kindly ignore this.

 

Blessed be.

Pandit R.DAKSHINAMOORTHI.

Dear Anand Ji,

 

That's why i said, the fixed counting figure given in several texts may

or may not applicable to all individuals, reason, every one has his

balance of krama, so, what to count ?

 

When ur mantra touches the point it has to awaken u, it will do,it does

!!

 

I dont know how much mantra chanting u have done, I have seen my father,

he did chanting all his life, very strictly according to shastraas, but

didn't get things he should get. I think he w'd have chanted more that

50 - 60 crores of mantras as of now.

 

i remember during the navaratris he w'd do japa for 5-6 hours in one

sitting, he had a sphatik mala, a rudrakschh mala, all the steps he w'd

follow right from viniyog to kschhama parathana.

 

when he didn't get vision of god and other objectives he had, he

developed a kind of disinterest. I thoght what is the problem with him,

same thing i saw in hundreds of the people's life.

 

frustration comes, it's very practical, it came even in the life of

Swami Vivekananda or lord Buddha. I also went under this period of

frustration. however, for me this was a very small period, just 4-5 yrs.

 

After those initial days, i never counted mantras, never cared if i have

or i dont have a mala with me or not.

 

Do u know chanting mantra in mind is said to be of superior type, i

practised this, when in the bus i was travelling to my office, my mantra

chanting used to be carrried out.

 

And despite i mainly chanted mantra for my mother god, so many dieties,

saints and gods either in physical form or in astral form appeared

before me. I have seen almost all of them.

 

The purpose of my writing is to share my personal experience.

 

regards,

Lalit.

Dear Rafal,

 

I m happy to see ur's interest in mantra chanting, u look genius in

astrology and there is much to learn from u.

 

But u dont seem to know mantra principles completely, quite possible.

 

There are 3 types of mantra chanting, out of these three, manasik

(chanting in mind) is said to be the best, Upansu Japaa is second best

and Vachaa is the third in the catagory.

 

Last two Jaapa type needs japaa mala of 108 beeds, Manasik Japaa doesnt

need any mala.

 

same way there are various types of mantras. mantras like " So-ham "

doesn't need mala to japaa.

 

And for any mantra, a stage comes if u continue with it, u need not do

efforts for mantra jaap, mantraa jaap begins itself, it echoes itself

within you, first let it happen to you. once it happens, u will ralize

inner bliss and closeness to God.

 

One Name of God is enough, Rafal.

 

regards,

Lalit.
