Multiple Hanuman Jayanti

In Sanskrit he is more appropriately called (hanumat) which

means one having mighty jaws indicating the power to bite and hold on to the task a symbol
of determination. He is vnara (monkey) and one of the most celebrated of a host of divine apelike beings, created by the blessings of Nrada, to become the allies of r Rma in his war with
Rvana.

Multiple Jayanti
Jayanti refers to the celebration associated with any deity in Hinduism. It is a birthday, but the
Hindu have several birthdays one is their birth in a lunar calendar called Janma Tithi while
another is a solar calendar which is in some sort of sync with the Gregorian calendar.

Ajan-suta Hanuman

Mrgaira Amvsya Jayanti

The first jayanti is the janma tithi. Tithi refers to the jala tattva in pacga which resonates with
the mother. Celebration of ones janma tithi is really a mark of respect for ones mother who not
only passed through nine months of carriage but also the pangs of labour and all the sacrifices
and unconditional love to see us become fit for life on earth.

r Hanuman was born in the month of Mrgaira (Dec-Jan nowadays) in Amavasya tithi (Kr s n
a
paksa). Therefore the first jayanti which is the janma tithi is celebrated in Mrgaira K30
amvsya. Tamil Nadu and Kerala are known to celebrate this date as the Hanuman jayanti.
His mother name was Ajan, an incarnation of the fabled Mahvidy Bagalmukh, the mother
of Mars. It is believed that whosoever calls Hanuman through his mother shall be granted
unquestioned protection, even if he is pursued by the infallible arrow of Rama! Here is that
powerful mantra for this shield of Hanuman. It is the real kavaca in Kali Yuga.

om namo bhagavate njaneyya mahbalya svh|

Vyuputra Hanuman

Mrgaira Mla Naksatra Jayanti

The second birth called dvija, is the receiving of the sacred thread or a mantra that initiates them
into religious life as a Hindu. This is the second Jayanti. The mantra is the protector and giver of
long life. In jyotisa longevity is associated with the wind (breath, prna) and in the pacga, the
breath is in the janma naks atra. Now while Hanuman was born in Mrgaira Kr s n a Amvsya
tithi, the Moon was also in mla naks atra. This naksatra is the janma naksatra of Hanuman.
Janma naksatra is associated with the prna (life-force) and father who sacrifices his prna to
infuse life into the baby. Celebration of ones birthday on the janma naks atra is carried out in
various traditions for long life and blessings of lineage.
Hanumat was a son of Pavana (Mruta, the Wind god). By virtue of his birth and
accomplishments, he had various siddhi including the capacity to assume any form at will,
removed mountains, fly like a bird by leaping across huge lengths in the air, jump into and seize

the clouds, and rivalled Garuda in flight. Other people of Tamil Nadu worship Hanuman on Mla
naksatra day with the vyuputra mantras:

om vyuputrya namah
However both father and mother can be worshipped if the Mrgaira amvsya also happens to
be Mla naksatra:

om njaneyya vidmahe vyuputrya dhmahi tanno hanumat pracodayt|

r Guru Hanuman

Chaitra Prnim Jayanti

The third birth is the date of enlightenment, which happens only for a very few who are destined
to become world teachers. These are Gautam Buddha, Guru Nanak Dev, Hanuman, Datttreya
and Kr s n a Dvaipyana (Veda Vysa) etc., who birth into a new reality where they no longer
have any association with their pasts and are fully enlightened. Hanuman Jayanti is also
celebrated to commemorate this third birth of Hanuman as fully enlightened Guru. The date is the
full-moon (prnim) of the month of Chaitra (Mar-Apr) called Chaitra Prnim. Tulsidas starts the
famous Hanuman chalisa with the line r guru charana referring to this form of Hanuman as
a great teacher of vedic knowledge. The mantra to worship him for vedic knowledge is the Hanumukha vedamrti mantra:

hanumukha siddhirastu

Rmadta Hanuman

Vaisakha Sakrnti Jayanti

Yet another kind of Jayanti is the investment of a great responsibility like coronation of a king or
the appointment as a prime minister. This is a new karma birth and is yet another jayanti. The
date of coronation of the local king is used by all astrologers to mark the horoscopes of subjects
as being born in so-and-so year and date of the kingship. Of these kings, the most important is
r Rama Himself and every year, the Chaitra ukla Pratipada chart is drawn to determine what
lord Rama wishes for the year. This is the chart applicable for the world and is drawn for different
capitals. The moment of ingress of the new lunar year is the manifestation of Vis n
u himself i.e.
Rama. The first sakrnti following this ukla Pratipada is the Vaisakha sakrnti or Mes a
(Aries) sakrnti when the Sun enters Aries. This is the date for the appointment of the Prime
Minister for the year. Hanuman is the Prime Minister of Rama and hence this date of Mes a
sakrnti is celebrated in Odisha and some places as Hanuman Jayanti to commemorate
Hanuman as the Prime Minister of Rama. They sing the rmadta gyatr

om rmadtya vidmahe vyuputrya dhmahi| tanno hanumat pracodayt
and repeat the rmadta mantra with bja or without bja both forms given below:

om ai h hanumate rrmadtya namah|


om rrmadtya hanumate namah|

Rudra-avatra Hanuman

Avina Kr s n a Caturda Jayanti

There is a moment when one suddenly awakens to ones true calling. This happened when
standing on the shores of south India, Hanuman knew that Rvana was across the ocean in
Lanka and he had to ascertain the whereabouts of St for sure. Hanuman awakens to his true
calling and all his powers as being Rudra-avatra are realised. He assumes a gigantic form and
leaps into the air with a bone-chilling war dry in the name of Rama. The trees uprooted from the
mountain follow him for a short distance. The entire description of this moment, given in the
Ramayana, is very thrilling. There is no task which is impossible for him. This Rudra-avatra
jayanti is celebrated in Maharashtra on a day of iva kr s n
a caturda (K14) in the lunar month
Avina. This is after Dusshera (navartri).
He is an incarnation of iva as well as a son of iva in the sense of an avatra hence is is
called Rudra-avatra and extolled as such in some mantras, particularly the 11-syllable mantra
from Mah-Nryana Upanisad.

