Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 FW: What is mantra Mantra is a specific combination of Sanskrit letters arranged in a certain way to bring about a specific result. Each letter, representing a sound, or a vibration, possess power to change or affect matter or mind. The power of these sounds are rooted in the highest plane of the solar system, and therefore, work on every plan, from most subtle, to the most dance. The mantras was constituted by great sages, or seers who knew the highest low of sound and was able to compose mantras that would work exactly rite for certain purpose. What is japa: Japa is a repetition of a chosen mantra with the purpose of bringing specific changes in the mind- of yours or someone else- or bring changes in the surrounding, or direct power to reach specific goal and remove obstacles - that is, bring " good luck " , or change the matter directly. This changes are a result of bringing forces from higher planes and experiences higher states of consciousness, that at the moment of Japa make you a seer. How to chant: the motivation behind mantra There is a difference between mantra and a prayer: mantra is a saying composed from combination of sounds that has specific, almost mechanic effect on subtle levels and brings forth inevitable change, it is changes things or subconsciousness A prayer is an emotional act, it is when you send your love to god, it is a call that comes from the heart. Gayatri is both a mantra and a prayer, so it has the power of both. This is one of the most powerful and beloved mantra in India still, even little children recite it before they go to bed. Gods are not your slaves, they don't owe you anything, so they don't have to give you things you ask for. They provide help out of their eternal and unconditional love that they made of. So, to have a respond you have to come from the bottom of your heart. Pray passionately, put the power of true desire into your call - be it the power of love or hate, that depends on what you want and to whom you pray. Do not try to make any mental pressure on the god or a goddess - they withdraw from the pressure, besides, you are not powerful enough to put enough pressure to be Gods at your command. This way you are putting pressure on yourself- as Gods are the parts of you- and creating stress that might result in heads and other disorders. Gently bow, connect, send your love and admiration and ask sincerely to help you. This is how you treat yourself. So, after a treatment like this, you might become a god or a goddess yourself. With help of mantra you activate particular power within you and give you ability to reach your specific goal. This is based on the fact that God and all subgods are within you, they are the part of you, and you are them - so mantra of the deity help you to connect to that aspect of yourself and activate it. You see, there is no miracles in magic, it's just a routine work, and it's only a matter of doing or not doing it. This is als the technique for self healing or healing anyone else: when you know the nature of the disorder, or a part of your body that hurts, you make a parallel to a deity that correspond to this part of yourself and recite his mantra to activate and empower the weakened part of yourself. For example, recite Vishnu mantra if you have problems with heart, Shiva or Kali mantras if you have problems based on Immune system, Brahma mantra if your stomach hurts or you have problems with digestion. =========== Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
