Mātṛika Mantras
The term Mātṛka can refer to the subtle form of speech. The Mātṛka deities are associated with every letter of the Sanskrit alphabet and represent a certain energy or set of energies and denote various characteristics inherent in the power of the respective alphabet. Akṣara mālā - the garland of alphabets, also denoted as Mālinī, is a tool that can lead to self-realization by awakening the latent Kuṇḍalini energy within us.
The Mātṛka śakti-s encompass all aspects of Creation, Maintenance and Destruction. They represent the gross and subtle aspects of matter and energy and are omnipresent.
In the tantric aspect, they constitute all mantras and are the power of all bīja-s (sound syllables). The mātṛka-s are said to be deposited in the various parts of the human body and their invocation activates the subtle cakras and energy centers within the body, thereby helping us attract and fulfill all our desires. The Mātṛka invocation itself is said to fulfill all desires and is also part of the activation of mantras through the life infusing (Prāṇa Pratiṣṭha). The Mātṛka-s are also part of various Tantric nyāsā-s (placement of mantras on body parts) and are quintessential for the fructification of mantras and the subsequent fulfillment of the cherished desires. The ultimate motive and purpose of the mātṛka-s is to grant us liberation from the cycle of life and death and reveal our true existence, as consciousness Itself.
Below is a brief understanding of the meaning of each of the 51 mātṛka-s, which constitute the vowels and consonants of the Sanskrit language. The letters in combination with bindu constitute the mātṛka-s. The exceptions are the bindu and the visarga, which are the 15th and 16th letters of the alphabet, which represent themselves as part of the mātṛka-s.

Sir thanks for sharing this wonderful article. Sir are the anga nyasa and kara nyasa which are there for Mantras do those beeja also come under the matrika mantra. How are they different from each other. Also I have read somewhere that if we chant all the Sanskrit alphabets from beginning to end and again from end to beginning order this itself covers all the Mantras is it true sir kindly let us know Thanks and Regards Krishnakant
May 28, 2019 09:58 PM
We have only described the mātṛka-s very briefly. There are dhyāna śloka-s and other details associated with each mātṛka. All mantra bīja-s are made of mātṛka-s and represent the sum total of the benefits accrued from each mātṛka, plus the individual bīja itself. The Sanskrit letters themselves represent the power indicated by the associated mātṛka, but the inclusion of the bindu fulfills the desires. Reversing the mātṛka-s is followed for some tantric mantras and is said to accrue benefits by removing all ills associated with the base mantra. Recitation of the mātṛka-s from am̐ to kṣam̐ is itself a mantra said to fulfill all desires and is considered to be a pre-requisite for energizing yantras.

Sir thanks for the response

There is always a talk on 64 Matrkas and Yogini ... does that mean that there are 64 akshara list as well?
May 05, 2023 10:05 PM
I am not aware of the 64 Mātṛkas but the Yoginis are mentioned. Maybe the various combinations of the consonants also give rise to further mātṛkas. I am not aware of any tantra that describes the additional mātṛkas. If you do have any such information that has been researched and published, please do let us know.