om ha rudrya hanumate namah

Paca-Mukha Hanuman

Vaisakha Kr s n a Daam
Knowledge, persistence and purity are the keys to success. This comes from the five faces of
Hanuman as a complete incarnation of paca-brahma-mrti Sadiva. Various mantras for
various kinds of knowledge relate to the five-faced Hanuman which is like the five-faced iva
(paca-brahma-mrti). The tenth day is always celebrated for success and in particular the tenth
day of the Avina msa is celebrated as Dusshera when Durg killed Mahiasura or Rama killed
Rvana.
Vaisakha kr s n a
daam gives various mantra siddhi and the paca-mukha Hanuman is
particularly worshipped for protection from black magic, evil spirits and ghosts. In parts of Uttar
Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Odisha and middle India, this is prevalent. The mantras given below
should be learnt from an able teacher.
Mla Paca-mukha Mantra


om harimarkat ya svh
These five mantras can be done for the correction of the five tattva of the trimsamsa which brings
various evils upon us. The mantra is in the tattva order: agni, pr thvi, vyu, jala and ka.

Notes
These graha mantras should be done under guidance of an able Jyotisa Guru. The mantras of
Ad and Pratyadi devata are standard mantra of the Veda.
It is interesting to note that the Sun and Jupiter are catuskona (square) with four bija each while
Saturn is an exception with two bija forming a rekha (line) like the Lakshman rekha which should
not be crossed else suffering is sure to follow. The Sun, Jupiter and Saturn mantras end with
(namah). The Adi devata is worshipped on the top and Pratyadi devata is worshipped on the
bottom
Also note that the remaining six planets are in two groups of three each (a) Moon, Mars and
Mercury forming trikona (trine) and (b) Venus, Rahu and Ketu in satkona (hexangle polygon).
These mantras end with (svh). The Adi devata is worshipped on the left and Pratyadi
devata is worshipped on the right
Bear in mind that the adi and pratyadi devata are reversed in most cases as compared to
standard navagraha. This is used for reversing and ending karma

iva Sahasranma

Perhaps the most revered of the

prayers to Lord iva, the iva Sahasra nma has the power to remove every
malefic aspect or blockage on Bhaspati, represented by Jupiter in vedic
astrology. There are a number of variations of the Shiva sahasranma in the
ancient texts (about 18 scriptures). These include Mahabharata (anusanaparva and nti-parva versions), Liga Pura (2 versions Ch-65 and 97), iva
Mah Pura (Kotirudra Sahit), Vyu Pura, Brahma Pura, Devi Mah
Bhgavata Upa-pura, Padma Pura, Skanda Pura, Vmana Pura,
Mrkaeya Pura, Saura Pura, Bhairava Tantra, Bhringiridi Sahit, Rudra
Yamala Tantra, iva Rahasya Itihsa, ka Kalpa Tantra. Agnideva has concluded
that there are four primary versions of the iva sahasranma[1].

Gyatr Mantras

Gyatr is a chandas, a vedic meter, designed with 24

syllables (phonemes) and having three pada (feet) each having eight syllables. This conception
of gyatr is based on (a) the standard mantra pada which is of eight syllables called as t
ksar.
This is the simplest form of the mantra-pada. --- --- | sa-sa-va-da pa-ra-ra-ja and (b)
the fact that Agni devat, the deva of bh-loka (earth plane of consciousness) has three legs. [
| om bhr agnaye svh]
Each leg is pointed at a direction of 120 from the other. Together, the three legs cover the 360
of the geo-centric zodiac. These feet are exactly at 0, 120 and 240 of the zodiac which are the
gand nta points. When any planet is at these junctions, it is subject to destruction under the feet
of Agni devat. We speak about gand nta at the Sivananda Ashram 15th Annual Vedic Astrology
Conference. Suffice is to say that we need mantra(s) that would prevent various types of
destruction under the terrible flames of Agni at the gand nta. These mantra are in the gyatr
chandas, which alone is most adored by Agni Devat, and are from the Mahnryana
Upanisad. Unlike the gyatr of the Rk Veda which require initiation to function, these mantra
shall work by the mere recitation.
These gyatr are based on the kavacha mantra of the devat. For example, consider the
Nryana Kavacha which is composed of three nma mantra
| om namo nryanya nma Nryana
| om visn ave namah nma Visn u
| om namo bhagavate vsudevya nma Vsudeva

These three names are used in the Nryana Gyatr as taught in the Mahnryana Upanisad.
Just as the three nma-mantra of the Nryana Kavacha can protect the brhmana (Jupiter)
from false allegations and every kind of evil, so also the Nryana gyatr protects when Jupiter
passes through gand nta.

Nryaa Kavacha Part-1

In the Bhagavat Gita, Kr s n

a reveals His universal form
(Vivarpa) to Arjuna which was so formidable for the great hero to even behold. Therefore,
before jumping to worship Vivarpa, we need to see the teachings in the rmad Bhagavata .
Bear in mind that the Vis n u avatra are sustainer of things based on their specific forms.
There are at least three parts to the Nryana Kavacha. The three principal parts are the
1.

ast ksar mantra (om namo nryanya). Ast ksar means ast a
(eight)
aksara (syllable)

2.

dvdasksar mantra (om namo bhagavate vsudevya).

Dvdasa means twelve and aks ara means syllables, hence dvdasks ar mantra refers to
the famous twelve syllable mantra of Vis n
u.

3.

sadksar mantra (om visn ave namah). sad means six and aksara means
syllable.

4.

