Dear Group,

Namaste

 

Based on Sanjay Rath’s

teaching, I would like to give a recap.

 

Linga comes from the word

A-Linga, the place of abode and the deity is the base. There are twelve

incarnations of the Lord in the form of Jyotirlingas.

 

Ramesha Lords the sign Mesha

and His form in Setubandha was installed and duly propitiated by Rama who was

the granted the boon of victory. The devotee enjoys worldly pleasures and

obtains perfect knowledge.

Mantra: Om

Namah Shivaya Rameshswaraya.

 

Somanatha Lords the sign

Vrishabha and He annilated the distress of the Moon. Somesha manifested His

form in Saurashtra. His mantra Om Namah Shivaya Somanathaya dispels the

ailments of consumption, leprosy etc. The sight of His Linga blesses his

devotees with worldly pleasure and salvation.

 

Nagesha Lords the sign Mithun

and He manifested (with Parvati) in the forest

of Daruka (near Kedara in Garhwal on

the Ganga). His form was known as the

chastiser of the wicked for his devotees by saving the merchant king, Supriya

from the rakshasa, Daruka. By worshipping this form, heaps of sins immediately

perish.

His mantra is Om Namah Shivaya

Nageshwaraya.

 

Omkara (Amareshvara) Lords the

fourth sign, Karka and His earthern Linga was devouted installed by Brahma in

Omkara Mandhata and is a bestower of desires of worldly pleasures and salvation

for His devotees.

His mantra is Om Namah Shivaya Omkareshwaraya.

 

Vaidyanatha Lords Simha and He

lords the cremation grounds for the sake of Ravana. Vaidyanatha became famous

in all the three worlds. His form brings worldly pleasures and salvation.

His mantra is Om Namah Shivaya

Vaidyanathaya.

 

Mallikaarjuna Lords the sign,

Kanya. He manifested on the Shrishaila mountain.

His mantra is Om Namah Shivaya Mallikaarjunaya.

 

Mahakala Lords Tula and He

manifested in Ujjayini for the protection of His devotees. The demon, Dushana

was a defiler of vedic rites who detested brahmanas. The sons of the brahmanas

meditated on the Lord in this form in Ujjayini where the demon was reduced to

ashes by a mere Humkara.

His mantra is Om Namah Shivaya

Makakaleshwaraya.

 

Ghushmesha Lords Vrischika and

He manifested in the Shiva

Temple at a lake near the

Devashaila mountain to revive Ghushma’s son who was killed by Sudehya. The

devotee who see the Linga there and worships this form, attains happiness and

salvation thereafter.

His mantra is Om Namah Shivaya

Ghumeshwaraya.

 

Vishvesha Lords Dhanus and He

manifested in the city of Varanasi

in the form of the Cosmic Egg which yields worldly salvation and pleasures. He is

always worshipped by Vishnu and all other Devas including Kuvera and Bhairava.

His mantra is Om Namah Shivaya

Vishveshwaraya.

 

Bhimashankara Lords Makara and

He manifested in the city of Dakini (on the bank

of the Bhima River, NW of Pune).

His mantra is Om Nama Shivaya

Bhimashakaraya.

 

Kedara Lords Kumbha. On the

request of the two-fold in carnations of Vishnu, Nara

and Naaraayana, He stationed his Linga on the Himalaya

and is also the bestower of all desires.

His mantra is Om Namah Shivaya

Kedareshwaraya.

 

Tryambaka lords Meena. Tryambaka

is the incarnation of the Moon-crested Lord Shiva who manifested His Linga at

the banks of the Gautami

River at the request of

Gautama Muni. At the sight and touch of the Linga, all desires, pleasures and

salvation fructify.

His mantra is Om Namah Shivaya

Tryambakeswaraya.

 

Compare Kendra from Chandra and

Trikona from Arudha Lagna. Take my chart as an example:

Moon is in a movable rasi.

My AL is in Simha (Agni tattva).

The movable agni sign is Mesha.

Mars is posited on my lagna and has aspect over Rahu. In case there is any

Preta Bada, it can be removed by the mantra Om Namah Shivaya Tryambakeswaraya.

 

All mantras are to be chanted

108 times.

 

Anyone else who’ve

attended the conference, I would appreciate your inputs.

 

Love,

Swee
