Prantyangira, ugra & Shantha

[Guest guest]

I mentioned that ugraha moorthies should not be invoked from a book,

as per the request of the questioner.

 

In the quoted context in my previous comment, implicitly, if the

person is looking for the rituals of a homam in the form of a book,

it means there is a possibility that (s)he is on a search to do

things on his/her own. Which is not a good thing to do by oneself.

Or else, all one has to do is to ask his/her Guru for the ways and

means for the homam.

 

A deeksha is a different story as a Guru would have evaluated the

student and would have prescribed the correct rituals based on the

spiritual strength of the individual. A Guru will always be at hand

and will know if something is being done wrong during the Sadhana by

the student, w/o even the student telling the Guru.

 

As far as chanting mantras, they have their own good effects. As

long as the divine form does not come, the effects will be minimal.

If by some good fortune, if the divine form apprears, the person who

is not properly initiated might not know what to do without proper

guidence from a Guru.

 

It is not a great experience to see a ugraha moorthi arriving at

your door or even appearing for a microsecond in one's mind, even if

She was just paying a courtesy visit. In such cases the divine form

must be properly welcomed, given all the upasaarams deserved of such

a Guest and properly asked to take leave (yathaasthanam).

 

Let me explain in more colloquial terms. SHE will not leave unless a

proper yathaasthaanam is made. Which some may think as a good thing

to have in one's home. But, if She cannot leave, She is being placed

in a house arrest. Means, She cannot accept the offerings of Her

other Saadhakas. This will make her even angrier than what She is

already is. The effects can only be guessed, albeit poorly.

 

No further comments on this issue from my part.

with the view that only shantha moorthies should be invoked. It is

the guru who decides what is appropriate for each of his/her

disciple to undertake and gives diksha. Without guru, it is better

to follow paths other than mantra japa even for shantha moorthies.

We should look beyond the mere forms of the deities & not confuse

their looks to decide if they are wrathful. That is an affront to

the inherent divinity in them.

there are no rules, no rosary or yantra is required and no diksha is

necessary. And best of all, these can be recited mentally anywhere

while doing anything. To recite mentally, imagine hearing the mantra

again & again in your own voice.

solution for any situation. The best example of their power is the

Bhuvaneshwari Mantra -'Hreem' which is a Beej Mantra. The method is

simple. Pick a Beej Mantra based on the situation and recite it as

much as you can till the problem is solved. You can do it in office,

in gym, in restaurant and even while sleeping.

pronounciation is a must for these mantras to work. BEWARE, if

you'll try to use these mantras for wrong purposes, they WILL NOT

work and you'll face terrible consequences.

quench sharabheshwara ugra rupa. As Mr. S. Menon very correctly

put it, Pratyangira Sadhna is a very tough one & without a guru

should not even be thought about.
