Guest guest Posted July 31, 2003 Report Share Posted July 31, 2003 Dear Ganapathiji, When I say sung I don't mean some ricky martin or frank Sinatra thing, Vedas have swara and raga. For instance jAtavedase the A is pulled up and the e is a lower swara. I don't know about you but I would classify that as singing. My source on this is the sarvasAmrAja dAyaka kAli sahashrAnama stotra, SundarI lahiri and LS (some stuff to do with devi being pleased by singing music), mAtangi puran and kAlika puran also I think speak of singing pleasing devI. Generally, I do what I do and I personally get a lot of good results and but this I don't mean some stupid feeling of energy, but actual physical results. So I basically stay with what is helpful, besides if devI guides a person why give a damn about people, rules and books! Bhakthi and love saves all and mind you, love for the mother is greater then all mantras since basically that very love can make you invincible to any malefic effect. Mind you the bija hrIm is based on the durga sUkta and saying so in mantras like: hrAm hrIm hrooM hraiM hrauM hrAH dakshine kAlike hUM phaT this is basically a mantra which sung and it comprises of the hrIM strands. Besides a lot of these rules are manmade and one should see their true practical or dynamic nature. If you call devi as Shakthi then yeah if you say something wrong you are gone however call her as mother then what do you get, a child makes mistakes but the mother being the compassionate fountain of love she forgives. Note that kulArnava tantra continually states love only saves, many mantras incl. all those of the CHinnamasta paddhati and kurukulla paddhati require mantras to be sung. You have to know and ask do these rules really matter, because a lot of these are man made convetions. I have personally done stuff that even scares me at times (no vAmachara or krura sadhana) and basically I am still standing so this simply means a lot of these rules (not this specific one but ones of this genre) are basically not necessary. At one point people used to have similar inhibitions to hari om, note that now it is a commonly used mantra. By the way, how does one get about leaving this group?
