WHAT IS MANTRA?---

04 FACTS;-- 1-A sound, syllable, word, or group of words that is considered capable of “creating transformation.”The word mantra is derived from ‘man’ (मन्‌) and ‘tra’ (त्र). ‘Man’ refers to the mind and ‘tra’ to vital energy (pran). That which is done with the fusion of the mind and vital energy is called a mantra. 2-The Sanskrit word mantra consists of the root--- Man- “to think” (also in manas “mind”) and the suffix -Tra, meaning “tools or instruments”, hence a literal translation would be “instrument of thought”.

3-‘Mantra refers to the collection of letters which assists in acquisition of the favourable and the vanquishing of obstacles. The word mantra is derived from mantri, a Sanskrut word which means secret speeches (guhyabhashane). It has various meanings like acquisition of secret objectives, acquisition of secret meanings, invoking a deity for a specific cause, etc.

4-Philosophically it means that by contemplation (manan) of which, knowledge about the oneness of the entire world, that is the embodied soul (jiva), Brahman and the universe is bestowed upon oneself and that by which the embodied soul acquires Liberation (Mukti) from worldly bondages and Dharmacharan">Righteousness (Dharma), wealth (artha) and desire (kama) are achieved in this world.. MANTRA ACCORDING TO THE SCIENCE OF TANTRA;--

03 FACTS;-- 1-‘According to the sorcerers (tantriks) sound (nad or dhvani) being the fundamental frequency of creation appears foremost in the origin of the universe. Sound is a subtle part of the divine energy (chit shakti) of the embodied soul (jiva).

2-Just as sound waves are produced in the atmosphere due to air currents, so also in the body of the embodied soul sound waves are generated due to flow of a type of vital energy (pranvayu). A word is generated from this sound. Later, a mantra originates from it. The energy contained in a mantra is beyond one’s imagination. 3-Parts of a mantra according to the science of Tantra-- ‘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. Knowledge of the deity principle gives one the realisation of The Lord’s wish which is to be fulfilled through oneself.’

THE THREE PARTS OF THE BODY OF MANTRA;---

The letters or words in a mantra constitute its body and the Om at its beginning, is the head. If both the head and the body are present then with that mantra one’s aspirations are fulfilled.

Usually a mantra consists of the following:------ 1-THE NAME OF A DEITY;- The Name of the deity which is to be worshipped. Usually Shri or Om is prefixed to the deity’s Name. [Refer ‘Prefixing Shri or Om to the Name’.] .2-THE FAVOUR ASKED FOR;- Whatever is to be asked of the deity. 3-PALLAV (salutation);-- Pallav refers to the last or the decorative part of the mantra. Pallav also means to collect, the description of the benefit derived, etc. Often the ‘namaha’ in a mantra expresses salutation to the deity. That is the pallav.

DESCRIPTION OF PALLAV;-

03 FACTS;-

1-Pallav refers to the last or the decorative part of the mantra. Pallav also means to collect, the description of the benefit derived, etc. Often the ‘namaha’ in a mantra expresses salutation to the deity. That is the pallav. 2-The words in the mantra are also known as pallav.The meaning of some words which appear at the end of a mantra: ‘Often several words like namaha, svaha, svadha, vashat, voushat, hum and phat are joined to the bijas.

3-These words either depict the mental state of a seeker at the time of chanting the mantra or whatever one wishes to achieve with their usage. Their implied meanings are as follows.

MEANING OF SEVEN PALLAV;-

A. Namaha: The serene and peaceful state of the antahkaran appeasing the deity of the mantra by surrendering to it.

B. Svaha: Destruction of harmful energy, for instance curing a disease and doing good to others, appeasing the deity of the mantra with offerings.

WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF MANTRA (According to the motive);----

03 FACTS;-

1-With worldly expectation (sakam): --

The mantra begins with rhim, shrim, klim, etc.

2. Without worldly expectation (nishkam): -----

The mantra commences with Om. All mantras originate from Om. It is a symbol of Brahman, God and the Vedas. Hence, the mantra ‘Om’ can bestow the Final Liberation (Moksha).