Translation: r Vivarpa teaches that when there is any sort of fear, then one must adorn the
armour called Nryana Kavacha. To do so, first cleanse the limbs and perform camana.
Thereafter the mantra o namo nryanya is recited in the direct and reverse order while
touching eight parts of the body from feet to head and back.
Let us do this in simple steps.
Step 1: First, wash hands and legs properly and wear some clean clothes.
Step 2: Recite the following camana prayer for cleansing yourself.

om apavitrah pavitro v sarvavasthm gatopi v|
yah smaret pund arikksam sa bhyabhyantarah sucih||
Take some water in your cupped right hand palm and sip it thrice while reciting

r visn u

Step 3: Recite each of the syllables of the eight syllable Nryana mantra while touching the
eight body parts with your fingers. This is called sr s t i nysa (creation process) also known as
utpatti nysa. What we are doing is energizing the eight vital junctions of the body to ensure
proper flow of fluids and energy in the system. By this the body gets the power to heal itself and
create new cells and repair parts.
Nysa is always done with nysa mantra which have to be extricated from the main mantra
which is going to be recited. r Vivarpa has advised that nysa has to be done on eight
specific body parts with each of the syllables of the as t ksar (eight syllable) Nryana mantra.
Each of these syllables is recited after om and then the name of the body part is recited followed
by nmah.

Step 4: Recite each of the syllables of the eight syllable Nryana mantra in the reverse while
touching the eight body parts in the reverse order, with your fingers. This is called sa hra
nysa (dissolution process). What we are doing is energizing the eight vital junctions of the body
to ensure proper removal of toxins and dead cells. By this the body gets the power to heal itself
as the sins are removed.

Nineteen Mantras for Brihaspati

Devaguru Br haspati
The Rk Veda gives nineteen r k (prayers) in two hymns for Br haspati (devat) also referred to as
Brhmanaspati and Ganapati. When using ast ottari da each of these r k are recited for one
year of the da. These are from the second mandala hymn 24 and 25 although the version of
the Rk veda by r Dayananda Sarasvat has given them together, which seems more
appropriate. Anyway, these r k are extremely powerful in protecting us in nineteen ways.

Maha Mrtyunjaya Mantra

Introduction

Mr tyujaya literally means

Victory over Death and Mah-mr tyujaya mantra is also called- Mah-moks a mantra as it gives
the ultimate enlightenment. Received by Mahars i Vasist ha and enshrined as a hymn of the Rk
Veda, it has been sung for thousands of years by the pious who seek penultimate victory over
this mr tyu-loka (earthly plane where death is the only surety).

There are many mantra for warding off evils like death and other suffering given in the sacred
literature of the Hindus. These mantra are of various types but the Mr tyujaya mantra has been
extolled in sacred literature as being the best. This mantra is addressed to Lord Shiva and is
taught in the Rig Veda (7 mandala 59 Chapter) as well as the Yajur Veda (3-60) showing that it is
a ruti having been received by Mahrishi Vasis t ha, the Kula Guru of Bhagavn Sri Rma
Chandra. This Mah-mr tyujaya mantra is from the Rig-Veda (7th Book or Mandala, 59 Chapter)
and needs initiation for attaining siddhi. Anybody can recite this mantra and attain good health,
release from bondage and other problems. This is the greatest panacea for all evils and can be
recited at any time like any other Mah-mantra.

ukrcryas Penance &

teaching

Jyotish teaching
The Mah-mr tyujaya mantra was taught by Lord Shiva to ukrcrya the preceptor of the
demons after he succeeded in the impossible test of hanging upside down from a tree for twenty
years (Vimottari da period) with smoke blowing into him from a fire lit beneath. Even
Br haspati was shocked at the prospect of such a terrible penance and calmly settled to observe
ukrcrya accept the challenge of Indra and succeed.

Tapasvi Yoga definition

Since ukrcrya (Venus in astrology) passed the penance he was glorified as the Tapasvi Raja
(the king of the spiritual discipline and penance). The definition of Tapasvi Yoga comes from this
penance as Saturn (punishment, hard toil), Ketu (smoke blown into the nose and other forms of
self-inflicted torture) and Venus (desire and its renunciation) must come together to define the
personal ability of the Tapasvi.
After the penance, Lord Shiva taught the Mahmr tyujaya mantra to ukrcrya, who under
very compelling circumstances had to teach this to the son of Brihaspati and that is how the
devas also got the mantra. This mantra was given (ruti) to Vasis t ha Maharsi for the welfare of
this world. The mantra and explanation given by ukrcrya to Rs i Dadhicha when the latters
body was cut and thrown by Raja Ks uva, is recorded in the Shiva Purna.

Mantra Pada
ukrcrya said O! Dadhicha, I pray to Lord Shiva and give you the upadea (advise, wisdom,
teaching) of the highest Mah Mr tyujaya mantra. The mantra is in Anus t ubh Chandas and
accordingly, is divided into four padas composed of eight syllables each.

