Many mantras have " swaha " at the end of them. I have read and seen

during havana also that these kind of mantra requires " homa " (i.e..

some sort of havan ahuti) while chanting yet some mantras i have seen

are chanted with swaha on day to day basis where there is no havan. I

wanted to ask learned ones' opinion about this matter.

Dear Raja,

 

Swaha and Swadha are two wives of Agni. Swaha is generalyy used for offering

something to Devas or in homams and Swadha is used in sraddha karmas for

Pittris.

 

Now there are many types of mantras. Two are main, i.e `Namah' mantras where

`Namah' is used at the end. These types of mantras are for surrender to the

lord. But mantras ending with `Swaha' are somewhat forcing the Devata to

grant the result.

 

So `Namah' mantras are always better - as the Lord knows what is best

suitable for us.

 

Regards

Yes, but be carefull what you want. This is a 6 words and 13 letter mantra.

That means it will draw energy from your shatrubhava or rogabhava and give

result on yr lagna.

Dear Dasgupta Ji

You seem to be very good in the knaowledg of Mantra. I request you to

write something about some common Mantra which people use in their

daily lives or they should be careful about while doing Jaap of

Mantra.

With regards

Sushma

Dasguptaji,

 

i dont understand. This is a hanuman mantra supposed to protect from

shatrus or rog etc so why do i have to be carefull?

 

Are you stating that it is doing opposite than what i am thinking it

should?

 

If i remove OM from it, it becomes 5 word, does that mean it'd

strengthen lagna from 5th house?

 

please shed some light.

 

thanks,

raja

Raja,

 

Have you completely killed and gained over the " Ravan " within your

good self? I think therein lies the answer to your question...

Ravan is very well alive in all of us hence the need of hanuman

mantra. RRji, I have to put some extra effort to comprehend your

answers. :). I am fascinated by analogy dasguptaji has pointed so am

very curious now.

I will do some research in mantra-mahodadhi about the mantra and how

should it be used.

True but in that case Sankat-Vimochan would first get to and wipe out

the Ravan within the worshipper so that The Mighty One can *execute*

from a clean and pure base (Peetha)! In other words it is not just

about 'numbers' and repetitions, but about the real intent of the

worshipper!

Dear Raja,

 

When you add OM, all doshas of the mantra is removed. Else there are some

perticular methods to match the mantra with the native. Else it can creat

havoc.

 

How do you know if Lord Hanuman is at all interested in protecting you? Lord

Hanuman is represented by Mars. It all depends upon the placement of Mars in

your chart. I know one case, where Mars was in 5H and he started chanting

Hanuman mantra. His home started trembling. Why? because any house is maraka

of the 12th house from it. 12th from 5th is 4th house which is jala tattwa.

And tattwa of Mars is agni. So you can understand what happened. Either agni

will get finished or jala will get finished.

 

There are more things. You want protection from shatrus. None will do it

except your Palana Devata. It is denoted by the 6th planet of the 6th lord

(if there is no planet) from Chara Amatma Karaka in Navamsa. Also, If any

planet is sitting in 5th hose in rashi, that has got power to make one

dance - specially so, if it is in dusthana from Lagna lord.

 

If you want spiritual progress, it is your Ista who will help. Ista is

denoted by the planet in 12th House or the 12th lord (if there is no

planet) from Chara Atma karaka. Which planet denotes which diety are

explained in BPHS and Prashna Margam.

 

So you see, that it is not necessary that your wish will be fullfilled by

just reciting a mantra. I know one case, by reciting ari-mantra, one lost

his only son. All these are to be seen while selecting a mantra for a

person. These are all knowledges available in paramparas only. Pt. Sanjay

Rath - in his book " Vedic Remedies in Astrology " has brought out in clarity.

 

So it is always better to recite the prashiddha mantras, unless you get

proper guidance. I will try to make a brief write up on mantra, different

types and how to understand the effect of any perticular mantra and post it

in the list - whenever i find some time

 

Regards

Re: swaha

 

 

Dasguptaji,

 

i dont understand. This is a hanuman mantra supposed to protect from

shatrus or rog etc so why do i have to be carefull?

 

Are you stating that it is doing opposite than what i am thinking it

should?

