SHIVA PANCHAKSHARI MANTRA JAPA

No. Siddhi mantra is a personal mantra containing bijaksharas. Shiva Panchakshari mantra is considered as Supreme mantra, which also forms the central part of Yajur Veda. 

Thank you very much for having pointed out these errors.. I have corrected these errors. 

I have taken this from Ramaskrishan Mutt Publication. 

Yes, all these are to be practiced daily, at least once a day.. 

Hello dear Ravi, how many times should i chant the mantra ?

That is left to your convenience. No prescribed limit for daily japa. 

Dear Ravi, How I breathe singing the mantra? , i mean , 1 om namah shivaya when inhaling and another when exhaling? blessings

Always time taken for exhalation should be more than the time taken for inhalation. Therefore, you can adopt 1:2 mantra recitation inhalation:exhalation. 

Om Namahshivaya is the mantra,.You can chant this mantra without initiation. 

I checked with mantra text book I have. I have corrected one mistake which you have pointted - साङकुशं sāṅakuśaṁ. Others agree with mantra text. Thank you for pointing the mistake 

Raviji, Sir, you give "guhyati guhya" correctly on your pages for Maha Shodashi, Kamakala Kali, Matangi, Chandi Navakshari, Dakshina Kali, etc. Why would the word "secret" be "huhya" here only? Perhaps your source text has a typo. We also know the fearless mudra is "abhaya". Not apaya. Respectfully, Richard

Namaste Lucky. The greatest mantra is that of the deity to which your heart has the most devotion. The greatest mantra is that of the deity you love the most. By dedicating yourself to the mantra of the beloved deity, you become equal to the deity. By the dedicated repetition of the mantra for a long time, your body of flesh and bones, which is composed of innumerable mantras, will all be replaced by the mantra of the beloved deity, therefore, every pore of your body will begin to chant the mantra of your deity alone. Śiva Pañcākṣarī belongs to the respected and acclaimed Ūrdhvāmnāya, which is also one of the doors to the Anuttarāmnāya (residence of Lalitā). If you get too close to your adored deity, say the following to her: "I know you are also no different from Lalitā, bless me by showing her form dela to me." You will be surprised to see Śiva transform into Lalitā. Śiva Pañcākṣarī is complete in every way, who can eliminate all planetary afflictions, bestow the four puruṣārthas, bestow all powers related to the five acts of Brahman called Sr̥ṣṭi, Sthiti, Saṁhāra, Tirōdhāna and Anugraha. There is absolutely nothing that Śiva Pañcākṣarī cannot do, he belongs to Ūrdhvāmnāya. Any person endowed with true devotion to Śiva can recite this Mantra to get rid of any trouble and reach the highest end. You don't need to recite any other mantras.

Thank you Sir! I have heard that one of the easiest ways to please Lalitambika in Kalyuga is to keep reading Lalitopakhyanam and Tripura Rahasya(Mahatmya Khanda) and keep repeating her name. How true is that? Thanks!

In fact, you will not please Lalitā just by reading these scriptures, but by practicing the guidelines they teach. Lalitā is too subtle to be so easily pleased. The easiest way to please Lalitā is to receive the Pañcadaśī Mantra from a qualified Guru, study and meditate on the full meaning of each of the names of Sahasranāma and Triśati. The study and meditation of each of the names of Lalitā Sahasranāma and Lalitā Triśati must be done during the Puraścaraṇa period of the Pañcadaśī Mantra, which takes years to complete. Reciting Lalitā Sahasranāma or Triśati without having studied each of the names deeply and without reciting the Pañcadaśī is like trying to see Lalitā without the eyes. Lalitā will not be satisfied without doing this and there will be no fruit. Lalitā will be even more satisfied if the devotee studies and meditates on the full meaning of all the verses of Saundarya Lahari. The devotee who has studied and fully understood the Sahasranāma, Triśati and Saundarya Lahari during the Puraścaraṇa of the Pañcadaśī Mantra, will obtain the Siddhi of the Mantra, there is no doubt about it. After that the devotee is allowed to recite the Sahasranāma and the Triśati and receive all the benefits mentioned. The devotee cannot recite before studying the names because it is impossible to see an object without getting the eyes first. The Mantra Siddhi of Pañcadaśī is one of the most difficult to obtain.

The intelligent devotee should know that meditation on the full and profound meanings of Lalitā Sahasranāma, Lalitā Triśati and Saundarya Lahari is the key to unlocking the Pañcadaśī Mantra. The intelligent devotee should know that Lalitā can be attained internally through meditation on all this and the recitation of Pañcadaśī. For all the devotees who were lucky enough to find the Manblunder website, there is an explanation of each of these names here. In the past you wouldn't be so lucky.