ukrcrya said The first pada is (trayabakka yajmahe) and means we

worship or sing the praise of Lord Tryabakka. Tryabakka is the name of Lord Shiva as the
father of the three worlds bh, bhuva and svarga lokas. He is the father and lord of the three
mandalas Surya, Soma and Agni mandala. He is Mahevara, the lord of the three gunas
Sattva, Rajas and Tamas. He is Sadiva, the teacher of the three tattva tm tattva, Vidy
tattva and Shiva tattva. He is the father (cause and source) of the three energies (agni)
vhaniya, garhapatya and daks i ngni. He is the father of all physical creation through the three
mrti bhta Pr thvi (solid), Jala (liquid) and Tejas or agni (energy). He is the lord of the three
heavens created by the dominance of the three Guna Rajas (Brahma), Sattva (Vishnu) and
Tamas (Shiva). Know Him to be the nirkra (formless) Sadiva as He is above this physical
mode and is their Mahevara. This is the first foot of the mantra (composed of eight syllables).
The second pada of the mantra, continued ukrcrya, is (sugandhi
pust ivardhanam).Sugandhim refers to the fragrance of the flower that spreads in all directions,
and in a similar way Shiva is present in the entire creation, both animate and inanimate. In all the
bhutas (modes of existence), in the three Guna (nature of creation as being Satva, Rajas or
Tamas), in the ten indriya (five jna-indriya or senses and five karma-indriya or organs of
action), in all the devas (33 devas are the source of all illumination and enlightenment) and the
ganas (hosts of demi-gods), Shiva exists and pervades as the illumine tm (soul) and is their
essence. Pustivardhanam is now being explained. That inward dwelling spirit (atman), the
Purusa Shiva is the real sustainer of Prkr ti (and not vice-versa as all people perceive). Starting
with the Mahtattva (primordial state of matter/energy) to the individual parts of creation, the
entire sustenance of the physically created beings (both animate and inanimate) is done by the
imperishable Purusa. You, I, Brahma, Vishnu, the Munis and even Indra & devas are
maintained/sustained (by the tm and that is Him). Since the Purus a (tm Shiva) is the
granter of sustenance to prkr ti (body/nature), he is Pusti-vardhaa.
Having explained the first two pada of the mantra, ukrcrya continued to explain the remaining
two pada. He said the next two pada urvruhamiva
bandhann mr tyormksya mmr tt || (consisting of sixteen syllables) is meaning Prabhu! just
as the ripe cucumber is severed from the bondage of the creeper, in the same manner may we
be delivered from death for the sake of immortality (moksha). Rudra deva is like amr ta (nectar of
immortality). Those who worship Him with good karma, penance and repentance, meditation,
contemplation, prayer or praise, will surely renewed life and vigour. The strength of truth force (in
this mantra) is such that Lord Shiva shall definitely free the worshipper from the bondage of
death because Shiva alone is the giver of bondage and moksha.
This is the Mr tasajvani mantra and has the power to give back life and rescue from death and
great evils. You should adore Lord Shiva and recite this mantra. Water sanctified with this mantra

should be drunk all the time. [Authors note: It is well known that the rudrks a
bead is placed in a
glass of water after being held in the palm during the recitation of the mantra. this water is drunk
during the day.]
Oblations in the sacrificial fire with this mantra is very purifying. Now I shall teach the dhyna for
the mantra. Saying so, ukrcrya started reciting the loka for meditating on Lord Shiva

Dhyna
The dhyna taught by ukrcrya (Siva Purna) is given below. There are other dhyna given in
other texts and these are being quoted at relevant places to the extent necessary. This is to be
recited once before meditating on r Mr tyujaya iva.

aksastramr g
ahastamambujagata mrdhasthacandrastravat
pysrdratanu bhaje sagirija tryaks a
mr t yujayam||
Translation: We praise (meditate) on the eight-armed, three-eyed Lord Mr t yujaya. He sits
cross legged on a lotus (padmsana). He holds two Kumbha (water vessels) with two lower arms
and uses two upper arms to sprinkle water on His own head. The two other lower-most arms
hold the auspicious kalaa on the center of the legs. The remaining two hands hold a rudrks aml and mr g
a mudra (yogic hand postures). The amrita (nectar) dripping from the crescent
moon on His head has made His whole body wet. The daughter of the mountain king (Himvat ~
Himalaya) is seated next to Him.
Explanation: The eight arms represent the eight directions of the zodiac called klachakra. With
each of these arms Lord Mr tyujaya protects the worshipper from the evil hands of fate and
time. The three eyes show his omniscience, the all-knowing iva. Sun is His right eye that
defines righteousness and truth (dharma). Moon is his left eye of attachment and emotion whose
opening is the joy of the world and whose closing is their sorrow. Agni is third eye of omniscience
which is the brhmana guru, the highest parames t h
i guru, the all-knowing eye of supreme
wisdom and knowledge. Kalaa is the pot containing water from five rivers, with five leaves
(paca pallava) representing Vis n u and Varuna. The water sprinkled on His head drops through
the crescent Moon to become Soma which is the nectar of life and it wets his body. This is
symbolic of the rudra-abhis eka ritual of anointing, consecrating by sprinkling water and other
liquids on the iva-liga.
In jyotisa, the Sun represents Lord iva in all signs and is the giver of life. The abhis eka ritual is
a prayer for rain as the Sun draws the water from the oceans by its mighty rays and pours it
down blessing the lands and rivers and bringing life on earth. This single constant action of Lord
Mr tyujaya sustains life on this planet and rudrbhis eka is symbolic of rainfall that sprinkles
water on the ground making it life sustaining. Rain occurs when the heavy rain clouds are forced
to cooler heights by high mountains and other currents. This is the akt (power) of Prvat, the
constant consort of Lord iva, who is referred to in this dhyna as the daughter of Himvat, the
Himalayan king-god.

Dhyna Bja mantra

Mr tyujaya bja, the seed of rejuvenation is actually the jva bja (seed of life which brings all
living beings) is (ju). It is formed from the starting syllable of the word (jva) which is
(ja). This bja was taught originally by Lord iva to Br haspati, due to which Br haspati became
the preceptor of the gods and due to which he was able to save Indra from definite destruction at
the hands of Lord iva. Pleased with his dedication and well-meaning disposition, Lord iva
blessed Br haspati to be known as (jva) by which he shall signify the very existence of life
and by whose presence, the god of death Yama will have to turn away. This power of Br haspati
has been explained in the Mah Nryana Upanisad. In the Kla-Chakra Br haspati becomes r
Jva and sits in the southern direction, which is the path of Yama, thereby blocking death from
happening. So long as r Jva sits in his southern direction, the being shall live. Thus, the
mr tyujaya bja (ju) simply means Jva Upadea.
The Bja mantra was obtained by Kahola-r s i ; the mantra is in Gyatr chandas; the mantra
devat (deity) is Sri Mr t yujaya (form of Shiva). This mantra is to be used for meditation and at
all times for protection from all evils. Bja means seed and unless this seed is panted properly in
the heart how can you expect the tree of bhakti to Lord iva to grow? It is imperative that
meditation be done with this bja mantra.

om ju sah
Meditate with this mantra repeating it very quietly in the mind. Bring the mind to focus on the feet
and recite the monosyllable (om). Then the bja (ju) has to be placed in the heart chakra.
Finally the sahasrara chara on top of the head is brought into metal focus with the seed syllable
(sah).