 

If i remove OM from it, it becomes 5 word, does that mean it'd

strengthen lagna from 5th house?

 

please shed some light.

 

thanks,

raja

Dasgupta ji,

 

Like a good students, I would like to summarize my notes :-) on what

we have been discussing about Mantra and Mantra Shastra. You can

build upon this later when you document.

 

- According to Mantra shastra, Mantra should be initiated per

horoscope and strength of its attributes (i.e.. house, planet, lord

of house etc)

- Every mantra has a Source house from which it takes energy and

destination house where it applies the energy.

- Mantra is basically construction of words and also letters

obviously.

- Mantra words becomes the source and letters becomes destination.

- for e.g.. " OM HARI " is the vashnav mantra. Let's break it down per

mantra shastra. I picked small mantra for ease of understanding.

- Om HARI is tri-akshari and dwi-shabdi. (3 letters i.e.. om HA RI

and 2 words OM HARI)

- Source house for said mantra in horo would be - 2nd house

- Destination house for said mantra is - 3rd house.

- So from 2nd house energy would be drained and provided to

strengthen the 3rd house.

- Let's take me as an example. In my horo 2nd house is Kumbha and

have no planets.

- my 3rd house is meena with moon in it.

- by chanting this mantra- wealth stahn would be drained and moon

will be strengthen and attributes of 3rd house woul become strong. I

may become parakrami,tolerence, and my siblings would benefit also

fro mthis mantra.(3rd house).

 

check and see if i summarized it correctly and add your thoughts.

 

Now question is - by chanting this mantra, does source house weakens?

i.e 2nd house in this example. I wouldn ot want to drain my 2nd house

at all as it is dhan sthan.

 

- Raja

Mantra can be initiated by a siddha guru only. Then no selection etc. are

required and the guru by his own power enlightens the mantra in his

disciple's body. When we astrologers suggest mantras, we try to limit it in

prashiddha mantras only. If it is not a prashidya mantra, then selection of

a perticular mantra to serve a perticular purpose is a bit lengthy process.

In rare case I personally advice the native to do so. However in that case I

first advice the Sadashiva bija for 60 days.

 

There are four levels of guru. Guru, Param Guru, Paratpar Guru & Parameshthi

Guru, like four levels of education viz. schooling, bachelor degree, master

degree & PHD. A true guru will not give initiation to somebody unless he is

permitted by his guru or param guru. Param guru will not give OK unless

permitted by his guru i.e paratpar guru. At the highest level Parameshthi

guru is SadaShiva. By doing SadaShiva mantra, Sadasiva himself will initiate

you. In this yuga finding a true guru is so difficult.

 

But you have to do pranapratistha & deepana of the mantra for yourself.

There are ways, and I would not like to discuss those in a public forum.

 

" I may become parakrami "

 

Parakram is seen at 3rd from Arudha lagna. 3rd from lagna is sthana of Guru

upadesha, right hand. It is a Upachaya house, house of growth.

 

'does source house weakens?'

 

Never, you are using the unutilised energy of a house.

 

More later,

on further research of this, i would like t oadd a thing called

DevSthan which is also important in addition to Source and

Destination of the mantra. Potency of Mantra could be different

depending on devsthan.

Please add your thoughts hear Dasguptaji.

Dear Raja,

 

No idea.

 

I do not visit neither devasthanams nor anti-devasthanams much (note this

word `much' which clarifies that I am not against it) and prefer to shuttle

between my home and office only :-)

 

Regards

 

Jk

Re: swaha

 

 

on further research of this, i would like t oadd a thing called

DevSthan which is also important in addition to Source and

Destination of the mantra. Potency of Mantra could be different

depending on devsthan.

Please add your thoughts hear Dasguptaji.

no no, devstan is a house of dev whose mantra is being chanted in the

horoscope. i.e in our case example of om hari mantra source = #words

= 2 and destination house = # letters = 3, mantra devta is vishnu or

Shri HAri and he'd be in devsthan or house #4 (the house from the

destination house i.e 2 to 3 .. difference between the source house

and destination house plus the destination house) strengthening 3rd

house.

Yes, you are right. That is the way I also have been taught. That is where

the mantra devata sits and gives result of that house.