For a long time I have wondered what God looks like in His Supreme and purest form. I looked up and found Him very far away; if you look up, you will see Him extremely far away. I looked down and was surprised at how close He is; if you look down, you will see Him very close. What do I mean? I mean that God in His Supreme and Pure form is something Physical and Material... but He is something more Material and Physical than what you are seeing and touching. If you take a piece of stone in your hand and compare it with God in His pure form, you will see that He is more physical and material than this stone in its form. Out of the 51 Mātṛkas, God in His purest form is the letter "y", but without any vowel; this letter is God becoming Himself; how so? If you look down, you will see Him very close in the form of this letter alone; if you look up, you will see Him very far away in the form of this letter; If you go towards this letter while looking down, you will be transported to the top instantly, without making an upward movement; you will notice that it is a top that grows, it is not static, it is a God that does not stop growing - this is transcendence. But what surprised me is that the top is very, very material and physical; it is more physical than what you see here today. It is as if this Physical Universe was something very close to what exists at the top; it is as if this Physical Universe was very close to being completed, but it was not. This reinforces the idea that this Material Universe was not completed and that the Creator (Brahmā) fell before finishing what he had planned in his mind at the beginning (that is why there is so much pain, confusion and uncertainty in this Universe). I am sure of this because of the name of the Lord Brahmā of our Universe: YHVH. Do you know what these letters mean and what his Mantra is? His Mantra is: " yhōvāḥ । " Surprisingly the first letter of his Mantra is the letter "y", but unaccompanied by a vowel. This letter "y" alone is infinitely higher than the rest of the Mantra. The "hōvāḥ" part of the Mantra is like a grain of sand in the ocean which is "y". Lord Brahmā of our Universe was only able to mirror and create a Physical Universe with the letters "hōvāḥ", but he could not handle this force which is "y" and he went mad and fell. Only this letter was missing for him to finish the creation. This fallen Brahmā did not say from the beginning that his name was "yhōvāḥ" (YHVH), he revealed this only later after his appearance to a human being; he refers to himself by a name that reveals what he and this universe should have been from the beginning, had the creation been fully completed. People think that Kṛṣṇa always existed, but He only came into existence after all the trouble caused by Lord Brahmā in our universe. To understand this situation better, I will have to speak of Sathya Sai Baba (who passed away in 2011). This Sathya Sai Baba was not a charlatan and was actually an Avatar of Kṛṣṇa. People do not understand the essence of Kṛṣṇa very well; he is both Brahmā and Viṣṇu, but with the predominance of the nature of Śiva; this proves that even Vaiṣṇavas do not actually know Kṛṣṇa. Continuing the story, Sathya Sai Baba set the date of his death to be 10 years after 2011 (Avatars can choose the date of death), but Yhōvāḥ (YHVH) wanted to humiliate Kṛṣṇa and weakened his body to make him die prematurely. You will ask me, "How can this Brahmā do this to Kṛṣṇa Himself?" I have already said that the Physical Universe as you know it today is something recent and had never been created before, and that for a Brahmā to create something like this Universe he was certainly trying to mirror the Supramental in the form of a created Universe, but he could not do it and fell down. What I mean is that this Brahmā of our universe tried to deal with forces which are above Kṛṣṇa, and he did so in parts, because gross physicality came into existence, but not in the fullness of the letter "y" which is the Supramental which alone makes everything else seem insignificant. This Brahmā gained great strength before he fell down, but he was still very strong even after he had become very weak due to his evil and diseased nature. You will certainly see that Kṛṣṇa and other Gods do not have much direct strength in the material, physical field because that is something of the Supramental, but it is incomplete. But this Brahmā has killed almost a hundred thousand people at one time with just one attendant or angel. This fallen Brahmā (Yhōvāḥ) has more mastery over matter than Kṛṣṇa, Lalitā, Pratyaṅgirā, GuhyāKālī, all Divine Gurus, all these Gods. The problem of the cycle of birth and death would be easily solved if this fallen Brahmā (Yhōvāḥ) would cooperate and give proper orders, but he only gets in the way. These Gods (Kṛṣṇa, Lalitā, Pratyaṅgirā, etc.) are "invisible hands" influencing physicality to the best of their ability to help, but they are totally dependent on Yhōvāḥ to do anything of extreme material impact; gross physicality is something of the Supramental, something far above these Gods. But the good news is that what Brahmā planned to create before he fell will come to fruition sooner or later in an infallible way; how so? Scientists today say that our Universe is in the process of expansion, that is, it is growing. What is the spiritual explanation for this? Our Universe is moving towards what Brahmā planned from the beginning, but was unable to complete. This happens slowly because of the fall. Brahmā's word cannot be taken back, so even though this Universe is fortunately destined to become what he wanted before he fell. If the Gods could do something faster, they would have done it already. If I were to illustrate how our Universe is today, it would be like a "car without a driver", but since Brahmā left imprinted in the Supramental what he planned before he fell, no one will be able to stop this Universe from becoming what was planned. In this way, I explained why the various Gods of Hinduism cannot help a human being in the way they expect. They cannot, due to the peculiarities of this Universe that I have already explained. So we can conclude that the Supramental or the letter "y" is something physical and gross, but more physical and gross than what you see today and this is more powerful and the origin of what they call spiritual. Thus I explained why the true God is only reachable through a physical body: it is because he is closer to the physical than to the spiritual. The Supramental is physical, but more physical and real than the current state of things. Finally, you may ask me why the letter "y" is not in Vallalar's Mantra on Arut Perum Jothi. It turns out that Brahmā (Yhōvāḥ) is something more objective, while Vallalar goes straight to the "feeling" behind this letter. If you approach the letter "y" objectively, you will go crazy just like Brahmā went crazy. Only through the "feeling" explained by Vallalar is it possible to deal with this letter "y" which is Cit Sabha (Supramental Realm). The letter "h" is Unmani Akasha; the letter "o" Sphutatara Kriya Shakti; the letter "v" is Maya-Pralayakala; the letter "a" is Anuttara-Cit-Amṛta; the letter "ā" is Ānanda who is sovereign over the Panchakrityas Creation, Preservation, Destruction, Involution and Evolution; the letter "ḥ" is Visarga and signifies the expansion and contraction of the Universe. The secret of why death exists lies in this Visgarga "ḥ": the contraction and expansion of the Universe is occurring outside the letter "y", therefore subject to death; if the Universe starts to expand and contract from this letter, it does not die. This is the Mantra "yhōvāḥ", which should not be recited because it refers to Brahmā who no longer remembers his nature, but his Mantra is the objective project of what our Universe will be in the long term. Since only humans can extract the "feeling" of the letter "y", it will be humans who will heal the Gods and the fallen Brahmā in the future. Today they are sick, but they will be healed by this letter "y". But who can replicate the feeling of this letter? The news I know is that only human beings can. But as I said, Brahmā's original plan before he fell will happen anyway because there is no one who can stop it. The physical is of the Supramental, if the Gods could do something they would have done it already. This Universe is a car without a driver, but it will arrive at the right destination anyway; what can change is the route. The Gods can only change the route, but not the destination of this Universe. So I tried to explain as clearly as possible what really happened and is happening.

