Mahalaxmi - Ganapati: Beej Combo Mantra: Shreem Gam Shreem

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm new to the group.

 

I no very little about mantras,other than what I know from my

experience of Transcendental meditation!

 

I learnt TM back in 1985,My mantra which I had been told was a

meaningless sound which sounded like ''Sher-ing'' has a very close

resemblence to Tantric beej mantra for Goddess Lakshmi- SHRING,except

it was definately 2 syllables ''Sher- ing'' I would not have revealed

this mantra only for the fact that two friends of mine got the same

mantra,anyway all that to one side,I have a question!

 

My experience of TM has been very good,appart from the fact that I

share my ''personal mantra'' with other people,and I was wondering if

I could do TM type meditation with any bija mantra,for example the

Mahalaxmi - Ganapati: Beej Combo Mantra: Shreem Gam Shreem ?

 

I look foward to getting replies.

 

Jai Guru Dev,

 

Peter

Hi Peter,

 

Stick with your given mantra,as it seems to be working for you.

The beej combo is more suitable for chanting - I would suggest that

you do say 10 minutes of it after your normal TM,twice daily.Just sit

with your eyes closed and chant the mantra Shreem Gam Shreem to

yourself at an audible level - Gam should be pronounced ''Gum''

As you go through you day keep chanting this mantra to yourself

silently in your mind as much as possible,do it for 40 days.

TM mantras have an additional syllables to make them more pulsative

for transcending,but to put your mind at ease Shring works just as

well as ''Sher- ing'',and it's nice to associate the sound with such

a beautiful Goddess!

 

Namaste,
