Guest guest Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Namaste. I've been mentally chanting the Mahamritunjaya mantra while undergoing kidney dialysis at a clinic three times a week. It does at least distract me from all the needles that the bloodwork entails. I was reclining in a half-hypnotic state, watching the two tubes that draw veinous and arterial blood into the machine, where it is filtered before being recycled back into my system. Something about the position seemed vaguely familiar... Then I realized I was emulating much of the 'leela' of Ma Chinnamastika, the beheaded Mahavidya who 'recycles' her blood in three spurts, two to her dakini companions, and a third returning blood to her own severed head. The devas sometimes reveal themselves where we never thought we'd find them. There rally should be a large lotus-seat under the dialysis chair, perhaps with images of Kamadeva and Rati joined in maithuna! Jai jai Ma. -- Len/ Kalipadma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Karunamayi http://www.karunamayi.org says this mantra should be chanted verbally (orally) not silently. At times when i could not chant it loudly due to situations or circumstances i happened to be in, i chanted it softly but not silently. It worked. ________________________________ kalipadma108 <kalipadma108 I've been mentally chanting the Mahamritunjaya mantra while undergoing kidney dialysis [....] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Namaste: What a powerful experience your undergoing. Noticing the connection to the Mahavidya Chinnamasta is rather profound. Have you tried one of her Mantras? I do not know any (nor am I in any position to be giving them out) but it may be worth trying. Not that Lord Shiva's mantra isn't also apt, but .. -S. Santo Sengupta " Aum Shanti Shanti Shantih.
