ऐँ ईँ औः ॥

The 3 lettered Śrī Śuddhavidyā Manonmanī Tryakṣarī Mahāmantraḥ should be recited at least 108 times. Initiation is required.

Meaning -

This is a three syllabled mantra with all the syllables representing bīja (seed) mantras. The parts of the main mantra including the constituting bījas are described below. –

The Aiśvarya mātṛkā, Viṣṇu māyā and Sarasvatī bīja “aim̐ (ऐँ)”, dispels ignorance and bestows immense knowledge, mastery in arts and amazing creativity. It also represents abundance of fortune, not just in material terms but also in spiritual aspects. The letter 'ai' stands for Sarasvatī as well as Ugrabhairavī or Unmattabhairavī denoting knowledge, pinnacle of achievements in all arts and literature as well as shaping one's destiny and excelling in marvelous creations and ingenuity. The letter vindu 'm̐' stands for duḥkhaharaṇa, meaning removal of all miseries thereby granting immense happiness.
The Kāmakal ā bīja (seed) mantra “ī m̐ (ईँ)” represents ‘ī’ denoting Mahāmāyā, the cosmic virtual reality and also the energy and source of all power that helps our ascension, ‘ī’ also denotes Kāmakalā who amalgamates both the static and dynamic aspects of the super-consciousness denoted by Śiva and Śakti, evoking immense bliss, self-realization leading to ultimate liberation while still embodied in our physical form. The vindu (bindu) ‘m̐’ denotes removal of all miseries and becomes the facilitator of self-realization and ultimate liberation.
The “auḥ (औः)” bīja (seed) mantra consists of the Ḍākinī Yogini ‘au’ representing the power of the yoginis. The ‘au’ is also the Vyoma and Vyāpinī bīja denoting omnipresence. The bīja ‘h’ is the Visarga denoting the culmination of the search for Truth and attaining self-realization leading to liberation.
The auḥ bīja leads to the folding of the Śrī cakra into the bindu. The entire Creation is absorbed by the super-consciousness from which it devolved. In the context of our lives, this leads to ultimate liberation while still embodied in our physical form.
