Guest guest Posted January 7, 2003 Report Share Posted January 7, 2003 || Jaya Jagannnath || Dear Chandrashekhar and Ramadas, I think adding the Ekakshara OM and still keeping the Mantra Om Namah Sivaya as Panchakshari is extending the principles. All the beejakhsaras in the mantras are to be counted. OM is Tara beeja and has to be counted in Om Namah Sivaya, making it a shadakshari, instead of Panchakshari. The real panchakshari is Namah Sivaya, without OM. If we stop counting OM in the mantra, and we follow the same principle with the other ekaksharas or beejaksharas like, hrIM, shrIM or klIM, then the counting of all the mantras will be changed. I think this is not proper. The Panchakshari mantra is extracted out from the Panchakshari stotra. I am pasting here the shiva panchakshara stotra as given by Sankaracharya, from Sanskrit site http://sanskrit.gde.to/. The process of extracting the mantra from the stotra is there in Mantra Mahodadih. One can refer that for further knowledge. For viewing the Sanskrit text, you need to install the Sanskrit 99 font, which I am attaching herewith. Salutations to Shiva who burns up the grief caused by poverty! Here poverty does not necessarily mean material poverty; it also means spiritual poverty. This pa.nchAkshara (five syllabled) mantra namaH ShivAya is sometimes called the mUla mantra or basic mantra of Shiva. Each of the five syllables, na, ma, shi, vA, and ya, is held to be so sacred that it represents Shiva even by itself. The following is the ShivapanchAkshara stotra composed by Adi SankarAchArya. One may worship the Shiva linga by reciting this stotra and offering bilva leaves. nageNÔharay iÇlaecnay ÉSma¼ragay mheñray, inTyay zuÏay idgMbray tSmE nkaray nm> izvay. 1. Salutations to Shiva, who wears the King of snakes as a garland, the Three-eyed God, whose body is smeared with ashes, the great Lord, the eternal and pure One, who wears the directions as His garment, and who is represented by the ``na'' kAra (term). mNdaikin-sillcNdn-cicRtay nNdIñr-àmwnaw- mheñray, mNdarpu:p-b÷pu:p-supUijtay tSmE mkaray nm> izvay. 2.

Salutations to Shiva, who bears the form of a Yaksha, who has matted hair on His head, Who bears the pinAka bow in His hand, the Primeval Lord, the brilliant God, who is digambara (naked), and who is represented by the syllable ``ya.'' p<ca]rimd< pu{y< y> pQeiCDvsiÚxaE, izvlaekmvaßaeit izven sh maedte. Anyone who recites this sacred five-syllabled mantra, (namaH shivAya) near the Shiva (linga), attains the abode of Shiva and rejoices there with Shiva. . #it ïImCD<kracayRivrict izvpÂa]r StaeÇ< smaÝ<.

Chandrashekhar. - Ramadas Rao vedic astrology Tuesday, January 07, 2003 1:33 AM Re: [vedic astrology] Re: Mantra-Query-Narsimhaji OM KLEEM KRISHNAYA NAMAHA Dear Chandrashekar ji, As you said the Panchakshara Mantra is NAMAHASHIVAYA.Om is added as a pranavakshara giving life to this powerful Mantra.There are too many meanings for OM. With best regards, Ramadas Rao. Chandrashekhar <boxdel wrote: Respected Narasimhaji/Ramdass Rao and other knowledgeable teachers, I have been watching this topic for some time.If I may intervene, as I understand " Om Namah Shivaay " has always been called as panchakshari mantra. Now if the line of reasoning in the ongoing discussion is to be accepted it would be counted as different number of words according to who is trying to decipher it.Were the ancient sages wrong in calling the above mantra as Panchakshari? Please enlighten me. Reagrds, Chandrashekhar. - Ramadas Rao vedic astrology Monday, January 06, 2003 2:46 AM Re: [vedic astrology] Re: Mantra-Query-Narsimhaji OM KLEEM KRISHNAYA NAMAHA Dear Narasimha rao ji, Now I also have got a doubt.For example the Mantra OM KLEEM KRISHNYA GOVINDAAYA GOPIJANA VALLABHAAYA SWAHA.has a total of 7 words and a total of 19 syllables.So now how you will do this ?Will you divide the 19 by 12 and the remainder is again 7,that means the mantra Devatha sits in Lagna only. or is it sits on 10th house ? Please clarify my doubts. With best regards, Ramadas Rao. " pvr108 <pvr " <pvr wrote: Dear JK, What was explicitly taught to me by Pt. Sanjay Rath (author of VRA quoted by you) is this: (1) Number of words gives the source house from which energy is drawn. (2) Number of syllables gives the destination house where fruits are given. (3) Count the distance from the source house to the destination house. Count the same number of houses from the destination house. The resultant arudha house is the devata sthana - where the deity sits. For example, take " Om Gurave Namah " . Source is the 3rd house, destination is the 6th house and devata sthana is the 9th house of Guru.
