MANTRA

 

Calling/ordering/requesting somebody in his/her language is Called

Mantra.

When a Mantra( a set of particular words in a particular

configuration and rhythm by chanting which one can fulfil one's

wish) is chanted according to the proper Tantra

( method to perform a worship in a systemised way),

the sound vibrations gather force from the Yantra

( a geometric figure inscribed on a metallic plate or paper and is

the confluence of the powers of the concerned God)

and after reflecting from its surface spread out into the universe

and reach the concerned God.

A mantra (Devanaagarii & #2350; & #2344; & #2381; & #2340; & #2381; & #2352;) (or mantram)

is a religious or mystical

syllable or poem.

Their use varies according to the school and philosophy associated

with the mantra.

They are primarily used as spiritual conducts, words or vibrations

that instill one-pointed concentration in the devotee.

Other purposes have included religious ceremonies to accumulate

wealth, avoid danger, or eliminate enemies.

Mantras originated in the Vedic religion of India, later becoming

an essential part of the Hindu tradition and a customary practice

within Buddhism, Sikhism and Jainism.

The use of mantras is now widespread throughout various spiritual

movements which are based on, or off-shoots of, the practices in the

earlier Eastern religions.

Mantras are interpreted to be effective as sound (vibration), to the

effect that great emphasis is put on correct pronunciation

(resulting in an early development of a science of phonetics in

India).

They are intended to deliver the mind from illusion and material

inclinations.

Chanting is the process of repeating a mantra.

 

BEEJAMANTRA

 

 

Biijamantras or Seed-Mantra-s are the " seed " sounds associated with

different aspects of Universal Manifestation.

A few Beejamantras associated with Devataas or Deities. Beej-

mantras are also associated with Mahabhutas (Gross Elements), areas

of one's body, etc.

Each of these Biijamantras is the perfect sound representation of a

particular deity, gross element, etc.

 

Beejmantras related to deities: Sarasvati (goddess of knowledge and

eloquence),

Durgaa (the inaccessible goddess),

Ganesha (the son of Shiva who removes all obstacles),

Shiva (the Supreme Auspicious Self),

Bhuvaneshvari (the Mistress of the world),

Krisna (the Supreme Dark Lord, guru of this universe),

Kaamadeva (the god of love), Kaali (the goddess ruling over Time),

Nrisimha (Man-Lion or the fourth incarnation of Lord Visnu),

Mahaalaksmi (the goddess of fortune)

and Shakti (in the form of the Supreme Woman ruling over the entire

universe).

Obviously, the repetition of a Biijamantra linked to a particular

deity will develop in a person the qualities and attributes embodied

by that very deity.

For that reason, if you want to develop knowledge and eloquence, it

would be really propitious to you to repeat the and so forth.

In turn, every Biijamantra may be also used for a worshipper to

offer his/her love and devotion to his/her chosen deity.

 

Om, Aing, Shreem, Kreem, Hleem, Nim, Nrim, KleemAll these mantra

Creates a strong base for all sadhanas.

 

Beej Mantras are single character mantras which are as capable as

any bigger mantra.

Sankrit is called the language of gods because every character of

Devnagari, current script for Sanskrit, is a Beej Mantra.

Beej Mantras are free from all restriction; there are no rules, no

rosary or yantra is required and no diksha is necessary.

And best of all, these can be recited mentally anywhere while doing

anything.

To recite mentally, imagine to be hearing the mantra again and again

in own voice.

 

Beej Mantras are available for each deity or god, thus have solution

for any situation.

One of the best example of their power is the Bhuvaneshwari

Mahavidya Mantra - Hreem which is a Beej Mantra.

 

The method is simple. Pick a Beej Mantra of your liking or based on

the situation, and recite it as much as you can till the problem is

solved.

You can do it in office, in gym, in restaurent and even while

sleeping.

 

TANTRA

 

Tan - thread, web, stretch, spread or expand, and

 

Tra - tool or instrument.

 

Tantra , Taantrik Yoga or Tantrism

 

is any of several esoteric traditions rooted in Hindu and Buddhist

philosophy.

 

Tantra (Sanskrit: also means weave, loom)- tool for expansion or a

weaving.

 

Through Taantrik practice one can experience an expansion of

consciousness and recognize the interlinked of the web of existence.

 

 

 

Tantra is a vast body of spiritual and physical knowledge,

encompassing an array of practices, including all forms of yoga.

