  • Veda Mantras For Devatas For Prosperity

    I am furnishing Veda Mantras for Prosperity, Resolving problems.

     

    I have posted some articles on this subject which includes the Bheeeja Mantras.

     

    A word of Caution and a Warning.

    Hindu Scriptures Image credit. http://www.thebritishtoastrack.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/vedas.jpg

     

    These mantras are very potent and have to be practiced after getting initiated a Guru.

     

    These are not to be trifled with for these are not mere words, they are Sounds grasped by the Rishis by Intuition..

     

    Wrong pronunciation, practicing without initiation from a Guru, in extreme case may even be fatal.

     

    Wrong pronunciation might cause unpleasant effects.

     

    Get a competent Guru and be initiated.

     

    If your desire is strong enough the Guru shall find you.

     

    You may chant Guru Brahma sloka to get a competent Guru or pray Lord Subrahmanya, you shall get your Guru.

     

    A True Guru does not advertise, not easy to identify, nor does he accept money.

     

    He is bound to test you before initiation.

     

    With so many constraints why do I post these?

     

    There are three reasons.

     

    I am shocked to find that many great Religions, eg. African Religion, have been  wiped off, the people themselves not sure of their roots, by a systematic effort to erase these treasures.

     

    Despite all this our Scriptures have survived, thanks to the Oral Traditions and the unstinting devotion of selfless Brahmins, who, despite their poor economic conditions, have preserved these Jewels.

     

    My effort is to make these Public so that some people may be benefited, and more importantly these shall be saved and preserved for posterity.

     

    I find the present generation to be curious and follow things if explained patiently in a language they understand, that is Science.

     

    Through my post, with my limited Knowledge and resources, I am trying to communicate to the curious younger generation and hope they shall carry our traditions into the future.

     

    Another important factor is that these treasures are not a figment of imagination of fertile minds but a revelation arrived at after assiduous practice

     

    and

     

    they stand the test of Modern Science of to-day and transcends it.

  • Some Intricate Details Of Gayatri Mantra Japa

     

    Gayatri Mantra is the Highest mantra of Hinduism.

     

    Gayatri is a meter and has to be intoned.

     

    It has to be in Five Padas, Five Groupings.

     

    Gayatri is the Mother of all Meters,, Gayatrrem Chandasaam Maata,

     

    Gaytri Maatha
    Devi Gayatri

     

    ”

    May we meditate on the Glory of the Lord, the Remover of pains and sorrows, the Bestower of happiness, Who has created the universe, and Who is the embodiment of knowledge and light. May the Lord, enlighten our intellect in the right direction by destroying all our sins and ignorance.

    Meaning of each letter in mantra:

    ———————————
    OM = Almighty God
    BHOOR = Embodiment of vital or spiritual energy
    BHUVAHA = Destroyer of suffering
    SWAHA = Embodiment of happiness
    TAT = That (indicating God)
    SAVITUR = Bright, luminous, like and sun
    VARENIYAM = Supreme, best
    BARGO = Destroyer of sins
    DEVASYA = Divine
    DHEEMAHI = May receive
    DHIYO = Intellect
    YO = Who
    NAHA = Our
    PRACHODAYAT = May inspire.

    “May we meditate on the Glory of the Lord, the Remover of pains and sorrows, the Bestower of happiness, Who has created the universe, and Who is the embodiment of knowledge and light. May the Lord, enlighten our intellect in the right direction by destroying all our sins and ignorance.”

    This can be translated: Aum. Let us contemplate the spirit of the divine of the earth, the atmosphere and heaven. May that inspire our minds. Savitri is the Sun and this mantra is recited at the three junctions or twilight of the day. Here is described how the mantra Aum hums in the base or Muladhara chakra, and moves through seven stages to the chakra above the head Sahasrara.

     

    Maha Vishnu describes Aum as consisting of the following. Bhur is existence, Bhuvah is the elements, Svah is the Atma of everything, Maha is greatness and light, Tat is Brahman (the absolute). Tapah is all knowledge, Satyam is supremacy and internal wisdom. This tantra connects the three letters of Aum to the seven worlds.

     

    Tat, refers to the first cause of all substance, as fire in the circle of the sun and is supreme Brahman. Savituhu is the source of all living beings. Varenyam is the excellent one who receives adoration.

     

    Bharga destroys sin. Devasya means it is full of light, while Dheemahi refers to knowledge being golden and always within the sun. Dhiyo means Buddhi. Yo stands for energy (tejas).

     

    The mantra is divided into three sections of eight letters and four sections of six letters.

     

    A dhyana (meditation) – Gayatri as having four faces, which are white, yellow, red and black.