Understanding the Mah

Mtyujaya Mantra

It is important to understand the meaning of the words as this makes

the repetition meaningful and brings forth the results.
OM is not spelt out in the Rig-Veda, but has to be added to the beginning of all Mantras as given
in an earlier Mantra of the Rig-Veda addressed to Ganapati. This Mantra is given in the prayer
page of my Book Mahrishi Jaiminis Upadesa Sutra.
TRAYABAKKA refers to the Three eyes of Lord Shiva. Trya means Three and Ambakam
means eyes. These three eyes or sources of enlightenment are the Trimrti or three primary
deities, namely Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva and the three AMBA (also meaning Mother or Shakti
are Sarasvat, Lakshmi and Gouri. Thus in this word, we are referring to God as Omniscient
(Brahma), Omnipresent (Vishnu) and Omnipotent (Shiva). This is the wisdom of Br h
aspati and is
referred to as r Datttreya having three heads of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.
YAJMAHE means, We sing Thy praise.
SUGANDHI refers to His fragrance (of knowledge, presence and strength i.e. three aspects) as
being the best and always spreading around. Fragrance refers to the joy that we get on knowing,
seeing or feeling His virtuous deeds.
PUSTIVARDHANAM: Pooshan refers to Him as the sustainer of this world and in this manner,
He is the Father (Pater) of all. Pooshan is also the inner impeller of all knowledge and is thus

Savitur or the Sun and also symbolizes Brahma the Omniscient Creator. In this manner He is
also the Father (Genitor) of all.
URVRUHAMIVA: URVA means VISHAL or big and powerful or deadly. AAROOKAM means
Disease. Thus URVAROOKA means deadly and overpowering diseases. (The CUCUMBER
interpretation given in various places is also correct for the word URVAROOKAM). The diseases
are also of three kinds caused by the influence (in the negative) of the three Gunas and are
ignorance (Avidya etc), falsehood (Asat etc as even though Vishnu is everywhere, we fail to
perceive Him and are guided by our sight and other senses) and weaknesses (Shadripu etc. a
constraint of this physical body and Shiva is all powerful).
BANDHANN means bound down. Thus read with URVAROOKAMEVA, it means I am bound
down by deadly and overpowering diseases.
MRTYORMKSYA means to deliver us from death (both premature death in this Physical world
and from the neverending cycle of deaths due to re-birth) for the sake of Mokshya (Nirvana or
final emancipation from re-birth).
MMRTT means please give me (m) some amr ta (life rejuvinating nectar). Read with the
previous word, it means that we are praying for some amr ta to get out of the death inflicting
diseases as well as the cycle of re-birth.

Steps in Mantra Siddhi

Bhaspati Gyatr

I will advise its recitation for forty days both in the

morning and evening, after lighting a lamp and sitting in any yogic posture (preferably
padmsana which is the picture of Lord iva in the picture) while facing east. Recite the Mahmantra 108 times (one rosary) or its multiples in each sitting. This is the greatest work of
Maharishi Vasist ha. Before commencing the mr tyujaya mantra recite the following small prayer
to the everlasting spirit of the Mahars i for his blessings and guidance.

ucimarkairbr haspatimadhvaresu namasyata| anmyoja cake|| Rig Veda III.62.
Translation: We pray to Br haspati (the Lord of this Universe and the teacher of this Vedic
Knowledge), whose wishes are inviolable, for good thoughts (that will lead to good speech and
actions that cannot be violated as it will be the truth).

Rishi-adi Nyasa
The preparatory rites should be learnt from any book on Karma-knd a (puj method). However
we give the simplest method of reciting this mantra to overcome the greatest of evils. Nyasa is
the method of protecting the self by placing the parts of the mantra on five body parts. These
body parts are the crucial centres for the spiritual energy.
1.

Mantra Rs i is the Guru, the teacher of the mantra and to who the mantra was revealed
for the first time for the benefit of the world siras (head). In this case the Rs i is Maharsi
Vasist ha.

2.

Chandas (meter, which is technically very specific for each mantra) mukha (mouth).
This vedic mantra is in anus t u
bh chandas. This is a metre having four pada (feet) of 8
phonemes each making the entire Anus t ubh meter as composed of 32 (8 x 4 = 32) syllables.

It maybe noted that any change in the metre shall cause a distortion in the chandas and the
mantra vibration shall be ruined.
3.

Devat (the deity of the mantra) hr daya (heart). In this case the devat is Lord Shiva
addressed as r Tryabakkevara Mr tyujaya devat, the jyotirliga.

4.

Bja (the seed syllable that created the mantra and contains the mantra within itself, like
the seed that creates the tree) Liga (sexual organ). There are some opinion on this, but the
most appropriate one is given by Vmadeva Rs i as (hau).

5.

Shakti (the physical power of the mantra like the mother) pada (feet). It is the giver of
gati or direction. In this case the akt is Dev Ar tevar, addressed as (hr).

This portion is only for those who have received instructions for mantra upsana and know about
nysa. They can easily determine the five (or six) mantras for r s i -adi nysa, aga-nysa etc.

The common meters according to the syllable count of a stanza, as multiples of 4: thus, dvipad
virj (20), gyatr (24), us n ih (28), anust ubh (32), br hat (36), pakti (40), tris t ubh (44), and
jagat (48). The mr tyujaya mantra is in the follower or bhakti stanza called anus t ubh (32).
Accordingly, the nysa for the mantra is as follows

Others are required to recite the mantra for Mahars i Vasist ha 21 times.

va vasist hya namah

Pryama
Prnyama is performed either with the Sadiva bja mantra, Kahola mr tyujaya bja mantra or
a joint form of both called the Mah-mr t yujaya bja.
1.