 

These practices are aimed at expanding consciousness and liberating

oneself

" through life and not through escape, using the body as an

instrument. "

 

In Tantra, the energies of the body are used as the fuel for

spiritual development.

 

Tantra is an eminent science having thousands of principles.

It is the system of our life and a science of practice and

practical knowledge.

Through Tantra, we can attain superb powers by attracting and

deriving the divine faculties pervading the entire cosmos.

The aspirant of Tantra makes his internal capacity sharp and

intensely forceful just like a magnet.

This science is the process of activating the various dormant vital

glands and Chakras of the astral form, present inside the human

body.

It makes us aware of the truth that a person can get liberation from

his own subjugation, can achieve immense power and even with the

physical body present, can free himself from his body and expand his

faculties infinitely.

 

Each and every element of the nature is associated with the other.

 

Every action has a definite basis and for that action, there also

exists an equal and opposite reaction.

This uninterrupted succession of atomic process is going on in our

atmosphere.

Formation of water vapours, rain from the clouds due to attraction

between positively and negatively charged atoms, storms and

earthquakes, all are interrelated to each other.

 

Tantra is the process of intensification of our peculiar inner

potentialities so that we can command this atomic arrangement which

in other words is known as Siddhi.

The flow of energy is going on ceaselessly in the environment and

when your own inner energy becomes capable of influencing the

external ones, nothing will remain impossible for you and this is

the Science of Tantra in which the aspirant's wish is first and

foremost.

 

Extolled as a short-cut to self-realization and spiritual

enlightenment by some, Taantrik rites are often rejected as

dangerous by most orthodox Hindus.

 

There are two " paths " in Tantra:

i) Dakshinachara (also known as samayachara), the " Right-Hand Path " ,

and

ii)Vamachara, the " Left-Hand Path " .

The latter is associated with many ritual practices that go against

the grain of mainstream Hinduism, including sexual rituals,

consumption of alcohol and other intoxicants, animal sacrifice and

flesh-eating.

 

Sometimes, Tantra is classified as either

 

i) Red (rajas or heat, fire, restlessness, anger),

 

ii) Black (tamas or darkness, ignorance, stagnation) or

 

iii) White (sattwa pure, moderate, divine).

These correspond to three Hindu conceptions of the qualities of

existence first posited in Samkhya.

 

Some Taantrik (Tantra aspirants) simply feel the union is

accomplished internally and with spiritual entities of various

kinds.

For this reason, almost all Taantrik writing has a gross, higher and

subtle meaning.

This tripartite system of understanding readily obscures the true

purport of many passages for those without the necessary background

or deeper understandings so crucial to Tantra.

Thus, a 'union' (Yog) could mean the actual act of sexual

intercourse, ritual uniting of concepts through chanting and

sacrifice, or realization of one's true self in the cosmic joining (

Yog) of the divine principles of Shiva and Shakti in Para Shiva.

 

Tantrik generally see the body as a microcosm; thus in the

Kaulajnana-nirnaya, for example, the practitioner meditates on the

head as the moon, the heart as the sun and the genitals as fire.

Many groups hold that the body contains a series of energy centers

(chakra - " wheel " ), which may be associated with elements, planets

or occult powers (siddhi). The phenomenon of Kundalini , a flow of

energy through the chakras, is controversial; most writers see it as

essential to Tantra, while others regard it as unimportant or as an

abreaction. As it is, kundalini is nothing but the flow of the

central sushumna nadi, a spiritual current, that, when moving, opens

chakras, and is fundamental to the siddhi concept that forms a part

of all tantra, including Hatha yoga.

 

Sexual intercourse is not at all a part of all Taantrik practice,

but it is the definitive feature of left-hand Tantra. All tantra

states that there were certain groups of personalities who were not

fit for certain practices. Tantra was personality specific and

insisted that those with pashu-bhava (animal disposition), which are

people of dishonest, promiscuous, greedy or violent natures who ate

meat and indulged in intoxication, would only incur bad Karma by

following Taantrik paths without the aid of a Guru who could

instruct them on the correct path.

 

There are three types of Taantrik Sex: White, Gray, and Black. White

Tantra never ejaculates nor reaches orgasm in order to awaken

consciousness. Gray Tantra elongates the sexual act, and sometimes

concludes with orgasm/ejaculation, but without any longing towards

awakening consciousness. Black Tantra always concludes with

orgasm/ejaculation in order to awaken consciousness. It is said that

White Tantra awakens consciousness to the absence of desire, while

Black Tantra awakens consciousness into desire. In Buddhist tantra,

actual ejaculation is very much a taboo, as the main goal of the

sexual practice is to use the sexual energy towards achieving full

enlightenment, rather than ordinary pleasure.

