Chanda: The next part of mantra is the chanda (meter ! how to say the mantra in a particular rhythm so the diety is pleased. The best meter is gyatri ("# syllables . $yatri has "# syllables! the next chanda has "% syllables! then the next has &" (anustup chanda . 't goes #(#(#)this is the formula. 'n three movements gyatri can cross the *odiac two times! "# syllables! +" signs and +" signs. "# is auspicious because of the siddhamsa. ,hen chanda is perfect it creates a vibration in the room that continues in the room even after mantra. ,hen gyatri is said once the whole room gets light! with proper chanda

(meter all around will get benefit. 'f said incorrect the person saying it will get benefit but not others! one cannot alter the vibration in a room! and will not be able to effect others. -handa has the power to affect others. Mantra Devata: Every mantra has a devata who sits in the heart. The devata is invoked by the mantra to come into the heart. 'f you use a krora (harsh devata! then a harsh devata will come into your heart. . person will get the mantra siddhi when the mantra devata sits in the heart. 'shta devata is already in the heart! and you (atmakaraka is already in the heart. 'n vishishtadvaita there is two! in advaita they are the same (there is /ust 0ne . The mantra devata should never be inimical to the 'shta or the .tmakaraka! in temporal relationship according to the chart of an individual. 'f mantra devata hurts the 'shta or .1 there will be a lot of trouble. -ertain devas are specicic for certain purposes. The devata must even be individuali*ed for the specific form of an individual diety! whether to use 1aleshwar or Mahakala. 2or example! 3hairav is used for problems with the 4agna! 1al53hairva is use for 6aturn in the 4agna! 3atuka is used for Mars in the 4agna. 'f the mantra devata is inimical to the lagna a person7s character will fall! they may get into bad things! the body will start to pain! and they may start sinful behavior.

(this can lead some to fall into lower energies if not focused . Shakti: Every mantra has a 6hakti which is established in the feet. The feet move you in a particular direction! as the sakti of a mantra guides you to go in a specific direction. ;$atistwam $atistwam Twam Eka 3havani<. 't is the 6hakti which gives gati (direction in life. Kilaka: The sealing and unsealing of a mantra. Every mantra is a temple and needs someone to open the door for you to go inside! utkilana5 to unlock. This is why getting a mantra out of a book is almost impossible because you need someone to unlock the door to it. This can be from $uru 1ripa! the guru7s grace: they open it for you! or they give you an utkilan mantra! they give you the key to unlock the mantra. Then you will get results =uickly. The key is in the solar plexus with the 6un god who is the $uru for everyone. The +>>> Maharishis sit in the 6un chariot with the keys. +>>> rays come from the Maharishis. ,hen you pick up a mantra the rishi goes to the crown of the head (representative of the sahasrara . 't is said in a year pick up one mantra! don7t pick up ten rishis at once. 'f one is doing multiple mantras at once! try to make them from the same rishi. 3ut don7t randomly do many mantras from many random rishis. Note: Stotrams reside in the heart and have built in unlocks but they cant do as much as a mantra. Stotra is a dance between the atman and the paratman.