The Sadiva bja was obtained by Vmadeva Mahars i and the Sadiva Bja is
(hau). The Sadiva Bja mantra is (om hau sah) and this is used for
prnyama. This is preferred for protection of knowledge and the spiritual path.
For good health and protection from evils in the mundane world, the Mr t yujaya bja

2.

obtained by Kahola Mahars i is used. Mr tyujaya bja is (ju) and the mr tyujaya bja
mantra is (om ju sah).
The initiated used a combined form of the Sadiva and Mr t yujaya bja to form the

3.

Mah-mr tyujaya bja mantra. The Mah-mr tyujaya bja mantra is (om hau
ju sah) and includes both Sadiva (hau) and Mr tyujaya (ju).
It is also advisable to practise Vmadeva Rs i s Sadiva Bja mantra and Kahola Rs i s
Mr tyujaya Bja mantra separately. This is my personal recommendation and is in the lines of
the standard texts on Tantra. Others can skip this and go to the Mahmantra directly.

Vyasa :-

Vysa Mtyujaya Mantra

The students of SJC and those belonging to the Vais n

ava parapar should worship the
Jagadguru Maharsi Vedavysa instead with the Kahola Mr tyujaya Mantra prefixed and
suffixed. This is explicitly explained in Mantra Mahodadhih.
Vysa Mantra is defined as the starting name syllable i.e. nma bjks ara as taught by
Datttreya

vy vedavysya namah
To this is added the Mr tyujaya bja in the formula called saput a i.e. prefix and reverse suffix.
The Vysa Mr tyujaya mantra as given below has the mr tyujaya mantra before and after with
the latter part being in the reverse.

om ju sah vy vedavysya namah sah ju om
This mantra protects the school, the learning, books and the tradition. It protects dharma as
manifesting in this planet. It protects all that is good for this planet as this is the form of the
highest guru as an incarnation of iva. Vedavysa is known as the joint incarnation of iva and
Visn u and is called Hari-Hara vea. This mantra removes the blemish of Saturn on Jupiter, on
the Lagna or Lagnea and always protects a native who bows for guidance.

>>

Japa :-

Mtyujaya Japa
This is to be followed by the Dhyna Mantra (Meditation) of r Tryabakkevara (One of the
twelve jyotirliga) and then meditate on r Tryabakkevara and Sri Ar tevar (Shakti) with
the relevant mantra as outlined above. Then follows the Rudra Puj. Meditate for at least 15
Minutes before starting the Japa (recitation of mantra). Those conversant with TM or other forms
of meditation, dhyna, dhrana etc. can use the mantra described above.
Vmadeva Rs is Sadiva Bja-mantra gives all happiness and removes all evils and sins. Tamas
is destroyed resulting in quick progress into Sattva Guna. Kahola Rishis Mr tyujaya Bja-mantra
gives good health, vitality and the native as removed from sin. The intelligence is restored and all
forms of black magic etc. are destroyed by the insurmountable omnipotent Lord iva.
Then repeat the following Mr tyujaya mantra 108 times or multiples of this number.

Japa
Japa is the repetition of a mantra for a fixed number of times. Normally this is in multiples of 108.
Based on the teachings of Harihara in Prana Mrga, we advise that this mantra should be
recited for 8000 times in a period of forty days. The recitation of 108 mantra for forty days both in
the morning and evening covers this requirement. For other purposes larger number of
repetitions are advised.
After lighting a lamp and sitting in any yogic posture (preferably padmsana which is the picture
of Lord Siva in the picture) while facing east. Recite the mah-mantra 108 times (one rosary) or
its multiples in each sitting. This is the greatest work of maharishi Vasis t ha. Before commencing
the Mah Mr tyujaya mantra recite the mantra to the everlasting spirit of the mahars i Vasist h
a
for his blessings and guidance.

Translation: Obeisance to Lord Ganea. Nrada teaches Those who bow their heads in
obeisance to the son of Gour, Vinyaka who is the refuge protector of his devotees shall attain
longevity, fulfillment of all desires and fortune prosperity. Thereafter the great sage takes the
twelve most holy names of Sri Ganea [in the order of the twelve zodiac houses]. He concludes
that whosoever repeats these twelve names at dawn, noon and dusk shall always remove every
obstacle and trouble in his path to sure success and attain good fortune.
Students desiring knowledge and learning shall attain their wish while those desiring wealth,
obtain wealth.
Couples desiring children shall be blessed with progeny while the spiritualists aspiring for moks a

shall get sad-gati (guru and path to attain salvation).

By continuously reciting this hymn as described, these objects and constant association with r
Ganea is attained in six months. If continued for a year, then without doubt, siddhi (perfection,
expertise) is attained. Making eight copies of this hymn [writing on paper using red ink] and
distributing to eight learned people (brhmana) brings wisdom and great knowledge.

Badhak damana mantras

The mantras associated with the Ganesha Yantra have been taught in Mantra Mahodadhih of
Mahidhara. The damana (supression) bija (phoneme) is suffixed to these twelve names of
Ganesha to obtain the badhak damana mantras. These mantras remove all obstacles and
ensure that the work is completed successfully.

Ucchista Ganesha

This is the dancing form of Ganesha and the meditation etc,

visualize Ganesha in a rather jovial, compromising mood. Ucchista Ganesha is worshiped to
remove domestic disharmony and the relationship with spouse is improved. All sorts of troubles
with in-laws etc vanish and the family gets together and lives happily. For the last two decades
we have advised the placing of a statue of dancing Ganesha (idol) near the headstand of the bed
and the relationship between couples has improved. Marriages which were on the verge of
breakdown have smoothed out in a most miraculous manner.
Sit facing east wearing clean clothes with an image or idol of dancing Ganesha in front. Light
lamp, incense, offer some sweets and water.