 

Sexual intercourse, preferably with a low-caste partner, was one

method by which traditional left-hand practice forced practitioners

to confront their conditioned responses. Others include the eating

of meat (particularly beef and pork) and drinking of alcohol. Fear

has also been used as a method to break down conditioning; rites

would often take place in a cremation ground amidst decomposing

corpses. This, of course, also falls under the prerequisite of the

practitioner's nature, in such cases demanding a vir- (heroic) or

even devya- (godlike) -bhava (disposition of purity, self-control,

suppression of pride, respect to parents and guru and often

celibacy).

Tantra, being a development of Atharva Vedic and pre-Brahmanical

thought, embraced the Hindu gods and goddesses, especially Shiva and

Shakti, along the Advaita (nondualist Vedic) philosophy that each

represents an aspect of the ultimate Param Shiva, or Brahman. These

deities may be worshipped externally (with flowers, incense etc.)

but, more importantly, are used as objects of meditation, where the

practitioner imagines him - or herself to be the deity in question.

The ancient devadasi tradition of sacred temple-dance, seen in the

contemporary Bharata Natyam is the example of such meditation in

movement. The divine love is expressed in Sringara and Bhakti.

The Tantra has (mainly) 92 scriptures:

 

1. Bhairava Tantra: 64 are purely Abheda (literally " without

differentiation " , or monistic)

2. Rudra Tantra: 18 are Bhedabheda (literally " with differentiation

and without differentiation " or monistic cum dualistic).

3. Shiva Tantra: 10 are completely Bheda (literally " differentiated "

or dualistic).

The latter two (Rudra Tantra and Shiva Tantra) are used by the

Shaiva Siddhanti, and thus are sometimes referred to as Shaiva

Siddhanta Tantra, or Shaiva Siddhanta Agama

 

The Tantra Sruti is revealed by Lord Shiva (in the name of

Svacchandanath), Who created each Tantra as a combination of His

five universal energies:

 

1. Chit Shakti (energy of all-consciousness),

2. Ananda Shakti (energy of all-bliss),

3. Iccha Shakti (energy of all-will),

4. Jnana Shakti (energy of all-knowledge),

5. Kriya Shakti (energy of all-action).

 

 

Lord shiv (Svacchandanath) illuminated the universe, beginning the

Sat Yuga by revealing these Tantra. Through the ages, as the great

masters of the Tantra hid themselves to escape the touch of the

increasingly worldly people, these teachings were lost during the

Kali Yuga. As a part of Shiva's grace, Shiva took the form

Srikanthanatha at Mount Kailash, and revealed these Tantra, to

Durvasa Rishi, and then disappeared into the ether.

 

In the Nath Tradition, legend ascribes the origin of Tantra to

Dattatreya, a MahaYogi .

 

The origin of Modern Tantra for common people is ascribed to

Paramhans Guru Nikhileshweranand jee Maharaj, Kina Ram , Gorakhnath,

Matsyendranath (Sabar Style).

 

Matsyendranath is credited with authorship of the Kaulajnana-

nirnaya, a ninth-century Tantra dealing with mystical subjects, and

occupies an important position in the Hindu Taantrik lineage, as

well as in Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism.

 

The Tantra also contains descriptions and specifications for the

construction and maintenance of temple-structures.

 

 

 

 

YANTRA

 

All ancient cultures had sacred geometric designs representative of

their Gods, which had a mantra (or sacred sound vibration) that

corresponded to it.

In the Vedic culture, we find much power and energy said to be held

within sacred geometric symbols.

Yantras are not lucky charms to be worn or displayed as icons of

power in and of themselves.

Much specific knowledge and ability must go into their preparation

and much dedication and worship is required to achieve the desired

effects.

 

Yantra means a talisman, or instrument or AmuletorKavachwhich, if

prepared and created by a qualified person as well as utilised under

his specific instructions for fruitful results, will help to gain

the objector objects of desire or ambition.

Although it would not be a difficult task for most of us to copy the

form of a yantra, it would not have the desired effect.

It is useless if not created by a qualified person and

theninfusedwith the specific energy via the medium of Mantra and

tantra.

Otherwise, it becomes just an interesting form or picture to look

at, but has no real effect on time or circumstances within life.