Hello, how much is the Puraścaraṇa of Mantra Bala Tripura Sundari? You said earlier that Bala is Lalita in child form. Maybe her mantra is better to repeat, it is very difficult to achieve Siddhi of Pañcadaśī. After attaining Mantra Siddhi in Bala Tripura Sundari mantra, what will we get? Thank you.

Namaste. The Puraścaraṇa of Śrī Bālā Tripura Sundarī is 36 lakhs (3.6 million) repetitions. This is valid for the 3-letter, 6-letter and 9-letter Mantras. Other requirements for attaining complete Mantra Siddhi is knowing the personality of the goddess you are worshiping. You should know which attitudes she likes and which she doesn't. You must know exactly what she looks like. Devotion and complete trust in the Goddess is also essential. During Puraścaraṇa, auspicious things begin to happen in your life. If you approach the goddess correctly, Bālā will occasionally visit you in your dreams or during meditation. What she will tell you depends on each devotee. She will spend more and more time with you, because she will truly like you, if your devotion is sincere. Upon attaining the complete Siddhi of Mantra, she will be by your side at all times. After Siddhi, you can continue the recitation to get anything you want, material or spiritual. Normally the different forms of the Divine Mother have specific purposes, but with Śrī Bālā Tripura Sundarī it is different. You can ask her anything, even to initiate you into other Mantras or guide you to her adult form (Lalitā). She also has the ability to pacify all aggressive deities and protect you from all harm. She is very kind. The greatest fruit that Bālā can give you is liberation, and many devotees have already become liberated by worshiping her alone.

Namaste what is the difference between LALITHA and DURGA. Between the two that is ADI SHAKTI. I read that LALITHA is PRATYANGIRA but PRATYANGIRA is not in the 1000 names of LALITHA

Both Śrī Lalitā and Śrī Durgā devis are forms/manifestations of the Divine Mother Śakti. Both are equal and one and the same. They can also be treated differently from a tantra standpoint and accessed through their own set of mantras and prescribed rituals such as yantra worship etc. Śrī Pratyaṅgirā, by definition is beyond the normal ̍aṅgas (parts) of Śrī Lalitā, but yet, by extension (prati) She is the same as Śrī Lalitā. You may treat Śrī Pratyaṅgirā and Śrī Lalitā as two similar entities manifested by Śrī Guhyakāli for all practical purposes. When you probe deeper and have a deeper understanding of the Divine Mother Śakti, everything would be revealed by Her and the Truth will dawn upon you.

Namaste Koko. Please read the Lalitopakhyana <<< https://archive.org/details/SreeLalitopakhyanam >>> and much will become clear.

Mahā Pratyaṅgirā is in the 1000 names of Lalitā. She is in the name "mahā-bhairava-pūjita (231)". She is especially revered by Lord Mahā Bhairava, but he is not her consort. Mahā Pratyaṅgirā is something far beyond what we can imagine and she has no consort. Many say she has a consort, but she doesn't, no one is qualified to be her consort. The scriptures say that when Mahā Pratyaṅgirā becomes angry, even the Parabrahman cannot calm her down. The only thing that calms her down is truth and justice and she can't be stopped until those things are done. The scriptures say that she is willing to stop even Mahā Pralaya to save her sincere devotees. They further say that the devotee who has completely united with her is equivalent to Parabrahman in omnipotence, is a Yogi equivalent to crores of Lords Śiva and stable as crores of Lords Viṣṇu. I am not a devotee of Pratyaṅgirā, but whenever I have worshiped her in an emergency, she has never failed. And she's quick as lightning taking everything in front of her. So she is in the 1000 names of Lalitā.

Please tell us how we came to know in Kali Yuga about such a powerful form of the Divine Mother. Can you tell us more about the glory, greatness of Maha Pratyangira? Thank you.

Namaste. Because she is the Goddess for transitioning from Kali Yuga to Satya Yuga. A qualified soul will utilize the power of Mahā Pratyaṅgirā to reverse and destroy the evil effects of Kali Yuga, making possible the beginning of Satya Yuga. She becomes restless during Kali Yuga, looking forward to the end of this Yuga, but she understands the rules and the right time for it. Although Mahā Pratyaṅgirā's glory is immeasurable, some of it can be witnessed in the hands of a qualified soul. She represents impeccable justice and enlightenment of the highest order. Lucky for us to even know her name. I'll talk more about her at another time, if possible. She is a goddess of many ironies, some very surprising.

Thank you, I will wait for an answer.

Good afternoon, can you tell me the meaning of the 3rd syllable of the mantra Shri Bala Tripura Sundari?

