Guest guest Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Dear Gurubhai/Bahan, Jai Gurudev! There is one "Utkeelan Vidhi" mentioned on page 208 of "Mantra Rahashya" book written by Gurudev. It is given in Sanskrit. Starts with Parvati Uvachya then Shiv Uvachya. Can any one of the group who knows Sanskrit explain it in Hindi/English. Further, there is "mool mantra" given but where it ends is not clear. There are few mantras marked as stanza 1, 2, ....10 is that also part of mool mantra. Again how many times to recite the mool mantra.. Please see the sanskrit text and explain if it is explained there. Further, on page 203 something regarding Utkeelan written again in sanskrit please explain that too. If desired, the explanation can be posted on group, if not, I request to send it to me on my mail id.Thanks in advance for the help.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Shree Guru Charan Kamlebhyo Namah Fine then, lets start with revision of general structure of a Mantrokt Sadhna 1) First of all, before any mantra chanting, you have to hold water in a teaspoon or palm, announce these parts of a mantra, and then at end of it, let water flow on earth, as symbolic of the resolution being absorbed by earth and cosmos. Parts of Viniyog are a) Rishi (Seer who first attained or mastered the mantra) b) Chhand (meter of mantra = pattern of pronunciation) c) Devta (Deity) d) Beej (seed, power source of mantra) e) Shakti (enhancing power, like to mature the seed) f) Keelak (unlocking password) g) Abheesht Arth (your purpose of chanting) After Viniyog Comes Nyas = Establishment of Divine Energies in body parts 2) Rishi Nyas (Divine Grace establishment of parts of viniyog) 3) Kar Nyas (Energy Establishment in Fingers) 4) Hridi/Shad-Anga Nyas (Energy Establishment in 6 Body parts)... Then other types of Nyas if need be, especially Dig Nyas (10 direction locking by establishing energies in 10 directions around you) 5) Then Comes Dhyan (Meditation on Image of Deity with apt dhyan mantra) 6) Then Comes Avahan (Invoking the main deity in corresponding idol or picture or yantra of that particlular mantra) 7) Then Mudra (Hand or body posture to please the deity) 8) Then Shakti Peeth Puja and/or Yantra Avaran Puja if need be 9) Then Puja (making offerings, 5 or 16 or 18... 64) 10) Then Mantra Japa (Chanting) 11) Then Stotra (hymn to please deity) 12) Then kavach (wearing astral amour by special hymn) 13) Then Shama Prathna (ask for forgiveness) 14) Finally, jal or prasad Vitran (distributing water or offering left after ritual) - - - Quick Points Chhand or meter of mantra is the pattern of pronunciation, Knowledge of meter of a mantra is of paramount importance, because unless you know the right pronunciation of mantra, everything ahead of that, no matter how precise other parts of ritual maybe, the whole ritual of mantra sadhna will be a failure. And yes, nyas is a must, infact a double must when you add something in viniyog as a specific purpose, because its well know fact, when you just say " to please diety i chant " , then you may skip nyas and other procedure, but when you say " to please this deity and get this wish fulfilled " , then it becomes Sakaam prathna (prayer with desire), then sadhna becomes a kalisht and mantra becomes your enemy, would even try to give you physical discomfort by the vibrations if you dont have proper grace of your guru and nyas of seers, so one has to be very careful. Thats why, even before Viniyog of main mantra, consider Guru, Ganesh and Kul deva pujan a must, it may be very short but consider it a must. Procedure and Mudra for doing nyas differs from mantra to mantra, but usually the tip of five fingers like in " Shukri Mudra " is used to physically touch the body parts and then imagine energy flow with the mantra vibration Rishi Nyas is usually* (Shir) Forehead for Seer (Rishi) (Mukh) Mouth for Meter (Chhand) (Hridi) Heart for Deity (Devta) (Guhya) Genital for Seed (Beej) (Padyo) Feet for Enhancing Power (Shakti) (Nabho) navel for lynchpin or unlocking password (Keelak) (Sarv Ang) Massage of all these in reverse order for Viniyog Now again, remember i said " usually " , because for some mantra nyas for shakti is done in genital and nyas for beej in feet... and so on, so it all varies from mantra to mantra Similarly, a general procedure for Anga Nyas or Varna Nyas etc cannot be given, they vary... If you want a precise procedure for certain mantra, then write it all, we will all try to answer it to best of our knowledge This should deal with Buddhas Question - - - Now coming to Lambers questions The Sarva Mantra Tantra Yanta Utkeelan Vidhi on page 208 of book Mantra