Bhaskar

Mikael asked:

Can you all tell me some basic information on the Chamundai mantra OM

AIM HRIM KLIM CHAMUNDAYAI VICCE and also does one add Namaha or Swaha

to the end of this same mantra? What kind of things is the Mantra used

for?

 

Namaste Mikael,

 

The mantra "Om Aim Hrim Klim Chamundayai Vicce" is known as the Navarna

mantra. The Chamunda mantra is a little different.

 

The navarna mantra is chanted by itself when one does japa and with a

"swaha" when chanted at the fire. I have not heard it chanted with a

"namaha" although I will certainly check with Swamiji.

 

This is the mantra of the Chandi Path - the basis of the entire story of

the Chandi. This mantra in conjunction with the chanting of the Chandi

Path helps tear down negative thoughts. Swamiji defines "Chand" as "to

tear" and "Chandi" as "She who tears down thoughts".

 

Here is the meaning of each of the bija mantras in the Navarna mantra

 

Om - The Infinite beyond conception

Arim - Creation, Rajo Guna, Energy of Desire, Mahasaraswati

Hrim - Preservation, Sattva Guna,Energy of Action, Mahalakshmi

Klim-Destruction,Tamo Guna,Energy of Wisdom, Mahakali

Chamunda -The Slayer of Passion and anger, Moves in the head

Yai-The Grantor of Boons

Vic- In the body of knowledge; in the perception

Ce - of consciousness

 

Hope this helps. Please do post if you have further questions.

Jai Maa

Nanda