Vahana :-

 vhana mantra

This mantra is for the mouse on which Ganesha rides. Saturn represents sin and the mouse
represents Lord Yama, the god of death, who drags souls to the netherworld (narka) to be
punished for their sins. To overcome sins, Yama was turned into a mouse and had to carry
Ganesha around the world. Thereby his sins were dissolved. All human beings suffer due to sins
of past karma. To overcome them, they too must become like the mouse and carry Ganesha
around the world (temple of Lord Shiva and Shakti i.e. Shiva Linga). Reciting this mantra
circumbulate the Shiva Linga, prayer place or temple three times (at least) carrying the idol of
Ganesha.

Guru Vandan

A childhood habit that has always stood the test of time,

is the Guru Vandana. This was learnt at a young age and one does not need any ritual, time nor
place to recite it. However, we have done this everyday loudly when younger and silently when
older. Hope you all benefit from this. All mantras and remedies start working, no matter how bad
the dasha or evil the transit, Gurudeva always makes things work for the better. Kindly forgive the
typos and email me srath@srath.com for corrections. I had learnt this in the odiya language and
this is the nearest sanskrit that I get.

Tirupati Vyakaevara

Tirumala Venkateswara Temple, is a famous Hindu temple

located in the hill town Tirumala, near Tirupati in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh, India.
Tirumala is a hill town in Chittoor district in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. Tirumala,
dedicated to Lord Vishnu, is one of the most popular centers of todays Hindu/Vedha Religion.
The temple is situated on Venkatadri(also known as Venkatachala or Venkata Hill) the seventh
peak in the seven hills of Tirumala, and hence is also known as the Temple of Seven Hills
(Saptagiri in Sanskrit). The presiding deity of the temple, Lord Venkateswara, is also
known by other names Balaji, Vishnu, Govinda and Srinivasa. The temple is reportedly the
richest (discussions exist about the Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Kerala) and the most visited
place of worship in the world, having overtaken Koneswaram temple in Trincomalee following its
17th century loot and destruction. The temple is visited by about 50,000 to 100,000 pilgrims daily
(3 to 4 crore people annually on an average), while on special occasions and festivals, like the
annual Brahmotsavam, the number of pilgrims shoots up to 500,000, making it the most visited
holy place in the world.
According to legend, the temple has a murti (deity) of Lord Venkateswara, which it is believed
shall remain here for the entire duration of the present Kali Yuga. In South Indian Alwar/Nayanar
Sri Vaishnava tradition the temple is considered one of the 108 Divya Desams.
This place was well known as Venkatachala for centuries. This name, it is believed, was given by
Lord Brahma Himself. This hill was in the Dwarparayuga known by the name of Sheshachala or
Sheshadri. The significance of this hill Venkatachala means Ven means SIN and Kata means
CUT, DESTROYED OR BURNT. It means that a person who worships the Lord in this place will
get cleansed of all his sins.

om bhrnamo bhagavate vyankat eya

Puranic literature which was composed roughly around the post-Mauryan and early-Gupta era
also mentions Tirupati as the Aadhi Varaha Kshetra. The Puranas associate the site with Lord
Varaha, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. The Varaha shrine holds great importance in Tirupati and
is said to be older than the main sanctum of Venkateswara.

om bhrnamo bhagavate varhya

om bhrnamo bhagavate skarya
The significance of Tirumala hills is extolled in one of the worlds oldest known sacred texts, the
Rigveda, and it is described as Vengadam Hills[citation needed]. The idol representation is in
essence the Godheads own manifestation for facilitating worship (hence known as
Archavathara). It symbolizes the Supreme Spirit in all its glory and in its immanent as well as
transcendental aspects (viz the Brahman of Vedanta). It is in this sense that the self-manifest
image of Vishnu (the Vedic God of Gods) on the Vengadam hills (Tirumala) is hailed with the
words Venkata-brahmane-namah.
The person, devoid of wealth and vision, is implored to go to the hill which burns up all evil
(vikata for Venkata) and drives away all obstacles to peace and prosperity. The call of the rishi
Sirimbitha has obviously not gone in vain

Ganesha Mantras
Beejakshara mantra

Sri Ganapati is the elephant headed son of Sri Shiva, belonging to the divine family that delivers
the soul from darkness and sin, the specific function of Sri Ganapati is to teach and drive away
ignorance (avidhya). He is represented by Ketu, the significator of emancipation from all kinds of
bondage including rebirth.
The Beejakshara of Sri Ganapati is gaM
Bja mantra: (ga) which is also called the Gt bja (for Srimad Bhagavat Gt) by those
learned in mantra stra. This is the starter of everything and just like the Bhagavat Gt,
provides the power to assimilate all knowledge.
Tantrika bja (physical abilities and strength): (gag) which sounds like Gaga

Vidya-Siddhi Mantra
The fourth house rules education and learning. Any affliction coming on this houses causes loss
of learning, breaks in education and the mind has problems in focusing on studies. This
phenomena is marked in children between 3 to 12 years of age due to the natural impact of
Mercury (Naisargika dasa). This is caused due to the shad-ripu or the six flaws that cause tamas
guna to prevail. A mantra that removes the energies from the sixth house and places them at the
fourth house will help in rectifying the problem. One such mantra is given below as it has six
words (sixth house energies removed) and sixteen syllables (fourth house spiritual energy
added).
Siddha Mantra:
namo ganapate tubhya jyest hajyest hya te namah
This mantra is fully protected on both sides, a technical term called saput a, by the word
(nama). This word is means obeisances or bowing with complete humility and is of neuter
(napunsaka) gender. The mantra brings humility in children and they learn to bow to the teacher,
elders, books and the knowledge. Just as water flows from a higher level to a lower level, so also
the knowledge and good qualities will flow from a head in the higher level to the bowing head at
a lower level.