Rahasya... See, there are many great books on Mantra Shashtra available in market, may it be Mantra Mahodadhi or Mantra Mahrnava or Mantra Chintamani... but that book by Gurudev is still a stand alone book. Lets first understand the terms correctly Keelak = Lock n key Keelan Vidhi = Procedure of Locking Utkeelan Vidhi = Procedure of Unlocking Basically you are interested in knowing the all applicable unlocking procedure, well in that sense you fell on right spot on that page of that book, because those 3 pages of that book are like the master key for opening any mantra, yantra or tantra. You want explanation or let me say the translation of sanskrit text, well writing sanskrit part of it in english fonts here, then translating them to hindi in english font and then translating them to english in english, that would become quite an exercise for me or anyone! And anyways, you need not be so curious about that sanskrti part because, like every tantra treatise is, it always starts as a conversation between Shakti and Shiva, where shakti asks shiva a question and shiva answers it as his master and then tells her to keep it a secret. Even for the sanskrit part on that page, basically mother parvati is saying all the 7 parts of mantra are important (she names them in 2 paragraphs) , but the keelak is most important and without is there is no siddhi (attainment) and only shanshya (doubt), so please tell me all revealing method Then Shiva tells method... and in the end, as always, promises this will work for every mantra tantra and yantra. Now coming on to the practical application of that Sarva Utkeelan Vidhi Basically, it is recitation of a mool mantra followed by tripura stotra (thats where you see the stanzas with numbering) So yes, you have to read its 1) Viniyog... and especially add your purpose " like for unlocking xyz mantra yantra " 2) Nyas (rishi, kar, anga) 3) Dhyan 4) Avahan and Sthapna 5) Mool Mantra** This whole mantra is to be chanted once, but make sure you chant is properly, as its written there... for example, if its written something like " " Soham (11 times), lam (11 times) " " , then dont proceed to lam till you have read soham 11 times, then finally mool mantra ends with a swaha. 6) As for the tripura stotra, reading that right after the mool mantra is a must, as its complementary to it, it rises powers of all possible varnas (syllables) of sanskrit, plus it does all shrap vimochan (curse removal). Finally coming to your last point, actually what you are asking is written on page 230 and not 203. Thats another procedure for unlocking a mantra. It basically says You have to write the mantra on bhoj patra with Asht Gandha ink 108 times, then do its panchopchar puja, then offer food to brahman, then do tarpan (water sprinkling for ancestors) in a copper plate or better in a river, that will unlock the mantra. - - - Conclusion and Practical Hints This depth of knowledge of parts of vinyog, nyas etc... all this required only when you are doing some Mantrokt Sadhna. Its not that a mantra just doesn't work without knowledge of all these parts, because the most important point remains to be your procedure for attaining these mantra, your purpose of using them and your procedure. For example, many prayogs come in Mantra-Tantra-Yantra Magzine which has many prayogs which often use many famous mantras which have their own unique viniyog and nyas dhyan etc, but you are supposed to use those same mantras as per the prayogs written there. And even if you are going to do a mantrokt sadhna of some specific mantra, then anyways you are supposed to take a diksha first, and you will be told all the precise procedures relating to that mantra then and there itself. Same is for lambers curiosity on keelak, because most of the times the prayogs offered in MTY or even other books of gurudev, are usually tantrokt or sabar in nature which do not require procedure or unlocking like in mantrokt sadhna. I am pretty sure that in 99% cases, you wont need that all unlocking key if you are following MTY or books or gurudev only, as techniques written there are complete in themselves. And even more so, a keelak is not always a one word, sometimes some special series of words or special kriya can be a keelak or sometimes some special set of mudras can also be a keelak, so best is to get this knowledge from Gurudev himself. That remains to be final word, to avoid any doubts and to get safe and sure shot success, get it from Guru mukh.