     

    Yet the tantrik tradition has different views of the Gayatri. For example, in the Matrikabhedatantra, there is a couplet, which says a person who knows the Brahman (the absolute) is a Brahmin.

     

    Gayatri is mother of Vedas. Sadhana of Gayatri mantra is the essence of all Vedas. Even God like Brahma mediates on and performs Jap of Gayatri at the time of twilight.

     

    Gayatri Jap performed daily for three years realizes God and like air, acquires the power of going where the person wants to go.

     

    Merely by offering water to the Sun and performing Jap of three thousand Gayatri mantra at the time of twilight, a person becomes adorable by God.

     

    ..

    In Bhavanopanishad, one witness within oneself the effulgent figure of Divine Mother with the different phases of the waxing and waning Moon.

    The Devi is to be meditated upon as of a ruddy complexion, with eyes expansive, as an ocean overflowing with waves of grace, with noose, goad, arrows of flowers and a twig of sugar- cane in her hand, surrounded by Anima and other deities and ultimately as one´s own self.

    1. Complete faith unflinching loyalty backed by a clear heart towards the deity is required for Sadhana.

    2. Do not start Mantra Shakti under any pressure. Trust in God, kindness and patience should be the virtues of a Sadhaka.

    3. Avoid harsh speech, lust, anger, restless thoughts, evil company and egoism.

    Do not get emotional.

    Mantras on hearsay should be avoided, as they must be authentic.

    4. Sadhana done without any specific aim bears fruits early.

    In case you see any miracle, do not fear. Keep your WILL POWER strong and continue your Sadhana.

    All troubles will vanish.

    5. Brahmacharya or celibacy should be observed during Sadhana. In case of failure, do not lose heart. Try it again and again and you will be crowned with success.”

    I will be posting the Text and Meaning of Bhavanopanishad in Tamil and English shortly.

    Quantum explained with Light
    Are these beams of light over Sydney, Australia made of particles or waves? The true physical nature of light had been debated for years. Planck and others showed that not only light but all matter exhibited properties of both a particle and a wave.(Cameron Spencer/Getty Images)

    I shall be posting on this shortly.

     

    Science, as we know , rests on certain Laws, which are assumed to be true,called Axioms.

     

    These laws under strict laboratory identical conditions will operate and the same Cause will produce the same result.

     

    The problem is you produce the conditions obtaining in Nature and you repeat them to produce the result, which obviously has to produce the same result.

     

    In other words, Science tells you How and never Why.

     

    But it assumes that it is final.

     

    When you can not describe or define Why , your word is not final.

     

    This applies to Science .

     

    Let us take the Laws of Newton.

     

    I shall not be discussing the exact definitions as it would be beyond the scope of this essay.

     

    I shall deal with it later.

     

    An object remains Inert until it is impelled by an External Force.

     

    From where does this external force come ?

     

    No answer.

     

    If it is assumed that it is in the Nature of things, as Axioms, then you are not solving the issue, but are ducking it and you are offering the Mechanics of Motion, that’s all.

     

    In my view this does not matter, as it does not tell me any thing new in terms of my inquiry content.

     

     

    For the average person, whether we know how a Thing moves does not matter so long it moves.

     

    Things were falling to the ground even before Newton discovered Gravity.

     

    Even if we are blissfully unaware of it , still Gravity would function.

     

     

    However these theories have their uses in that these help in developing technologies that help(?) Man.

     

    The second law that the rate of Momentum being directly proportionate to the force applied is also thrown out of this discussion as the first law on which this is derived from is not answering the question.

     

    The same to the Third Law of Motion.

     

    Science also harbors under the strain of Space and Time.

     

    Unless we understand Space and Time we may not be able to understand the Laws of Nature and These terms Space and Time remain undefined till date.

     

    At best, there are only descriptions and that too are being contradicted more or less on a daily basis.

     

    As Emmanuel Kant put it,”Space and Time are the Two goggles through which Man perceives” Remove these,you can not conceive of anything , let alone perceive!

     

    Coming back to the Theory of Motion, we now have research going on in CERN, Geneva, to find the God Particle.

     

    As we all know the Atom consists of Electrons, Protons and Neutron.

     

    Electrons and protons move around the Neutron. Now, when an object moves it creates energy.

     

    So where do the Energies from these electrons and protons go?

     

    Again, the movement of these seem to be directed.

     

    Scientist want to find it as they have theoretically found that there must be some particle or force that directs these electrons and protons .

     

    So the search goes on. Now apply this to the Movement of galaxies that spins and move, The same Laws apply.

     

    And there is is this Theory of Expanding Universe which states that the Universe is expanding with each object in the Universe hurling away from each other and this has been proved by the Infrared shift of the Spectrum.

     

    If these things keep on moving away from each other, where is does it end?

