This is the site of Thomas Ashley-Farrand, who is initiated in mantra practice

and has written several books/produced CDs and tapes on mantra.

The Ancient Power of Sanskrit Mantra and Ceremony, Volume I: Transliterated Mantra Sourcebook

8 1/2 x 11", spiral bound

This book is a desk reference on the practical use of common Sanskrit mantras.

Additionally, it provides some material you may have difficulty finding even

with considerable research. This volume contains only transliterated mantras.

That is, the original Sanskrit mantras are rendered in the English alphabet, so

that English-speaking readers can easily learn to pronounce them. Usually in the

past these mantras have been published only in Indian books that use the

Devanagari script, which can be pronounced only by those familiar with Indian

languages.

Note: Volume I of this series has been abridged so that it does not duplicate

contents found in Healing Mantras, published by Ballantine Wellspring Books in

August of 1999. Healing Mantras is not sold on this Web site, but is available

through your local bookseller.

In its current form, this book includes the following:

Assorted mantras and astotaras (collections of 108 mantra names) for

GaneshaGanapathiDattatreyaShivaRamaKrishnaLakshmiDurgaSaraswati

Miscellaneous mantras for

hundreds of mantra powers for:

Shiva KavachaPurusha SuktamNarayana SuktamSri Suktam (including extra

verses)Navagriha, including the hard to find Navagriha PidaKuan Yin

DharaniLalitha Astotara

Finally, this volume includes mantras from Tibetan Buddhism

For a handy desk reference on Astotaras and Mantras, this volume is the most complete anywhere.

The three volume set of The Ancient Power of Sanskrit Mantra and Ceremony,

containing over 4,000 mantras and mantra powers, is the most complete

collection of transliterated Sanskrit Mantras available in the English

language.

The author has recorded cassette tapes of many of the mantras from this volume.