Karya Siddhi Mantra

How many times have you said or heard if only I had persisted or I should have been stronger?
Strength of mind and body to achieve is a rare gift seen in the great achievers. This is called
Parakrama bala or the ability to drive themselves towards the goal and become great men.
The third house has the energies that can be used for sexual activity (in fact the third house is
called maithua bhava implying sexual union), fighting or any physical action. The fifth house is
the seat of the thought that causes this action and the tenth house indicates the action itself. A
mantra that takes the energies of the third house to the tenth (or other) house is the best for daily
practice as it reduces the sexuality and bestiality in men helping them to focus better on the work
at hand. The following is a three word (takes energy from the third house), ten syllable (deposits
the spiritual energy into the tenth house) mantra where the deity sits in the fifth house. This
mantra finds mention in the Mah Nryana Upanisad.
Siddha Mantra:
om mahganapataye namah

Labha-Siddhi mantra

If every thought which is the seed for action

is successfully concluded, we would be the happiest people in the world. Alas this does not
happen and we are left wondering as to the cause of the obstruction and spend money, material
and other resources trying to achieve the objective.
A mantra that takes the energies of the fifth house to the eleventh house would be the best as it
converts the knowledge (fifth house) to gains (eleventh house). Such a delightful mantra that
helps us to achieve objectives is given in the Shiva Purana. It is said that Ganesha has two akt
(1) Siddhi dev giving all abilities and accomplishments and (2) Buddhi dev giving supreme
intelligence and sharp mind. They have two children (1) Laks a (goal attainment) which comes
from Siddhi and (2) Lbha (gains of hopes and desires) which comes from Buddhi dev. Both
these objectives are in the 10th (Laksa) and 11th (Lbha) houses. In the natural zodiac these
houses are ruled by Saturn Capricorn and Aquarius, making them difficult to achieve due to
various weaknesses that people possess. This mantra removes the ills of Saturn that plague
mankind and makes the sdhaka very competent and brilliant. It is strongly recommended if
Saturn is either tmakraka or aspects the Lagna (or Lagnea) in the chart. No doubt that the
iva Purna gives much emphasis to this mantra.

Kamal Vidy

r Kamal Laksm

Kamaltmik of golden complexion and perfectly proportioned, is bathed by four elephants from
the four directions (kendra) using amr ta kalaa. Amr ta (nectar) constantly flows from kalaa
(jars) and nourishes the rivers and beings of the universe. She has four hands. In the two hind
hands, she holds two lotuses and her two fore hands are in abhaya mudr (fearlessness) and
vra mudr (boons) respectively. She is seated in padmsana (lotus posture) on a red lotus that
symbolizes purity. Although listed as the tenth Mahvidy, Kamaltmik is actually the first vidy
and Kali is the last.
Kamala means red lotus and Kamal refers to Her as the essence of the red lotus. This is
another name for Laksm. Her themes are associated with the exaltation of Venus (1) causing
fertility and marriage, (2) bestowing wealth, food and grains and (3) restoring the vitality and
immune system of the body. Kamala Laks m is the goddess of fortune, riches, marriage,
relationships, fertility and children, wealth, every kind of food and material well being.
SymbolsMantraStotra P1P2P3P4P5P6

Padmsana is automatically
attained by one who is merged with the bja (r) and the one name that automatically
purifies everything Visn u. Meditation initially on (A) the bja (r) and later on (B) the
mantra (om visn ave namah) are the prerequisites before attempting Kamaltmik
siddhi as they start the purification process. Every brhmana, be he of any tradition, knows too
well that he cannot do any pj without first purification by the name of Vis n u.
Two Red Lotus are symbolic of Her nature as that of the Sun god Srya who also carries two
red lotus in two hands. Jyotis a helps us to understand this very easily. Mahvidy akt are
associated with the 7th bhva (opposite) just as the 7th bhva shows the Doctorate (PhD) in
siddha (D24 chart). Venus is the significator of 7th bhva and the opposite sign from this is
the Lagna itself. Sun is the significator of Lagna. This shows the connection between
Kamaltmik and Srya. However the difference is that Kamaltmik actually connects the 7th
bhva with the Lagna thereby bringing marriage, fertility, business and success, foreign travels
and many blessings. Libra is among the three most fruitful signs of the zodiac and symbolizes
the benediction of Kamaltmik.
Abhaya Mudr or fearlessness which comes from complete knowledge or enlightenment is the
Hasa benediction. The exaltation of Venus needs the constant support of Jupiter for stability. In
simpler words, wealth (of every kind) comes by fortune or industry, but only stays with those who
have the wisdom to hold on to it.
Varada Mudr is the granting of personal desires. Both these Abhaya and Varada mudr are
also associated with r Somanth iva. Together they are the Gajakesari Yoga

Namaste! We welcome the divine you

SoHamsa is the name of the Sun God as

addressed to by Sri Ganesha. Soham is a Sanskrit word or mantra which means I am
Him (Him refers to the omniscient Brahma) and thus, Soham is the mantra stating aham
brahmasmi. All the living beings on earth produce this sound So while inhaling and
Ham when they exhale.
In the reverse, the word hamsa is derived from joining of the words ahaM + saH and
represents the Jivatman/ individual soul. These two words sohaM and haMsa are the
same with reversed phonemes representing pranayama (breathing process) where one

starts with the inhalation and the other with exhalation. Taken together, these words
sohaM + haMsa = sohaMsa and refers to the merging of the Jivatman and
Paramatmanand that alone is the real goal of Jyotisa or Vedic Astrology. Every other
seemingly significant objective is only another milestone for this goal. No doubt then that
the great Adi Shankara wrote the
Prapacasra Tantra where the five great mantras addressing each of the tattva
(devat) are (om) (hr) (hasah) (soha) (svh) and
together they form the prapaca mantra

om hr hasah soha svh
