Guest guest Posted June 5, 2004 Report Posted June 5, 2004 Namaste Latha and Nitya Ma, I read the transcript and it was truly beautiful commentary and questions on Chapter 6. A comment regarding the mantra Hum. I' ve thought of this quite alot and wondered if Hum also holds significance because it is a bij mantra for vishuudha chakra. So, Hum also activates our voice, illumines our choices and expression of our divine nature through the voice. Also, I think Hum is another way of describing anahata, the "unstruck" sound resonating within. So, if one does shan muki mudra, or the 6-way seal, you might experience the ringing or the Hum of anahata. Is this correct understanding? Thank you! Love, Lynne Quote
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2004 Report Posted June 6, 2004 Lynne, As I understand, Hum (Hoong) has the effect of awakening or activating Shakti within. It does not appear as a chakra bija in Swamiji's chakra maatrikaa nyaasa.
