to Linda about mahamantra

[Guest guest]

Namaste Linda,

 

" maha-mantra " means a great mantra

it varies from group to group

 

for some it is :

" Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama

Rama, Hare Hare "

 

for Haidakhan Babaji followers who consider him to be an Avatar of Shiva it is

:

Om Namah Sivaya

 

for example:

from Nitya @ http://www.sribabaji.org/portal/

Namaste

 

Shiva Pancaakshari Mantra, Om Namah Shivaya, is very very potent mantra. To me,

it is like pure Love.

Lets take a look what Shastriji, a direct disciple of Sri Babaji has to say

about this mantra:

 

 

" It is a 'mahamantra,' great mantra, a shortened and more powerful version of

the mantra central to all four Vedas. It is called a beej mantra, a 'seed'

mantra. The smaller and more concentrated an object, the more powerful it is. A

seed contains within it all necessary power to create a mighty forest tree, and

so, by comparison, it is much more powerful than the tree.

 

So it is with 'Om Namaha Shivaya' it is the beej, seed, of the longer version,

and thus is a very, very potent mantra.
