mantra question/Rajeswaraji

[Guest guest]

Namaste Dearest Rajeswaraji,

 

Pranaams, always so good to see you around too. Your kind

contributions are also invaluable to all of us here. Agree with all

you've said. Most of all, thank you for adding the Phala Stuti to

the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra, this is grrrreat....! Yes, would love

to hear your recording of the concluding part, that is if and when

you have time. Is it possible to upload to the Files Section so our

friends here can also listen to it? It will benefit a lot of people.

 

Very well said about having to subject something to heat in order to

melt it properly. In complete resonance with you.

 

About Tansen in Akbar's court, yes heard the story and it brings a

certain bliss. Love the story about Tansen very much and never got

tired of it. Thank you for mentioning Kerala. I heard there are

numerous tantrik traditions in both South and North India in the

tantrik belts, and in Assam too. The only thing I'd explored about

Assam is its distinct curry that is copied by many parts of Asia,

particularly S.E. Asia.

 

Anyone here heard of Assam Fish Head Curry? If anyone happens to

have the recipe, would deeply appreciate if you can post it here.

Its something I miss very badly in the West Sorry friends, I

know I should be discussing rudraksha, ratna and holy items but

could not resist asking this question as there are many members from

Mother India on this list who may be able to share the authentic

recipe. Many Thanks.

 

Om Namah Shivaya

Best regards & respects

Sy

about the 'nyasa' part that preceeds the regular puja but got off.

nyasa and sankalp are very much essential for one who does regular

jaap of say- Gayatri or rudrabhisekha.i mean purification of self

before establishing a link between the atma and the paramatma.

repeating mantras with the covering is also done while reciting

certain mantras by Vedantics. otherwise these mantras are procedural

depending on the purpose for which they are recited like marriage,

upanayan, etc. and in some cases the mantras are followed by 'phala

stuti' or 'the concluding part'.

 

for ex the mrutyunjay mantra ends at 'mrutyor muksheeya mamrutaat'

but there is more to it..

> regardig tantik even though same mantra is repeated n+1 times, the

symbolic gesture will be changed which inturn changes the meaning of

the same word. thereby instead of oral vibration the bodily

vibration takes place. in a way perspectively both were same. tio

put more clearily- in order to melt something it has to be subjected

to heat.

 

you might have also heard that stones used to melt into water when

great singers like Tansen in Akbar's court sang. so tansen created

oral vibrations while in the former case it is being done

physically. the tantriik tradition is widely followed in Kerala

state of sounth india.
