Guest guest Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 Namaste Linda, Glad you like that mantra. There is another part I did not include. In the beginner puja books when we purify our mouth(acaman) so that our words and thoughts will become pure we sip a little water and say "Om Vishnu, om Vishnu, on Vishnu." This translates as Om Consioucness, om consciousness, om consciousness." In the more advanced puja(Cosmic Puja) we include more mantras for the same purification. It goes like this: om tat visnoh paraman padam sadaa pasyanti suurayah diviiva caksuraa tatam: Om that Consciousness of the highest station, who always sees the Light of Wisdom, give us Divine Eyes Om tad vipra sa pipaanova juvigranso somindrate visnuh tat paramam padam Om That twice-born teacher who is always thirsty for accepting the nectar of devotion, Oh Consciousness, you are in that highest station om apavitrah pavitro vaa sarvaavastham gato-pi vaa yah smaret pundariikaaksam sa baahyaabhyantarah sucih the Impure and the Pure reside within all objects who remembers the lotus-eyed Consciousness is conveyed to radiant beauty Om sarva mangala maangalyam varenyam varadam subham naaraayanam namaskrtya sarvakarmaani kaarayet Om All the Welfare of all Welfare, the highest blessing of Purity and Illumination, with the offering of respect we bow down to the Supreme Consciousness who is the actual performer of all action. Om suuryyascameti mantrasya brahmaa rishi praakritischandah aapo devataa aacamane viniyogah Om these are the mantras of the Light of Wisdom, the Creative Capacity is the Seer, Nature is the meter, the divine flow of waters is the deity, being applied in washing the hands and rinsing the mouth.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 ruchi parvati will give you a better answer, until then ... twice born means just that. you are born again. first to the physical and the ego. then to spirit. i find actually, we are born adn re-born over and over. especially if we take spiritual work very seriously and are fortunate enough to cross paths with a sincere teacher who is working on their own awareness. btw a thought on that. what is the best way for a spiritual "organization" to start? here is an attempt to answer my own question: the best way for this to start is organically. the teacher is working on their own spiritual path. when they hit upon the best practice for them, and join SINCERITY with EFFECTIVE EFFORT eventually they pass beyond the "work" on their own ego-entity and start influencing others. there must be no ego here, or desire to build an organization, or spiritual empire, add members, make money, name and fame, etc. the spiritual teacher MUST be perfectly content to sit by him/herself in a room and radiate divinity. it is only the extension of continuous practice, that is always "washing" this universe of impurities, that creates associations with others that are beneficial. om om om this is what i see, and it is a rare combination indeed on this earth. s , "Khanna, Ruchi" <Ruchi.Khanna@d...> wrote: > Namaste Parvati and the group, > > What does the term twice born means ? > > Thanks, > Ruchi > > > parv108 [parv108] > Friday, August 06, 2004 2:34 AM > > To Linda: Purification mantra > > > Namaste Linda, > Glad you like that mantra.

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 "...\twice born means just that. you are born again. first to the physical and the ego. then to spirit." I believe, in this case, that "Vipra" refers to Brahmin or priest. Brahmins are refered to as "twice born" in the scriptures. sadhvi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
