Guest guest Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Na Ma Si Va Ya is an anagram Mantra.HTML clipboard Panchaaksharam, the five-syllable mantra, represents Siva in Lingam and Nataraja. Tirumular says that anagram Mantra, Na-Ma-Va-Si-Ya stands in the sphere of Fire; Va-Si-Ya stands in that of Sun; and Va-Si stands in the sphere of Moon. The basic Mantra is Na-Ma-Va-Si-Ya. See variant example below. When the soul Ya is flanked by Na and Ma on the front and Si and VÄ in the end, Na and Ma representing Tirodhana and Mala lead the soul into bondage and rebirth and Si and VÄ representing Siva and Arul confer salvation and Grace to the soul. Na Ma Ya Si VÄ In the above Mantra, obscuration and impurities are the burdensome front load (Na Ma) on the soul Ya, Siva and Grace Si VÄ come once the soul is divested of the front load of Na Ma. Na Ma Ya Si VÄ: Strike Na and Ma (obscuration and impurities). This is what you want. At this juncture the soul Ya moves and sits between Si VÄ (Siva and Bliss) and the new configuration is Si Ya VÄ. This is bliss; this is liberation. Na = Tirodhana Sakti or Obscurant Siva Sakti (¾¢§Ã¡¾¡Éºò¾¢). (ºò¾¢ = ºì¾¢) Ma = Malas or impurities Si = Siva VÄ = Grace Ya = soul KÄ“vala state is dream-sleep state of the soul Ya before birth. Sakala state is awake state, life of the embodied soul on earth (Na Ma Ya). Suddha state is deep-sleep state, merger with Siva (Si VÄ Ya---> Si Ya VÄ ); Na Ma left the soul.
