Guest guest Posted November 30, 2003 Report Share Posted November 30, 2003 This is how Nandu teaches the Sodashi, Lalita mantra. Call me and I will chant it for you over the phone and you can tape it. 949-493-1800. The purple bija's are raised. The underlined is low. If you have a piano or harmonium it goes like this: Om srim hrim klim aim sow om hrim E flat E D flat E flat "" "" "" "" ka e i la hrim E flat E D flat D flat E flat ha sa ka ha la hrim - all D flat in triplets if you understand music sa ka la hrim - All E Flat sow aim klim hrim shrim E flat E flat E flat D flat E flat When it come to certain mantra's I do them with intonations. I love this mantra. It comes from an tantric odiyya tradition and is the mantra for the 3rd Goddess, Sodashi in the dasamahavidya's. Enjoy and call if you want me to chant it for you. You've been initiated into Guru, no problem. Jai Maa!