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Shree Guru Charan Kamlebhyo Namah Dear Himanshu ji, Once again, an excellent post, very informative and did explain a lot of things unknown to me so far. But let me come to the specific question I had in the first place because of which I posted this query. I have read that for the 22-syllable MahaKali Mantra: " Kreem kreem kreem hum hum hreem hreem Dakshina Kalike Kreem kreem kreem hum hum hreem hreem Svaha " , the nyasa has to be done with the 51 letters of the Sanskrit alphabet. Because the book (Mantramahodadhi of Mahidhara) doesn't give any more details on this. It then goes on to say how to do the next set of nyasas. So, could you please give an idea about how this is to be done? Or, you could perhaps detail the entire procedure for the Mahakali sadhana? Secondly, I have still have a doubt in my mind regarding the difference between a " mantrokt sadhana " and a " tantrokt sadhana " . What I understand is that in the former (mantrokt), it can be done without the use of ANY OTHER additional materials like yantras etc, whereas for the latter (tantrokt), yantras and other special sadhana samagri are required. Could you please correct me if I am mistaken? Also, what are the other differences between the two? Which is easier to gain in siddhi? And which is more powerful and effective? (though I guess that tantrokt sadhana would be more powerful). Thirdly, since this is the most auspicious time of Navaratri, what kind of sadhanas are more duly effective now than at any other time of the year? Can one do ANY kind of Shakti Sadhana now or should that be restricted only to Durga sadhana? Eagerly awaiting your quick reply. Wishing all Gurubhais a Very Happy Durga Puja! Om Shri Durgayei Namah!

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Shree Guru Charan Kamlebhyo Namah Hi there I did see your post... after Dushera (that means after Navratri!) but only today I get time to answer any mails. So in Order 1) About Maha Kali Sadhna Firstly, the Mantra that you have quoted from Mantra Mahodadhi, is mantra for " Dakshin Kali " , mantra for " Maha Kali " is different. There are many forms of kali like " Bhadra Kali, Guhya Kali, Shamshan Kali... so you need to be precise about it. As for most famous form, Dakshin Kali, although all forms look kind of similar, but distinct feature is she is " Vara Abhaya Prada " , that is, out of her 4 hands, she shows " fear dispelling mudra " in the right lower hand, plus she is totally black standing on Shiva's chest in Shamshan (cremation ground). Secondly, there are many mantras for appeasing Dakshin Kalika alone (and you cannot say one is better than another, that depends on what guru sees is best for " you " ), and same sadhna of even same mantra can be done in many ways, dakshin marga or vaam marga, hence the practical application/use of mantra is different. (The site of sadhna, time, and colours of article... even type of rosary used may vary... like from Black Hakeek to Quartz Crystal) Thirdly, being associated to our Guruji, you should refer to the book " Maha Kali Sadhna " , it's a small booklet with a small but yet very active technique of Kali Sadhna. You can find all the precise nyas and yantra avaran puja technique there. Mantra used there is the same in book " Shakt Pramod " , I call that as one of the only authentic book on Shakti Sadhna, but mind you, that book is totally in Sanskrit and has a very technical language, only for people who have very good base of tantra knowledge. And by the way, same mantra is given in book Mantra Rahasya, strange how you missed it... Lastly, on this point, I would like to strongly suggest that you take utmost care in Kali Sadhna, as it is, it is a Maha Vidya Sadhna and that too of Kali Kula, Ugra Sadhna (especially if done by vaam marga), kalisht Sadhna. Unless you are crazy, its better to strictly stick to diksha in this one, or else losses can be there. - - - 2) Tantrokt Sadhna and Mantrokt Sadhna Oh well, this question can be answered in one page or even a book of thousand pages! To keep it simple and light, let's start with basic what's a Sadhna? Sadhna = A Technique of Spiritual Practice Sadhan = Means (here for spiritual practice) Sadhya = The Desired Result as self spiritual growth (which would mean rise of consciousness, hence closeness to god and increase in instinctive Sattvikta) and/or material gain Tantra = A systematic form of worship and meditation, for harnessing energies of higher realms (spiritual world) for spiritual and/or material growth. Still, in literal sense Tantra = Tan ka Tran (protection by expansion of body) Mantra = Man ka Tran (protection by expansion of Mind) Tantrokt = Tantra se ukt / Tantra Pradhan Sadhna (Tantra Oriented ) Mantrokt = Mantra se ukt / Mantra Pradhan Sadhna (Mantra Oriented ) Basically, in a Tantrokt