Namaste. The three letters of the Mantra of the Divine Mother Bālā mean Icchā Śakti (The Thrust of God expressing the desire to see Himself in many Forms), Jñāna Śakti (The Ability to Obtain the Cosmos in Seed form), Kriyā Śakti (The Ability to express the Cosmos out of the Seed). Bālā is always accompanied by Śrī Rāja Śyāmalā and Śrī Mahā Vārāhi. This is an order from Lalitā herself that they always accompany her daughter. This is one of the reasons her worship alone can bestow anything. Śrī Mahā Vārāhi is very terrible when she gets angry. Mahā Vārāhi literally kills in seconds dangerous external enemies of innocent devotees. I've seen it up close. This happens because Mahā Vārāhi is very connected to all the physical components of the human being (Dhātunāthās). So it's very easy for her to kill humans. Mahā Vārāhi uses methods and paths very similar to those of Pratyaṅgirā.

Bālā does not have the same maturity as her Mother, she is also free to break rules. This can be good or bad depending on the devotee. The moment you start worshiping Bālā, the Divine Mothers Śrī Rāja Śyāmalā and Śrī Mahā Vārāhi will start to monitor you and observe how you are conducting the power of Bālā. Śyāmalā and Vārāhi can become your best friend or your worst nightmare. It depends on the devotee's attitude towards Bālā. They also keep Lalitā informed of what is going on. Bālā is a great deity to be worshiped by innocent people, but it can be a nightmare for malicious people. I see many people's lives start to get a lot worse by worshiping Bālā because of this. This happens because of the bad intentions in the person's heart. It has nothing to do with one's Karma, because Vārāhi can mitigate all bad effects of Karma. The person's life gets worse because of malice in the heart or intentions. Bālā will always bring benefits to good people, regardless of their Karma.

Tivraji, would Lalita and Chandi both be representing Samshti Rupa of Ma? Also what’s the difference between Lalita and Kamala mahavidya?

Namaste Mnx. The Vedic Rishis never attained to the supermind (this is a more complete perfection and above them) for the earth or perhaps did not even make an attempt. They tried to rise individually to supramental plane, but they did not bring it down and make it a permanent part of the earth-consciousness. Even there are verses of the Upaniṣad in which it is hinted that it is impossible to pass through the gates of the highest perfection and yet retain an earthly body. It was because of this failure that spiritual effort of India culminated in Māyāvāda (the doctrine affirming the world to be illusion). But today, by divine will, highly evolved souls are arising above the Vedic Rishis. These souls are reaching a more complete and integral state of perfection than the Vedic Rishis. These highly evolved souls are called Yogi-Siddhars. I won't name them, but only one has come to Earth so far. That was recent. Their Yoga is a double movement of ascent and descent; one rises to higher and higher levels of consciousness, but at the same time one brings down their power not only into mind and life, but in the end even into the body. And the highest of these levels, the one at which it aims is the supermind (this is above the Vedic Rishis). Only when that can be brought down is a divine transformation possible in earth-consciousness. And this is exactly what will happen in the future by divine will and the action of these souls. Māyāvāda (the doctrine affirming the world to be illusion) is incomplete knowledge, one needs to rise higher. Forget the God of Death, he will no longer rule over the people who will live here on Earth.

You probably think that this new and higher perfection that I am talking about will be difficult to attain. Is not difficult. Indeed all these new energies have already entered within your being and everyone else who lives on Earth. Even if you don't practice any Sadhana, you will reach that perfection very quickly in some very close birth. These energies have now entered everyone and will destroy all impurities on Earth from within to the outermost in an integral manner. This will also be the end of "secrets" and lineages that keep secrets only for themselves. All of us from all countries are brothers and children of the same light. Everyone deserves to achieve perfection. Ancient Saints, Siddhas and Yogis will be able to reincarnate here again to truly conquer death too, to complete the missing part of their knowledge. All this will not take long, in a few thousand years it will become very evident. A new way of living life will begin.

Hi Sir! Are you referring to the Yog-siddha MahaAvtaar Baba Ji in your post? What are your views on "Kriya Yog", "GyanGunj' and the book "An autobiography of a yogi" ? Thank you!

Namaste Tivra ji. Thanks for your enlightening words. Please clear some more doubts. May be this new perfection already existed before and those who attained it, took up important duties in the Universal system. Or is this a new concept in itself? Is this stage the same as Para Brahman or much above Him? Only Human souls are privileged to achieve it or even Devas are aiming to achieve the New Perfectiom? Please describe this New Perfection.