Dear Raja,

 

Here is a brief note on mantras - as promised earlier. This is a excerpt

from my paper " Science of Mantra " presented by me in Jan'2005 conference of

Sri Jagannath Center (SJC), Asia - at Puri.

=========================

In general there are 3 types of mantras,

 

1. Those that invoke the lower (tamasic) power of the nature. These are

generally used for lower end purposes like vashikaran (controlling others),

stambhan (stopping the enemy to act) etc.

2. Those that excite and manifest might and power or for fulfilling

materialistic desires (rajasic)

3. Those that lead to spiritual experiences (satvic)

 

Generally vedic mantras for remedial measures fall under the last two

categories.

 

Again mantras fall under two broad classifications,

 

1. Those that need to be chanted only without any need to understand their

meaning, just sound vibration is sufficient. Mantras for remedial measures

falls under this category viz Mrityunjaya mantra, Gayatri mantra etc. Of

course understanding the meaning simultaneously will enhance the effect.

2. Those mantras that are of the nature of invocation of the deities and the

devotee must necessarily understand the meaning of them. Mostly beeja

mantras of one letter (pindas) fall under this category. But when such

mantras are received from a powerfull guru – knowing the meaning is not

necessary.

 

While suggesting mantras for remedy – the following various types of mantras

should be kept in mind,

 

Pujan: These mantras are used for worshiping various deities. `Namah’ is

used for such mantras

Bodhan: These mantras are used for invoking deities. `Vaushat’ is used for

such mantras

Shanti karan: These mantras are for warding off the malefic effects and

influence of planets and go for cure of the

diseases. `Swaha (Svaha)’ or `Hum Phat’ is used for such mantras. Such

mantras are also used for Havans (Yagna, sacrifice to fire)

Vashikaran : These mantras when used in a specified way are to bring under

your control any Devta, Soul, Woman, man, officer, minister etc. and thus

you can gain according to your desires. These mantras are also called

Sammohan Mantras. `Swadha’ is used for such mantras. `Swadha’ is also used

for shraddhas.

Vidveshan, Uchhatan, Stambhan : These mantras are used for creating

differences between the two or many (Vidveshan), for removing one from his

place (Ucchatan) and stopping the enemy to act against (Stambhan) . `Vashat’

is used for such mantras.

Maran / Chhedan : These are death / harm inflicting mantras through which

any body can be killed or harmed. `Phat’ is used for such mantras

Aakarshan: These mantras are used for attracting somebody `Hum’ is used for

such mantras

 

Mantras ending with `Vashat’ or `Phat’ are masculine in nature and

aggressive. Mantras ending with `Swaha’ or `Vaushat’ are feminine in nature.

They are docile and require the practitioner to be dedicated and make

offerings to compel the diety to be compesionate and fullfill wish. Mantras

ending with `Namah’ are neutral in nature and require the practitioner to

submit to the will of the diety.

 

Various Aspects of Mantra:

 

All mantras have six aspects,

 

1. A seer or rishi

Every mantra has got a rishi who had self realization for the first time

through this mantra and gave the mantra to others. Such as sage Vishwamitra

is the rishi of Gayatri mantra.

2. A raga

Every mantra has a raga (chhanda) in which it should be uttered or chanted

3. A presiding deity (Devata)

There is a particular devata or presiding diety of each mantra

4. A seed sound (bija)

Seeds hold within them the fruit of a full-grown tree, similarly bija, or

seed, It is told in the Vedas that the first primordial sound produced at

the time of creation of the universe was the " OM " mantra. This most

important seed mantra is mostly found to be preceding various mantras. Some

examples are Shreem (Lakhmi beeja), Aim (Saraswati beeja) etc.

In fact all the letters of Sanskrit are beejas for some diety or some gross

effect.

5. Power (shakti)

Mantras hold within them shakti (spiritual potency or energy), There are

different seed mantras, each with their own shakti.

6. Pillar (kilaka or pin)

This plugs the mantra chaitanya that is hidden in the mantra. It is said

that Shiva has plugged all mantras so that these are not misused. As soon as

this plug is removed by Guru or by constant repetition, the mantra

chaitanya, that is hidden - is revealed.