Sadhna, a mantra or a yantra or even articles, may or may not be used, but there is always a " kriyatmak paksha " (active action aspect), hence the timing and technique is more elaborate and more important. There can be a tantrokt Sadhna with a mantra and yantra and articles There can be a tantrokt sadhna with only a yantra There can be a tantrokt sadhna with only specific Articles There can be a tantrokt sadhna with just mudra or kriya For understanding science of Tantrokt Sadhna, knowledge of Tatvas upto physical realm of universe is essential. Like knowing kali til (black seasme) is kark tattva (causal element) of Shani (Saturn). So for Tantrik totka of reducing Saturn's effect on a person, he simply donates black seasme on Saturday (causal day of Saturn). Salt is kark ras (taste) for Saturn, Black is causal colour. Or like ting thread 108 times around a Peepal Tree, or offering milk 108 times to shiva lingam (which may be with or without a mantra), or doing visargan of certain articles like 108 coal for pacifying saturn... and so on. That's why no totka is blind superstitions... there is science behind every one of them. And if done in right manner, they can be equally effective as long mantrokt sadhna. Although there is both way of looking at it... the heart oriented bhakti person will like to think that these are favorite things of Saturn, while a head oriented, tantrik will see it as necessary residence of Saturn. That's why sometimes misguided/evil tantrik can force even good energies to work for them (although the Law of karma supercedes all, sooner or later they pay for it) See you must know the 36 Tatva Table, which starts from Parbhram or Shiva-Shakti Union at top, and then comes down to Panch Tanmatra (receptions of senses) , Gyanendri (sense organs), karmendri (action organs).... Similarly, one has to know which shakti (spiritual energy of higher realm, energy of even deities) resides in which tavta (element) of physical world. Once you have that knowledge, then you can make them bound to come. That's why all this planning of a Sadhna, is best done by Siddhas. They can create new patterns of fast and sure shot sadhnas for us as they know everything from the Highest Layer of Metaphysical World to the Lowest Layer of Physical World... and they know how to make the highest layer energies work for you by working with lowest layer of physical realm as well! - - Mantrokt Sadhna requires lesser external things... but much more of character, pre requisites from a Sadhak. Like a stronger body for longer meditative periods and more stable mind. He has to be a stubborn/gritty customer sort. In a mantrokt sadhna, the mental focus and will power of a Sadhak is at test. Also the karma-kand (rituals) associated with a Mantrokt Sadhna are different, as they relate more to the subtle realms. Use of yantra and articles can be there, but differently. Since mental focus is used, hence japa is mostly Upanshu or Manas only (not Vachik). Try it... Chanting something like " Om Namah Shivay " , first chant one rosary in Vachik where you orally and loudly say it 108 times Then do it Upanshu, where your lips and tongue may move but there is not voice Then do it Manas, where you Chant with without moving your lips or even tongue It becomes increasingly subtle, plus the type of focus you attain is also more subtle, so such a sadhna is for people who are more comfortable in subtle. From this little experiment, even you might have liked the Manas one most but don't let that deceive you, because in reality, to do Manas Japa constantly is more difficult than doing upnashu or Vachik. Doing Vachik is easiest, as your tongue and lip, the physical body becomes mechanical. Even if your mind hovers around in patches and you are not able to land 100% focus on each mantra, or in worst case out of 100 you totally focus on only 2-3, still atleast the chant is continuous. and even that meeting of mind with deity for maybe 10 proper mantra may pay off. While in Upnashu, especially in Manas (Mental Chanting), there is greater chance of you loosing a mantra all together in between when some other thought comes. You may get lost in other thoughts as the focus, the consciousness may not remain alert for longer periods or continuously. Although, after practice, like physical body became mechanical in vachik japa, the mental body (precisely, a center in subconscious mind) also tends to become mechanical in Manas Japa (that accounts for Ajapa Jap too), but this takes time, patience and character to work upto building that center within oneself. See, thinking is always from past or future... thinking is always talking within... if you