|
Every true Mantra fulfils
six conditions.
1. It
was originally revealed to the sage, who achieved Self-Realization through it
and passed it down to others.
2. It
has a presiding deity and
3. A
specific meter.
4. It
possesses a beeja, or seed, investing
it with a special power that is the essence of the Mantra.
5. It
also has dynamic divine power, or shakti.
6. Lastly, there is a plug
that conceals the pure consciousness hidden in the Mantra. As soon as the plug
is removed by constant prolonged repetition, pure consciousness is revealed,
and the devotee receives the vision of his deity.
At the time of initiation
by a guru, one’s deity or ishta devata is chosen. Every person has worshipped
some deity in previous lives; the impression of this worship is imprinted in
the subconscious mind. These impressions have influenced the mental vibrations
and have helped to form the particular mentality. If one cannot discover his
own natural inclination, the guru will choose the deity in accordance with his
insight. Once the deity and appropriate Mantra have been selected, and the
aspirant has received initiation, he works with the Mantra until reaching
enlightenment.
Other deity Mantras can
also be used in a supplementary way. Such as foe acquiring particular
attributes. Repetition of “OM Aim
Saraswatyai Namah” bestows wisdom, intelligence and creative achievement.” OM Sri Maha Lakshmyai Namah” confers
wealth and prosperity. The Ganesha Mantra
removes obstacles in any undertaking. The Maha
Mrityunjaya Mantra prevents accidents, incurable disease and calamities,
and bestows longevity and immortality. It is also a moksha Mantra, bringing
liberation.
The Gayatri Mantra is the
supreme Mantra of the Vedas. It is the one Mantra that can be commonly
prescribed for all, for Maa Gayatri is the Mother of the universe, Shakti
herself, and there is nothing she cannot do. Her Mantra purifies the mind;
destroys pain, sin and ignorance; brings liberation; and bestows health,
beauty, strength, vitality, power, intelligence and magnetic aura. Repetition
of the Gayatri Mantra, OM Namah Sivaya,
OM Namo Narayanaya, or OM Namo
Bhagavate Vasudevaya 125000 times, with sincare feeling, faith, and
devotion secures for the devotee the grace of the presiding deity.
One should always keep in
mind that before starting pooja all the essential items should be readily
available with the devotee so that he should not get disturbed during the
practice. The method discussed so far are the guidelines. One should consult
the mantra preceptor before starting the practice.
Note:-
Mantras should be given to a person during the waxing phase of the Moon and on
the day ruled by the planet whose mantras is employed, e.g., give out a Sun
mantra on Sunday and let the person begin chanting on that day. The ideal time
to chant one of these mantras is in the early morning when all is quiet.
