To
understand this we have to understand the mantra first. I am trying to explain
it according to my knowledge, in very simple way.
Firstly what
is mantra ?
It is a
bunch of words which produce vibrations in subtle form when enchanted several
times as per the directions of the guru or teacher. Mantras are divided into sfut
/open and gupta/hidden.
There are two way to enchant it, one maukhik (speaking it loudly ) and other
is manasik ( speaking inside mouth without making sound ). Now mantras are
classified according to their varnas.
Not mentioning much about varnas, it is further classified into Tatvas i.e Agni, Vayu, Prithivi and Jal tatva. Now the
tatvas of the person who will enchant a mantra should match with the tatva of
mantra otherwise it won’t yield any
result.
There are other tatvas which is not discussed to keep the article
short. The number of enchanting mantra plays a very vital role in the
enchantment of mantra. There are fixed stipulated number of time the mantra
should be enchanted to produce desired vibration, failing which will not yield
result. Muhurat ( auspicious time to start enchanting mantra ) of the mantra is
a very important.
Every mantras are classified in for a particular muhurats of
a month on a particular date/tithi, nakshtra ( sometime the pada is also
considered ), var/week and time. If not taken care of the muhurat then the
whole effort will go waste. Every mantra is associated with a direction, the
person need to sit in a particular direction only to enchant the given mantra.
Now lets know the Asan of mantras. Asan means the sitting posture and another
asan means to sit on.
There are different Asan prescribed for different mantras
example sitting in padmasan posture for certain mantra and sitting on Kush asan,
silk, wool, cotton, skin of a particular animal etc of different different
mantras as per prescribed. To count the number of mantra enchanted different
beads malas are used like rudraksha mala, tulsi, spatik, haldi, hakik etc etc.
This mala is also important as per the nature of the mantra and so it shouldn’t
be taken casually that for mere counting any mala can be used. Now vastra to
wear are different for different mantras that shouldn’t be taken lightly as the
Devatas associated with that mantras will never be pleased if different colour
vastra is wore during the mantra enchanting.
Before starting to enchant mantra,
Sankalp has to be made that every day at a stipulated time x number of mantra
will be enchanted daily, failing which will not yield result. Now many a time
people call Brahmin pujari at home to do do some puja or enchanting mantras on
their behalf.
Here 90% of the times the pujari forget to do sankalpa to do the
mantra enchantment of the person’s behalf and so the whole effort waste.
Secondly concentration and focus on mantra is also very very very important as
it brings in Prana/life in the mantra, so if either of pujari or the person
himself enchanting mantra fail in this part then the effort of enchanting
mantra is only in physical form seen from outside but the resultant out put is
zero.
In order to keep it short there are many other things not included in the
articles. Now the last part which is that one have to perform in a nice quite
place Without any disturbance because without concentration on enchantment of
mantra it won’t yield result.
