Guest guest Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 Namaste Shabd and all: The Navarana mantra, is the bija, or seed, mantra of the entire Chandi Path. It is: Om aim hrim klim camundyai vicce. For maximum effect, it should be chanted this way, not altered. It represents the 3 aspects of Mother energy, and is translated on page 372 of the newer Chandi Path: OM: the infinite beyond conception AIM: creation, rajo guna, energy of desire, Mahasarasvati HRIM: preservation, sattva guna, energy of action, Mahalaksmi KLIM: destruction, tamo guna, energy of wisdom, Mahakali CAMUNDA: the slayer of passion and anger, moves in the head YAI: the grantor of boons VIC: in the body of knowledge ; in the perception CE: of consciousness If you want to invoke Shiva, The Consciousness of Infinite Goodness, then chant: Om Namah Shivya. Each mantra should be used the way it has been chanted for thousands of years because each mantra carries with it the form of the God or Goddess it represents, and it carries the energy of all those who have chanted it over time. I hope you are able to tune into Swami's evening live Chandi class every Monday-Friday, 6:3- PM Pacific time, for 1 hour. If you cannot make the classes, they are all archived at www.shreemaa.org and you can watch them anytime. Other classes teaching and commenting on other scriptures and techniques are archived there too.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Thank you for your reply. Please read my previous post in its entirety... I feel I need to clarify myself. I actually was not altering the navarna mantra. On page 57 of the Chandi path book written by Swamiji, there is a portion of the writing in sanskrit that says " Om Aim Hrim Klim Namah Shivayai... " If you look on that page you will see it.... I do know that in the Shiva Purana, Lord Shiva says the panchakshara mantra (Om Namah Shivaya) is also the Beej mantra for Shakti and can be chanted " Om Namah Shivayai " to invoke shakti. There are other versions of the Panchakshara mantra such as " Om shrim Klim Namah Shivaya " " Om Haum Namah Shivaya " etc... I was wondering if the phrase " Om Aim Hrim Klim Namah Shivayai " (Page 57 Chandi Path) was also a version of that shakti invoking Panchakshara mantra. I wasn't trying to replace the navarna mantra. I hope that clarifies my question.