3. Both with and without expectation: The bijas like rhim are suffixed to Om and are followed by the other letters in the mantra.

WHAT IS KILAK?-

03 FACTS;-- 1-All mantras are kilit by shivshanker so that no one misuse.. Kilak means a wedge or a clue to a mystical puzzle. The Guru/Guide gives the kilak of the mantra. Consequently the energy of the mantra is manifested. Kilak means a wedge or a clue to a mystical puzzle. Kilak means the description, proximity, speed and method of pronunciation, the rhythm of recitation of the mantra (alap), etc. Sometimes the kilak assumes the form of a prior notice.

2-When a sage creates a mantra along with a precondition that ‘without the pronunciation of a particular word prior to the mantra, the practice of the mantra will not be fruitful’, then the mere chanting of the mantra does not prove to be of any avail. Such a word is termed as a kilak of a mantra, that is a wedge or a clue to a mystical puzzle. Only when the mantra is chanted along with it does it prove to be fruitful. Understanding that word, and chanting along with it or destroying the relationship of that word with the mantra is called nishkilan or utkilan. However, only spiritually evolved persons can give guidance to this effect. 3- Movement of the saman vital energy (vayu) is essential to activate the kundalini (spiritual energy). Nadibandha (blocking the channels) is performed to achieve it. The energy used to perform nadibandha is also called kilak. Kilak means the expulsion of the saman vital energy from which energy is generated. Nadibandha also occurs if a mantra is chanted appropriately.

WHAT IS UTKILAN (nishkilan)?-

---​​ Some mantras are impure. Once they are activated with bijakshars their cleansing occurs and their energy becomes manifest. CHANTING A MANTRA (MANTRAJAPA);-- Repetition of a mantra understanding its meaning, along with faith and spiritual emotion is called chanting a mantra (mantrajapa).

TYPES OF MANTRA;--

03 FACTS;--

1-ACCORDING TO THE HOLY TEXTS----- The Vedas: ‘Vedic mantras are superior to all other mantras. The Sanhita section of the Vedas is itself regarded as a mantra. The Gayatri mantra in the Rugveda was first written by Sage Vishvamitra and is considered superior to the others. The Atharvaveda too is a treasure house of various mantras. Mantras or meanings are created in various sciences such as astrology, Ayurveda, Spirituality, etc. when different bijas are prefixed to the Vedic verses.

2-THE TEXT OF THE TANTRAS--- As in the Vedas thousands of mantras have also been mentioned in the texts of the Tantras.

3-THE VEDIC & TANTRIK MANTRAS---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.

IS ARMOUR, ARGALA & KILAK ESSENTIAL?-

05 FACTS;--

1-The Chandi Armor or any other kavcham of The Goddess Durga prevents unwanted circumstances in life and saves the life from dangers. Durga kavcham saves devotee's all obstacles during the recitation of prayers or chants or under any circumstances. Through Armor, devotee says to Goddess Chandi to save his/her life, body, and remove all sorrows. 2-Durga Kilak and Argala Stotra should be recited after Chandi Kavcham because any Armor has a lock and the key. So the Argala is known as a locking-chain and Kilak is known as the key.

3-In a kavcham, devotees pray to Goddess Durga to save their body, soul, and life from any type of danger. Kavcham is for protecting life and soul. Kavch, Argala, and Kilak are most important prayers in Durga Sapatsati and the reader should read these three prayers before recitation the chapter of Sapatsati.

4-In the science of Mantra, the armour (self protection), argala (generation of energy, destruction of distressing energies) and kilak are equally important and without the accomplishment of all these, a mantra cannot become efficacious.

5-In the Tantrik path the armour and argala are deemed to be inferior and greater importance is attached to the kilak. According to the science of Tantra mere removal of obstacles preventing the accomplishment of the tantra is sufficient for proving the tantra, as this science is based on gross objects. 5% of the effectiveness of a tantra is due to the qualities of the object used in it, for instance black lentil (udid). The effect is purely due to the intrinsic qualities of the object and not due to any external process.

The third eye chakra (or brow chakra) is the seat of intuition and life purpose.