 

Suitability of Mantras and selection:

 

Lastly we shall briefly discuss on suitability/selection of mantras for

various natives.

 

In general,

1. Vishnu or Krishna mantras suit natives of Aries, Leo, Scorpio and

Aquarius

2. Shakti or devi mantras suit natives of Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and

Pieces

3. Shiva mantras are suitable for natives Taurus, Cancer, Libra and

Capricorn

 

In brief, following steps should be followed in selection of mantras.

 

1. Select which house or planet is to be strengthened. If any house is to be

strengthened for purposes connected to material world, it is always better

to suggest Palana Devata’s mantra. For the purpose of spirituality – Ista

Devata mantra should be suggested. Select carefully from which house energy

can be drawn. This house should have good strength in terms of ownership or

benefic aspects or AV points. In my humble opinion - tatwa of this house

should be friendly with the tatwa of the house to be strengthened.

2. Let us say the house from where energy to be drawn is `A’ and the house

to be activated is `B’ and. Count `A’ and `B’ from lagna in D1. Say it is X

& Y respectively. The mantra should have X no of words and Y no of letters.

3. Count houses from `A’ to `B’. Count as many houses from `B’ and say we

arrive at house `C’. The mantra devata / devi will sit in that house and the

result of the mantra will manifest in that house.

4. Now once the mantra is selected, check its suitability by KULAKUL Chakra.

Tatwa of the first letter of the mantra and first letter of the native’s

name is matched. Both the tatwas should not be inimical to each other. If

this cannot be matched – first letter of the mantra should be of akash

tatwa.

5. Next check Rashi chakra. Rashi of the first letter of the mantra and

first letter of the native’s name is matched. Rashi numbers are taken in

normal way such as, 1. Aries, 2. Taurus, 3. Gemini .. and so on upto 12.

Pieces. The suitability is checked in following way,

 

Count the Rashi no of the first letter of the native from that of mantra

a. If it is 1, 5 or 9 the the mantra is friendly

b. If it is 2, 6 or 10 the the mantra is gainfull

c. If it is 3, 7 or 11 the the mantra will result in growth

d. If it is 4, 8 or 12 the the mantra is not suitable

 

6. Next check Gana suitability with Nakshatra chakra. Each letter has been

assigned a Nakshatra (star) and a corresponding gana. This has been listed

at the end of this article. Gana of the first letter of the mantra and first

letter of the native’s name is matched.

 

If the gana of the native’s first letter of name is nara then,

a. Mantra with a first letter which belongs to nara gana is best

b. Mantra with a first letter which belongs to deva gana is good

c. Mantra with a first letter which belongs to rakshas gana is worst

 

If the gana of the native’s first letter of name is deva then,

d. Mantra with a first letter which belongs to nara gana is best

e. Mantra with a first letter which belongs to deva gana is good

f. Mantra with a first letter which belongs to rakshas gana is worst

 

If the gana of the native’s first letter of name is rakshas then,

g. Mantra with a first letter which belongs to rakshas gana is best

h. Mantra with a first letter which belongs to nara gana is worst

i. Mantra with a first letter which belongs to deva gana is worst

 

Some texts say that over and above this, distance of mantra nakshatra and

the name nakshatra also should be checked if the relation is janma, sampat,

bipat, khsema etc.

 

7. Then Aa-Ka-Tha-Ha chakra is checked to see if the mantra will give any

negetive or disastrous result. This has been discussed in detail in `Vedic

Remedies’ by Pt. Sanjay Rath.

8. Lastly Rni-Dhani chakra should be checked as detailed in Rudrayamal

Tantra - to see if the fructification of result of the mantra will be quick

or delayed. This has also been discussed in detail in `Vedic Remedies’ by

Pt. Sanjay Rath. If the net letter of the mantra is `0’ then that mantra

should never be suggested – as it may harm the native, even if suitability

by other charkas are positive.

 

When Om is at the beginning of any mantra – the letter Om should not be

considered as the first letter of the mantra. The next letter to Om will be

taken as the first letter of the mantra. But Om will be counted while

considering number of letters or words.

 

As per `Vedic Remedies’ by Pt. Sanjay Rath, if Om is added at the beginning

and at the end (both combined), all dosha of the mantra is removed. So any

unsuitable mantra also can be made suitable by this process. Of course the

number of the words and letters in the mantra will thus get changed and care

should be taken for that.

