Meaning -
This is a fourteen syllabled mantra with some syllables representing bīja (seed) mantras. The parts of the main mantra including the bījas are described below. –
- The Tārā bīja (seed) mantra om̐ helps us navigate across the life cycle of life and death. It is also the Śabda Brahman representing auspiciousness. The bīja (seed) mantra om̐ (ॐ) consists of – ‘au’ => healing and deep cleansing, ‘m̐’ => removes misery. Ushers in auspiciousness. It is also the cause of sṛṣṭi, sthiti and pralay It is the primordial sound of the Creation.
- The Kāmakalākālī and Mahāmāyā bīja (seed) mantra hrīm̐ represents all the triads, such as Creation, Preservation and Destruction. It also signifies concentration, power, ambition and the drive to accomplish the desired results. The Bhuvaneśvarī bīja (seed) mantra “hrīm̐ (ह्रीँ)” consists of – ‘h’ => Brahman/śiva, ‘r’ => Prakṛti meaning nature and Repha meaning, fire and drive within us, ‘ī’ => Mahāmāyā the cosmic virtual reality and also the energy and source of all power that helps us ascend, ‘m̐’ => removal of all miseries and facilitator of self-realization and ultimate liberation.
In addition, ‘h’ represents the ether (ākāśa) and the infinite, ‘r’ represents the fire (agni), ‘ī’ is air (vāyu). Adding the Earth (pṛthvī) element along with Water (jala), completes all the natural elements that are responsible for the Creation and Sustenance. The Divine Mother Bhuvaneśvarī, is the Universal Mother and is the Creator, Preserver and Destroyer of all the three realms called as bhūḥ (Terrestrial), bhuvaḥ (Celestial) and svaḥ (Infernal). The triads are also representative and inclusive of the physical, astral and causal bodies. The letter ‘m̐’ denoting nāda-bindu, is for removal of all miseries and facilitation of self-realization and ultimate liberation.
Overall, this bīja represents power and authority of all types. It is also called the tantra praṇava, equating its status with the om̐ bīja.
- The Prasādapara bīja/seed mantra “hsauḥ (ह्सौः)“ represents self-realization and liberation. It is the combination of ‘h’ indicating Śiva – the static super-consciousness and the parā bīja/seed mantra ‘sauḥ’ representing self-realization and liberation.
- The mantra hrīm̐ is repeated again for enhanced power and manifestation of its all round benefits.
- The bīja (seed) mantra “śrīm̐ (श्रीँ)” consists of – ‘ś’ indicates Mahālakṣmī, repha ‘r’ indicates dhana or wealth, ‘ī’ indicates tuṣṭi or satisfaction, ‘m̐’ denotes nāda indicating parā or śakti and vindu indicates duḥkhahara or removal of all miseries. This bīja denotes the fruition of all our desires.
- The word “lakṣmī-nārāyaṇāya (नारायणाय)” refers to the Lord of all sentient beings and the insentient matter in the entire Creation. His consort and śakti is the Divine Mother Śrī Lakṣmī, the bestower of abundance, prosperity, status, auspiciousness, health and wealth.
- The bīja (seed) mantra namaḥ (नमो) refers to our salutations to the Divine and constitutes a bond that is nurtured in our heart.
