Guest guest Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 Namaste Sankar! Whose post are you referring to? I have come across different interpretations on what exactly chandas is. The most common ones are 1) chandas is something to do with intonation, there has to be an inflection of the voice at certain points of chanting of the mantra 2) chandas is a lost science esp. in this age of kali and formerly this was known only to rishis of great accomplishments. So what exactly is chandas? Could someone kindly enlighten me?

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 I think I may be able to help, you see you have a mantra right, it has a viniyogah basically that is the core of the mantra being outlined. When you first say the viniyogah it acts as a sankalpa where you request the diety for a particular thing by saying this mantra, the rishi is the master who first realised this mantra before you start saying a mantra you must place saluations to your ancestors, guru then this particular rishi to give his/her blessings unto you. Most mantras have hidden bijas, once you get all the correct bijas, Shakti and keelkam you must join them together forming a new mantra. This has to be recited certain amount of times before and after saying a mantra since it acts as the utkilana mantra which frees the original mantra from any curse or bondage. To master a mantra you must say it a certain amount of times in a breath, let me explain. All mantras are energy signatures they must have the right rhythm and frequency to accurately resonate around your body. I can go on and on about this, and if you want me to I can. A mantra will NEVER work without these key features, when you get it from a guru you usually don't have to do the utkilana thing that's it. That is why it took me five years to call mother kali.