Namaste Tivra. On this beautiful website, Lorran wrote a prayer or mantra (there is a post at the top) ""aruṭperuñjōti aruṭperuñjōti taṉipperuṅkaruṇai aruṭperuñjōti"", before that I didn't even know who Svami Ramalinga Vallalar was, after reading his teachings, I wondered. Why didn't people in India respond widely to the teachings of Swami Ramalinga? His "THE GREAT SERMON" (Revealed on 22-10-1873) is a very powerful teaching. In essence, this is a worldwide teaching and it is unfortunately little known.

La-li-tā. She has 3 letters and is seated in 3 centers from Sahasrara. In Sahasrara Lalita shines like a red ruby ​​stone beautiful like the rising sun; above the Sahasrara and highest Lalitā shines like a pearl with the beauty of the full moon; above this center far above the Sahasrara Lalitā shines like a diamond. The only Yogi-Siddhar who managed to reach that level where Lalitā shines like a big diamond was Swami Ramalinga. In this center Lalitā becomes very aggressive towards the tamasic forces and she descends into the physical body transforming it completely into a physical body of light. The Mahā Mantra "aruṭperuñjōti aruṭperuñjōti taṉipperuṅkaruṇai aruṭperuñjōti" is the most powerful Mantra in existence. Any other Mantra does not come close to the power of this Mantra. It was made to realize the Supreme Personality of Godhead (who is also Lalitā) in all bodies, including the physical. Swami Ramalinga reached the perfection of this Mantra and got the three immortal bodies (Suddha Deha, Pranava Deha and Jnana Deha). Thereafter he dematerialized his body to penetrate all bodies in the universe, including Earth. He did this in order to destroy all darkness from the innermost to the outermost so that all people on Earth could have the body and realization like his. The presiding deity of the Mantra is Aruṭperuñjōti or the Supreme Personality of Godhead. At this level of realization Divine Mother Lalitā or Śyāmalā is called Parañjyotisvarūpiṇī or Grace Śakti. Grace Śakti is something far above Sahasrara. Here Lalitā shines like a diamond in indistinct union with her consort. Swami Ramalinga used to say, "You are my Mother and Father".

My greetings also to the great souls Thirumoolar, Sri Aurobindo and The Mother (Mirra Alfassa). They truly came very close to the same realization as Swami Ramalinga. They will achieve their goal yet. They are also working towards a great collective purpose right now.

Anyone wishing to practice the above Mantra, keep in mind that Mantras are not tools. You must become the Mantra you recite. The Mahā Mantra I mentioned above requires you to change your attitude and act with compassion for all beings without exception. You must become the embodiment of compassion. If you believe that you are not capable of this, do not practice this Mantra. Purify yourself by other means first if you feel you are not ready. Grace Siddhi is completely different from Yoga Siddhi in that you can convince the deity with the power of your mechanical effort and little devotion. You will not be able to deceive God. Reciting this Mantra billions of times will be useless if you hurt other people by action or thought. There is no other way, either you become the embodiment of compassion or the Mantra will never work for you. I know it's hard. There is Shri Vidya for you to prepare beforehand.

Thank you very much for the detailed answer and caution. Can you expand your understanding of the third line of the mantra "taṉipperuṅkaruṇai" I understand that as "great compassion". As you wrote without universal compassion for everyone, this is a Higher energy, it can just burn the brain.

Swami Ramalinga said that before the descent of Grace Shakti into his soul he did not even know what left or right was, that he did not know anything. Compassion embraces everything, and with that he received the combined knowledge of everything that was, is, and will be, without having to go through the usual procedures for gaining knowledge. He received all knowledge through intuition of knowledge (Karma Siddhi), through direct seeing of knowledge (Yoga Siddhi) and through identification with knowledge, ie, he himself becomes knowledge (Jnana Siddhi). Therefore he said that compassion gave him the combined knowledge of all Yoga schools and paths. Putting all this together he gained the power to set in motion the 64,000 (sixty-four thousand) types of Maha Shaktis and their corresponding 688 crores of Maha Siddhis. This is Grace Shakti, the all-manifesting power of the Lord. A bad person lacks compassion, so it becomes impossible for him to attain. Only good people can achieve this.