notice your mind, there are thoughts, and you sense them primarily by sound (later by vision, still sound is most subtle), and when you truly start to become Mantra Chaitanya, then there is only one sound in mind, that of mantra. So chanting gives mental silence and focus! That is true " Tran of Man " ! So your own success in chanting you can asses by the nature of thoughts, like in mind other thoughts hover 95% while real chanting only 5%... later with practice reverse happen, the chanting hovers 95% and other thoughts little, that sound of mantra starts to absorb everything else and with such focus you accost the deities energy. Again, this takes practice... extreme hard work, and even more importantly let me say it takes belief on ones part, because unless one has total belief in his guru, his technique, he will never be able to put his full effort in any sadhna either. And you know, more than anything it's your totality of effort that counts! And belief is the base of it. Mantrokt Sadhna is not for doubtful or half minded pretenders; such a person may succeed in Tantrokt, but never in Mantrokt, because here you have to give yourself! You have to offer your mental body to the deity! You mind body and soul have to come in one line in totality. So these things are for him, who wants to put full faith in his sadhna and then give it his absolute, everything while doing sadhna. Not worried about technique, not worried about any other extreme thoughts coming in mind, not even worried about doubts of failure or success in sadhna, but just giving his all, full passion and energy... he is a true Mantrik. - - Q. Which is easier to gain in siddhi? This depends on the Sadhaks Prakriti and Pra-vritti(soul nature and mindset) A sadhak who's soul's nature is to do a mantrokt sadhnas, will not like tantrokt ones too much... he will be like " why do so much drama of getting so many physical things and movements, I can rather use mind as my prime instrument to directly harness spiritual energies " While a sadhak who's soul's nature is to do a tantrokt Sadhna, will not really feel attuned into relentless mantra chanting, he will not be able to become one with it, will not get experience from it, and even after effort fail, rather he will be more single minded and attuned when doing the " kriyatmak paksha " , he will actually feel it. In Kali Yuga, most people have higher chance of success with Tantrokt Sadhna, as the level of consciousness has come down from primarily staying in Mental body... down to Physical Body. Even preferred paths to Moksha itself have changed from " Gyan Yoga " as fastest in earliest stage of Satyuga, to Japa Yoga in Kali Yuga. In Satyuga Vedic mantra and rituals may have been best... but in Kali Yuga, tantra and especially that of Agam Marga are best suited for most souls, hence many Tantras were specially designed by Shiva especially for material and simultaneously spiritual growth in Kali Yuga. So in general a vedic mantra based Mantrokt Sadhna maybe most arduous... while a sabar mantra based Aghort prayog maybe shortest. But this does not mean that sabar mantra or aghor prayogs are more powerful than vedic mantras, it's just that for some kind of people these are easy to get success in Kali Yuga. (Also another reason why physical comforts are so very important now, earlier the emotional bodies and intellectual bodies comforts were most important, now the physical comfort have become more important, although, with time as these people grow spiritually and their level of consciousness rises to more subtle realms, for them also higher bodies need become more important, a distinct priority over physical needs) - - Q. which is more powerful and effective? Again simple rule, " jo tum se sadhey, wo shresth " (that which you can work out, is best for you). See comparison of power has to be on some basis... lets say person A did a Mantrokt Sadhna for getting a son while Person B did a Tantrokt Sadhna for getting a Son, lets say both succeeded in their respective Sadhnas, so which one will you call better? Same can be said for comparison of success in " ShreeM " based mantrokt sadhna Vs a " ShreenG " based Tantrokt sadhna... result can be same, then why meaningless comparison? Still in technical sense, some people might not agree with me and there suggestions are welcome... I would have to say that a Mantrokt Sadhna is slightly more powerful for the sheer fact that it is more subtle and independent upto physical world, as then it's your Mantra alone that does the work. While a Tantrokt Sadhna maybe faster and easier to get Siddhi... and a mantrokt sadhna may take more time and effort, but still in