     

    Where is the Edge of the Universe? Einstein tried to solve this through he general Theory of Relativity.

     

    Appropriate at this point,  is that the Space and Time  become One Universe at one point  and that Time can travel both forwards and backwards.

     

    And it can recoil on it self and there are Time Worms.

     

    Then we have the Black-holes, which are assumed not to let even light rays to escape from it.

     

    And Time runs backwards there and, theoretically if one were to enter a Black-hole, he might enter the Past travel through the Future and emerge in the Present!

     

    And this gives rise, along with the effort to find the God particle leads us to Quantum Theory and Multi verses.

  • Devi Upasana Authoritative Texts To Follow

    The highest Mantra of Hinduism speaks of Devi as Gayatri.

    Lalitha Devi.
    Devi, Lalitha Image credit: http://shanmatha.blogspot.in/2009/09/connection-of-sastha-with-srividya.html

     

     

    The fact that The Devi worship was given importance may be known by  the highest place offered to the Devi in the form of the Gayatri Mantra.

     

    Devi is worshiped in the  Surya Mandala, and is compared to the Sun and the Sun worship is the primary duty of every Hindu.

     

    In the Sandhyavandan, the Devi is worshiped as the embodiment of the Veda.

     

     

    The Srividya is the  best path for realizing the Devi or Para Brahman.

     

    In a manner of speaking Sandhyavanadan is also Srividya as it worships the Devi.

     

    On the eve of the Mahabharata War, Lord Krishna advised Arjuna to perform the Devi worship and Arjuna did so.

     

    The Devi worship is mentioned in the following Puranas.

     

    Brahmaanda ,Devi Bhagavatham,Markandeya Puaranam.

     

    In addition Devi worship is described in detail in Agama Rahasyam,Samhita,Yaamalam,Aarnavam, Tantram.

     

    The Soundaryalahari of Adi Shankaracharya is a Devi Tantra Shastra as well.

     

    Fifty two Aksharas of the Devi are embedded among the Soundaryalahari 57 slokas composed by Shankaracharya.( the first 43 are reported to have been written by Lord Ganesh.

     

    Apart from these there are innumerable texts on Devi Upasana.

     

    Lord Shiva, after having divulged the secrets of the Shakti through many texts including Mantra and Tantra,has given the world the Sri Tantra.

     

    This is also called the Sri Pura Upasana, Sri Vidya,

     

    (Chatusshashtya Tantrayaihi.. Soundayralahari)

     

    Dattatreya, considered to be an Avatar of Lord Vishnu, in his Datta Samhita, Thripura Upasana( 18, 000 Slokas).

     

    Parashurama, again another Avatar of Lord Vishnu, abridged this and wrote the Parasurama Kalpa Sutram, in 6000 Slokas.

     

    Parasurama’s disciple Sumedhas wrote another sutra, showing the Sutra as a conversation between Lord Rama and Datatareya.

     

    This is now called The Parashurama Kalpasutra.

     

    This is the ultimate authority on the Devi Upasana.

     

    Bhaskararaya’s Disciple Umananda Nathar had wriiten Kithyothsava,an explanation of Parasuramkalpasutra.( Rameswara Sastry, who came after UmanandhaNathar had written “Sowbhaagyasudhodhayam.”

     

    This is what is practiced in South India.

     

    Bhaskararaya had written on The Vamakesara Tantra in his work ‘Sethubandham’, which explains the Niyhyashodasikavarnam.

     

    Bhaskararaya has also written the Varivasya Rahasya, which contains the inner meaning of Devi Upasana.

     

    LalithasahsranaamBhashya , Sethubandham and VarvasyaRahasyam are the three supreme Works of the Devi Upasana and are called the Ratnatraya

    of Devi Upasana.(The Three Gems)

     

    Adi Shankaracharya had also written on this subject, apart from the Soundaryalahari,in Prapanchasaara.

     

    In Tamil Devi Upasana is explained in the Thirumaniram of Thirmoolar and in the Abirami Andhaadi of Abhirami Bhattar.

     

    Very recently Ramana Maharishis’s disciple Kavyakanda Ganapathy sastri has written  Dasa Mahavidya.

     

    These are the sources of the Devi Upasana and no other text has the authority on this Subject.

     

    I am writing this, as, after posting a few articles on this subject,I have come to know that unscrupulous people posing as Gurus have misled people

    ,initiating them of SriVidya about which they know nothing,

     

    quoting some text,s and have landed people into serious physical and mental problems.

     

    I have warned of this in my post earlier.

     

    This post is to reinforce that point and remember SriVidya must not be practiced with out a competent Guru.

     

    As I said earlier, he does not advertise nor will he accept money.

     

    Beware of the others.