 

Some mantras have been exempted from any such selections and they can be

practiced by any person. Such as,

1. Any mantra related to Sri Krishna

2. Om Namah Shivaya or Namah Shivaya

3. Gayatri mantras of Rig Veda

4. Gopala mantra

5. Om

6. Om Tat Sat

7. Other prashiddha mantras like `Hare Rama Krishna' etc.

 

Some texts further add that any mantra received from a female guru is

exempted from such selections. Also any mantra received in dream should

never be chanted – unless diksha guru subsequently authorizes it.

 

Mantra Samskara:

 

It is told that each mantras have some short of dosha in it. Later Shiva

locked all the mantras so that no body can misuse the same. So for quick

results it is necessary to remove such doshas and also to remove the lock

(Utkeelan).

 

There are various methods for this – but those are to be applied by a

person, who is well aware of the procedures.

 

However, by constant repetitions and dedication – all such doshas are

removed and the mantra starts working. In addition, the following two

methods can be used for giving life and increasing efficacy of a mantra.

1. Prana yoga (giving life): If `Hrim’ is added at the start and end of any

mantra and recited seven times, the mantra gets life

2. Deepan (increasing efficasy): If `aum’ is added at the start and end of

any mantra and recicited seven times, the mantra gets lighted

RE: swaha

 

 

Yes, you are right. That is the way I also have been taught. That is where

the mantra devata sits and gives result of that house.

Dear Dasgupta Ji

Jaya Siyaa Raam

Thanks for writing this. It is really enlightening one.

Now can we make a list of of those Prasiddh Mantras which can be

recited without any hitch? And can we idedntify those Deities whose

Mantras should be thought twice before reciting because, as you said,

they might not be intersted in helping us.

 

Is there any way to please any Deity whome we like to please to get

some definite results?

With regards

you have to learn astrology for identifying the diety who will be ready to

oblige you :-). That diety is well known to you in the cabinet of Gods &

Godesses. Later the same will guide you to other departments, as per your

requirement.

 

Various dieties ultimately merge with Vishnu. Vishnu is the whole body.

 

I have already listed in general, which mantras can be recited without any

hitch.

well, Vishnu is the source of jagatnirmata, shrishti rachyeta brahma

emerged from Vishnu Nabhi. Vishnu himself merges with Shiva 'the

svayambhu' who was a stambha of fire from whom vishnu emerged.

 

all the other deities are the amsha deities of the main trinity.

 

Don't know about Allah or jesus or joseph or Jehovah, my rule of

thumb when it comes to religion is any religion other than mine is

Myth and i am sure " they " think same. That is just my belief and you

are welcomed to disagree to it.

No Raja - i am not disagree with you nor with brother JK - i am not

disagree with any one actualy.

 

all we have our own belief - and own god or godess. NO discussion on

Bhagwan - i am not able to comment on almighty - who is ? how is?

 

i strongly belief in " The one " " The only one " who is creator of

COSMOS not only of this Universe. One who does not need any thing -

one who is beyond everything - one who is not genderbound - one who

comes in form as we do imagination.

 

leave it brother almighty is not the subject - almighty is aove

subject.

 

 

happy new year

Dear Niketji,

 

Indeed it is perhaps not a black or white reality that we all live

in! Scientists have known and accepted that for hundreds of years

because why else would scientific theories and dogmas be tossed so

readily if you truly follow the history and practice of science and

scientists over the years!

 

Each scientist has vehemently and passionately maintained that S/he

alone is right in figuring out the secrets of the Creation but very

quickly tossed aside when the evidence to the contrary was

overwhelming and " obvious " .

 

Without mincing words -- Occultism has been more forgiving!

Historically!!

 

And way more subjective, as DISCIPLINES go...

 

AND it is not at all surprising because scientists must rely on

physical senses, supported by observations of a physical nature!

Their job is EASY!

 

Occultists on the other hand must rely on observations of a mental

nature! The instrument is MIND and not every instrument is properly

stabilized or duly calibrated. There are no ISO standards for the

MIND! WORSE: There are SEVERAL and mutually conflicting and

incongruent...