the sense of being more subtle and independent in manner of working after getting success in mantrokt sadhna, I would put this one above. Plus another factor is spiritual growth, a mantrokt sadhna even for material gains, builds ability of higher mental focus which can be used for self purification. Persons Mental Body becomes more illuminated, change is not just in situations outside him but inside him, he undergoes a change himself. When a person grows spiritually, he moves from gross to subtle, even the types of Sadhnas become subtle. Like Japa changes from Vachik to Upanshu to Manas... even the yantra move from physical yantras to set imaginative tools in Mental Plane, and kriya is minimized to within your mental body (no more need of the physical or ethric or even astral body later). And even the object of Dhyan is no lower spiritual energies, its directly Parbhram and Paratpar Guru, so you can get an idea of what happens in Siddhashram. Anyhow, these are very high level things, to be fair, beyond me too, I was just taught so I shared. - - - 3) Sadhnas for Navratri It's strange you put up this question here, because if you read the MTY regularly, then you would have already seen bunch of short prayogs. Where have you been? So yes, lot of other shakt sadhnas apart from Durga Sadhna can be done. Especially mahavidya prayogs… or even lakshmi prayogs. - - In end I would like to make a quite note which I may have like to expand for all group members, but will wrap it short. I always tried to analyze everything from Physical >> Mental >> Spiritual depths... But there is something very beautiful I learnt from Deepak Chopra regarding learning as well 1) Information 2) Knowledge 3) Wisdom First, a person receives thoughts as information only... later he learns use it himself, then it become his knowledge. And when masters it, then he knows the subtle aspects of it and it gets stored in him as short points of Wisdom. Information can come from a person your level Knowledge can come from a teacher Wisdom comes from a master We are all guru-bhai behans here, so I think this should be common information sharing platform. Although the Sadhna world has its own rules regarding Spiritual Secrecy of knowledge or even information, which I very much respect as it has deeper logics behind it. As for spiritual secrecy, it not as if we want to keep something a secret so that only we can benefit from it... no way, it just that we can ask such person (new comer) to get it from the source which gave it to us! That way our own maryada can be kept and other person can be helped. Apart from that, I think a greater information sharing can be done as for a new comer, more " Prakat Gyan " (manifest knowledge as information) is important these days. So let's not make the mistake which Brahmans and mean tantriks did in medieval ages, our guruji had to work tirelessly to illuminate the darkness put by them. Most of us may fear accruing karma, or ego or even failure in own sadhnas by being open like this here... but still, there is sharing which can be done within boundaries of spiritual secrecy too. So lets keep the light alive! Love Light and Peace!

But let me come to the specific question I had in the first place because of which I posted this query. I have read that for the 22-syllable MahaKali Mantra: " Kreem kreem kreem hum hum hreem hreem Dakshina Kalike Kreem kreem kreem hum hum hreem hreem Svaha " , the nyasa has to be done with the 51 letters of the Sanskrit alphabet. Because the book (Mantramahodadhi of Mahidhara) doesn't give any more details on this. It then goes on to say how to do the next set of nyasas. So, could you please give an idea about how this is to be done? Or, you could perhaps detail the entire procedure for the Mahakali sadhana? > > Secondly, I have still have a doubt in my mind regarding the difference between a " mantrokt sadhana " and a " tantrokt sadhana " . What I understand is that in the former (mantrokt), it can be done without the use of ANY OTHER additional materials like yantras etc, whereas for the latter (tantrokt), yantras and other special sadhana samagri are required. Could you please correct me if I am mistaken? Also, what are the other differences between the two? Which is easier to gain in siddhi? And which is more powerful and effective? (though I guess that tantrokt sadhana would be more powerful). > > Thirdly, since this is the most auspicious time of Navaratri, what kind of sadhanas are more duly effective now than at any other time of the year? Can one do ANY kind of Shakti Sadhana now or should that be restricted only to Durga sadhana? > > Eagerly awaiting your quick reply.
