The whole of four Vedas consist of nothing
but Mantras, and as they proceed from the
Pranava (The word Aum), the Pranava,
consequently is the Adi or Mule Mantra or
the Mantra of all Mantras; and it is
acceptable to both the followers of Nigamas
(the Vedas) and Agamas (the Tantras).
Culture, gets all the powers of the Siddhis
without effort while the Mantrika has to evoke
them by the Mantras and the ceremonies
attending them. It is impossible for a single
individual to master the information treated of
in 37,00,000 verses containing the original
writings on mantras and occultism, known as
the Agamas, besides several other works now
supposed to have been lost, for occultism is
treated in these writings in all.
SCRIPTURE, MANTRA AND SANSKRIT
Tito great scriptures of the world, particularly
the Sanskrit Vedas, are written iii languages that
have a strong connection between sound and
HUM
Hurn (pronounced like whom) is a fire (Agni)
mantra Through it the inner flame of our
awareness and aspiration is enkindled. HUM is
a mantra of Shiva, the destructive aspect of the
divine trinity. It is mantra of divine wrath,
RAM
RAM (pronounced with the a-vowel long as in
father) is the mantra of the avatar RAMA, the
divine warrior and hero, the great incarnation of
Vishnu who destroys the demons (forces of
ignorance) and liberates our soul (symbolized
by his wife Sit a) imprisoned under the negative
influence of the external world. The mantra
MA
MA is the first natural utterance of children. It is
the sound of the mother and hence used for the
worship of the Divine Mother or Goddess
(Devi). The mantra MA gives love, care,
receptivity, and understanding. It is cooling,
soothing, and softening. It melts the ego into the
heart.
SHRIM
HRIM
HRIM (pronounced Hreem) is the main mantra
of the Goddess and is very important in the
Tantric worship of Her. More specifically it
relates to Shivas consort, Parvati or Uma,
particularly in her form as the goddess of beauty
and bliss, Tripurasundari. The mantra HRIM
SOHAM
Sound and breath go together. The breath is the
basic sound-current behind the mind. SOHAM
is the natural mantra of the breath. SO is the
sound of inhalation; HAM (pronounced with the
a-vowel as in our word the) is the sound of
exhalation. The root of sa in Sanskrit means
to hold, to have power, to be or exist, Sa is
truth, reality, being, and eternity. The root ha
means to leave, abandon, or relinquish. Ham
is the bija-mantra for ether and the sound of
Prana, the life-force or breath. SO is shakti or
the cosmic feminine principle; HAM is Shiva,
the cosmic masculine principle. SOHAM
literally means He am I, referring to the unity
of our true Self with the Divine Person, which is
the secret message of the life current. Repeating
SOHAM mentally along with natural breathing
allows the breath to deepen and turns breathing
into a tool of meditation and Self-inquiry. Some
Occult Correspondences
One of the most secret correspondences existing
between the mantras on the Vaikhari Vak or the
Sthula plane of matter, and the higher planes is
Bijas, which I have partly hinted at in the
preceding Section The central idea involved in
the working of the mantras is that certain sounds
when uttered produce a disturbance in the Akasa
which is, in its turn communicated, according to
the severity of such a disturbance. This
phenomenon cannot be judged from the known
laws of physics, as that science has rarely
meddled with the higher The central idea
involved in the working of the mantras is that
certain sounds when uttered produce a
disturbance in the Akasa which is, in its turn
communicated, according to the severity of such
a disturbance. planes of matter. All that we can,
Purascarana
Purascarana as applied to the Practice of
mantras means that act or a series of acts which
should be performed as soon as one is initiated
They are Japa, homa, tarpana, marjana and
Brahmanas These are called the five angas to
the practice of mantra. Before one begins to
practice it, it is absolutely necessary that he
should find out whether he will in any way be
benefitted. In other words, whether his Karma is
such as to prevent his being benefitted at all by
the practice of a mantra in that birth in which he
wishes to obtain the result in view. For purposes
of finding out whether Karma allows one to be
benefited by the practice of a mantra, recourse
