Sarva Yantra Mantra Tantra Utkīlana Dīpana Sañjīvana śāpavimocana Mantra Krama       

(सर्व यन्त्र मन्त्र तन्त्र उत्कीलन दीपन सञ्जीवन शापविमोचन क्रम)

Prologue –

It is believed that by default all Mantras, yantras, stotras and kavacas are said to be locked and sleeping. There are procedures and rites called samskārā-s that are mentioned in the tantras for unlocking and awakening them.

The word Kīlakaṃ means a pin and is generally specified in the Viniyoga section of a mantra. Understanding and acknowledging the Kīlakaṃ bīja (seed) mantra, helps with the unlocking of the mantra in a gradual manner. It is to be noted that the Kīlakaṃ bīja is placed on the navel Maṇipūraka cakra, which is said to be the energy center amongst the cakras and is the key to the higher and lower cakras. The Creator Brahma, is said to arise from the navel of Mahāviṣṇu and is bestowed with the power to manifest the Universe.

The Mātṛkās are made up of the Sanskrit Alphabet with the nāda-bindu suffixed to each one of them. Each Mātṛkā is endowed with a unique power that facilitates the acts of Creation, Preservation and Destruction. In the human context, they help us in achieving success in various aspects of our life and gradually infuse spirituality and lead us towards self-realization and ultimate emancipation called Mokṣa.

Every mantra is a combination of Mātṛkā alphabets and therefore the awakening of the Mātṛkās in the form of mantras and stotram, is considered key to the fruition of all mantras.

While there are specific śāpavimocana, utkīlana, dīpana and sañjīvana mantras available for main mantras like Durga Saptaśati, Ṣoḍaśī etc, there are many more mantras for which, these are not available. In that scenario if you wish to quickly awaken the mantras then there are 2 variants of Sarva śāpavimocana/Utkīlana mantras available in tantras, both of which are attributed to Śiva Rahasya and in praise of the Divine Mother Lalita Tripurasundari.

Option1 (Includes both Stotra and Mantra) : Following, is a general purpose list of mantras and a stotram (hymn) for awakening (sañjīvana), unlocking (utkīlana), brightening (dīpana), enlivening and curse removal (śāpavimocana) of any mantra, yantra, stotra and kavacam. It is said to be derived from Śaiva Tantras and is in the form of a dialogue between Śiva and His consort Pārvatī.

Option2: will be posted soon (contains only an abridged Stotra)