Dear Agni, for an individual whose Amatyakaaraka is the Sun—and given your previous discussions on various Karakas—is it permissible for them to directly commence the chanting of the RajaShyamala mantra, or is adherence to the prescribed Krama of Raja Shyamala essential?

Perhaps a question you may still have is: "Why am I here?" You won't remember this, but you were already perfect before diving into this creation, an atom of light from the Supramental. You won't remember, but it was you who chose to dive into this problematic Creation of Brahma. Why did you do this in the past? Out of Love and Compassion for this fallen Brahma. You couldn't contain yourself because you were pure compassion and love. You dove into this flawed creation to heal it and save this Brahma who had gone mad. Even instrumental beings like Vishnu, Shiva and other Gods dove into this creation to help. This Brahma has no soul and was mad. His first "clones or attendants" had no soul and detestable beings of the worst kind emerged. You and other atoms of the supreme being had to start "incarnating" into these beings that Brahma created, otherwise the situation would get completely out of control with beings of incalculable evil nature. These soulless beings from the beginning of this creation had to be completely destroyed. Brahma’s creation of our Universe did not have souls like yours in the beginning. Everything that is soulless and out of control in this Universe needs to be destroyed quickly. But things were worse than we imagined before we plunged into this creation. The result? We all went mad from the poison of this creation; even the Gods went mad. They all forgot. Almost everyone forgot the original reason we came to this Universe; even the Gods forgot and started playing with each other. There are other Universes that are not physical (not supramental); but this Physical Universe is Supramental, but incomplete; that is why you are involved in it, as a perfect atom of this God who is pure Light, Grace and Compassion infinite. You have come to heal this Universe; that was the original plan. Perhaps your last question is: why doesn’t this Supramental God do something? He has been doing it for a long time; your soul is an atom and a child of this God and you have come to intervene for that purpose; He also already knows that this Universe will be what Brahma planned from the beginning (Supramental), sooner or later - only the route changes, this destiny does not; all the pain involved is as little as possible so that everything goes as planned in the end. Something that he must do soon is grant the fruit of a long time of Sadhana even to those who do not practice it, on a large scale, when the time is right. This God is different; he does not want anything from you; he just wants you to remember why you came here; the rest he gives everything for free; by pure grace, even if you do not deserve it, he opens all your Chakras and elevates your soul to the heights he wants; he just wants you to remember the reason that made you dive into this creation. The other God called Shiva is called "Adiyogi" because he is a God who dived into this Universe and tried to "help" with the best of his abilities, but he ended up poisoned too and this was reflected in the knowledge he transmitted, where he preaches "running away" from this Universe instead of healing it. These Gods do not do this out of malice; they truly think of helping, but they cannot do so satisfactorily; they do not have great power and influence over the physical and gross matter because this is Supramental and above them, even if it is incomplete. But the fact is that you have never been truly hurt because you, as a perfect atom of the Supreme God, remain untouched since the beginning. It is our instruments that cause us pain; a pain that will unfortunately be part of the process. But it was you who chose to immerse yourself in this Universe; perhaps you do not understand the size of the love and compassion that you truly have as an atom of the Supreme God. You cannot measure the size of your true love and why you were moved to come here to this Universe; when you remember the size of your love, this God will give you everything for free, anything. He does not want anything; he does not need anything and he does not think that you should pay for your sins. You need the right attitude to let him forgive all your sins. Because you are equal to him in power and greatness, he can only intervene if you have the right mentality and feeling. The situation is not so easy to intervene in free will because of the greatness of these atoms or souls that have greatness and power like their Father. The quickest intervention depends on the correct mentality of these souls. After everything I have said, you will feel compassion even for the bad ones because you will see that it is not their fault. The worst pain for a soul, which is the atom of the supreme, is having to attack and destroy brothers in order to continue its journey thinking not only about its own well-being, but about the healing of this Universe. This hurts because this evil person came to heal this Universe too, but he forgot. So we have the situation where brothers who came to heal this Universe attack each other. All the people on this planet are atoms of the supreme; there are atoms of the supreme even in animals.