 

Yantras should always be used on the level.

If drawn on paper the colours preferable are red, orange, yellow or

a combination of these. A Yantra without bija Mantras is dead.

They can be drawn to whatever size is required. In worship they

should be placed level on a pedestal or pitha.

Before any Yantra is a suitable object for puja, it must be given

life (pranapratishta).

 

A Yantra is essential in every field of your life, to attain success

in your profession, to acquire wealth, to win in court cases, to

ward off diseases and to progress in meditation.

By having a Yantra and keeping it in a sacred place in your house,

worshipping it everyday can fulfill your desires and help in

attaining your goals.

 

There are different types of Yantras for different purposes. They

can help you to attain success in your business, bring the person

under your control, and bring wealth and prosperity to you. The

Yantras have to be purified and energized before using it. Yantras

energized during the nights of Maha Shivratri, Holi and Diwali are

most effective and powerful. Normally the related Mantras are also

chanted in the presence of the Yantras for quick results.

 

It is auspicious to see the Yantra daily in the morning and one

should lit incense/dhoop or lamp with ghee before the Yantra every

morning. By doing this the native is blessed with success and

wealth. We send these Yantras only after Pran pratishta (energising

or performing Pooja on them).

 

 

Yantra literally means " support " and " instrument " , the suffix 'tra'

in Sanskrit means instrument. Yantras are the geometrical form of a

divinity. Yantras can be drawn, engraved or painted on gold, silver,

copper, crystal, birch, bone, paper and Vishnu stone (shaligrama)

and sometimes on earth (Rangoli) for decoration. They are rarely

three-dimensional.

 

A Yantra is a highly efficient tool for contemplation, concentration

and meditation. Yantras carry spiritual significance and there is a

specific meaning of Yantra that pertains to higher levels of

consciousness.

 

The Yantra provides a focal point that is a window into the

absolute. When the mind is concentrated on a single, simple object

(in this case a Yantra), the mental chatter ceases. Eventually, the

object is dropped when the mind can remain empty and silent without

help. In the most advanced phases, it is possible to attain union

with God by the geometric visualization of a Yantra.

 

The Yantra reflects the powers of the specific deity and by tuning

into the different Yantras you can tap into certain deities or

creative force centers in the universe.

 

Yantras are usually designed so that the eye is carried into the

center, and very often they are symmetrical.

 

The most celebrated Yantra in India is the Sri Yantra, one of the

Yantra of Tripura Sundari Mahavidya.

 

Yantra is a form of energy. The idea is that every shape emits a

very specific frequency and energy pattern. Certain 'powers' are

ascribed to the various shapes. Some have 'evil' or negative

energies and some 'good' or positive energies, but in Yantra Yoga

only the benefic and harmonious energies are used.

 

When one focuses on a Yantra, the mind is automatically " tuned in "

by RESONANCE into the specific form energy of that Yantra. The

process of RESONANCE is then maintained and amplified. The Yantra

acts as a doorway and Mirror. The subtle energy does not only come

from the Yantra itself, but from the Universe.

 

Basically Yantras are secret keys for establishing RESONANCE with

the benefic energies of the Universe. Yantra can put us in contact

with extremely elevated energies and entities, being of invaluable

help on the spiritual path.

 

Yantra Which we produce have different dieties inhabited in them

through Mantra Yog and Taantrik Procedures.

 

Our body is a Yantra in itself

 

Mantra is a set of particular words in a particular configuration

and rhythm, eg - Calling somebody through a meaning full word.

Chanting Mantra in particular pre-decided tone and pitch one can

fulfil one's wish.

 

Tantra, the way means a method to perform a worship in a systematic

way.

 

Yantra is a geometric figure inscribed on a metallic plate or paper

and is the confluence of the powers of the concerned God.

 

Taantrik tantrik, tantric or thantrik are the same name for the

practitioner of Tantra.

 

" Tantra is beliefs and practices which, working from the principle

that the universe we experience is nothing other than the concrete

manifestation of the divine energy of the Godhead that creates and

maintains that universe, seeks to ritually appropriate and channel

that energy, within the human microcosm, in creative and

emancipatory ways.

 

They can only and only be recieved from a Guru.

 

THIS IS THE VEDIC INFO THAT I HAVE RESEARCHED AND EXPLAINING TO

ALL,PLEASE DO UNDERSTAND AND ENCOURAGE THE VEDIC TECHNOLOGY.THANK

YOU.
