[Guest guest]

Jai Srimannarayana !

 

Here is the simple method to follow for Prapanna Deeksha blessed by HH Sri

Tridandi Srimannarayana Ramanuja Chinna Jeeyar Swamiji. The Deeksha started on

12th July 2008 will be conducted until 12th July 2009 on the eve of " Jeeyar

Satha:bdi " the centenary celebrations of HH Sri Pedda Jeeyar Swamiji. Join this

divine movement in empowering oneself with the power of manthra, graced on us

by our compassionate Acharyas.

 

* Meditating upon Manthra done, in the morning to a maximum extent of 1 Hour

and

 

*Sri Vishnu Sahasrana:ma Sthothram chanting in the evening atleast once.

 

Meanings of the Divine names of Lord and the inner meanings of the Ashtakshari

Manthra may be learnt and discussed during this period.

 

PRAPANNA DEEKSHA - SIMPLE PROCEDURE(Laghuthara Vidha:nam)

 

1. After taking shower, put on clean dry clothes, wear Tilakam (the vertical

mark) on the forehead. Manthra should not be chanted after taking any type of

drink or food.

 

2. Preferably, sit in a pleasant comfortable place, may be in the room for

worship. If not, while performing necessary household activity one can repeat

the manthra thinking of the great glory of the all powerful Supreme Lord

Narayana, keeping aside all other thoughts.

 

3. Remember the lineage of our Gurus, Acharyas worshipping them inside the

temple heart, with great reverence and gratitude.

 

4. Do A:chamanam and perform Pra:na:ya:mam with Ashta:kshari Manthram.

During Pra:na:ya:mam, Inhale air to full, by repeating the manthram 4 times

followed by holding it for 8 times and slowly release it during chanting for 2

times. This ratio is 2:4:1 and it can be done to any level. One should do it

thrice.

 

5. One should take an oath (Sankalpam) giving the details of Titthi, week of the

day, asterism of the day. If this is not known, then once can say " Bhagavatha

Bha:gavatha a:cha:rya Kainkarya ru:pam Jeeyar Satha:bdi prayuktha ashtakshari

maha:manthra japam adya karishye:

 

6. Know that " I am meditating upon the Manthra in the auspicious time provided

by Lord, using the holy body gifted by Lord, who also blessed me with all great

energy, lively thought, all in His service. I am only instrumental in all the

tasks, while He is making me do things well. "

 

7. Now Imagine the air blowing up from the position of navel is flaring the

sanctified fire Agni seated in the heart. Experience that the gross body is

dried and burnt. Many sins dwelling on the body get cleaned out by this.

 

8. Observe that the Jiva (soul with the subtle body) enter into the right toe of

Lord Supreme, now all the sins get burnt off and he comes back from the left

toe. Thus, the rain of divine grace from the holy feet of Lord makes us

completely immersed in it and our body gets sanctified. Then have the vertical

mark to the new body. Imagine the Ashtakshari Maha Manthra in a divine form, as

set on our palms.

 

9. Then one should offer themselves to God with all the Love, by the way of

Complete Surrender chanting Saranagathi Gadyam.

 

10. Know that Lord Supreme is in every form around us, above, below, inside,

outside and everywhere.

 

11. We have to worship the personification of Manthra, Lord Supreme as below:

 

chathurbhujam uda:ra:ngam chakra:yudha se:vitham |

ka:lame:gha prathi:ka:sam padma pathra:ya the:kshanam ||

pi:tha:mbaradharam sowmyam prasanne:ndu nibha:nanam

cha:ruka:sam sutha:mro:shtam rathno:jwalitha kundalam ||

subhru: lala:ta makutam ghana kumchitha mu:rdhajam |

lalaata thilakam sowmyam de:pavath swe:thamruthsnya ||

sphurath kataka ke:yu:ra ha:ra kowsthubha bhu:shitham |

sphurath bha:skara varna:bham so:bhitham vanama:laya: ||

pradyu:thana sahasra:bha bhu:shanaihi parimanditham |

divya chandana liptha:ngam divya:bharana bhu:shitham ||

sri:bhu:mibhya:m sukha:si:nam swarna simha:sane: subhe: |

dhya:thwaivam de:va de:ve:sam manthraja:pa paro: bhave:th ||

 

12. One can perform as much time as possible remembering the glorious virtues of

Lord with Love of devotion filling up the manas with the divine nectar.

Jai Srimannarayana Dear Swami!

 

With humble da:so:hams to A:cha:rya's divine feet, Adiye:n humbly

requests you to educate & clarify couple of doubts.

 

Adiye:n is unable to dedicate 1 hr to meditate up on Manthram some

times. HH Sri Swamiji mentioned that dasa:s can continue the chanting

while performing other chores (in unavoidable situations).

 

1) Adiye:n meditates on manthram after taking Sri:pa:da thi:rtham

every day in the Pooja room. When it is not possible to continue the

meditation for 1 hr on a particular day, can Adiye:n complete Pra:thah

Smarani:yam and take Peruma:l thi:rtham and prasa:dam (fruit) and

then while attending to other chores (ex: while driving to office),

meditate on Manthram?

 

2) As it was mentioned that " Manthra should not be chanted after

taking any type of drink or food. " , do the drink include Peruma:l

thi:rtham and do the food include prasa:dam (fruit)?

 

Please pardon Adiye:n's ignorance.

 

Jai Srimannarayana!

 

Adiye:n Krishna Kanth Ramanuja Dasa.