Namaste Rajiv. The first aruṭperuñjōti of the mantra means God as the force that transcends the universe and all descriptions (God became himself). The second aruṭperuñjōti of the mantra means God manifested as the universe and all forms within it. The expression taṉipperuṅkaruṇai brings the main quality of God which is Supreme Compassion. In this part of the mantra you are asking God to become you and you to become him. The Siddhar who sees the entire universe and the God who transcends it as his own self is the true omnipotent one. The third aruṭperuñjōti means the union of the soul (jeeva), God as the manifested universe and God as the supreme authority that transcends the universe and all descriptions. The great secret of this mantra is that the manifested universe is not seen as an illusion, but as a part of the transcendental God Himself. The Siddhar becomes the soul, the universe and the transcendental God simultaneously. Understanding this mantra is like cooking the knowledge of the Bhagavad Gita (Shiva) and the Tantras (Shakti) in a pot and transcending both. Compassion is the main part of the mantra because it is the all-embracing quality. People tend to say that God is one thing and not another, when in fact he is everything, because of his supreme compassion. In short, the mantra says that the soul, the manifested universe, and the God who transcends all these are all truth. None of them are illusion, all together they are the truth. The presiding deity of the Mantra wants to embrace the soul that recites it, but the soul needs to allow itself to be embraced through compassion, which is nothing more than accepting God himself (everything) as his own self. This is kind of hard in practice because we have a lot of glitches. A realized devotee in Sri Vidya is more likely to succeed because he has already overcome many obstacles.

Namaste Tivra Ji. Let me ask, is Sath Vichaaram a thinking on the Atman that Ramana Maharshi gave? Who revealed Maha Mantra - Arutperumjyoti and how does Sri Ramalingam's teaching relate to Advaita? I will be very glad if you shed light on these issues.

Namaste Rajiv. I will send 2 books to your email. I will be sending these 2 books to Krishna as well, as I have great respect for his work with this site. These two books will tell you everything you will need to know to understand and use the Aruṭperuñjōti Mantra. This is a different Mantra as you strive to release and uplift yourself and all souls that still suffer. These two books were the best things I've ever read. When I read them in the past, I felt it was knowledge my soul had been searching for lifetimes. This knowledge alone was able to fully satisfy my soul. Reading the first book is necessary to understand the second book. The second book will be the most beautiful thing you will ever read in your life. There's no doubt about it.

Thank you very much, Tigra ji.  I am very happy.

Tivraji, still waiting for you to reply to on few of the questions I had posted. Also would be great if you can grace me also with this knowledge.

Namaste Swati. There are some things I'm not allowed to say or do. At least for a while. Sorry. Blessings.

Can you share these 2 books with all of us?

Namaste Mnx. You are right. What I said is exactly the way Lalitāmbika thinks. Lalitā is very happy with the devotee who understands her that way. That's why the meditation verse of the śrī vidyā pañcadaśākṣarī mantra says "aruṇām̐ karuṇā taraṅgitākṣīm̐" (with the red glow of the rising sun, her compassion for the devotees and the world flows from her eyes like ocean waves; I meditate on Bhavānī, a state of supreme happiness with rays of light). The meditation verse explains why Lalitā is the most beautiful of all worlds. It's because of her view of the world (the compassion coming out of her eyes that embraces the universe like ocean waves). It is because of this that Lalitā attracts all minds, all souls, all names, all breaths, all knowledge, all beings and all worlds. For this reason, all worlds feel welcomed by her. It is for this reason that all worlds respect her as their Supreme Queen. All worlds respect Lalitā because they feel embraced by her compassion. That's why she is the most beautiful of all worlds and her true devotee is called "Master of Final Liberation". For that reason she is able to command the universe. Generally, Lalitā feels somewhat rejected by the devotee who sees the universe as an illusion. Lalitā starts to think that the devotee only loves her consort who is Lord Siva. What ends up happening is that instead of the devotee becoming the Divine Supreme in its entirety, the devotee ends up becoming more the static aspect of the Supreme, because the vision of him has pushed away Lalitā who is also the most powerful Mother Grace Śakti. This devotee's knowledge becomes incomplete. This devotee realizes only a large part of the static aspect of the Supreme. This devotee is happy, but not completely happy. The Great War narrated in the thousand names of Lalitā really happened, and everyone there knew that it was a divine play. Everyone there knew they were safe. So this is the explanation why She is called Lalitā Mahā Tripurasundari Parābhaṭṭārikā. The most beautiful of all worlds.

During the Great War, Bālā (the daughter of Lalitā) said: "Mother, the sons of Bhaṇḍa, the great Daitya, have come to fight. I wish to fight with them. I am interested in this because I am a young girl. My arms throb with an itching sensation for war. This is my playful activity. It should not be curbed by your orders of prohibition. Indeed I am a girl loving toys and playful pastimes. By this play of fighting for a moment, I shall become delighted mentally.” "When she (young girl) was set out for the battle, the deities stationed on all the steps of Śrīcakra bowed down to her with palms joined in reverence and held their swords erect." This is one of my favorite lines from Lalitopakhyana because it so vividly shows the nature of Śakti.
