Hare Rama Krsna

 

The mantra is aiM hriiM kliiM ....... if one sees it in Itrans (for internet

Sanskrit).

 

It is not an " m " or an " ng "

 

It is an Anusvaara, written in Itrans as " M " and in URW font as " à " . For

best pronunciation one should talk to a Sanskrit teacher and listen to them.

My Sanskrit teacher described it as the ma kara (m) sound but not closing

the lips, instead closing the throat. In this way it directs the sound to

the sahasrara chakra. If you close the lips to make it an 'm' then it

becomes a labial (and vibrates the lips) instead of a nasal, and if you say

it as 'ng' then it stays too low. When you see it written as m or ng it is

just a font/translation problem as English does not contain the sound or

letter of anusvaara. [There may be disagreement about the pronunciation of

anusvaara but not in the fact that it is anusvaara that ends these and all

other bijas.]

 

This mantra is a Durga mantra used to remove the negative effects of Rahu

and/or strengthen the Moon. It is 5 words, nine syllables, and the devatta

sits in the first house, therefore it works on trines to strengthen and

protect dharma.

 

I do not know of any planet placements that are contraindicated for this

mantra, though see VRA p240 for more details.

 

It is best at the times indicated for Durga worship. The best time period to

begin this mantra is during Navaratri.

Namaste

 

I have a further question regarding this mantra. For what purposes,

situations, problems is this mantra used as a remedy?

 

Are there any chart placements for which it would be harmful to

receite this mantra?

 

many thanks

 

kind regards

Hare Rama Krsna

 

Thank you very much for your beautiful

explanation!!!

 

I chant Durga mantra every morning for

several years and only now recognized, that I do that totally wrong. I've

had doubts about my chanting, but now I see my problem. Thanks a lot for

your message again!!!

 

May we chant the Durga Mantra in the

mind only (without sounds)? May I ask to give a link or send an audio file

with an example of correct chanting?

 

Sincerely yours,

 

Youry

Hare Rama Krsna

 

Vedic chanting is not something you will

just get right, immediately. It is something that we practice, practice and

practice and continually get better and better. I recommend learning the Sanskrit

alphabet, practicing this, and take time with each mantra to read it from the original

Sanskrit. The science of pronunciation is a vedanga,

an entire limb of the Vedas like Jyotisha.

Hello Freedom, Youry, Thank you Freedom for nice explanation of sounds, mantra- many people will benefit frrom your post. I'd just like to add smth in response to Mr. Melevsky: have you tried chanting prayers /in addition to mantras?- This seems to be an old terrain of disagreement- some jyotisha' think that mantras are self-correcting, that one cannot be wrong if sincere- /I feel that way too/ I don't think that chanting, even if pronunciation is not OK, can hurt- chants of any kind, those meaningful to us, DO HELP our mind, thus helping our existence. Pray to God with Love and your words will be energized and invested and WILL manifest as positive power on cellular level, as well as on macro level, with all the variations in-between. Word is OMEN- /Nomen est Omen-Latin lang./ we find in the Bible, and

indeed, emotionally invested words, names, day-in and day-out, DO bring changes- what's important here is- emotional investment.

Dear A. Ji and Freedom Ji,

 

Thanks a lot for reply!

 

I'm practising the vedic chanting almost

for 10 years (from September 1996) 1-2 times a day from 30-40 minutes to

several hours and really want to improve my chanting. Some mantras are

going very well, but I have doubts about Durga

mantra correctness, which was prescribed to me by Visti Larsen Ji in 2002.

Yes, I have experience with chanting prayers in addition to mantras and

have very strong results.

 

From the other side, I did read in other forums,

that Durga Mantra can harm, especially if the mantra starts without Om.

 

 

I'm still chanting as was prescribed by Visti Ji " Om

Aim Hrim Klim Chamundayai Vichchai " .

 

Could you please recommend a good Sanskrit

alphabet for study?

 

Sincerely yours,

 

Youry

Hare Rama Krsna

 

A mantra is composed of many parts;

pronunciation, chanda (meter), meaning (both outer

and inner), as well as ‘when’ it is done, how much it is done, and

various rituals that go along with the mantra like rishi,

bija, sakti, nyasa, etc

 

The intention is very powerful and will

manifest its results over time. Our goal is to learn the science of mantra

relative to jyotisha and to be able to make the

greatest amount of good in the shortest amount of time, thereby ensuring that

we achieve our goals in this life. As jyotishis we

give siksha mantra as medicine to people, not just

mantra to attain eventual liberation. We need to get results (alleviation of

suffering) for our clients and ourselves.

 

There is benefit just in practicing a

mantra (with unknown meaning or mispronounced with good intention). Though the

more we learn the more we benefit. For example, some say that to do a mantra

without knowing its meaning gives only 60 percent of the result. So to get a

hundred percent of the result is our goal, and it is an enjoyable journey of

learning. Jyotish will show us what mantras/prayers are best to practice, the

other vedanga show us how to practice them. It is a

beautiful science that all works together.

 

Namah Sivaya

Dear Shri Freedom Ji,

 

May I ask you please, to give an exactly

translation and meaning of the Durga Mantra (both

outer and inner): Om

Aim Hrim Klim Chamundayai Vichchai?

 

 

I'm not sure in the correct understanding

of the Durga Mantra. Maybe that's reason of my problems.

 

Sincerely yours,

 

Youry
