Gurudev Visti ji: Samarpan Bhav or Vandana Bhav

[Guest guest]

Pranaam Gurudev

 

There is a small observation and I would like to understand clearly.

 

There are mantras in which we recite "Swaha" at the end of the mantra

which in a way this indicate our Samarpan or sacrifice for the god.

In Some mantras we add "Namah" which is like Vandan or paying our

humble respect to the god.

 

On holistic level it may be similar gesture but does it make any

diffrence in vibration of mantra on sooksma level.

 

Like You asked me to recite "Kleem Srivammanya Svaha" how it will be

diffrent from "Kleem Srivamanya Namah"

 

Is there any criteria one need to keep in mind?

 

Please put some light on this.

 

 

Pranaam

Dear Ajay,

Namaskar

Haven’t

you read “Vedic Remedies in Astrology”?

The

offering makes a big difference and also is indicative of which power we are

invoking in the devata. The three main powers are based on the sex; Male,

Female, Neuter. Example: Phat is the astra beeja, used at the end of mantras to

invoke the weapon of the deity, and is hence masculine in form. Svaaha is

feminine and is used to offer straight to the deity, in hope of some benefit. Hence

in offerings we use svaaha. This does not mean that the use of svaaha is not

used in astra mantras though, but a different energy is indicated, i.e. in the

worship of Sri Vishnu, the parampara does not advise the use of phat when

worshiping Vishnu with astras, as Sri Vishnu must decide whether or not to

strike with his astra (here offering of bow for rama, axe for parasurama, mala

for buddha and danda for vamana, etc). Hence we can offer the deity an astra to

use by ending the mantra with svaaha. Namah is an obeisance, usually associated

with the recognition of the devata as being seated in ones heart. But there is

much more to this which should be studied from the Nyasas of the particular

deity. Start with reading VRA.

 

Best

wishes,
