NAME PARTS OF MANTRA; ACCORDING TO THE SCIENCE OF TANTRA ?MANTRA--03

THE MEANING OF PARTS OF MANTRA;-

1-‘Every mantra includes three principles, the pranav, the bija, and the deity. The secrets of The Almighty within and beyond the universe are present in the pranav principle. Through the bija principle one becomes aware of one’s true nature (prakruti), the type of one’s relationship with The Almighty and the unmanifest energy within oneself which is making attempts to manifest itself.

2-Knowledge of the deity principle gives one the realisation of The Lord’s wish which is to be fulfilled through oneself.’Every Mantra has five parts -

WHAT IS VEDIC & TANTRIK MANTRA? --

Since the Vedic mantras are the very breath of The Lord they are efficacious (siddha) mantras. Hence according to Vedic scholars no rituals are deemed necessary for their chanting. Contrary to this, the sorcerers (tantriks) have prescribed specific rituals even for the Vedic mantras. In the Tantrik path the armour and argala are deemed to be inferior and greater importance is attached to the kilak. . WHAT IS SHABAR TEXTS ?-

Thousands of Shabar mantras are given in these texts. They are also known as mantras of spirits (paishachik mantras) and are often meaningless. In these mantras emphasis is laid not on the meaning but on the sound. These mantras are of an inferior quality because through them a seeker develops communion with spirits and not deities.
