|| Jai Sadguru Dutta ||

 

"h" represents AkASha- brahman - sat

 

Sri Adi Shankara explains this in his LalithA triShati BhAShya:

 

" 'h' kArasya AkASha bIjasya arThA, arTha swaroop chaitanyA, AkASha

vigrahEtyarThah " ---

 

Hence " ham AkASha tatwAtmikAyei puShpam samarpayAmi"

 

Here, 'h' + 'l' + 'aum' ---->hlaum or hloum

 

'l' is prthvee (earth) beeja corresponding to Lord Ganapathy.

Hence 'hlaum' is the beeja mantra of mrthyunjaya-ganapathy.

The above explanation is in accordance with "Mantra Shastra".

The prayog of these type of beejas in mantras is a very secret vidya

and should not be used out of curiosity. I am just wondering how you

came across this beeja mantra and would like to know more about it.

All the best.

Om Gurave Namah

Dear Srinath ji

Many thanks for your guidance. Of course, I understand the importance

and seriousness of usage of beejas especially the one such

as "Hloum". I did hear this from an astrology pundit long ago and had

virtually forgotten about it. I have, in the recent past, been

interested in mantras as remedies to illnesses and wanted to learn

the meaning and the usage of beejas in the correct manner. This is

purely academic.

Can you go one step further? Do you know of scriptural references

that I can take help from, with regard to beeja mantras, in addition

to your guidance? Like for instance you have said 'l' for prithvi

beeja for Lord Ganapathy. Is there a kind of ready-reckoner? What

about the 'h'- the akasha component? Does that not form part of the

final assignment?

The pundit who mentioned this, briefly hinted that this

for 'practical' purposes, is for Lord Shiva, though he did not

elaborate on the form or rupa of Shiva. Another member Sri. Gaurav

Shrimali has also posted on this matter.

Hloum, to me, is something new, though I have heard and read some

mantras composed, with 'haum' beeja especially for Lord Shiva or some

roopa of His.

I shall be glad if you respond and give me more food for thought.

Sincerely

R. Kasthuri Rangan
